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'm Amy. The "Scoop" part is from a nickname I used to have in college. It was kind of a journalism thing (as in, I'd get the scoop). The first thing I thought was cool on the Internet was that I could download guitar tabs. I did that for about six months, then got tired of it. I haven't picked up my guitar in over a year. I'm still using the Internet.
