altariel | That meme

1. My journal is called "It's a full life, if a trifle banal" because Garak says it about himself, and it's true. Less so for Garak than for me, I would say, on balance.

2. My subtitle is Altariel's journal because it is, and because I was running out of ideas.

3. My friends page is called "They never told me that in the Obsidian Order" because, again, Garak says it; this time to Bashir when they're tied up together in the thoroughly unslashy Our Man Bashir: "Kiss the girl, get the key. They never told me that in the Obsidian Order." All about spies, you see, Our Man Bashir. ("Enhance my evening" is also something that Garak says to Bashir.)

4. My username is altariel1 because Altariel is the pseud I picked for my Tolkien writing, but when I came to pick an LJ username, 'altariel' had already gone. That '1' really irritates me.

5. My default userpic is the Second Doctor because - well, look at him. "Genius" is something he calls himself, btw. Can't remember what the story is, it's got Ice Warriors in it. Possibly The Ice Warriors?

6. My LJ "name" is Altariel because, again, it's the Tolkien-writing pseud. Which I picked because I was embarrassed to be writing F/E romances rather than stuff about spaceships and interrogations and explosions. And because - whatever the fiction might suggest - Galadriel has been my favourite character in LotR for years. And because I have delusions of grandeur.
