Because I Need A Distraction...
Meme nicked from ellipticcurve...

My username is _____, because ____.

Schnebs, because for years people have tried saying my last name, mangled it, and usually settled on that as something easier to deal with. When I went online, it seemed like a natural, and the name's usually available when I register someplace.

My (LJ) name is _____, because ______.

Also schnebs, 'cause I was too lazy to come up with a second name. :)

My journal is titled ____ because ____.

"Oxnard, Anaheim and Lake Buena Vista Railroad", in honor of Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific Railroad. Since I don't have a backyard to be home to my happy place, my railroad's key destinations are those happy places I long to be, plus home of course. Besides, it's got a little of the Jack Benny thing going for it, and it sounded better to me than calling it the "Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga Railroad".

My journal is subtitled ____ because ____.

"Schnebs, President, General Manager & What Have You." Stolen straight from Walt's stationary letterhead for the Carolwood Pacific (yes, his backyard railroad even had stationary made up!). It's a nice way of reminding everyone (including myself) that I'm responsible for anything that happens on this here blog.

My friends page is called ____, because ____.

"OA&LBVRR Honorary Vice-Presidents". Continuing the theme and yet another steal from Walt.
In the days when Walt personally owned the Disneyland Railroad, he would name his friends Honorary Vice-Presidents of the Carolwood Pacific, which would entitle them to ride on the DLRR as his guests. Since I consider the folks that post in this section to be my friends (not just LJ friends, but the genuine article), I thought the folks who post here deserve the same honor. (Sorry, guys, but you'll have to buy your own tickets to ride on the Disneyland Railroad!)
