Kifed from ❦curmudgeon:
My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is ____ because _____.
My default userpic is _____ because _____.
My journal is called "Bilmo's Log" because I somehow acquired the nickname Bilmo (Muppet-in-waiting) while I worked at Sesame Street, and because "Bilmo's Log" sounds vaguely pornographic.
My subtitle is "A Journal of Thought and Other Indiscretions" because I'm a big fan of facile irony. (Wait, is it still irony if recent events have proven it true?)
My friends page is called "Bilmo's Friends" because I like to think of my friends as friends.
My username is ❦shunn because that's the title of my first novel, which may or may not ever see print. (Right now I'm betting on "may.") And I had the name before that rock band from Philadelphia tried to take it.
My default userpic is a cartoon caricature of Bilmo drawn by Geoff Fowler because I dig it. and because Geoff said I could use it on my Web site. And look at how many different ways I can dress it up.
