Two reasons, I think (I've been asking myself why). First, I've been Toastie for a dozen years. I've chosen to embrace it whereas I could've let the college nickname die a long time ago. It's part of every internet and computer ID I create and even people at work know me by it. But part of me would really like to be known as Dave, and since LJ is a big part of me these days, it seemed a good place to make the chance. Second, I've been very depressed in the past week, and terminating toastie97 seemed kinda violent and cathartic without actually doing any real harm to myself.
Glad you asked, because I needed to think about it. And thanks for the add.
