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.

My first name is Will and my last name starts with a P. So I started going by willpee on various boards and on IRC. On the whole, I found that I got far too many pee-oriented chat requests with such a nickname. willpea was taken on a site that I used to frequent, and willpie seemed like the next best thing. It has since morphed into a real-world nickname. How exciting.
