What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it?

Marla Singer is the name of the woman in Fight Club.

Fight Club was a book before it was a movie. I saw the movie first and loved it, but found the book to be even better.

That said, I kind of hate that I picked this user name because it seems really dated now. Oh, well. I can still look down on the guy who named himself Aquaman.
