I don't know... but I can guess.

Because I'm entirely crippled today by backache and no, the meds aren't working, dammit, and I have no ability to be creative or witty or interesting or even get my shit together to make comments on anyone else's journal (although I am compiling a list of random questions to ask Beck if I ever get the chance, and that should be a good f***ing hint at how crappy I'm feeling), tell me why you picked your LJ username and/or what it means.

I'll go first.

Mine's pure Bebop lyric ("no black and white in the blue"). You?

Mine's from a dream.

I've always liked the aspen tree -- did you know that they're not actually a divided tree? An aspen grove is a clone organism, with a shared root system. You can tell which trees are part of which group in the fall by watching which ones all turn gold together.

Anyway, I dreamed of a grove of aspen in the fall, during that time when the sky is such a vivid blue that it's almost painful, and the pine and fir a deep and resonant green such that the white trunks of the aspen stand out against everything in sharp relief and shine in the sunlight, especially when the wind ruffles their leaves.

Except that in my dream, all the aspen leaves were a brilliant silver.

And then I woke up, but the memory of the dream stayed. And so did the name.
