My username is _____ because ____.
“transmothra”
Years ago, i used to occasionally walk into a room and suddenly (sometimes belligerently) announce that i would prefer, going forward, to be known by my “real” name. This was usually met with silence, comic apprehension, and finally, the question ‘yeah, ok, what?’ Then i would proceed to proclaim that my true name was [insert something fantastic and/or utterly silly]. Then i would completely refuse to answer to any other name but that for the rest of the day, and sometimes longer, if i felt like it, feigning absolute ignorance at why anybody would yell the name “Jeremy” at me instead of my actual name.
“He says his name is Lord Wellesby Higgenbotham Smith-Smith-something the something-or-other”
“[exasperated but amused sigh] Higgenbotham!”
“[innocently] Mm-hm, yes?”
Around 1994 or so, i chose to have been named “Transmothra” all along, for whatever reason. These things generally just tend to pop out. Transmothra stuck, for some reason. My full name, that particular day, was determined to be Transmothra Louise Osmond.
My name is _____ because ______.
“transmothra”
i am not very clever.
My journal is titled ____ because ____.
“transmothra – signs of the collapse”
That’s my name, and my journal is, essentially, a record of my gradual and impending (mental and physical) breakdown. Singular. All things gradually go to hell, after all.
My friends page is called ____ because ____.
“disorderly conductors” (linked with the phrase “Sociopath haven”)
Any flist is chaotic, and there are many people leading the verbal frenzy. Also, it takes a certain kind of sociopathic personality, benevolent or not, to broadcast your life into cyberspace for the rest of eternity, and LJ is a haven for those of us who are just that. Plus, i like to think of my gang of friends as being a bunch of crazy damned crazies. That makes me laugh. I love all you lunatics!
My default userpic is ____ because ____.
black background, red border, grey silhouette of self
this was the general scheme of one of the previous iterations of my vain little corner of teh internets.
