Because we never really know each other as well as we think, in response to this post I'd like you to ask a question. Anything about which you are curious, anything you feel you ought to know about me. Silly, serious, personal, fannish. Ask away. Then copy this to your own journal, and see what people don't know about you.

What does your screen name come from/mean?

At one point I made a t-shirt with the image in my default userpic (used in this comment) on it, and I wanted to come up with a slogan in Latin to go with. I thought it looked like an angry kitten, but there was no classical Latin word for kitten. Modern folks seeking to fill that gap have used the construction "felicula" for kitten. I liked the sound of that, so I emblazoned the shirt with the words "felicula inritata," enraged kitten. About the same time I was working on the shirt, I decided I could use a new username. The whole phrase was a bit too long, but since I wear tons of black, blackfelicula fit.
I am a cat lover in general, so the username stuck. I've been using it in a few different places since before I started this journal... 2001 I think?
