About

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.

Current date for name change: June 8th. (cite)

I like the new interface, but I also like the old interface: AskMe, MeFi, MeTa

My username is just my name. I have always been painfully literal. My other website with less personal junk is librarian.net. I made a new portal of sorts at jessamyn.info, or you can check the Wikipedia entry for more

I am a moderator here, mostly in Ask MetaFilter. Use the flag feature if something's annoying you, but also feel free to contact me over email or IM if you've got questions, need a typo fixed, or if something is on fire.

"jessamyn is a wayward word-wench who never got over the fact that she was better at English than any of the boys in her class, thus scaring them away."

"If I should fall from grace with Jess."

"it's the legendary Hammer of Jessamyn that makes [AskMe] noise-free. Have you ever seen Ask when she's asleep? It's a viper pit of dumbassery."

"Let's face it -- god, love, and fucking are always going to be hot topics. Get used to it."

"Please stop the asshattery - love jessamyn"

"it's mostly jessamyn making the magic there."

I've been to MeFi Meetups in: Austin TX, Vancouver BC, Halifax NS, Portland OR, Portland ME, Boston, Seattle, Raleigh NC, Chicago, DC, Vermont, Monterey, LA, Austin, Melbourne, Sydney, Montreal QC, Regina, Saskatchewan, Marlborough and Northhampton MA and NYC. I like meetups. If I'm in town I'd probably like to come to yours.
