fandomhigh_ooc | Meme: Explain to us why you do the geeky things you do

1. My username is "rocksthescarf" because Chuck's got a scarf that's his trademark. He loves to wear it. He has sex wearing it when it's chilly. He totally rocks the scarf.

2. My journal is titled "Speak of the devil and he doth appear -- wearing his trademark scarf" because it's so true. It's a quote from Gossip Girl herself.

3. My friends page is called "Friends Entries" because I AM LAME and forgot to change it.

4. My default userpic is *points* because he's Chuck Bass. Oh like you didn't see that answer coming!

5. My birthday is June 27 because that's Ed Westwick's birthday!

1. My username is swipedthatfoot because ...Claire steals a foot. Seriously. Its not that weird in context (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/six_feet_under/the_foot.php).

.. okay, weird, but very justified.

2. My journal is titled Why must you always be so negative? (Why must you always be in such deep denial?) because it's an exchange that really captures Claire. The first sentence is her mom, the second sentence is her.
3. My friends page is called life as a work of art because Claire really is pretentious enough to have said something to that effect, though the full quote is too long for a page title.
4. My default userpic is *points* (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/76594531/15999224) because she just really looks like herself there.
5. My birthday is March 13, 1983 because at the very end of the show, you find out when Claire will die (http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/obituary/episode63.shtml), and that's the birthdate they gave her for her obituary. And yes, it makes her fairly old to graduate in 2002, as she does, but that's canon for ya.

That journal name makes me so ridiculously happy.

1. My username is "yourwhiteknight" because they tell you about 800 times in the movie that Harvey is Gotham's White Knight.

2. My journal is titled "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian" because it's my favorite Harvey quote. And I realize it might be because of the way he said it because when Batman GRR ARGH's it at the end I was like "wtf? Lame."

3. My friends page is called "Friends Entries" because AGAIN, I AM LAME.

4. My default userpic is *points* because it goes with the username. And he looks hot.

5. My birthday is May 22nd because I wanted to do something with the number two so I had it as February 22nd but then yesterday I was reading The Long Halloween and this one guy said Harvey was a Gemini (which makes sense) so I changed it to May. True story.

That is one HOT icon. Oh, Harvey.

And I love the geekery over Harvey's birthday!

1. My username is likes_chicken because Hurley likes chicken. He says it more than once. He also likes that he likes chicken.
2. My journal is titled 'Lost on a Fandom Island' because it amused me, despite not being clever.
3. My friends page is called Fellow Castaways because I like keeping up the silly Lost theme.
4. My default userpic is

because it's a nice neutral expression, in a sort of 'I'm having a conversation' pose. Which is good cause I often reply via the e-mail forms while at work.
5. My birthday is currently unspecified because knowing my luck they'll end up giving him a real one next season.

1. My username is "fair_montague" because ... I failed at creativity when I was making the journal, and it's not worth the $15 to change it.
2. My journal is titled "Romeo, or emo" because ... anagrams are fun, especially when they fit that well. (The subtitle, "Not mad, but bound more than a madman is," is Romeo whining about Rosaline.)
3. My friends page is called "dreamers often lie" because ... Mercutio quotes for the win.
4. My default userpic is this one because ... Leo's the right age and not bloody, crying, cropped weirdly, making a face, or dressed stupidly. There were fewer shots fitting those qualifications than one would expect.
5. My birthday is November 11 because ... okay, this one is actually semifreaky. I decided if Juliet was a Leo (which she is) Romeo had to be a Scorpio because I had it in my head those signs weren't very compatible. I picked a date, I thought randomly, and found out it's Mr. DiCaprio's birthday anyhow.

1. My username is

first_guardian because Ichigo has several meanings. First one being "one who protect" or "first guardian angel".
2. My journal is titled "Ichigo Here We Go Go" because my player had the Moloko song Indigo in her head and kept singing "Ichigo, here we go go".
3. My friends page is called "Soul Society" because in canon it is the place where souls go to after they leave this world. It is also where the normal shinigami live.
4. My default userpic is *points up too* (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/76684258/15568317) because my player thinks it goes well with the layout.
5. My birthday is July 15 because it's canon.

Re: #1:

And another being "strawberry." BWA HA HA.

1. My username is

stocksgrrl because every other thing I wanted for Turtle was already taken or too long. 'Stocks' turned out to work well with a double meaning, though. The original intent was because she looooves her stock market, but since she got involved in the store, it seems like a nice reference to that, too. The 'grrl' instead of 'girl' was just something I thought to do to make it seem like an average teenager's username, something like what Turtle herself would have.
2. My journal is titled "The Journal of Turtle Wexler" because I am a creative flower. The subtitle "Confessions of a Teenage Millionaire" is better, and sounds like a good book title.
3. My friends page is called "Like Pieces on a Chessboard" because chess as a metaphor for the games we play in everyday life is a prominent theme in The Westing Game. And I liikes it.
4. My default userpic is *points up* because it's not only a nameplate, but that expression is so quintessentially Turtle that I feel you can take one look at it and feel like you can tell everything about her from that one glance.
5. My birthday is March 24th because that's my mun's birthday, too, aka the best birthday ever.

multi_madrox will agree, I'm sure.

Best Birthdate EVAH.

Plus it happens to be Alyson Hannigan's birthday which makes it oh-so special.

1) My username is

decoder_rings because it's one of my favorite quotes from the movie!

HANNIBAL: So, can we just go right ahead and sign you up for one of our secret Nightstalker decoder rings? ?

2) My journal is titled "I'm sorry, I, uh... I ate a lot of sugar today" because it's...another quote.

HANNIBAL: [after watching Blade casually kill a familiar] You know, at some point, you, uh, you might wanna consider sitting down with somebody. You know, have a little share time? Kick back. Get in touch with your inner child, that sorta thing. Also, just a thought, but you might wanna consider blinking once in a while.
[Blade stops and slowly turns to look at Hannibal]
HANNIBAL: I'm sorry, I, uh... I ate a lot of sugar today.

3) My friends page is called "Don't you know that fur is murder?" because...I like quotes from the movie.

HANNIBAL: Don't you know that fur is murder?

4) My default userpic is this one because I tend to like defaults that aren't overly showy, simple and mostly without any sort of emotive expression.

5) My birthday is January 4 because I totally picked a day at random!

1. My username is "baskiceball" because I was having a braindead moment when I created the journal and this was the first thing I came up with. It's so hard to type sometimes because it should be iceketball. It sounds so much better, Eriksen family!

2. My journal is titled "Don't you think we should brush our teeth first?" because I don't know. I just liked it. He's saying it to Barney before they go out and plot against the guy across the street.

3. My friends page is called "Friends" because LAME. I will change these all today! It is my goal!

4. My default userpic is *points* because he looks so happy! How could you not be happy looking at that icon?

5. My birthday is January 18th because that is Jason Segel's birthday.

1. My username is "blinkandsneeze" because Viki is in possession of the blinking rune, which allows her to teleport, and because when she sneezes she involuntarily teleports.

2. My journal is titled "Ready... Set... Go!" because those are the names of her rune-based attacks in the series.

3. My friends page is called "Friends" because I am too lazy to change it!

4. My default userpic is *points* because it's just a very good, basic smile.

5. My birthday is September 31 because it doesn't exist.

Edited 2008-09-02 16:11 (UTC)

1. My username is "mparkerceo" because I was stuck for a name when I first apped (a lot of the ones you'd associate with Miss Parker were taken) and just grabbed "mparker16". Happily changed to "mparker17" when she turned 17 a few months later... but then realized I was going to have to do this every year she got older, I solicited some suggestions, and Kry came up with mparkerceo when she turned 18, which is what she aspires to be.

2. My journal is titled "Kiss the Boys and Make 'Em Cry" because that's pretty much Parker all over. "Intimidation and invitation" is how one of her ex-boyfriends characterized her on the show. The subtitle of "Parker Cheats At Life" I put in at the beginning when she was scheming and more manipulative, but it still applies for a lot of her activities.

3. My friends page is called Fellow Prisoners because Parker *really* didn't want to be at Fandom when she first showed up.

4. My default userpic is "sneaky" because it's nicely mood-neutral and yet accurate. If I forget to pick a specific icon, it works.

5. My birthday is January 5 because it's canon (except for how it's 2 days off of real canon-- I checked the wrong info, and didn't view the ep where they gave it on the show, but it stuck and it's not a huge deal.)

1. My username is "armybrat_lois" because her name is Lois. And she's an army brat. Not so much with the creativity there.

2. My journal is titled "I try not to listen. I find it distracting." because it's my favorite quote of hers and it pretty much encompasses who she is.

3. My friends page is called ____ because ______. I'M NOT ANSWERING TO MY OWN LAMENESS ANYMORE.

4. My default userpic is *points* because I really like the dorky expression on her face.

5. My birthday is June 21st because that be Erica Durance's birthday.

1) My username is

stupid_toasters because, while this Lee is precanon, he'll grow up to be an emo, whiny, pouty little bastard who hates Cylons. Cylons are typically called toasters. Thus, username. Having stupid in the username of this Lee Adama was just a stroke of luck.

2) My journal is titled "On Loan from Caprica" because that's where he's from but he's not there anymore but it's his home. So, he's on loan.

3) My friends page is called "They Just Wanna See My Arms!" because it amused me and ALL OF YOU DO. Ahem. Well, not all of you, of course. But I love the attention paid to his arms so I had to include it.

4) My default userpic is this one because, again, I like defaults that aren't overly showy, very simple and lacking a hugely emotive expression.

5) My birthday is December 29 because I picked another day at random.

1) My username is

just_add_starch because Fraser has been proven to be an upright, tightass and if you just keep adding starch, he'll keep getting upright. Also, he starches his boxes.

2) My journal is called "A Canadian Transplant" because he is! He's from Canada and now he lives in Virginia. He's not on loan, he's a transplant!

3) My friends page is called "They Can't All Be Canucks" because Fraser loves everyone despite their lack of Canadian credentials

4) My default userpic is this one because, again, simple, not emotive defaults are my favorite.

5) My birthday is April 30 because it's Paul Gross's birthday!

1. My username is "shyest-eyes" because Hinata is, really, the shyest shy girl ever, and because I wanted something that went with her eyes as they're a rather important part of her bloodline.

2. My journal is titled "Learning to fly..." because her family has this... thing... with birds and comparing situations to bird cages, and Hinata is, the way they see it, still just well, learning to fly.

3. My friends page is called "Friends" because I am too lazy to change it!

4. My default userpic is *points* because it's adorable. You can't tell me that's not adorable! XD

5. My birthday is December 27 because it's canon.

1. My username is

light_a_spark because in order for Roy to do his flame alchemy, he needs to have fire already present. He can't create fire himself so he wears special spark cloth gloves that allow him to "light a spark" when he snaps his fingers.
2. My journal is titled "Whatever you do, remember the pain" because it's a quote from the first time Edward Elric actually sees Roy Mustang. A imprisoned terrorist tries to attack and Roy uses his alchemy to stop the man the man and tells him "You can call me Roy Mustang, or just Lieutenant Colonel. Hell, you can call me the Flame Alchemist. Whatever you do, remember the pain." The subtitle is "But still, even my life detestable as it is will have some use" which is another quote. It's from when Roy hits rock bottom and pretty much suicidal, but he crawls out of it with the determination to change his country.
3. My friends page is called "Friends" because I was uninspired.
4. My default userpic is *points up again* (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/66069929/11909986) because it's graceful and pretty... And goes with the layout.
5. My birthday is February 1 because I kept refusing to pick one as it's canon for Roy to always be 29. Then I realised he was almost around for a year so, he had to have had his bday. So I picked a close date when I would be around...

Edited 2008-09-02 17:41 (UTC)

1) My username is

sixstandingby because Gavin flies in Rogue Six at one point and, most of us should know, that, when going into battle, they all count out with "Rogue six, standing by." Hence, username.

2) My journal is called "Not Just a Farmboy" because Gavin comes from Tatooine where he lived on his family's moisture farm but he went on to do big, big things with the military.

3) My friends page is called "Not Rogue Squadron" because...ya'll are not!

4) My default userpic is this one because he's...simple and not emotive.

5) My birthday is May 10 because I picked a day at random.

My friends page is called "Not Rogue Squadron" because...ya'll are not!

AM TOO. (Technically.)

1. My username is "notahostage" because in the first episode/comic Wendy has a speech near the end about how the Joker calls Robin "the Boy Hostage" with the implication that's really not how she wants to end up. And she doesn't.
2. My journal is titled "The Higher Education Training Exercise Experience" because all of The Middleman's episodes and comics have titles like that.
3. My friends page is called "Flist Crawl!" because it's a reference to Art Crawl!, an amateur art festival Wendy helps run with all the other illegal sub-letters in her building.
4. My default userpic is this because it's just a really pretty shot of her, even if it does make her look a lot angstier than she really is.
5. My birthday is as yet unchosen because I'm slack and nothing's really leapt out at me either in canon or meta.

ART CRAWL! :D

1. My username is "flowering-mind" because Ino likes flowers, and her family techniques deal with the mind. And, also, I was fond of the double meaning to it of her learning and 'flowering' as it were. Yes, I'm that lame. Shhh.

2. My journal is titled "Yamanaka Ino" because I was severely lazy when setting up her journal and haven't gotten around to changing it yet.

3. My friends page is called "Friends" because I am too lazy to change it!

4. My default userpic is *points* because it's her, and she's smiling, but she's also kinda impudent and impish and I just love it.

5. My birthday is September 23 because it's canon! Mmm, canon.

1) Barney's username is

suit_of_awesome because he is awesome, omg, and he wears suits and

legend_dary is his daughter. HEE.

2) Barney's journal is titled 'Barney Stinson' because of his journal layout, woe. BUT, on his journal's main page, the link to his profile is 'awesome,' the link to his flist is 'wait for it,' the link to his calendar is 'legendary,' and the link to his journal is 'suit up.' So there.

3) Barney's friend's page is called 'Legen-wait for it-dary' because I'm a loser and can't stop with the one gag.

4) Barney's default userpic is

because I love that he has a life size storm trooper in his living room. That? That's just Awesome!

5) Barney's birthday is June 15th because it's NPH's birthday and should be celebrated.

1) My username is

death_and_pies because that's what Ned brings to the table. He can bring you back from death, bring death to you and he can bake you some pies!

2) My journal is called "He's Lord of the Pies" because it's a quote! And he is.

CHUCK: He's Lord of the Pies.

3) My friends page is called "I hate to be a bad host, but I'm sort of exhausted from chasing your coffin" because it's another quote from the show!

NED: "I hate to be a bad host, but I’m sort of exhausted from chasing your coffin."

4) My default userpic is this one because, again, it's simple but Ned so often looks sad that I couldn't resist giving him a happy icon to see all the time.

5) My birthday is February 11 because I like to pick days at random.

Edited 2008-09-02 16:27 (UTC)

1) Toby's username is

always_damp because everyone in S1 of Dante's Cove is like coated in oil or something. So he always looks damp or has wet hair or something.

2) Toby's journal is titled 'Dying to Be With You' because that is the theme song of Dante's Cove DYYYYYYING DYING TO BE WITH YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!

3) Toby's friend's page is called 'The Best is Yet to Come' because it's another thing for the show and it's diiiirty.

4) Toby's default userpic is this one because he's adorable and shirtless as always and I love the look on his face.

5) Toby has no birthday because I fail. He does love throwing birthday parties, though. I should work on this.

Edited 2008-09-02 16:27 (UTC)

1. My username is saltandammo because that's what you need when you hunt ghosts. Which Dean does with great glee.
2. My journal is titled Dean Winchester's journal because it is.
3. My friends page is called friends list because I'm lame.
4. My default userpic is

because it's a cool (but pretty) picture.
5. My birthday is January 24th because that's when canon said Dean was born.

1. My username is

unddann because canon has several moments in which Lola runs into someone and we are shown a possible future for them, prefaced by "und dann", which means "and then". And because I'm a dork and didn't think of something to do with 20 minutes before I sat down to make a screen name.
2. My journal is titled "Ein mehr zwanzig Minuten" because it translates into "One more 20 minutes" (probably with horrible grammar, but what can you do), and Lola's canon is ruled by the concept of 20 minutes. The same 20 minutes, to be exact. Over and over again.
3. My friends page is called "Allen andere" because it translates to "all others" and just calling it "Freunden" was too uncreative. Not that "all others" is terribly creative, but it's slightly more so than just the German word for "friends". . . .
4. My default userpic is

because it's a fairly neutral expression, and I love her hair in that.
5. My birthday is still unlisted because I haven't gotten around to randomly picking a date for her, yet.

Edited 2008-09-02 16:34 (UTC)

1. My username is crazypilotman because Murdock's crazy and a pilot. The 'man' came in because other variations of 'pilot' and 'crazy' were taken.

2. My journal is titled 'Who you callin' crazy?' because... I felt like it. And the phrase "When the going gets tough, the tough get aeronautical." is a nice Murdock quote.

3. My friends page is called friends because I never bothered to change it.

4. My default userpic is *that* because it's one of the few I still have left from when he was a guest character only and I just left it there. lol.

5. My birthday is November 24, 1947 because it happens to be Dwight Schultz's birthday and it works well canonically for the timeframe.
