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.

I really like internet comics. Some favourites:

SFW
al'rashad: fantasy world at war
bad machinery: pre-teen detectives
copper: my favourite echo of Calvin & Hobbes
hark! a vagrant: sarcasm about history, fat ponies
incidental comics: architecture, love, work
namesake: fairy tales gone wild
sailor twain (now finished): mermaids in the Hudson River, steamboats, charcoal drawings
strong female protagonist - superheroes debating who will watch the watchers
wormworld saga: childhood daydream adventure
xkcd: nerd jokes

NSFW - SWEARS
questionable content: indie coffee nerd jokes

NSFW - NAKED BODIES SOMETIMES
i do not have an eating disorder: non-fiction journal comic, amazing, lgbt, anorexia
