Epiphanie Bloom & Birth Details
September 4th 2007 15:49
It was at the age of twenty that, having my name changed in the past for reasons of length and difficulty in spelling in the past, I decided to take full responsibility for how I was named and came up with the new title of Epiphanie Bloom. It seemed a way to inform people of my enthusiasm for life, revelation and revolution straight away, if my name was communicated as one of the first things about me. My parents had originally named me Maria Hristova Krivodolska, which became Maria Hristova Borissova when I was in primary school, reverting from my father’s last name to my mother’s in order to shorten the letters and make it sound less Polish (my parents were Bulgarian and apparently decided that it sounded that way, though they have nothing against Polish people), and was later further abbreviated to Maria Emily Bell. So by the time I was twenty I was already used to having ‘new’ names and all the complications that came with getting a new name. Three years later, Epiphanie Bloom has treated me admirably well – people tend to identify me as a driven, creative type of person right off the bat, and I often receive compliments on my name.
Since I’m beginning with my name, I might as well give you some further historical details – my birth certificate states that I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I spent almost all of my first seven years, but I was actually born in Tripoli, Libya, a place where I spent my first seven months and am very curious about visiting one day, so that I can take in the air that I first breathed all those years ago. Apparently the Libyan government didn’t want to accept responsibility for the paperwork surrounding my birth, and so I was automatically listed as being born in Bulgaria. And so my first overseas trip occurred before the age of one, which was quite fitting for what was to come.
I was born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio, with an Aquarius moon and a Libra ascendant and have found that astrology is very accurate in my case – I treat it as a personality test without the test. Basically, I am a very deep person with a deep eccentricity, strong sense of spirituality and am attracted to things beautiful or harmonious. I am also very complicated. But you’ll find out all about that as we progress…

Bit surprised to see you reveal personal information on your blog, but maybe it's better to live one's life with complete transparency...

Uni's pretty good, I just completed a take home exam so I'm going to relax today...
I don't mind sharing my personal details - in fact, I'm using the blog as a trial test for my autobiography. I should add more in the days to come... is the writing engaging so far?

The compliment is greatly appreciated! ^^
I've actually written a bit more, but I realised that I don't want to post too much of what I'm going to put in the book... so this is a teaser, if you like. I can send you some stuff if you lie, though... once I've edited it properly and it looks presentable enough, that is!
