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 obvious, I guess: I Am Not A Troll. It was pretty late when I registered and I blanked on a name. If I'm known on Metafilter at all, it's for
this comment fable that a lot of people seemed to like.
This guy didn't care for it, though.

I drive a cab in New Orleans and chaperoning vacationing MeFites around is the closest I get to a meet-up...if you're coming to town, send me some MeFi mail and I'll hook you up with a secret numerical code that, when entered into your cell phone, will contact me. Sorcery! Do try to get in touch before you're actually in New Orleans...I lead a complicated life and can't make any promises.

I'm currently serializing my young adult novel:
The Darling Budds
Please stop by. I think it's pretty good.
