What's Going On?

Coming up with a user name is always a small piece of hell, isn't it? I mean, you want to be funny, smart, witty. You want people to look at your little creation and think "hmm this one looks interesting". I thought of many user names. I thought about my cats names. I thought about names that I have used before. I did not want to use "acorn" because it seems a little lame, no? But it's the one that ultimately fit. I chose the name acorn for myself years ago when I was interested in paganism. Not that I am no longer interested - I just don't have the time to do any more research right now. I chose it because I was just beginning, and felt that I was on the cusp of really learning who I was. That was probably eight years ago. Now, with my 28th birthday fast approaching, I wonder if I'm any closer now than I was back then. I've lived a lot, and learned a lot, but I'm still finding things out about myself on a pretty constant basis. But then I suppose I am not alone in that. With the new year ahead (and good riddance to 05) I can't help but feel that things will be better this year. But then that's what I think every year, and still I am an acorn. Hmm. Where did I go wrong? Is anyone out there listening? If a girl pours her heart out on the internet, does anybody hear?
