(no subject)

[remindmeofthe]

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 So a tattoo inspired by one of those is not likely to become outdated and embarrassing.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.

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 But I've been writing mainly gen for a good couple of years now, so that was totally out of date, but catgen just doesn't have the same ring to it.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?

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

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.

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.
