Lots of randomness for one post:)

First, a very happy birthday to inanna1130 for today & an early happy birthday to agathon89. I hope you both have wonderful days:)


Also, I simply must rec two things today:

First, if you still haven't joined, please go check out whedonland. It's such a fantastic community full of incredible people and we just have so much fun. (And if you want to have the MOST fun possible, you'll ask to be on Team Firefly...'cause we're awesome :D)




Now, I must rec a truly fantastic cross-over fic by karate0kat. This is a BSG/Firefly fic of absolute brilliance and I guarantee you will LOVE it!!! Here's the masterlist for the chapter links:

Through the Looking Glass

It's a longer fic (19 chapters) but so worth the time, I promise!


And finally:

Snagged from nothnbutherain


1. My username is ______ because ______.

mfirefly10. I came up with the username for my email address a couple of years ago, when I first fell in love with Joss Whedon’s Firefly. But I wanted something more complex than ‘firefly’ so I tried a bunch of different combinations, ultimately deciding to use the first letter of my first name and the number 10...just because I thought it looked cool:)

2. My name is _____ because ______.

- Megan. My mom heard the name in some old Paul Newman movie and just really liked it. My dad wanted to name me ‘Jennifer’...which does not suit me at all, so it’s a good thing my mom won that battle:) If I’d been a boy, as the doctor told my parents I would be, I would’ve been named ‘David Michael’ after my dad. Really odd since my cousin’s name is ‘Michael David’.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

- ‘Insert witty cookie-dough metaphor’ because that speech from the BTVS finale describes me, at this point in my life, perfectly.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

- Friends. Original, right?!

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

- Willow/Tara ‘Kinda Gay’. I love them together and the phrase actually fits me very well.

Thanks for that rec. Looks interesting so I'll give it a try.

...and I'm snagging that meme :)
It's really interesting to see how people chose their handles.
It should have one more thing - like do you have other usenames. Lot's of people do and it can be really confusing. (I actually have a little list...lol)

As I mentioned on your post, I have the same username for every site so if anyone's ever looking for me, I'll be listed under that handle...or else I'm just not on that site:)

It's SUCH a good fic. I don't usually read cross-overs because a lot of them are just kind of silly but this one was really, really good!
