While procrastinating about -- something or other today, this thought popped into my head, as they tend to do when one's deliberately idling. What makes people pick their lj handles? Is there a story behind them, or a reason? Looking at my flist, I can figure out some of them, or at least make an educated guess but others of them puzzle me mightily.

So - would any of you care to share the reasons for your choices?



Cat's paw - a person used by another as a tool.

It seemed appropriate for a psuedonym - plus the pun appealed to me ;-)

Let me guess - Brain, brain and brain would be on that list too!!! LOL!


It is, but it's edged out of the top spot by 'Return to Eden' and 'The Empath'. Worst. Episodes. Ever.

I don't know how old I was when I first saw The Empath but I loved it. I spent months fantisizing that I was an empath healing people, partcularly the guy I had a crush on.

Really? You liked that one? Just goes to show... Although I suppose the premise wasn't that bad, the *idea* of the Empath's abilities - but to me, it just seemed to be a big ol' non-story with a lot of gratuitous violence :-(

I'm curious though now *g* - what would you classify as your worst ever eps? Or didn't you have any? And what would you say were your all time faves?

Nosy bitch, ain't I? ;-)

Well obviously Tribbles rock.
And I like Spock in heat.
Oh and Henry Mudd, the one with all the clones where he ends up with his wife.
The one that was supposed to introduce a spin-off, I think I would have liked that spin-off.

On a related note, I loved when DS9 gave us the other perspective on the Tribble ep.

Ones I didn't like? The one with the planet eater. The one where Jim's friend had superpowers and Jim's headstone had the wrong name.

I suppose if we are to be married you need to know these things. ;-)
