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?

mine's pretty boring too... when I went to buy my first pc, they were going to load AOL on for me and I had only a few seconds to come up with a screenname... my first and middle name is Teresa Lynn so Terilyn was all I could come up with..... pathetic much? lol

I thought "Terilyn" must be your first name; it's surprising to learn it's not! Anyway, I think it's rather pretty.

I'm glad you like it even tho it isn't original... I forgot to say I used to love the Greek and Roman mythology and the Persephone story was one of my favs. I did briefly consider changing my screenname to Aphrodite but didn't cause I knew I couldn't live up to the name :( lol

What would be interesting is if it wasn't you.

Greek and Roman myth is fun because it can be applied to anything. And won't seem out of place.
