Where on the Web is Beaduhilde Johnson?

And where did she get such a funky name?

The Center For the Easily Amused

The C*E*A chatrooms are where I spend an embarrassing amount of my time. I'm known to many as HildyJ, though sometimes I'm seen using different names, specifically Elixabeth or Comrade.Lix; these are reserved for special occasions, namely when I'm at my most obnoxious.
I also thouroughly enjoy the links pages, particularly the Sites That Do Stuff and Random Silliness.
Parsla's Self-indulgent Homepage

This is Parsla's page. A poem of mine is on her "Poems" page, mis-titled "Lovers". The real name of the poem is Bad Poetry By Me. It was written in a fit of silliness on or near Valentine's Day. It, along with other such poems and sayings (and quite a bit of unrelated randomness) was written on the back of a cheap valentine and stuck into a random locker the day before Val's Day.
Scorpion's Lair

This page belongs to the brother I never had. Or was that the brother I wish I never had? I'm not sure. The reason his link is here is because at one point I said something clever enough to appear on his page of quotes! I was so proud of myself!
~silky's lair~

~silky~ is a C*E*A chatter that I haven't seen in a very long time, unfortunately. Look under C*E*A fun for some impromtu rhyming I did...Just for the record, though, my first line was, in fact, A wuz could be a person, too.


Hildy and Where She Came From

Sometime during my high school career, my major act of rebellion was to refuse to sign into the library when going there over lunch hour.
Because they wouldn't let you in if you didn't sign in, I'd sign something other than my name; the names of obscure fictional charecters and random dead people, usually. Hildy Johnson is not only an obscure fictional charecter (from John Varley's Steel Beach), but he is one who adopted the name of ANOTHER fictional charecter....Hildy Johnson, from the play and movies "The Front Page" and "His Girl Friday".


What's With This "Beaduhilde" Business, Anyway?

I got the name "Beaduhilde from the Old English poem "Deor", which my mother translated for me for my 19th birthday. It translates to "Battle-War", which I found morbidly appealing, and can conceivably be shortened to Hildy, which made it perfect.
