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 determined the Internet was God's gift to shifty loners like myself. I liked the Internet so much I married it. We fight a lot, mostly about class struggle and ferret videos, but I think the broken glass and pouting only brings us closer.

We have no children and a dog named OMFGSTFULOL.

In other news, I work in Vancouver's DTES with people who are hard-to-house, mentally ill, actively using and recovering, often with the same individuals spinning their wheels in all four states simultaneously. WIN!

Actually it's awesome. I like to go to work. That appears to be rare.
