ishandahalf. Noun. The pseudonym of a zany Canadian. Canadian origin.
Pronounced: "ish-and-a-haf". Plural: ishandahalves. Short forms: ishy, ish.
Compound word: composed of "ish" and of "and a half".
ish - quasi, kind of, having a resemblance of; a way of being descriptive yet lazy (ex. - the water is bluish, the grass is greenish).
and a half - even better than, to a greater degree or extent; a competitive afterthought (ex. - "You say you're insane? Well, I'm insane - and a half!").
Therefore, ishandahalf = having a resemblance of a greater degree or extent.
Makes sense? No? Then mission accomplished!

Well, now that that's out of the way, let's see... So, I'm a university student from Canada, eh? And yes, I do actually say that. Quite a bit. Anyhoo, if you've seen (and by 'seen', I mean 'read') me around the site, you'll know that I'm absolutely hooked on anything with the X-men, specifically Rogue/Remy. It's border-line obsessive. I need professional help.

Let's see, what other information can I divulge about myself... Well, I'm possibly the biggest AFI fan on the planet. I'm also big into the Clash, the Cure, the Smiths, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Belle and Sebastian, the Decemberists, Arcade Fire... And we can't forget my one weakness - 80's one-hit wonders! Men Without Hats, Modern English, Flock of Seagulls... I also like random things like Tootsie Roll Pops, Johnny Depp, sparkly things, and the Swedish Chef (best Muppet ever!).

Oh, and one very important thing: I despise when the word "foyer" is pronounced with the "er" sound, and not "ay". It seems pointless, I know, but I despise it with the hot, fiery passion of a thousand burning suns! A close second is pronouncing "niche" with an "itch" sound instead of "eesh". I mean, come on, it makes it sound so awful! They're French words, people, pronounce them correctly! ...I'm so weird, I know. I'm sorry. But I'd make a law about this if I could.

A note to fans of "The Bra Whisperer": if you had this story on your favourites list but then mysteriously found it gone one day, that's because site adminstration deleted my fic. Why, you ask? Because somebody plagiarized it, and then actually had the gall to blame ME of plagiarizing THEIR version. It was an annoying fiasco that eventually got resolved, but apparently the folks in admin don't pay very much attention to the emails they get, since they removed my fic even after proof had been delivered that I was the innocent party. However, I reposted the story, so please, read and enjoy. :)
