Curious Is as Curious Does

So, I suppose you could call this a "meme". Maybe. Anyhoo.

1. Where did you get / what is the inspiration behind your LJ username?

2. For those that use it, what is the inspiration behind your AIM name?

[staturity]

staturity I don't really know why I came up with this. For some reason it popped into my mind as a play on "maturity" which, in retrospect, is actually pretty fitting as Cassie/Stature has her own kind of maturity... in that she's largely lacking it. (I know, I'm so hard on poor Cassie but she's 15. She can't help it.)

agoodomen This was nearly just firenhellstrom but I was asking for suggestions and someone suggested this one. It was apparently meant as a play on the movie The Omen but I took it as a play on Good Omens and so I took it. I may or may not be considering making a darksoul lj which is i_p_fire.

w1tchywoman Probably pretty self explanatory. Witchy woman as in from the song and Wanda is a witch although not a very good one. The 1 is in there because for some reason a lj witchywoman was suspended and because of that they wouldn't let me make any variation of witchywoman unless it had a 1 in it. So despite hating using numbers for letters... I did it anyway. I've considered forking over money to do a name change but meh. It works.

visserbasher My friend came up with this one! It was either that or skritchynoses (what Loren called the Skrit Na aliens at first). In Andalite Chronicles Loren threw a rock at the yeerk that would become Visser Three. Hence, visserbasher.

kawalskyeffect This one is pretty funny. I didn't know what username for Kawalsky until I was scanning over wikipedia trying to learn more about Stargate in preparation for the app and then I saw "Kawalsky effect." Apparently the appearance of minor, usually very cool characters whose sole purpose is to be killed off is called the "Kawalsky effect" as opposed to the classic Red Shirt description. And then I realized I probably should have gone with wheresmystereo but oh well. It's still funny.

...And aw hell, might as well do this for Sofia as I'll be apping her and I wish I hadn't picked her username because no one would ever get it.

ayasofia It's a play on Hagia Sophia, one of the wonders of the ancient world. I was looking it up and it said hagia was pronounced like Aya. I wanted to go with hagiasofia but that was taken. Hagia Sophia means "Holy Wisdom" and while Sofia isn't exactly holy, she is somewhat religious and she's very perceptive in social matters so you could call her wise. But I mostly picked it just because I wanted to use a play on Hagia Sophia. After two (or more?) years, I wish I'd picked some other username.
