Viola Tricolor

When I first thought about creating a website, I knew that since my main hobby is anime and manga, that I would have a lot of sites devoted to that. However, I didn't want my main collective name to be Japanese or anime/manga related. I planned on eventually having other things, such as the Galapagos scrapbook, personal sections on my writings, or rants. So I wanted a name for the collective that was something general and for a long time I simply just could not come up with anything at all.

Finally, I thought to myself, I like pansies, pansies are something general, and I could make a pretty layout with them. That's it. I am going to name my site whatever the scientific name for pansies is and that's that. No matter what it is.

I was happy with myself. I thought there'd be a pretty name. I love pansies, I happen to be quite fascinated with taxonomy and phylogeny, and as much as I'll complain about Latin, I like that too. It seemed to be the perfect solution.

So I took out my uncle's good old Oxford dictionary, and looked up pansies. There in the microscopic type was "Viola tricolor."

My jaw dropped. That was not the kind of name I had envisioned for this site. There were other pansy variations, but the particular one I was looking up was Viola tricolor. I double-checked online to see if V. tricolor was legitimate and it was.

Anyone who knows me, knows I can be quite stubborn. I defiantly regarded the information with determined glare and said, you just see if I don't name my site Viola Tricolor! And I cackled maniacally.

Hence, here is the site as it is today. I love the initial page design, and the pastel colors serve as mockery to my original intentions.

A last note on pronounciation: if read with English sounds, Viola Tricolor sounds like either "VIE-oh-la TRY-color" or "VEE-oh-la TRY-color." With a more Latin pronounciation it would be "vee-OH-la tree-coh-LORE." That's how I meant the site to be pronounced. Sounds a tad bit more diginified, plus I hate adapting foreign words to English sounds.

Disorderly Coconuts

The phrase 'disorderly coconuts' came about in a much less dignified way than Viola Tricolor. It all started late late one night when I hadn't had any sleep about 2 days, or at least as many hours as I couldn't count to at the time. I had the 'coconut song' quite firmly stuck in my head. I was chatting with a friend of mine with a similar penchant for weird words and phrases. Resulting from our conversations we have words like 'doign' which means 'elbow', 'ebolrae' which means 'earlobe', 'sexing' the present participle/gerund form of 'to have sex' and the infamous 'make kinj/kies' which is a misspelling of 'to make kinkies'. There are undoubtedly countless others that I just can't recall at the moment. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that the phrase 'disorderly coconuts' would come up in conversation. For those of you that are interested, I actually saved the IM convo that started it all.

Note: I hadn't slept in forever and I didn't have much control over my fingers. As such I couldn't spell or type anything correctly the first time, or even by the second try. I had been carrying on two conversations at once, and at one point I copy/pasted part of the second conversation to the other girl. Try not to be too scared by the revealed inner workings of my tired mind.
