kaberett(Still from finch's list of 21 questions.)
Because I was choosing new names for myself.
Because German is my first language.
Because I sing.
Because "Kabarett" carries specific connotations of cabaret as a form of political satire.
Because goodness knows I'm plenty political.
Because I'm entirely too fond of anagrams and multilingual jokes.
Because it's perfect.
I've a post that will be going up on the LashBlog sometime soonish, about names and "reality". And it boils down to this: all of my names are chosen, and all of my names are real. kaberett is as much my name as the one on my prescription pre-payment certificate; my life online is as real as my life offline, and separating the two is an... interesting task, and I wish you luck with it.
The big tattoo I want to get is white ink: bricks (yes, as per The Wall) up my back, turning into jigsaw pieces at my sides and around onto my chest (which part will have to wait until post-surgery).
I'm building myself (back) up; I'm putting myself (back) together. I'm not ever going to be done, of course, but that's part of the joy of it.

And I am pondering getting a skylark sitting on one of the lines of the bricks on one of my shoulderblades, because a bird on a wire, and because skylarks (a friend's chosen middle name was Skylar - scholar, fugitive - and it was beautiful and perefct for him, and obviously skylark isn't the same beast or even the same etymology, but).
INK PLNZ.
(I have some other stuff plotting, as well: I think I'd like the lines "only by moving can balance/and only by balancing move" around one-or-both biceps, haven't decided yet, and need to decide how oriented, etc etc etc... plus abdominal surgery scars are gonna need reclamatory ink at some point. INK.
-- & this would be why people express surprise that I don't yet have any tattoos, I suppose...)
