Writer's Block: AKA

[pinksonia]

[Error: unknown template qotd]In high school I was in a community theater group called the Encore Players.  We were supposed to do "musicals with a message," although how well we ever succeeded is up for debate.  Anyway, the two years I was in (before the directors moved away) we did Godspell, which is a musical based on the gospel of Matthew.  I had the part of Sonia (who, if you know the show, is the character who sings "Turn Back O Man" and tells the story of "The Good Samaritan").  Traditionally, when the show is done by adults the characters are presented as clowns to give them an excuse to act childish.  Since, we were all children anyway (and therefore had an excuse to act childish) the directors decided that for costumes we would each wear a pair of black overall and each character would have a different color shirt.  Sonia's color was pink.  So I was, and still am while online, Pinksonia.

Aww....I always thought that your online handle was a tribute to your inner nerd, a la Red Sonja. The actual story is also pretty good, so I forgive you.

I've had other people think that, and truthfully, I have no idea who Red Sonja is.

IMDB and/or Wikipedia will tell you all you need to know. To sum up, Red Sonja is a character from the Conan the Barbarian series that eventually spun off into her own comic/movie/etc. She is awesome in that kick-ass, bikini mail-clad fighter chick way that makes my inner feminist both happy and angry.
