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.

My nickname was chosen as a child, and has no relation to Nova Scotia, UK banking, dance crews, rock bands of a non-game persuasion, and ambitious websites for fixing Nova Scotian public services that I can no longer find. I've gotten used to it, though, so I don't mind misspellings.

My imgur favorites are literally only animal gifs.
