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.
someone sent me a code to start a livejournal 3 years ago when i was still in college and didn't know about message boards and livejournals and blogs and things. i needed a name. i was reading "Sometimes A Great Notion" by Ken Kesey. the book was on my desk next to my computer. i used agreatnotion. it's been my nick ever since.
and no, i am not ashamed of keeping a livejournal.
