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.

the nickname is something I started using about fifteen years ago, back when you still had to read your email down the phone to people, and I thought it was so much fuin to say "That's all one word" that I might as well say it twice.
