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.

... 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'.
