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.

pejamo is a splicing of my full name. I've been using it as my nickname since I first found my way to the internet in '96. Originally, I found the internet to be the most wonderous advent in the art of meeting girls since the convertible. I've modulated my views somewhat since then. But I still don't own a convertible, nor do I have cable - but I sure as hell have broadband.
