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.
I started out as "Newt" ... I don't remember exactly when I switched over to using my real name. It just sort of happened. Then I got emmajane.net and I've been using my real name for everything ever since. How boring, eh? ;)
