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 walk under water, make mountains into mole hills, and have high double standards. I take time to enjoy the futile things in life. I am the patron saint of lost causes."

Anyway, I'm still here lurking...
