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've been a member in one form or another since April 2000. I originally signed up because the site was mentioned on Glassdog's GDRecs. It's a bit ironic that back then, Glassdog was my source for new and interesting links. Now that title belongs to MeFi.

It's been a long time and over the years, and through all the good and bad times I've had here, I've grown a mutual love and hate for this place. I'm sure the feeling's mutual. Except the love part, that is.
