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 here for a while, under the username sjuhawk31, but as I've signed up for new services here and there, I've transitioned to a number-free username, as tacking numbers onto the end of a name screams of AIM circa 1998.

Anyway, two of my stronger interests are movies and my alma mater's basketball team, who are called the Hawks. Cram them together and you get my username. I'm all sorts of creative.
