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.

Growing up, I always wanted to be Princess Leia.

When I was in high school (all-girls catholic school even), us unpopular girls tended to band together in a pseudo-goth group. So, when leaving the house to go out to a dance or other school function, I dressed all in black with lots of black eyeliner and dark lipstick. My dad commented one day that I "looked like Darth Vader with lipstick."

Ms. Vader (or some variant) has been my online persona since I first ventured into this great world wide web.
