wow you have travelled to an incredible amount of places . . . if i did a blog like this it would be nowhere near as interesting . . . you even have an interesting name, i love the fact that you changed it!

you're a bit of an eccentric arent you? haha

did you change your name for the purposes of writing?

ive always wondered about doing that but it seems redundant when i have a weird name anyway!

also, i think this is the first time ive seen a pic of joss whedon . . . not what i expected . . . lets be honest, i thought joss was a woman!

now why are you going to marry a californian?

Hey Morgan,

Just a bit of an eccentric?

I changed my name because I thought Epiphanie Bloom was more fabulous than Maria Bell. I thought it was more representative of my personality.

If you do want to change your name, you just have to go to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages and sign the paperwork... I think it cost about $80. The only annoying thing is having to change your name on all your bank cards and other official documents. I found that it was worth it, though!

I'm not surprised you thought Joss was female, but there it is. It's lovely to have him as a working feminist in today's popular culture texts, don't you think?

I want to marry a Californian because I consider the state to be my home, and would love to live there again (legally!).

Australia, of course.

Technically I've also been to Chile since I've been to Easter Island but I'm not entirely sure I should count it as such.
