resonantTonight I've been poking around all y'all's info pages looking at your journal titles and subtitles. These were some of my favorites.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cedarlibrarian -- Saving the world daily through information/I tell some lies, and of the truth all I think you need to know. She calls her friends list Patrons.
cluegirl -- The SoulGarden/No scrumpting ot whinging. (Yes, "ot." I feel sure there's a story behind that.)
dementordelta -- The Serpent Beguiled Me
destina -- Concordia Discors: in contrary motion.
duckpuppy -- like an amnesiac squirrel/burying the same nut over and over again. She calls her friends list "It's all about you, babe."
galilei -- (Mistakes Made By Scientists)
helvirago -- For this is Hel's livejournal/Nor am I out of it
sabine101 -- overlook my supposed crimes
shrift -- her hands don't go to the moon
sloanesomething -- had to rate it R cus it gets more u know/Gimping Towards the Biblical City of Your Choice. Her friends list is called About a new Transfer student that came from dumstung, She has a very evil PAST
somniesperus -- There there. /softly open our mouths in the cold
soulcake -- ... said a person not in the story.
thete1 -- Rage/Confusion/The Original Sin is to limit the Is.
I'd really like to hear the story behind people's titles. I'll start.
My friends page is called The Mermaids Singing. The line from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" that goes "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each" tends to come to mind any time a group of People Who Understand Something are talking out of the hearing of People Who Don't Get It. So here we are all talking each to each.
My journal is called Res ipsa loquitur. It means "The thing speaks for itself."darthfox suggested it as a good companion to my website title, which is "In medias res."
I changed my subtitle today. I might change it again tomorrow. At the moment it says, Let's extend the exciting planning phase indefinitely!
Now you. Go post it in your journal:
My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
And, just for the hell of it: My username is ____ because _____.

Date: 3/23/04 09:11 pm (UTC)i was trying to decide whether to put my journal title icon (which is a wilde quote btw that just struck me as way too true the older i get and the younger my students seem to become :-) or my eliot icon...
b/c i love prufrock!!! and aren't the singing mermaids a donne reference as well?... [went and googled...yes, it's from Song (http://www.usask.ca/english/prufrock/donne1.htm)] plus, i always have to think of that very neat ts/xf xover by that name with some great voyeurism (remember, my kink :-)
