What's in a name?

[juju]

My name comes from the days when I was heavily into witchcraft. I was.. misguided. But man, I thought I could do everything.. My friends and I thought we were the equivalent of demigods. We had a very detailed religion of our own making, based on our explorations of the spirit world and what we discovered to be the heirarchy of the various planes of existence. The sad part is that <i>everyone</i> believed us and feared us. People came to me with thier life problems, and everyone I know wanted me to teach them. I had lots of students. Good times.

So, through a communion with the "mindstone", which is on another plane of existance (Necrala), we determined that my true name was Jujunaxidiouslyinixdel. That's what I was known by in the spirit world.

Or just 'Juju' for short. :)

I've radically altered my beliefs since then, and I now consider myself agnostic. I don't believe any of it anymore. Now i'm sort of anti-religion, because I understand first-hand how completely fucked up not using <i>reason</i> can make your mind.

All my friends that have known me for a long time still call me Juju, though. I enjoy being called Juju, because it reminds me just how <i>long</i> i've known that person in real life. So the name has just stuck.
