man i totally stole this from Holly
1. My username is _____ because ____
It is qcjeph because I think just "jeph" was taken, and I wanted something that would say "yes I am THAT GUY from questionablecontent.net." In hindsight I don't think it's a very good LJ name but it is MINE so it will STAY.
2. My name is _____ because ______.
My first name is Jeph because of a longish story. My full, legal name is still Jeffrey (people going "oh man that is totally not his real name he is so pretentious" can cackle and slap their tard-arms together with glee) but everybody, even my parents, call me Jeph (and spell it like that). Basically when I was a kid (eleven or twelve? I honestly forget) I started spelling my name "Jeph" as a self-deprecating joke (OH LOOK AT MISTER ARTSY BOY HE THINKS HE'S SO FANCY), and for whatever reason it stuck. I am almost 28 so it has been that way for well over half my life now.
My last name is Jacques pronounced "jacks" because my grandfather's side of the family is of French Huguenot descent. In case you aren't familiar, the Huguenots are one of the groups that got kicked out of mainland Europe, went to Britain, got kicked out of THERE, and then came to the US. So it's pronounced "jacks" and not "zhock" because it has been Anglicized not once but twice. In fact many people with our family name have simply changed the spelling to "Jacks" or got it changed for them because of this confusion.
My middle name is Paul because my parents are Catholic. I do not hate women.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
QC Livejournal because I was not feeling very imaginative when I made this thing, apparently. Maybe I should change it to something funnier or weirder. EDIT: oh hey look I changed it to something more appropriate.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
These People Are Creepy because goddamnit people are creepy on the internet. Mainly though I thought it would be funny.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
A drawing I did of myself years ago because I wanted to have a QC version of myself I guess? It's horribly out of date, my hair is much shorter and I have a beard and more piercings and I should probably exercise more. Also I need to add some Hanners-esque bags under my eyes.
