User name: When I first started my LJ - I used most of my real-life name as my user name, since I never, ever in a million years intended to read, let alone write...slash. Enter stumbling onto slash and becoming hooked. After posting fics for a bit under that name and ensuing fiasco that was involved when my then 19 yr old find my journal *which involved a fight in the Louvre in Paris - a story for another day* - I decided to change my user name. Around that same time I became a member of an RPG called Beyond Seven Years and I played Narcissa. I was in it for several years, playing some other characters *Theo Nott and Severus Snape* but Narcissa has always been a fav character of mine. After I read HBP I knew Narcissa would whatever it took to make certain Draco survived the war. Anyway - because I was "Narcissa-obsessed" I put a request to my flist and sassy_cissa was the user name they came up with for me. *wipes brow* whew - that was a butt-load of info for such a simple question.
Next my default icon is Michelle Pfieffer - who I believe to this day would have made a perfect Narcissa....if they hadn't had that stupid everyone must be British rule for the movies. Not to mention she'd never have allowed her hair to look like a skunk!
My header...it changes seasonally. "Spring into Summer" "Fall into Fandom" and "A good fic warms you on a cold winter day". The designs generally vary and are created by the mulit-talented femmequixotic. I'm using last years fall one, though, because she is buried in Graduate work at Harvard and I didn't want to bug her for a new one this year. My journal motto is from a song by 3 Doors Down called "Let Me Go". On my main joural is: In this world there's real and make believe and on my friends page it's And this seems real to me.
Oh and I can code a basic layout, but when your bff is a graphic designer...who "lives to code" why bother!!! ♥
