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.

In high school I played the guitar (poorly) - and listened to the blues. A lot of old bluesmen had interesting names, Like Muddy Waters or Blind Lemon. I combined those two and came up with muddylemon sometime in the mid-nineties. I used it for my aol account back then, and it's lingered on since then, and so I can be reached at muddylemon@ pretty much anything at this point.
