Head patted, tummy rubbed. For some reason that engendered a deep desire for tasty scones. I think it's because my Adagio tea order just came in and scones and tea are happy together!!!
To answer number 7: My name has a somewhat historic but pretty boring start. I was on a local bbs when I was 12 years old or so and I needed a handle. My first one was "flashlight", which is where the old term "Flaslight Holder Peering Over" comes from.
Since it was a local BBS, we'd have meetups now and again. I was perpetually being introduced as "This is Amber, or Flashlight. You know, the spazzy chick."... My spazzyness at the time was more of the annoying sort so I can imagine where such a reputation would spawn.
Anyway, about 14 or so the BBS I was on died a horrible phone bill death and a new one sprang up. I then used the handle "Spazzychic". While at the time I was still VERY tomboy like and as far from "chic" as I could be, I appreciated the irony. :)
The name ended up on LJ because when I started the journal I felt a lot like the confused, depressive and lost 12 year old I was, but I remembered even though life was pretty crappy at the time, I still managed to have some great friends met through an online community. Thus, the name came here. :)
