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'm an artist, photographer, library technician and art college grad drop out. "Word nerd" is the easiest way for me to explain that I worked with taxonomies.

I had a cranky twentysomething cockatiel! RIP Muff Muff <3

My nickname comes from being a former train nut - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Zephyr
