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.

Daq.
Short for Daquiri.
Morphed in D.A.Q., acronym for Don't Ask Questions.
Morphed into Daq42, because Daq was taken (other places, net-related).
Morphed back to Daq. Because it's easier.
That and my best friend gave me the name, one strange morning, because he and my other room-mate at the time were having fun with chemicals and said I looked like a strawberry daquiri the way I was lying tangled up in my red sheets.
Stranger things have happened.
