Tinker has been awarded annoying cat of the day, today. First she barfed on my keyboard which meant I had to sit and clean half digested cat food off the keys and then when I was upstairs she knocked down and shattered a glass candle holder. It's good she's so cute, that's all I can say.

So I'm not just moaning about my cat, a meme I stole from Saba and ~T. It's one I've done before so if it's a repeat skim on by.

My username: This is the point where all the long timers are groaning and saying, not that story again, but yes, yes it is. Turps is what my brother calls me. Terri = Ter = Turpentine = Turps. Back in the day, when I was but a baby fangirl I needed a user name to join e groups. Aha, I thought, I'll use Turps, but of course it was already taken, so I shoved 33 on the end totally at random. I've stuck with it ever since, because I'm boring like that.

My journal name: Sofonda Cox, it's my porn star name don't you know? The Sofonda Cox came from a chat I was having with [livejournal.com profile] digital_diva. We plugged our names into a thing that gave you your stripper name. She was Busty De Lusty while I got Sofonda Cox. I used that as my journal name for ages until I realised that some people thought that was my actual name, so added the rest.

My journal title: Saving the Vorwuls since 3289, which is from one of the chats I had with [livejournal.com profile] arsenicjade. A vorwul is a made up animal that Brendon was rescuing, in a story set in space. Mostly though, the title is a nod to one of my favourite people, same as the Sofonda thing, like my friends are part of my journal in a way.

My subtitle: I don't have one, I should change that. How about, ...in a cage!

My friends page: Them. I know, I know, don't hurt yourself boggling at my brilliance.

My default userpic: It's Mikey, looking very pensive. I just adore the icon, I saw it and knew it had to be mine.

Barf on the keyboard?!!! ewwwwwwwwwww...

You know, I've always broken your username down like this: T [is for Terri]+ U ['you']+ RPS... and then some mystery numbers. :D It has always made me laugh that you have RPS *RIGHT THERE* in your username.

...in a cage! Is a great subtitle.

Ewwww is the word. I had to prise up each key really carefully to stop splatter.

I've never seen my user name like that, and now that's all I'll be able to see. It's perfect!

....in a cage fits nicely I think. I may have to add that.

I had to go reupload an old icon just for this comment :)

Oh god, I hope the splatter was small. >__<
[Could be worse, I guess. Though I'll refrain from offering examples. :P]

:D I've always thought it was perfect - and figured you'd think it was funny at the least.

You should add it! *makes encouraging noises*

*claps* I love that icon!

A lack of examples is good!

It is funny, especially because it does fit so well :D

It was really disgusting. Even if she'd done it on the desk it would have been better, but actually on the keyboard? Ick.

My porn name seems appropiate *g*

IN A CAGE is totally the best subtitle you could have.

Take my go ahead as given. It's an awesome story that should be shared, in whatever form.

Yuck! Tinker is a bad, bad kitty!! I hope your keyboard is still working properly after this horrible experience. (And I'm really glad I've got my keyboard on one of those sliding shelf kind of thingys and usually remember to push it in under the desk at night!)

I'm soooo not doing this meme. I've told the story behind turlough a million times already and the rest of them are so boring. Like, my friends page is called "Reading list" :-)

She just stood there and puked all over it. I'd have rather it hit the carpet than my keyboard.

I think I've told my user name story a million times too. I bet a lot of people know it as well as I do *g*

I always associate your username with Terpsichore (muse of dancing and lyric poetry) even though you've got a 'u' there instead of an 'e'. But I also have thought of turpentine and then thought, nah, couldn't be that. LOL.

Cat barf on your keyboard, ugh! How did you get it out from between the keys? Or was it that solid not-entirely-digested food and/or hairball yuckiness? ...why am I even asking? I don't actually need the details here...

From: [identity profile] turps33.livejournal.com
Terpsichore is a much nicer association than turpentine :D

Thankfully there was no hairball as it was one of the short haired cats. If it was the long haired one it would have been a different story D:

I had to very carefully prise off each key -- avoiding inevitable splatter -- and then clean each one and underneath. It was all kinds of gross.

Oh sweet \o/ I didn't know the story for your username so it's nice to know about it (: I like the train of thought your brother had to get to your nickname... it's bizzare but makes sense all the same!

I have my thumbs up for "...in a cage" as your subtitle. Cages are always applicable XD

& hahaha! Naming your friends page "Them" makes us sound like some creepy ghosts lurking in random corners... Themmmmmm!

My brother is bizarre. He never calls me Terri, even my birthday and Christmas cards some addressed to Turps and to his kids I'm auntie Turps *g*

Cages are awesome!

Ahahahaha. Now I'll always think of you guys lurking around.

I did think your name was Sofonda at first. It wasn't until I started to pay attention to the comments that I realized it wasn't! I may have to try this, I haven't been very motivated to post lately and this sounds interesting.

Thankfully my cat hasn't made a mess in the house since she was a little kitten, she goes outside with these things. Still, I fear sorry for you.

Busty De Lusty rocks. xD I wonder what my porn name would be.

Is this story with vorwuls actually written? If not, what a shame.

All our cats our house cats, so I've cleaned a lot of cat puke in my time.

Busty De lusty is an awesome name, Eva so got the better one out of the two.

Well, it's sort of written. Arsenic and I talked about it in emails.

Sounds like there was something in the air that day; my co-worker A. started her day by splashing OJ on the floor. Half an hour later she spilt her cappuccino all over her keyboard by accident. Though I'm sure cappuccino would be better than half-digest-cat-food. Then again, what isn't?

This is the point where all the long timers are groaning and saying, not that story again, but yes, yes it is.

Lol We really do repeat a lot of meme, don't we? Then again, there's always someone new on the flist so it's for their own benefits! You're just thinking of the new comers, that's really considerate of you *nods*

It's Mikey, looking very pensive. I just adore the icon, I saw it and knew it had to be mine.

How about, ...in a cage!

That.would.be.perfect!

It is a fine icon, indeed! Made by [livejournal.com profile] crazybutsound, right?

Obviously there was spill vibes in the air. But I have to say, cappuccino on a keyboard is a really bad thing too. I cringe thinking of the mess. Also, I suspect those vibes are lingering. I was out this morning, opening a bottle of Dr Pepper and it fizzed everywhere. Talk about being sticky.

Lol We really do repeat a lot of meme, don't we?

Some memes seems to cycle around without fail. But, I have picked up a lot of new people so it was worth doing *g*

It is one of hers, yeah. I love it so.
