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.

catching up on old entries

my journal is called "this is how i work" for two reasons. one, because i most often write journal entries while at the job where i make money, and two because in that sense of how my mind 'works.'

i don't think i have a subtitle. or do i?

i don't know the difference between 'name' and 'username' and this confusion caused me to have the names i have. if i could have figured it out, my name and username would have been 'weishenme' which is the chinese word for 'why?' when i lived in china, i used that word more than almost anything else. i also love the way it sounds.

so then i got 'louche' because i'd just been saying that word that day for some reason. i love how it sounds and how it makes your lips purse (and if you've seen pictures of me, i'm often pursing my lips). plus, the meaning is divine.

that's what i know.
