Journal changes -- a contest

[eurydicebound]

I've had the name and subtitle of my livejournal for as long as I've had my LJ. I'm tired of it. Everything else in my life has changed, that might as well too. Therefore, I'm having a minor contest. I want a new name and subtitle. I've changed the style and I suspect I'll keep this one for a while. I'm more fond of it than I thought I'd be, and the red and black suit me. :)

Anyway, so suggest some new names. The winner (to be chosen by me) will get the obvious prize of naming my journal. In addition, I'll throw in a comp copy of whatever I've got that you're interested in. My work website (matrix.dumpshock.com/michellelyons) is badly in need of updating, and yet has the bulk of my work listed. I can't make a lot of guarantees about how much of the older stuff I have, but I'll take a gander through and see what I can provide.

Ooh, this theme looks good on you. ;)

It's so movie! So, you need a movie-ish title and subtitle. Maybe something like "Live From the Casting Couch: Starlet For Hire." :D

Well, the obvious one is "Lyons' Den," but you probably already thought of that one and dismissed it.

I'll see if I can think of anything else.

"Life, Gaming and Everything Else"

Not sure if you're a Douglas Adams fan, though. :)

I certainly approve of red and black LJ layouts. ;)

As for names...I thought of a few earlier, but they were all Guns 'n Roses references and now I've had too much champagne and forgotten them anyway...

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I can't believe this was posted 12 days ago. Eesh. Sorry about that. Truth is, I haven't any truly good ideas. Sure, there are riffs on your current movie theme but I'm thinking you might want something more universal, longer lasting than something along that line.

"Here's mud in your eye" is a favorite quip of mine though I don't say it out loud. As is "It is my density" but that's not that great as a title. "Michelle Action Figure Comes With Jetpack" is painfully derivative. See also "Living Out Loud." "Life in Progress" can probably be found in 150,000 LJs throughout this service's history.

Puns on your name make my blood go chunky, much like the short-lived Rob Lowe vehicle that did the same.

"Like It or Fuck Off" is abrasive. "Wotchu lookin' at?" doesn't seem to fit your personality. Hmm.

"Diamond in the rough" is crap, may as well as call it "Needle in a haystack." You could go quirky, such as "Pancakes and Stirrups" which sounds like a fetish-slash-breakfast site. "Well, red" is a pun and not a good one. "Black, White, and Read" sounds like a newspaper ad.

So, alas, I have nothing proper and good to offer you. My apologies for that.
