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.

An old boyfriend's mom used to call me "megnut," and so when I decided I shouldn't be hogging the hourihan.com domain for my personal stuff (my cousins wanted in on the action), I registered megnut.com and moved over there.

First started with the internet long ago with gopher in college. First started with the web in 1995. Blair #3 was one of the first things I saw that made me go, "fuck yeah! I'm doing this too!" I'll never be as funny as the boys from Blair.
