Where'd you get your user name?

[lettered]

I woke up today and thought it was the 23rd. Yes, I was excited about Mole Day. I was prepared to celebrate celebrate things like Avogadro and stoichiometry. Now all I have to be happy about is avocados and Elvis Stojko.

Today I enjoyed this post (scroll to the end), in which yhlee lists reasons why she loves BtVS/AtS characters. One of them is, "Why I love Angelus: it may never occur to him that in all the ways he destroys people it shows how strong they really are." Go read and miss your shows. *sniff*

Lastly, stultiloquentia and I recently discovered that we'd spoken online four years before under different names. That made me wish I hadn't changed my nickname things so much out of sheer boredom. The user name tkp is from the Kora Personality, which wouldn't fit on lj. Kora is another name for Persephone. I was having some twisted, uninteresting thoughts about the woman who spent half her time being queen of the dead and raped by the damned, and the other half frolicking in the flowers with Mama and nymphs. Anyway, I'm guessing this has been a topic of conversation before, so sorry if you've been over it before, but I've been wondering:

Where'd you get your user name?

Even if it seems obvious, I'd love to know. Also: why Joan?

Well you can take comfort in the fact that Anne Rice won't be writing any more vampire novels.
She's found religion and from now on will be writing a biblical series based around Jesus' childhood.

Wow. That's . . . interesting.

But never fear, Elton John is writing a Broadway musical about Lestat.

And I thought it was all over and done with.

I'm not sure what's scarier/funnier... that Elton John is writing it (might it be musically reminiscent of The Lion King?) or the thought that the local vampire community might give up Cradle of Filth for showtunes.

I saw that and passed coffee through my nose. I'm no christian, but I don't think Jesus deserves that kind of treatment;)

I thought it was a hoax at first ;)

The article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9785289/site/newsweek/) makes it sound unbelievably cringeworthy.

Elton John. Anne Rice. :::shudders:::

If I needed proof that we're living in the "starts with A, rhymes with pocalypse" here it 'tis. Eeek!!

Actually, I'm rather looking forward to it.

And I'm also looking forward to Rice's Jesus books.

Yes, I scare myself too.
