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 got my name from the pill-popping, hallucinating, Mormon wife in Angels in America:

"Nothing's lost forever. In this world, there's a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead. At least I think that's so."

I like white wine spritzers, Peter Serafinowicz, miniature Dachshunds, Anthropologie, digital engagement, and hot ladies.
