Username: awickedmemory comes from a song from Avantasia: The Metal Opera called "Memory": / From the faces in my dream, they are coming back for me / / As it was told in their prediction / / Is it just a dream... or just a wicked memory / / Now I see her coming - on her besom / / The smell of brimstone and the mark of the beast / / From the open window, is it just a dream? / I just really liked the idea of not being able to tell if you were in a nightmare or reliving the horribly memories of something you'd done - and the character singing this particular song is being haunted by the ghost of a woman she had tortured, dismembered and killed earlier in the story, so there was a sense of vindictive gratification that he's not going unpunished for his hurtful actions.
Default icon: Most of my icons are character/ship-specific or are reactionary. This one is the most all-purpose, so it became my default.
Customizations: I don't have any text personalizations except for lyrics for the song the username comes from. XD I used to have this layout, which was literally just doodles of my friends (that's me and my BFF snoozing), but I didn't like my journal being graphic-heavy and switched to a text-based layout because I'm boring like that.
I wondered what sort of bird that was in your icon! I love its beak. Even its name is ridiculously adorable. XD And your quotes are very good advice, yes! Ahhh, I'd offer to help customize your LJ but I work better with raw coding and have never been good at tweaking LJ's minor customizations. T_T I find many of their available free layouts to be really... bulky, ugh. XD
