On the difficulties of choosing a blog name

I've got to be honest - I find choosing an online handle to be a bit of an arduous process. It felt a lot easier in the early days of the web, when I was a teenager keen to show my personal tastes as obviously as possible (a Palahniuk quote perhaps, or just my favourite band at the time with my name after it) - now, however, I like something a bit more abstract.
As it turns out, the title I have chosen is a rehashing of my teenage technique - pick an author I love, choose a quote, use some words out of it. I have also just realised that I paraphrased said words. Nonetheless: Into The Volcano. Let's hope it doesn't annoy me ridiculously by the time a week or so has passed.


“And we will be ready, at the end of every day will be ready, will not say no to anything, will try to stay awake while everyone is sleeping, will not sleep, will make the shoes with the elves, will breathe deeply all the time, breathe in all the air full of glass and nails and blood, will breathe it and drink it, so rich, so when it comes we will not be angry, will be content, tired enough to go, gratefully, will shake hands with everyone, bye, bye, and then pack a bag, some snacks, and go to the volcano.”
