Journal name

[lederhosen]

Since sarin_girl tagged me...

Explain your journal screenname and its meaning.

I really ought to put this in my journal info, since people keep asking this one...

Back when rocks were soft, I used to roleplay online with silverblue and various other miscreants. My main character at the time was a William. One day somebody - I think it was Silverblue's character - called him "Willy" and he objected, because it made him think of fat Germans in lederhosen.

After that it became an in-joke. Many years later I decided to get an LJ account; I didn't want to use my real name because I was having stalker problems at the time, so I plucked lederhosen out of the dim past. That's about it, really.

Stalker problems? You? I never knew.

I'm sorry to hear it - from experience, I know that can suck...

IIRC, that was the guy who sent me anonymous emails threatening to have his Fijian footy player mates duff me up, because I told him off for posting images on a text-only mailing list. He lost interest pretty quickly. The stalker I had a couple of years before that was a bit more obnoxious... but that was part of the Great Sarah Fiasco.

Man, some people will harass others over the stupidest shite...

And I remember your talking about the Fiasco, but thought that was over before you hit LJ-Land, so I was a little bemused. Thanks for clarifying.

... for the longest time I kept calling you William in my head and having to correct myself, too. I think I've finally gotten over it now. :)

Don't be silly - he's not 'William'; he's 'Art'.
