About

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.

The idea of naturalog as a screen name occurred to me during Algebra II in the 8th grade, when I discovered that natural logs were written as ln -- which is, of course, pronounced like my name, Ellen.
