About

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 picked up the phrase from a website dedicated to Jacques Derrida in the early 2000s, when I had a high-school crush on PoMo theory. Though I have since come to my senses, the name remains. It's like the bicycle embedded in a tree 15 feet off the ground: I grew up and around it.
