1. My username is ____ because ____.
Kenjari. It's made up. Long ago, Other Kenjari had a long-running D&D campaign. Kenjari was the name one of the countries in his gameworld. The Japanese-influenced, theocratic, ass-kicking, island nation. When I was picking out a LJ username, it seemed like a good one. It's relatively easy to pronounce and spell, yet it's distinctive, and evocative without being a direct reference to most people. I think it suits me and my journal fairly well.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
When comes the wind that blows our words' sails?
This is a line from the song "Boreas", by Einsturzende Neubauten. I had bought their CD Perpetuum Mobile shortly after I began my LJ, and was listening to it almost nonstop. "Boreas" is one of the most beautiful things Einsturzende has ever produced. And the lyrics, which are about journeying in either the Arctic or Antactic, are gorgeous. I thought this line an appropriate journal title.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
I don't have a subtitle.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
gletschergenossen. I discovered this word in "Boreas", the same place I got my title. It means "glacier companions", which I thought a good title for my friends page. I liked the German better than the English.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
It's me, in one of mine and Other Kenjari's wedding pictures. Our photographer was amazing, and the pictures came out beautifully. In case the picture doesn't make it clear, we had a medieval-dress wedding.
