sebastienneas a break from who-squee and conspiracy theories, here's
A meme:
1. My username is _____ because ____.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sebastienne - for a large number of fluid reasons that change depending upon the facet of myself I most wish to convey.
- French lessons withthreadbarewolf
- Brian Slade seeming to sing "Somebody Called Me Sebastienne" in Velvet Goldmine
- St Sebastian is a ridiculously homoerotic saint - why not have a lesbian version?
- Oscar Wilde, in hiding in France, used the code-name "Sebastian Melmoth" (connected to the previous point, I wonder?)
- But never Sebastian Flyte, although many have erroneously assumed it.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
It's never lupus. Because it never is. Just ask Dr House.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
Oxford, why are your libraries full of tears? Because I'm a pretentious tit at heart, with a rather large amount of Ginsberg-love, and the quotation from America says so much in such little space.. the insertion of "Oxford" for "America" seemed apposite, both because of my own impending librarianship and because of what I have seen Oxford do to some of my best friends. Much like a beat poet looking at America, I see the Oxonian dream and how great it could be; and yet I must reconcile that again and again with how much harm it can do.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
It's never lupus. Because it still never is.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
Amanda Palmer looking through a rose bush, because there's something about the colour & composition of it that makes it strike me as one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in 100x100.
