1. My username is ____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
1. My username is "alobear" because Aloysius was already taken (Aloysius has been my online name ever since I read Brideshead Revisited and fell in love with Sebastien Flyte and his wonderful bear). Aloysius as a username has been variously lengthened to "Aloysius T. Bear" and shorteneing to "Alo", so "alobear" seemed a reasonable amalgamation of the two.
2. My journal is titled "Chez Aloysius" because I always thought that would be a cool name for a house, and this is essentially where I "live" online, and also to let people know that Aloysius is my full online name.
3. My subtitle is "Occasional Thoughts and Reviews" because my main plan on starting a live journal was to restrict myself to book and film reviews, but I knew I would end up putting random thoughts and bits and pieces about life on here as well. The "occasionally" is because I also knew I wouldn't update very often.
4. My friends page is called "Apparently other people I know do this too..." as a self-mocking reference to my woeful ignorance of all things live journal before meetingcholten99.
4. My default userpic is of Aloysius the teddy bear from the TV adaptation of Brideshead Revisited, for reasons that should be fairly obvious.
I was up early this morning, so I wandered along to the stables to watchmarkwelham and vampadvocate riding, which was great fun. It was a shame siroswold and weaselbitch weren't there as well. I've never actually watched a riding lesson before, so it was really interesting to see other people doing something that I've been doing for so long. For only a third lesson, markwelham did brilliantly with the rising trot, and vampadvocate showed her greater experience with good posture and admirable control of her horse. I won't be able to fulfil my offer to give siroswold pointers on his riding style by watching another of the lessons, because I got over-excited and signed up for an intermediate class for myself next Sunday at 9am. I was hoping there'd be a lesson at 10am, so I could watch first and ride later, but unfortunately 9am was all they had.
