As you must have noticed, some micro-changes have been taking place on the blog for the last few days. Yes indeed, look closer, the banner and then, here, top left, under the scary eyes and on twitter too…
I’m FED UP of being la méchante!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, I said it out loud, rhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, that feels good!
I’m sick and tired of people telling me “hi hi, but you don’t look that mean” or “ho ho but actually, you’re not that mean” or else “he he, are you really mean?”. IT’S GETTING ON MY NERVES, there, that’s all. I chose that username 4 years ago because I thought it funny and today I’m not feeling quite so smart with my great joke!
It is difficult to explain why I chose this slightly SM-sounding username to some intimates, but also difficult to explain it to the different aroused madmen who send me mails for me to whip them virtually… Fed up of ending up introducing myself with embarrassment: “hello, Elodie… la méchante” whereas, one must admit it, this username has nothing to do with the price of fish, I don’t do anything here that would still justify my bearing that name any longer. If you add to that all the clever little buggers who enjoy writing nasty comments on crappy blogs I don’t even read and signing them “la méchante” with my URL, you get a blogger on the verge of the nervous breakdown (still you will object that changing my username will not change much…)
That’s why I’ve decided to change, even if it looks slightly schizophrenic, and to take this username I’ve always loved: Eleonore Bridge. I love it for the English sound of it, obviously, but also because it’s an anagram of my real name and this is altogether more stylish. It is weird that I should make such a choice, I’ve always thought that people who used an username were ridiculous, you never know how to call them. Except that given that people call me la méchante, I’d rather be Eleonore!
I am well aware that people will keep calling that for a long time and that the harm is already done, I’ve also been told “nope, but you shouldn’t change, it’s no good for your P.R”. I don’t CARE! I won’t bear that username one more second.
This bloody URL and the title of my blog still remain as they were and I can’t manage to change them because google is too stupid to see the link (and I do care about that however). But I haven’t played all my cards, one of these days this username will have completely disappeared and that day, I’ll breathe easy, there!

I don’t understand french much so I don’t know what other people commented but I feel that what ever you do with your username and blog, it is your own decision and your own business. No-one should tell YOU how to do this and if you want to change your username, it is fine by me. That still shouldn’t affect on the contents of the blog, should it? I mean, you still keep doing the same thing and posting with your own style no matter what your username is. If the name you chose before is bothering you and giving you hard times, I say go for it, change it if it helps. I only hope that you still keep blogging and I can come here and enjoy your colourful and pretty blog in the future aswell. Thank you !
