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 first shoutout ever--thanks to Ambrosia Voyer!
And a special mention for nickyskye* and madamjujujive, who've made this place feel more like home: how can I ever thank you?
