(no subject)

I've been meaning for some time now to come up with a new username here; catslash didn't fit any more, but I wasn't sure how to find one that didn't reflect a fandom, because I am really bad at usernames. I didn't want a fandom SN because I didn't want to end up wanting to change it again six months later.

Until finally, finally it occurred to me that - okay, I have this thing where if I ever get a tattoo (not likely, I am a wuss), I want it to be of something from Buffy or Labyrinth, since they have both been in my life for so long that they've impacted who I am and how I see the world. So a tattoo inspired by one of those is not likely to become outdated and embarrassing.

Well, DUH, same thing applies to LJ usernames. So: catslash is done, good run and time to retire with dignity, and

remindmeofthe is the handle that will still be relevant if LJ should last another ten years.

And now that's that finally fucking over with. YAY.

Who are you, again?

:P

That's cute coming from the one who's gone through like six usernames since I've known you. ;)

Hey! More like four.

OH SORRY MY BAD. *g*

...hi! Watch me totally forget who you are a million times now!

*still loves you though*

Not gonna lie, I had to use the Notes feature for you for a while to remember which account was you. XD I just took the note off like this week, mainly because I'm lazy.

<333 oh you.

I don't even know how the Notes feature works. XD I bull through on memory.

HI YOU!

HI ASHIE!

I like it!

Thanks!

I'm glad you made a post about this; I was thinking "Who's the new person on my FL? What's going on?" Because I am a flibbertegibbet.

Was your former username supposed to be "cat's lash" or "cat slash"? I never ever got a chance to ask before and now's as good a time as any...

Hee. I go through that every time someone on my flist changes their username. I've got several notes on people reminding me of who they are.

It was "Cat slash," because my name is Cathryn and I used to write almost exclusively slash. But I've been writing mainly gen for a good couple of years now, so that was totally out of date, but catgen just doesn't have the same ring to it. *g*

yeah that just makes me think "cat generator"

like

you are a machine that produces cats?

XD

while we're on the subject I had better ask before I invent my own: remind you of the what?

The babe.

OH RIGHT.

Thank you someone else for asking XD I was like "I know that movie backwards and forwards, why am I not getting this??" ... and now I feel really dumb because I SO should have gotten that :B

Congrats on the new name <3 Anything Labyrinth-related gets my good vote.

Hee, thank you. I can't believe it took me so long to think of doing a Labyrinth one! It's so obvious.

It was "Cat slash," because my name is Cathryn and I used to write almost exclusively slash.

Ahh, that is what I figured, but I didn't want to make any assumptions. I can't remember who it was right now but I had totally misconstrued someone's username for years till recently and it was one of those epic facepalm moments when I finally got it.

but catgen just doesn't have the same ring to it. *g*

LOL, yes. Too close to "catgut".

Heeeee. You're still doing better than the occasional person who assumed (not unfairly, I have to admit) that my username was expressing a preference for gay feline pornography.

dance the magic pants!

:: cracks up at that icon ::

HAHAH! I got the address and response to my Give-a-Way offer before I saw this, so I actually had NO IDEA who you were or how you'd come to see the post. :)

HA. I thought your reply seemed a little on the stiffly polite side, but I wasn't sure. I guess I better get used to that for the next few days. XD

Very likely. I can barely remember the names of people I know in real life and there's a couple of people whose LJ names I regularly confuse anyway. This will take you of the "cat group." Stackcats, Alexcat, and Rosecat.

Yay. I didn't know until I read it on my flist.

When I get some time I'm going to be commenting on your Gossip Girl post. This is also to remind myself to do that, yes.
