Apropos of Nothing

I really hate it when people misspell my name.

It's not a common name. It's unusual, I know, and even the people who share it with me spell it differently than I do. I can excuse it to a degree. If you've just met me, or if you've never seen it written down, or only write my name down infrequently, whatever, I don't care.

BUT. My professional email address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Is it SO HARD to realize that I spell my name like the first half of said email address when you're emailing me? Or, when you've known me for a really long time, and had opportunity to see me write my name and spell my name many times, is it so hard to spell it right?

It's totally unjustified, but it seriously pisses me off.

As far as I know, you don't know me. You clicked on some of my dragons on one of my comms and I really liked your username, so decided to check you out. Your post on the Twilight books was excellent, and I like your book reviews. Which means I decided to keep an eye on you. Hope you don't mind too much!

I love Runaways. I so need to find more of the comics. Poor Gert...

Of course I don't mind! It's nice to meet you. I just am always curious how people find me. Welcome :).
