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.

Ljubljana is the little-known, little-populated, altogether little capital of the Alpine republic of Slovenia. Originally a Roman town, its present name stems from the Slovene word ljubezen (love).

According to Greek legend, Jason founded the city during his quest for the Golden Fleece, after slaying the original occupant: a dragon with a hankering for Argonauts. That ill-fated dragon has since been incorporated into the city, and appears on the coat of arms, as well as on the appropriately named Dragon Bridge.
