Renamed my LJ
Just as an FYI. It's still me.
I wanted to give this journal a flower name, but livejournal users have been very, very diligent in investigating all the flower names, including just about every subspecies of Asteraceae, which is the family where all the chrysanthemums and dahlias live. So, having run out of flowers, I decided to go for a butterfly name. Helicopini is a subset of the metalmark butterfly family. Metalmarks are very pretty in person. They have a metallic glitteryness to them that doesn't seem to photograph very well. They're the Edward Cullens of the butterfly world.
Plus, some of them have really loltastic common names like 'Carousing Jewelmark' or 'Fatal Metalmark.' I was thinking that an entirely different kind of butterfly, a Hoary Goatwing Comma say, would be the best LJ butterfly username for a writer EVER. Or maybe just 'Hoary Comma'? Either way, I'm a graphic novel-type, so I thought I'd leave that one for a writer-writer.
