Sure! I'll play. Quite boring though, compared to the wonderful stories already shared!
I chose my username while I was re-rereading Book5. So, yes, it was a celebration of CAPSLOCK!Harry! I thought of potteresque_angst or potteresque_capslock, but both were too long.
I was a lurker at the time, using the handle only when it's necessary to log in to read stories, which didn't happen often. I never thought at the time that I would delurk to comment, never mind to write and post; otherwise I would have used a more calling friendly name. (In retrospect, I should know myself way better than that. I can never quite keep mum on my obsession of the moment! :) )
Luckily, not long after I delurked and started to comment everyone's ears off, two friends shortened my name for me. Frayach started calling me P.I., and then Calanthe said something along the line of "I dubbed thee Pie" and so Pie I become and I love it! So Pie I am...
I stick with this icon of mine 99.99% of the time. I rely heavily on icons to tell who's who, including, er, myself, when I'm scanning a page. I am Asian and so have the black hair like the girl does and I love owls.
LJ journal name: Between the Shadow and the Soul, from a poem by Pablo Naruda. I am far from a "literate" person in RL, as in, I haven't read much at all compared to most of my LJ friends here (or anyone, really) and what I read I've mostly forgotten, and I feel guilty quoting people and things I don't really like or know about... and Neruda was one of the very poets who left an impression on me in poetry. And more importantly, the sonnet from which it came from, as well as the phrase itself, was to me so very Harry/Draco .. which is, of course, my main ship.
As for the layout, I change mine quite often--my one and only *huge!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!* problem with LJ layout is that the title is usually in Helvetica / Arial, which simply doesn't look right with Between the Shadow and the Soul to me (on the other hand, it's PERFECT with ABCDEFG, or NATIONAL SHUTDOWN AGENCY, or DO NOT REMOVE.. you get the idea.. ). I usually make a bit of modifications here and there with existing designs. The current one I have isn't my favorite, but it's simple and fast to load :).
I really love your username (poetic in its own way!) and the icon fits perfectly, although, I admit these days I have this wondering whether the bird is Nic Cage's patronus or... Nic Cage in disguise. :D!!!!!
