I needed a new username -- what I'd had previously suited me fine, but I felt like needing to reinvent myself in a place which didn't have very many usernames anyways, and would suit my personality more (as this site is a very personal, opinionated, passionate, thoughtful place). I am reserved, used to be quite shy, see myself as an introvert, but contrary to the Google 'define demure' definition of the word, I'm a guy. Hence: demure. Elsewhere it's started to be demur_e as people take the word itself more often than I expected.
