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.

It's a weird confluence thing. My actual initials are C G C, and the day I got my first email account, through Earthlink 'cuz it came with my first personal computer, was the 3rd of July, 2003. I write dates using the YYYYMMDD format (actually I'm YYYYYMMDD 'cuz of the Y10K Long Now people but that's a real tangent), so in my world, it was 020030703, shortened, 373, which numbers map sequentially onto the alphabetical order of C G C exactly (c = 3; g = 7; c = 3). The coincidence was too much to pass up, so I went with it. Now I'm cgc373 pretty much everywhere I am on the web.
