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 am not very imaginative, so it's just my name. I also feel strange making up a name just for internet use; after all, if I met any one of you in a bar, I would tell you who I am and where I am from and so on. As to when I realized the internet wasn't just for freaks; well, I'm still not sure it isn't.
