Good morning. If you're confused when you see this name on your f-list, don't be. It was time for a change from lerdo. I've also changed my Twitter and Fanfiction.net usernames. At Twitter, I'm onlymorelove. At fanfiction.net, I'm only-more-love. I would have kept all three exactly the same, but the naming conventions are different at each place.
I've been lerdo for more than a decade. When I picked the name, I was really young; I had no idea how your online identity can follow you around forever. When my brother and I were kids, we watched Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (a Star Wars movie) a gazillion times. In the movie, it sounded like one of the Ewoks said, "Lerdo." Somehow, that became my username. (Yeah, I got nothing.)
A few years ago, someone told me that lerdo means slow and stupid in Spanish. *g* I hated the name long before I picked up that nugget of information, but I just never got around to changing it. This time I thought it made sense to be very deliberate in choosing a name.
Only-more-love comes from the following Mother Teresa quote: "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
Anyway, same person, different name. :)
I will get used to it in no time!
And I had always wondered where lerdo came from...lol.
Now you know! Pretty ridiculous origin, I know. :P
PS. It's a good job I know your REAL name, or I wouldn't know what to call you now.. I still call

What shall we call you? "OMoLo"?:-D
LMAO OMoLo is a mouthful, huh? You can still call me L or Lerdo, if you prefer. Or you can call me S. If OML is easiest, that works, too. I'm not really hung up on it; I just needed to do an "official" change, if that makes any sense.
In some cultures, a person changes their "use" name whenever their life or personality make a major change or when they feel that said name no longer reflects who they feel they are. Glad to see you doing so. I can't imagine you as slow or stupid, but more loving? Oh, yeah.
I like your new name, but even if I didn't it's yours and you chose it. We'll get used to it. I hope. *g*
I once changed my name too, I had chosen the first one without thinking. :D
