There's a questions meme going around. Since a couple of my friends have answered this one, I'll join them:

"Why did you pick your journal name?"

I came by "redbird" back in the 1990s, when my friend Lucy was running a MOO and invited me to join. People were mostly using handles, and I needed one. I happened to glance at my left arm, noticed the tattoo, and "redbird" it was. After a while, Lucy was occasionally calling me "Red."

When I joined Livejournal, my given name was taken, and redbird was available, so I grabbed it. Then when I came over here (yes, I'm still at LJ as well) I wanted the continuity, though I also grabbed my initials as a username (in the Unix system tradition). I haven't used that account, but it's not as though we're running out of usernames.
