but that is of no particular consequence. It is just very late at night, is all, so I guess that is why I am pointing this out. I wanted Moineau, which means Sparrow, but someone had already taken that one. I think. It was a long time ago that I set up this name. And I really don't like things like Moineau2 and Moineau424, which is very often a dead giveaway about someone's birthday or something. Do you? I mean can you really stand that kind of lack of creativity? There is always another actual name available in some permutation, and one need not resort to numbers for the sole purpose of lending some erstwhile measure of uniquity. (Apologies to any Mike7 or Stacie314 who might happen along any minute now to read this load of dreck).

|}}That's a stray mark right there to the left, one I am not planning on taking the time to get rid of, so I hope you can deal. Okay, actually I did manage to get rid of the thing, by mistake, but then I put it back because it seemed silly to have this sentence here without that offending mark.

I have worked on a few Wikimedia projects, and by the way, I always want to not capitalize that, because I got my start at wikiHow and you can see that the w in wikiHow is not exactly a great big W. Oh dear.....I may have forgotten my password for a prior Wikiquotes name, so now you see me here. Under the name of Aigrette. Which means eagle. But I am going to look it up again soon, that old password, because I do have a place where I keep these things. Somewhere around here in this mess of a place. So I will be posting on Wiktionary again one day, under that other name.

== Background ==

My real name is not Aigrette, but my real name does have one or two of the same letters. I was born decades and decades ago in [[w:Europe|Europe]]. I moved to [[w:America|America]] after that, and I liked it pretty much I guess. So I stayed. Plus I was a baby, so yeah. About a year later, I moved to [[w:Maryland|Maryland]], and later to [[w:Durham, North Carolina|Durham, NC]]. I attended some schools not including [[w:North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics|NCSSM]] and graduated from THE rival of [[w:University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|UNC-CH]] a shockingly long time ago, with a major in [[w:French Literature|FrenchLit]] and later kind of got another major in [[w:Psychology|Psychology]] at yet a different school. So there you have it.

I'm always looking to photograph new stuff. Need something photo'd in Central North Carolina or Central Maryland? Feel free to provide me with an opportunity to photograph something interesting, and I just might do it. If I got any sleep recently, that is. Just check the history for the date of this edit, and don't plan on asking me later today. But next week might be okay.

As I read this, I do realize this writing has just a hint of a flip flavor to it. Did I mention it is really late at night? I will fix all this nuttiness up one day when I get back to looking at this page in the daytime when I am rested, like that'll ever happen. But I am not really expecting you to come along and read this page anyway, so I am just modifying someone else's edit code and having fun with it, while still managing to be completely factual. Have a great night. I hope you have been getting at least a little sleep before you came along snooping around people's dullsville Wikimedia Commons userpages due to that insomnia you can't seem to kick.
