It's been ages since I did this meme. And since reallycorking and pennswoods have done it, I need to do it again. Because I'm a fad-lover.

1. My username is _____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

1. My username is bennmorland because my name is Benn, and when I made my Hotmail account in 1998, I was reading a book series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles called the Morland Dynasty (shocolate is also a fan of the series, and actually made a family tree/spiral/AWESOME of the entire Morland dynasty). The series follows a family from its Yorkshire origins in 1415 until the present day. At least, this is the plan. Ms. Harrod-Eagles is still writing them after nearly thirty years. They're wonderful, truly wonderful.

2. & 3. My journal is titled "Call it what you will" and subtitled "Call it a cocoon crash" because K's Choice's "Cocoon Crash", from which both are taken, speaks to me on far too deep a level.

4. My friends page is called "TEH FRENDz IZ HRE!" because I haven't changed it since I called it that in a silly pique almost two years ago.

5. My default userpic is
because I came up with it, youslipthrough made it for me, and I find it amusing. It's also a sharp critique of the truly nonsensical nature of ship wars. Yeah, right; I'm just odd.

Cocoon Crash
Gert Bettens (b. 1970/03/19 in Merksem, Antwerp, Belgium)
K’s Choice / Cocoon Crash (1998)

Verse:
Every single night in bed
A black cross says: “Perhaps you’re getting better.
I’d like to thank you for your efforts
To promote what really matters.
Whenever you’re about to fall,
Remember this: it’s not a news flash.
Don’t pretend to know it all, but go ahead,
Call it a cocoon crash.

Chorus:
“What I really see in you
Is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now.
What you would really love to win,
To become the air as well as trash,
Is to get rid of all your skin.
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash.
Call it what you will, call it what you will.
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash.”

Bridge:
Suddenly the ego that I used to have is no bigger than an eyelash.
Clearly, I remember, someone told me: “Hold on tight, here’s your cocoon crash.”

(Chorus)
