Your LJ is the best. It's one of the only ones I read all the comments, too.
Anyway.
-What's the deal with CC's mole? Hmm, hadn't noticed it in her case. BUT it always annoyed me in X-Files, because GA has a mole above her lip and they specifically covered it because (so the story goes) Chris Carter thought it was "too big for her face." Or maybe her face was too small. Whatever. And then... oh, hey:
Anderson: What do you know about me that I don't know about myself? It can be a negative thing. I'm a grown-up. Duchovny: You should not cover up your mole. You should have refused to do it in the beginning, and you should refuse now. It's a Chris Carter thing. I know it's not vanity for you. He deemed your face not big enough for the mole. And so for seven years, you've put makeup on this mole. It looks like you have a boogie. For both Scully and Gillian, the mole is fine. Oh -- and it's a beauty mark. Don't call it a mole. (from an interview in USA Weekend they did of each other)
We've talked about the name thing, before (which is probably why you were thinking of it). Since I *don't* use my real name on LJ, it makes me feel intimate and cuddly when someone uses it (or alludes to it) because it's proof that this person knows me enough to have contact outside LJ. Even if it's just through the mail. Since my recent lj-name change, too, my identity has been a little confusing and I still think of myself a little as the other one. And I've never put too much stock in names, so I'd answer to whatever. Though I made a conscious decision to strike the "ten" from my real name several years ago, because I was tired of how it sounded.
I don't like Angel's name. I feel like it is too much of a constructed device, imposed by the creators, and less a decision any of the characters involved would have made. For instance, I can think of several men who are more "angelic" looking than DB. Unless we mean something different by that word. It seems to me that Joss really wanted this "Angel" to be Buffy's fallen champion; the implications were too yummy to pass up and it was irrelevant to the casting/character.
Oh, and I do feel a little weird when someone uses my name in real life--but mostly when my husband does it. Is that extra weird? Maybe because it's pretty much a given that if one of us is talking, we're talking to the other one.
When you were in the fourth grade, shirts were made way too big, right? Well maybe you missed the worst of it, but shirts I got in the fourth grade would be too big for me now.
