So, I'm like this close to creating LJ accounts for some of people I mention frequently just so I can light up their names with LJ-user tags. Two of the people at the top of the list (Nibadi just caved!) are Monshu and e. Of course, "e." is not a suitable username so I checked out neska--and some Bolshie BEYATCH is already using it! What gives? I can understand owlet being taken, but who would think a Basque nickname would no longer be up for grabs? The interesting thing is that her circle of friends seems to write entirely in Russian. There's something refreshingly novel about seeing the same old LJ styles filled with Cyrillic characters--even if those exotic characters merely encode the very same survey results and my-parents-suck entries that make up 99.9% of LiveJournal.

Cyrillic peppered with "kill me" in English. Fascinating.

If you do, they might be one step closer to caving. They'll see protected entries (if you have them) and will be able to vote in your polls. The allure of the whole thing will draw them in. You really can't go wrong with this plan.

Last week's lesson is that polls are clearly the thin edge of the wedge.

YOU can understand why Owlet was taken? You???

I cannot! And I'm still bitter!

It's an awesome name! Why do you think I swiped it?

Oh, *fine*. Try to placate me with compliments ...

BTW, I friended neska. I figured it could be amusing for a little while to bone up on my Russian by translating teenybopper nonsense.

I think C. (also known as the third LHN) will cave the minute someone thinks of a name for him. Unfortunately, "laconic" is already taken. Suggestions are welcome.

What little rural hamlet is he from again? A toponymic nickname would represent an interesting change. stfrancoisan?

[mollpeartree.livejournal.com]

St. Louis, I think.

That's what I always thought, but bunj told me last weekend he's actually native to St. Francois county, which is in the lead belt some miles southwest of the St. Louis Metro Area. Coincidentally, that's also the area Nuphy's stylist queen father is from.
