sorcyress | Lawl, memes! (Reply)

1. My username is ____ because ____.
kdsorceress / sorceress was taken. And this was before I had come up with the misspelling "sorcyress". Eventually, I may go and get a rename token and turn into Sorcyress properly. (I already own the journal)

2. My name is _____ because ______.
Kat, most of the time anyway / I thought it was clever back in early 2004 when I made my journal look all shiny, and I have never bothered to change it. Ever.

Honestly, I'm not sure I would. About the only other thing I'd be likely to put in there is Sor Cyress, and I don't feel like it.

3. My journal is titled _______ because ______.
A Most Unusual Teenager's Perspective on the World at Large / This is actually not what it should be, the title probably should now be "A Most Unusual College Student's Perspective on the World at Large'. Again, the title has been the same for most of the last four years. I really do think I'm fairly unusual for a teenager, and that hasn't really changed much.

3a. My journal is subtitled _____ because _______.
A Ray of Sunshine on a Stormy Night / I am a terminal optimist, and I thought it sounded cute. I may have to go change it now as I realize just how totally painfully cheery it is. *shrugs*

4. My friends page is called _____ because ______.
Kat's Crazy's / hey! Hey, hey, hey, that's *gramatically* wrong in addition to being woefully out of date. Fuck, I should go fix that so it is the proper "Kat's Crazies".

When I made the journal, I was still affectionately calling my friends my crazies. Considering that I now generally just use "children", I'm thinking I might not actually want to change that one...

5. My default userpic is ____ because ______.
My Bawston Skullx icon / Skullx made it for me, totally without prompting, and I went squee! I like having a default that no one else has, it makes it easy for me to spy my comments in other people's posts.

A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks
Creek, generally. We don't really have many of them up here in the city.

The thing you push around the grocery store
Shopping cart. Plausibly a grocery cart. Certainly not any sort of trolly.

A metal container to carry a meal in
Lunchbox. Maybe lunchtin, if it's actually metal. The soft squishy ones are definitely lunchboxes though.

The thing that you cook ~~bacon~~ and eggs in
Frying pan. Bacon is striked out because I am not a bacon person, nope, and therefore would never be cooking it. Also, apparently cast iron frying pans can't be washed with soap or something.

The piece of furniture that seats three people
Couch. I know what a sofa is, I just think it's silly that people call it by the wrong name like that.

The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof
Gutters? Yeah, gutters.

The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening
If it's covered, it's a porch. If it's not covered, it's probably a patio.

Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages
'Pop' is a father or possibly a grandfather. Coke is my mom's favourite brand of said carbonated sweetened non-alcoholic beverages. The collective name? Soda. (S+(Dough-D), Duh)

A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup
Pancakes. Although, I suppose you could put syrup in crepes...

A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself
Delicious subs.

The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach
...I think I use the word trunks, but I don't actually have a specific word for this. It's just a swimsuit.

Shoes worn for sports
Sneakers. They are for sneaking!

A flying insect that glows in the dark
Firebug, but that's not a regional thing, that's a 'Kat is a hurfdurf' thing. I use lightning bug and firefly interchangeably when I'm not combining them like that.

The little insect that curls up into a ball
Bugs. They're all bugs. Possibly pillbugs --I don't think it's been relevant since middle school.

The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down
See-saw!

How you eat pizza
...Hold, right side up, eat the pizza from the tip to the crust in a mostly straight line, generally, when I get to the crust I turn it sideways and eat it from one end to the other rather than horizontally. If there is grease to dip the crust in (or whatever it is some restaurants give you), I will generally dip part of the crust in, if not, I'll just eat it dry.

Where private citizens sell their household goods/stuff in their driveway/front yard
Garage sale or yard sale. I've yet to ever see either of those for sale at them. I did find an incredibly bitchin' clear chair at one for five bucks, and I found my heels at a different one. Damnit, I need new heels. *sad*

The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are
The basement!

The thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places
Water fountain. And, as I'm not from DC, it's pronounced 'Wa-tur'.

I will leave the rest of the memes in my mememe file for later.
