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.

I grew up in Florida, moved to Los Angeles, and now live in London.

I chose this name a long time ago. I think I'd been reading a lot of Carlos Castaneda or some such nonsense. Anyway, I thought that mysticism was a real thing. As I said, it was a long time ago.
