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.
The nickname comes from a misreading of James Merrill's "Lost in Translation":
How much of the sun-ripe original
Felicity Rilke made himself forego
I read it more times than I'd like to admit before I realized that 'Felicity Rilke' was not a name.

On July 2, 2010, I found out I have recurrent ovarian cancer. I write about it on the internet at alittlebitworse.wordpress.com
