A Philosophical Exploration of the Pen Name That Is Creative, Kind Of.

`crayola.

her pen name was once `molasses. but she borrowed that from a friend on livejournal. the girl thought it was cute and totally awesome.

but when she tired of stealing the name of another she switched to `nectarine due to her love of the fruit and because she thought it was an awesome sounding word.

however now she is on to `crayola. why you might ask? well it all started when a friend of hers msn’d her telling the girl to join his new site. she said that she would – when she thought of a username. so looking around her room her eyes fell on – and stuck to – a box of crayola colored pencils.

so crayola just fit because it’s just like her; silly, colorful, childish, but mature because colored pencils are more mature than crayons.

and due to her fascination with this [`] character she added that an a period.

thus, `crayola. was born.
