My god, all I do any more is memesheep

KILL ME, I NEED CONTENT BACK.

That said, two more memes. And, um, I'll resolve my personality conflict about content sometime real soon, or similar. I'm not sure why I make these promises, when I know perfectly well that a) no one cares (this is not where everyone runs and says OMG I DO TOO CARE) and b) I will wind up saying the same thing all over again in three months.

The first meme, from laurel714: Explain your Live Journal name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

Channon Yarrow is a character in Transmetropolitan. She's rather tall (as I am) and starts out the series as a journalist apprentice of sorts to Spider, then fucks off away after he gets all Spider all over her life. When she returns, she becomes his bodyguard, since he's acquired, in the intervening time, Yelena Rossini, who has taken the journalist apprentice role.

When I made my lj, I was trying to take other nicknames, but every variation of Cass that I could stand was taken, and steppinrazor3 (and variations thereof) was as well. Channonyarrow was my third choice, and I thought of it partly because I really like the character (and the series), but also partly because there was something of a joke at the time that I was a friend's bodyguard. Someone who behaved very badly to her was living in mortal terror of me, despite having never met me, because I was going to go put the fear of god into him if he didn't learn manners, and damn quickly.

I am pleased to report that he learned manners. But it is a role that, I think, I step into easily, partly from the sheer intimidation factor of someone my height and partly from the protectiveness I can feel towards friends. It doesn't hurt that Transmet is sheer genius - after having to explain for the last ten years that my email address is a reference to Neuromancer and I hate Neuromancer with a burning passion, it's nice to have my journal be a reference to something I like and respect and have no qualms about recommending.

As you might imagine, I have a LOT of people to tag, having THIRTEEN LETTERS in my name. Agh agh agh. And I am not tagging anyone whose name I already know the origin of (which leaves out, like, everyone I know in real life).

Tagging:
nullstr
skibinskaya
40hex
isotripy
exairian
niburu33
hammerheadshrk (though I have a vague memory of you explaining this, I can't find it. Am I crazy?)
nebris
adellyna
germankitty
thisdaywefight
woodra
gillen

And a second meme, because I promised. From jkivela, First ten people to comment on this entry get free drabbles from me. You pick the content and everything. Then post this and do the same in your journal. (And jkivela had it as doodles, but, seriously, my drawing skills are the Vortex of Suck +5, so I changed it.)

I make no promises on date done or anything else. But you will get what you ask for. And if you ask for fan stuff, I reserve the right to clarify what I know well enough to write for - anyone who asks for SGA or Buffy will be smote mightily. Chances are, if it's on television, I don't know it. Except Homicide. I know Homicide.

An interesting explanation, but why did you pick it? I always get real curious about this sort of thing, so this meme is ideal. For me, anyway.

My Spirit Guide indicated that the name 'be something with an N sound'. [that's how I remember it] I looked in my ten pound dictionary and there is was. =)

A nebris is also an electrum plated wand some times found in the tombs of the Pharaohs.
