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 figure that there aren't many bryan zeras out there, and I am probably the only one who gives a rip about the internet, so I'm not in too much danger of someone stealing my sweet sweet nickname.
