jedibuttercupI've been tagged by izhilzha for "What's in a Name". Specifically, my LJ user name.
There's not a lot of a story to it, and some of you may have heard it before...
*clearing throat*A long long time ago About ten years ago, in a galaxy at a university far far away about an hour from here, I was introduced to the Wonders of High Speed Internet via the computer lab's T-1 connection. I was informed that free email accounts did indeed exist, though at the time the available message space was pretty small, so I signed onto Yahoo! and was then presented with a puzzler: what to call myself?
As I was not quite eighteen, and as much a sci-fi/fantasy geek then as I am today, I ended up choosing an element from a favorite movie in each genre and smushing them together. I'd probably choose differently today, but at the time I went with the classics: "Star Wars" and "The Princess Bride". Voila: Jedi Buttercup.
*takes a bow*
Anyone else not been tagged for this yet? Feel free to run with it; I'd be interested to read your answers.
