Friendzy!

[aggienaut]

I thought I'd do something the lovely boxsofrain did a bit ago, and declare a Friendzy (Friending frenzy!). Actually I'm not sure she intended for it to work out quite like this but it did: (1) answer the following questions in a comment; (2) As Boxes says, "Also to make this more fun, feel free to read other peoples comments and reply to them with something nice about them. ... Make friends, add each other, mingle, just please be nice." (3) extra points if you mention the Friendzy in your own LJ and send people over to the party! (=

Alphabet Manipulator

"Alphabet manipulator" hahaha.

What is the origin of "Beldar" specifically as a nickname though?

It sounds so much nicer than "copy editor" and covers being a writer of original stuff as well.

Beldar was originally the name of the male Conehead played by Dan Akroyd on Saturday Night Live. Since I'm kind of a space case and my last name is "Belden" it seemed inevitable that someone would tag me with the alien moniker.

Ah yeah. The transition from Belden to Beldar makes sense. It would be a suprise if it didn't happen.
