grassangel[Error: unknown template qotd]My username story is really rather simple. It started with a birthday card...
No, seriously, it did. I was making cards for some relative of mine and going all out with my crafty stuff and you know how card companies have their little logo on the back? Well yeah, I wanted to do something like that too, so I signed it 'Grassangel cards' and did a little doodle of a bunch of grass.
Why 'grassangel'? Because among the many meanings of my name (verdant, lush, blooming, etc.) there's also "small green shoot" as in a bud or a... blade of grass.
So there you have it, my username's story. Now... we'll get to song_of_fire or kusashi or one of the other ones later... (Well, actually, no. Kusashi is based on Grassangel. Kusa means grass and I added a part of the word 'tenshi' as in angel, to it. No idea if it'd make sense in Japanese, but it amounts to the same thing as Grassangel. Or at least is supposed to.)

Date: 2008-08-17 05:34 pm (UTC)As for the name I use here on LJ - it's a play off of two nicknames... Bear (and variations of it) is what my grandmother has called me all my life. My big brother also calls me that and thought it was funny to call me barely-happenin' because I don't have much of a life. :P But instead of taking offense, I think that's funny. So... they combine for bearlyhapnin.
