108. Aw man, busted by SeattleGirl.


I shoulda known! :)


Okay, my name. A couple of reasons for it. First of all I like to write for fun, and when I write I occasionally juxtapose words that wouldn't ordinarily go together, but which fit a particular context very well. Dangerously Amused is an example of that.

I like it because it's open to interpretation. It could be sinister, or... it could be irreverent. I like the ambiguity, because I think the anonymous nature of a place like this allows everyone the opportunity to be a little bit of themselves, and a little bit of their alter-ego.

I also think that upon seeing my name for the first time people probably assign different images or feelings to it depending upon which word they choose to emphasize, maybe reflecting a little bit of themselves. And that's fine.

Finally, I sometimes have a bad habit of becoming "dangerously amused," for example when I am driving and working out a complicated legal strategy in my head. Honestly, there are days when I shouldn't be allowed out of the house with car keys in my actual or constructive possession. :eyes:
