My name is taken from Marilyn Manson’s song “I Wanna Disappear.” One of the verses says “I wanna die young / Sell my soul / Use up all your drugs / To make me come / Yesterday man, I was a nihlist / Now today I’m just too fucking bored.” ---

Although I didn’t intend for this to happen, my name rhymes with the “Smelly Cat” song by Phoebe on Friends. I use ellykat for here and my email and a bunch of other stuff. I realized the connection right after I cemented the name in my head and on the net! ---

Nocturne reminds me of two songs, one by Savage Garden and the other I don’t know. And for purposes of humbleness (and not wanting her to kick my ass) I ain’t saying either. And Tasha, if you say one word about “Oh Captain, my Captain” I swear I’m going to make you sorry:D ---

It’ an old Bossa Nova hit from the sixties, made popular by Stan Getz, I believe, and a Brazilian folk singer named Astrud Gilberto. You’re going to have to trust me on this one - it was pretty popular. ---
