I like to explain things, so here's a meme I can get behind with pleasure and not just solely out of boredom.

My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My name is _____ because ______.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is ____ because ___.


My journal is called "Recommended for libraries serving a trendy population" because I was reading reviews of books on Amazon and they posted a review from the American Library Association and I started to get obssesed with reading only their reviews because at the end they'd often say what kind of libraries the book is recommended for, and I decided I aspired to have my book reviewed by them and recommended to a "trendy population." I mean, what does that even mean?

My subtitle is "writer + dj" because that's what it says on my business cards.

My name is "Have you met me?" because I ask this question a lot, often in the context of someone confessing something to me that is sort of ridiculous because I'm obviously in the same category. For Example, "I dunno, maybe I should feel bad, but I'm just a slut and want to have lots of sex!" and I reply, "um, have you met me?"

My friends pages is "Stop Hitting Reload" because I get bored and obsessive at work and will just hit reload over and over again, waiting for people to update. So I need to remind myself to stop hitting relod and go do something with my life. It doesn't usually work.

My username is "raybear" because I'm called ray and I'm a bear. I've had this username for nearly four years and sometimes wish I had a more anonymous handle, but oh well. Then again, with the tendency to call people by their LJ names, there could be a lot worse appellations.

Q Valentine

My name is Q Valentine because one day at my old bakery job at a market I was closing up and this local regular customer came up to me and asked me if he could call me "Q". I wasn't quite sure what he was saying, so I just nodded yes. Then he said " I never date white women, but if I did, she'd look just like you." I was slightly creaped out by his tone, and the fact that we were closing up the market and I was at the bakery alone, but since I saw the guy every night I worked there I just humored him. So I just smiled and asked " why are you calling me Q?" and he said " because you sure are Q-te!!!" (said like the word cute.)I've secretly hoped people would just naturally start calling me Q, but that hasn't happened. Though I really like my real last name Manville, so I like when people call me Manville too.

Valentine is for my favorite holiday.

I now feel completely dull for not naming my Friends page or anything.
