MetaFilter

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.

Used to live in NYC, now I'm upstate.

I spend too much time playing MineCraft, and I did so BEFORE IT WAS COOL. :)

Somebody took my username on MeFightClub! :(

Still use emoticons even though they're not cool at all.
