Meme Borrowed from Common Reader

1. My username is ______ because ______.

"Malkhos" because my husband picked it. I joined this whole LJ thing long after he did but chose not to start my own journal. I'm too inconsistent. Oddly, some nutty nut former friend found this offensive even after we'd unfriended her. People are weird.

2. My name is _____ because ______.

My name is Rita because all Catholic mothers used to name their children after saints. St. Rita of Cascia (Italy) is my namesake; she is the female counterpart of St. Jude, and therefore the patron saint of hopeless or impossible cases. Appeal to me, O those in need of miracles! ;) Is that blasphemy?

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

"Hymn to Apollo" because it's the one my non-Catholic, pagan husband picked. Whatever reasons exist for it, he might have told me but I've forgotten.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

I really didn't know you could name a Friends page.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

"Hygeia" because 1) it's by Gustav Klimt, my favorite 20th century artist; 2) it is a detail from a much larger work called "Medicine"--Hygeia (health) is the central feature of the picture, and who wouldn't want that with respect to the mind and soul?

1. My username is ______ because ______.

Malkhos, that was the given name of Porphyry Neoplatonicus.

2. My name is _____ because ______.

Malkhos, because I am the reincarnation of Porphyry (I hope no one would think that I would consider the name given by my parents 'real').

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

Hymn to Apollo, because it was only the Grace of Apollo that saved our family once upon a time.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

I was unaware that friends' pages could be named.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

Siegfried when he first spots Fafner, with which I was very well pleased since it was the first screen capture I ever made. More often I use Dr. Praetorius from The Bride of Frankenstein which suits me much better.
