oloriel: (understanding poetry)
[personal profile] oloriel
Yeah, I know, I did this a few years ago already... but since so much has changed, I cave in and do it again.

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] malicedl and [livejournal.com profile] ladymiriamel, this time.

a. My username is ____ because ____.

b. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

c. My subtitle is ____ because ____.

d. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

e. My default userpic is ____ because ____.



a. My username is oloriel because I actually wanted 'lyra', but it was taken (and the journal was purged the very evening after I registered, grr!), so I had to look for something else, and I ended up with the Quenya translation of 'dream-maiden' because I'm a useless dreamer, I am.

b. My journal is titled You can't look dignified when you're having fun because a) I love the X-wing series where Wes Janson says these very wise words and b) it's fitting. I am 22; you don't dress up when you're 22 (unless you're in Cologne and it's February). You behave and act your age. Well I don't. Dressing up for movies, singing loudly (and wrongly) and bouncing around is FUN. So I don't appear like a grown-up. Who cares?

c. My subtitle is I hold with those who favour fire because I always need some random poetry quotage. This one is, of course, from the poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost. I like Robert Frost, but I mainly picked it out of my obsession with Fëanor. And because I simply like it.
And yes, I know that it's 'favor' in the original. But I tend to use the British spelling on words like favour and neighbour. I'm evil like that.

d. My friends page is called Strangers from distant lands, friends of old because I not only need random poetry quotage but also random Tolkien quotage. And this quote (Elrond's Council, of course) seemed fitting for a friends page.

e. My default userpic is changing all the time, but right now it's the little boy dressed up as an angel on a bike from the Everything is Illuminated trailer because I like it, and it's non-threatening and vaguely funny and vaguely sweet and vaguely artsy (or so I think) and I just felt like using it as my default icon for a while. Subject to change, of course; it's likely that in a few weeks, I'll have a new default icon. Such is life.



... wow. I don't think I was supposed to write an essay on that.

Oh, it does. But I didn't dress up as Snape, I was Luna Lovegood... ;)
