1. I'm horrible at choosing usernames for anything. Inevitably they all end up different on whatever site I need one for, since I never like the last one I used. I wanted my LJ name to be something descriptive of myself, and I am indeed a redhead. But in grade 6, some kid in grade 9 (who was a friend of the guy that my entire friendbase had a crush on) nicknamed me "The Redheaded Bitch" for reasons I've since forgotten. How he knew that's who I'd grow up to be, I have no idea. But I figured that LJ might not let me put "bitch" in my name, and I have a few conservative friends who disapprove of the swearing, so I dropped the "b" and opted for an underscore instead. Either that or it's an allusion to Marilyn Monroe, take your pick.
2. My name is Kerrin because everyone in my family is named after another member of our extended family. I'm Kerrin after my aunt, and Alice after my maternal grandmother.
3. My journal title is "The Thought-Book" because that's basically what it is, on a digital scale. The sub-title exists because I was on a huge Pete Wentz kick and I enjoy poetic bullshit.
4. My friends page ("Partners in Time") is a play on "partners in crime". Because they are all of these.
5. My (current) default icon is a lyric from a My Chemical Romance song of the same name. All five of my icons are song titles by different artists. I chose the MCR one because a) I like the colour scheme and b) it's a song that I can listen to for hours and not get tired of.
