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.

when i turned 17 two very bad songs were on the radio and MTV; "she's on ly 17" and "lisa lisa". you know the artists, i won't defile my keyboard by typing them. the 123 is just because just plain "lisa lisa" was already taken. maybe i should have done "plain jane jones" instead... hmmm. i'll think about it. i like the interwebnets because long long ago in a time far far away, there were books music tv and magazines. now there is this resource to ressurect retro good stuff that i am most fond of, along with some humor nouveau that i am willing to accept as kick ass. i can contact old friends, have a hoot hollerin good time, and pay my bills while my aerobics dvd plays in the background, just like all the other jimmy jet's out there. satisfied? hope so. 'cause that's all.
