bliumchik1. My username is maggiebloome because...
I go by Maggie most places and my last name is TOO LONG FOR THE INTERTUUUUUUBES. And, like, stalkers and crap. But I originally thought of using Bloome as a pen name because it phonetically sounds like the end of my surname, so. Yeah, these days I think I'll stick with my actual name for professional endeavour as it's less trouble, but the username stuck across several different websites.
2. My name is Captain Oblivous because...
Hi, have you met me?
3. My journal is titled "Funky Headgear" because...
I like hats. THE END. Incidentally my subtitle at the moment is "Alignment: Chaotic FUN" because good, evil and neutral are a little restrictive.
4. My friends page is called "Does a tree fall in the forest?" because...
Does a Maggie blog on a livejournal if there's nobody around to read it?
5. My default userpic is a giant fiery eyeball with a teacup because...
Look. WHY NOT.
...
fine. Well, the origins of the icon itself are in a drabble for the old It Hurts My Brain random pairing generator, which gave me Sauron and Shepherd Book. I wrote them having tea and discussing theology. Then I pretty much had to make an icon of Sauron drinking tea.
I use it because I think it embodies just the right amount of absurdity to fit my journal/life.
