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.

Notmtwain is short for "Not Mark Twain". I chose it 12 years ago when I was getting my first AOL account. I wanted a nickname as good as Mark Twain's and that's what I came up with.
