[kitty_katya]

qotd: What's the origin of your username? If you could change it to anything else, would you, and what would it be?originally, there was starkat. the basis of the name is pretty basic. star (because i like stars and decorate things with stars) and kat (my nickname to some people is katiekat) i'm not entirely sure why i abandoned that journal. i

Yes please! I miss your photo blog.

Thanks again for the ride! I highly enjoyed our stolen time together :)

My username came from a short-lived nickname "janabel" from high school days... there was some joke that I barely remember about me getting my first car and calling it "janabel's junkerbel". That never materialized, but when I signed up for LJ back in (gasp) 2004, I added the 'la' and here we are.

Mildly funny story: I once almost convinced my gullible/awkward boss that my real name was Janabella, and I just went by Jana for short. ;) Then one day in a meeting he called me "Janelle" and no one corrected him even though we were all with the confused faces. (Was it a joke? Did he really not know my name after 6 months of working for him? I still don't know.)

Yay! I love these more frequent Kate posts!!

My username is Gargamel's cat's name in The Smurfs, with the added "le" to make it girlified. I chose it because I love the 80s hardcore...I'm a total nostalgiphile and I thought it sounded really pretty when I heard it as an adult. I can't get it as a username anywhere else (even had to add the undserscores to get it here). I read somewhere that it is also a name for the "angel of death", so there's probably a lot of goth/emo/angsty teenager competition for it.

I always have a soft spot for bird names (for possible future kid names too?) I remember when we first got the webs, I signed up for chat rooms as "tanager". I might change to something like that or something more witty/meaningful like other pals have as their usernames.

I love you as azraelle, especially now that I know the origin.

Mine is easy. Nath calls me shelle belle, he is the one who got me to get a journal, and since he would be reading my posts it would be 'see'ing.
