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 real name is very unusual. And yet somehow, it's already in use here (and everywhere else on the net-- hey, everyone quit using my REAL name as your "weird" net handle).
Anyway, I just use it backwards on line. That way I don't forget it.
