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.
About my username: I was burning to become a MeFite after being a fly on the cyber wall for close to a year, I had to come up with a user name quickly in order to be part of the new member quota for that day, Beth was taken, Orange Swan was the first thing I thought of that sounded suitably catchy and unique. Little did I know there'd be an Orange Goblin registering at almost exactly the same time. Oh well. Orange Swan has become my internet name now, and swans have become my personal symbol/mascot. Perhaps sometime I'll belatedly manufacture a meaning for the name. Incidentally, contrary to popular belief, I am neither gay nor a man. And
this is not me, but an imposter.
About me and the internet: I was a late adopter for the Internet. I think I first cruised it sometime in 1998 or 1999. I don't remember any site having a particular impression on me. But I do often think of a childhood wish of mine for a magic book in which I could look up anything I ever wanted to know. My wish has come true, though not in any way I ever could have foreseen. Which is the way of wishes.
