olesia is incapable of interesting subject titles

So hey guys! Perhaps it's just because I'm up to my eyeballs in bleach fumes right now, or my cup runneth over with excitement over these nearly-thirty reserves for this impending application round (you guys every name on this list is beautiful), but I can't write tags to save my life and am instead going to harass you guys. I have no regrets!

Instead of anything useful, here is a question for you:

if your character were in charge of what username you used for their journal, what would they pick, and why?
How would they react to the one they currently have?

Alternately: if there are any other journal names you wished you'd used instead, what are they? And feel free to suggest horrible renames to everyone else.



Why no I'm not using this as a launching board for renaming one of my character accounts, not in the slightest
(I am terrible at lying)

I did not know this! I will still blame LJ's jerkitude.

And also I did not know that, but you shouldn't feel bad. Some usernames go right over my head for the longest time, even when they should be supremely obvious ([Bad username or site: hulkkeysmash title= @ livejournal.com] comes to mind).

I didn't know until I renamed to tamerlane. I wanted shadowpact (and if it's ever purged I AM SO ON THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW), but Tamerlane was too lovely to resist.

Ms. Katonic was a stage name she used. It's a reference to Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University. Because she's a geek. c:

It's okay. I do that a lot, myself. I can't think of any instances, but I'm sure it wouldn't take very long to come up with any.
