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.

I am excited to join the intelligent conversation that I have read for so long. Hello!

The picture above is of me and my sweetie on Mississippi Ave, a couple blocks from our home. We found it randomly on the Neighborhood web page and adopted it.

I am signing up for secret quonsar and am so excited! More avout me -- I am deathly allergic to everything edible (except potato chips and coffee, mostly -- so no danger of me starving). I love to send and receive actual mailed cards, and odd art of all kinds. I like PG Wodehouse and Bach and the Sex pistols, as you could probably guess. I also love scarves -- any accessory, really. I am also overly fond of m dashes (m-dashes?) and semicolons.
