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.
My nickname is pretty self-explanatory, in as much as it is my real name. The spelling is a little odd, but you know, they give new mothers a lot of drugs, which I think explains that quite nicely.
As for the internet thing, I've used it for years, and I'm not entirely convinced it isn't just a place for freaks. It's probably a good thing I'm reasonably fond of freaks.
