What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Hello there. It's probably pretty obvious that my nickname is just a combination of my first and last name. Enough about that. I've been an avid user of the internet since around 1994-1995, when it first became available for public access at my school. Grand interest followed. Much like a lot of things. I jumped onto the weblog bandwagon a bit late. Then I found MeFi. I read the site avidly, but when I finally managed to drag myself to creating a user account, it turns out they weren't being accepted! So, patiently, I waited (running my own website on the side), and finally my day arrived. So, well, here I am.

What, you were expecting a thrill-a-minute?
