About the titles on my LJ...

[fajrdrako]

From xinef and kikibug13:

1. My username is _____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

**please commandeer for use in your own journal, and let me know if you do so**


1. My username is fajrdrako. It means "fire dragon" in Esperanto - pronounced "fire dracko". I chose it because I was born in the Year of the Dragon, and I like dragons, and I like the image of a fire dragon - colourful and active - and I love Esperanto; it's one of my favourite languages.

2. My journal is titled "World enough and time". Because I like the quote. Because it's meant to imply that there are no conceptual limits. Because it's meant to be a thematic link to my web page 'World of Wonders', which is somewhat defunct now - why keep up a personal website when you have a perfectly functioning LJ?

3. My subtitle is 'exquisite infinity ' because I wanted to imply that my interests and scope were unlimited, and positive - again, trying to encapsulate that "World of Wonders" concept but maybe, this time, not limiting it to a world.

I also think of the text on my banner as something of a subtitle: "You've gotta be ready". This is of course a quote from Torchwood, but I like its Girl Guide implication of "be prepared" and it's serendipitous implication of "anything might happen".

4. My friends page is called 'the force of uncountable thought', based on the notion that my friends and acquaintances here are likely to be a diverse and eclectic bunch. Again, that infinity notion - with a touch of chaos and open-endedness.

5. My default userpic is a picture of John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who and Torchwood, chosen purely for its aesthetic value and fannishness. If you need to wonder more than that, it's clear you haven't been reading my LJ over the past year, with its happily shameless Captain Jack obsession.

But yes, by fantasizing Guy's villainy they ironically made me all the more sympathetic to (and defensive of!) the original Guy.

Ditto. And you must know that's painful for a long-term Conrad-groupie to admit!

Cute budgie moment this morning as I was putting seed into their dishes before going to work: Peter was so busy eating he didn't want to stop for me to refill his dish. I had to (so to speak) wrestle it away from him. I can do that, I'm bigger than he is. He looked happy to get the full dish of fresh seed back, though.

Aw! Yes! As we agreed the other day, the only time budgies are silent is when they are beak-down in seed, or curled up in a fluff-ball, sleeping!

Yes. But I think we both realize that doing honour and justice to one's enemies is part of seeing the truth as much as any other matter of judgement. It doesn't do justice to Conrad to malign his enemies any more than it does to malign his friends.

Indeed! I don't like to see even them being given the treatment he has had.
