Just 'cause I meant to be doing epigraphy work, and this looked amusing.
The Alias Meme
EXOTIC FOREIGNER ALIAS = Favorite Spice + Last Foreign Vacation Spot
Kalongi Beaune (aka Nigella Beaune)
SOCIALITE ALIAS = Silliest Childhood Nickname + Town Where You First Partied
Dodo Oxford
"FLY GIRL" ALIAS (a la J. Lo) = First Initial + First Two or Three Letters of your Last Name
D. Kra
DIVA ALIAS = Something Sweet Within Sight + Any Liquid in Kitchen
Coca-Cola Ultra
GIRL DETECTIVE ALIAS = Favorite Baby Animal + Where You Last Went to School
Lynx Berkeley (Bunny Berkeley sounded too much like a porn star)
BARFLY ALIAS = Last Snack Food You Ate + Your Favorite Drink
Quesadilla Tea
SOAP OPERA ALIAS = Middle Name + Street Where You First Lived
Anne Caribou
PORN STAR ALIAS = First Pet's Name + Street You Grew Up On
Icky Caribou (or Ichabod Caribou, but then I'd be a transvestite porn star)
ROCK STAR ALIAS = Any Liquid on the Bar + Last Name of Bad-Ass Celebrity
Zubrowka Jolie
And, far more interesting, the problems I had doing and my commentary on this meme:
1. a. I'm a big fan of all spices. So I eventually just went to the spice cupboard and chose a name that would sound cool. Nigella and Kalongi are two names for the same thing; it's labelled Kalongi on the packet in my cupboard, however.
b. The last place I actually was this summer is Oxford. However, I no longer really consider that a foreign vacation spot, I consider that visiting my friends. Also, Beaune sounded much cooler, and also also, Oxford was in my next answer.
2. My only childhood nickname. The two go together disturbingly well (given the dodo's location), but it's a kind of strange alias.
3. Not quite the same ring as J-Lo. Somehow.
4. Hee. Ultra is the Safeway dishwashing soap. And the only sweet thing in my room is an empty can of diet coke.
5. I don't have a favorite baby animal. I will very frequently go "awww!!!!!" and squeal lots upon beholding a baby animal, but none of them is my favorite. However, there is a baby lynx (later grown) in Randall Jarrell's "The Animal Family," and it's one of the first baby animals that always comes to my mind. 'Sides, Lynx Berkeley just sounds cool.
6. Quesadilla is perhaps not a snack food, and it just sounds silly as part of a name. But it is now, and otherwise I'll probably be Goldfish Tea or Pretzel Tea; I had both at the grad social last week. As for tea, it may not be my favorite drink, but it's what I probably consume the most. Also, this may have actually wanted an alcoholic drink, but I can't really think of a favorite one. "Quesadilla Safety-Belt" sounds really strange, anyway.
7. No problems here, except that it's the same last name as the next one, 'cause we never moved. *gasp*
8. Yes, my first pet was really called Icky. Yes, his real name was really Ichabod. *goes away*
9. Possibly most bars do not stock Polish Bison Grass Vodka. However, nothing I can think of that is on the bar sounds very good as a first name, especially as a rock-star's first name. Bailey's Jolie? Nuh-uh. Please. And I have had bison grass vodka, a fair amount actually (until I couldn't stomach it any more), at my 22nd birthday party. Thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Irrelevantly, I seem to have missed celebrating my 500th journal entry mark, by five entries. Well, belatedly, it was this one.
