Journal name

Since [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] lederhosen out of the dim past. That's about it, really.

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.
