I LOVE GETTING TO KNOW YOU BITCHES. UGH. LOVE.
1. My username is ______ because ______.
standing_fic: my first and only personal lj was
standing, established in 2001, and it was a word i picked because i am all about having strength, keep on keepin on, etc. i started this as a place for my writing, but have since decided i am not interested in keeping a strictly personal journal, and have turned this into a fandom lj! WOO. 4 years too late :(
2. My name is _____ because ______.
Michelle! i don't know! maybe because my dad's name is michael, maybe because my parents loved the beatles, maybe because they couldn't think of anything else. but i love it. i love my middle name more -- i go by michelle marie a lot. my twitter is @mmarieritter, email mmarieritter at gmail, etc. I LOVE MY NAME.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
"As you read the words I wrote, I couldn't speak." this is a line from a hanson song; i love them to death and infinity, but i love this line more than anything because it is emotional and beautiful and i'm a writer and when people read my stuff it makes my throat constrict. hence, I AM VERY MOVED BY THIS LYRIC.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
"I can tell that we are gonna be friends." this is from the white stripes song of the same title, and it is perfect for a fandom flist because there are many of you i don't know well, but we all have the potential to be awesome friends! so much in common that draws us together! it is beautiful!!!
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
the one i am using, a shot from phd comic, because writing is like the hardest process ever for me. there is sweat, and panic, and frantic typing, etc. but it is a labor of love, i swear! the icon is so perfectly emblematic of my fandom life.
