It's really fun reading these - I have often wondered how people came up with their usernames and what their icons or headers represent to them. But I'm always too shy to ask. :)
My username comes from the last line (I think?) in the DH epilogue. I didn't agree with the whole idea that all was well for Harry with that ending! I really wanted my username to say all_is_not_well but that was too many characters. My journal used to be just a fanfic browser (I didn't want to use my RL LJ to join some darker HP comms in case someone I knew from RL stumbled across it), so I wasn't very particular about the name. But now that this is my main journal, I wish I'd chosen something else. But I don't want to change it because when other people have changed their journal names I felt as though I didn't really recognize them anymore.
The header in my LJ is just one of the generic headers - I don't know how to do my own. I rather liked the raven though. I wanted the colors to be dark and the theme to be very moody and dark as well. There weren't many options to choose from, so this was the closest I could get.
The header says, "Quoth the muse: There may be more... Sometime. When I get around to it. Terribly busy, you know. Stuff to do." Which is basically my muse talking. She is a fickle muse. Some days there is fic, other days, not so much.
My default icon is a photo I found online somewhere at random. I have several different icons that are versions of Ginny. I don't know why - I'm not especially a fan. But I like the windswept look of this one.
