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 live in Long Island and like comics, weird old things, and Veronica Mars, and drawings. I started using the internet when I was twelve to find out NetHack spoilers on the alt.nethack usenet group. Yes, I am a geek. While I can no longer play Nethack for fear of never getting away from my desk again, the internet has replaced it as my favorite addiction.

I like checking up on what artists are doing online- especially pop-surrealist Juxtapozers like Tara McPherson and COOP. I love how the internet lets artists diversify, show off their entire bodies of work, and hang out with their fans.

I also like really strong coffee, being lazy, and reading big fat books.
