My online nick name is Lorien, a name I picked from Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Though it's not my real name, it is my "real" name on the net. And why, you ask? Well, since I'd adopted this name some five and a half years ago, my whole life had changed. There's a Jewish belief that a person can change their luck by changing their names. I'd changed mine - online - and my whole life had a surprisingly wonderful huge turn for the better. So... for you... I am Lorien. February 6th, 1997 was my first day online. I didn't know anything about the net at that time. My brother - who was already into computer stuff - was my mentor. I've started my first homepage in August, 1997 when I was testing my poor knowledge of Html . Later, I've developed my own domain. I was born in Israel on October 3rd, 1959, and had lived there for 39 years of my life. These days I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with my husband Joe whom I've met on the Internet on June 1997, and in the real world On May 1998. I've moved to Canada on March 24, 1999, and we got married on December 19 that year. Yea, I'm a good solid Israeli girl in nature, and that won't change ever, I guess. I left my country simply because I wanted - and needed - to be with Joe. I left my family, home, friends, my past... I took my memories with me, and the blessing of those who love me... I've kept an online journal for few years, and afterwards - this closed weblog, 2 HaTs. Nowadays you can find me at JoLoLog, where me and my husband showcase our photos. Come visit us over there *s*. |
