1. My username has always seemed to me as if it should have some funny/interesting story behind it, but really, I was in a hurry when I signed up for LJ and it was the first phrase that popped into my head.
2. The "name" portion of my LJ is filled out to be my username, because the place that it used that field on my layout at the time was a place where I wanted "10cents" to appear instead. My REAL name is Jennifer, except I started going by Jeni when I was about 15, and it stuck around because that's the age that I met my husband, and HE started calling me that. On a day-to-day basis I get called Jennifer, Jeni, and Jen, because everyone except for me has a preference.
3. "All the relevant data you never needed to know" is a phrase that I just kind of typed up randomly one day when I was re-doing my LJ layout. I like it because blogs and such feel so self-important, and yet really the vast majority of the time they're filled with pointless nonsense. Pointless nonsense that we cannot seem to do without once we get hooked on it.
4. "Friends", because I couldn't come up with a pithy title that didn't make me cringe from the cheesiness of it.
5. It's a modified photo that I took a long, long time ago of myself using a tripod and a self-timer. I had found a random photo-prompt website where they listed "blue" as the current prompt, and so I set up a shot in my parent's blue living room, on their blue couch, wearing a blue pair of pants and a blue t-shirt, holding a fat blue book. Then when I got around to getting the picture off of the camera I found out that I hadn't adjusted the settings to have the proper white-balance for indoor lighting, and my forehead was BRIGHT RED. So I started mucking with the colors, and I ended up with a picture that looked to be as if it was an old, almost Victorian kind of photograph, and I thought that THAT looked hilarious with the shot, so I just kind of went with it.
