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.

Why my nickname? - Who doesn't like Molé sauce and/or Portmanteaus?

I'm in my mid-20s, and am fairly obsessive about rhetoric and media studies, obscureish music, even more obscure television/film, gender politics, information science/human-computer interaction/digital rights, and reading about the aforementioned subjects. (My Goodreads list is more eclectic than I'd like to admit.)
