Taking a break from essay writing... and I was tagged by not_alone!

Explain Your Live Journal User Name and its Meaning meme. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

Now I believe I've done this one before, but probably some of you have missed it, so...


That's pretty easy. My 'sisters' serenitysangel and the Queen of Evil started calling me Drama Queen since I have such a thing for angst and drama. And when I later contemplated having my own personal website, but didn't want to use anything related to my real name, Drama Queen seemed a natural choice. Since dramaqueen.com, .org etc. was already occupied, I went for ourdramaqueen.com. And once I decided to open a LJ, I just thought it would make sense to use the same screen name. Voilà. :)

OK, and now I have to tag... *counts* 13 people?! OK, let's see... I'm curious about the following (among others):

anatketani
banakil
baranduin (whenever your keyboard is functioning properly again)
digitallux
elanorgardner
garfeimao
ink_gypsy
karadin
lips_and_rouge
ms_erupt
shirasade
trianne
willow_wode

The short answer is that "banakil" is the Westron word for "halfling".

The long answer is that when I joined LJ, it was for LOTR fandom. I wanted to be a hobbit but there were already so many names with "hobbit" in them and I wanted to be slightly more original. So I flipped to the appendix of LOTR dealing with languages and came up with banakil. Yay! for obscure literary references.

Oh - I didn't know that! Obviously...

I love that. Yay! for obscure literary references indeed - and Yay! for Tolkien providing plenty of them! :D
