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.

I live my life on the edge. The cutting edge.
Things are cut. With the edge.
Upon which I live.

Or, really, I live at home for the summer and am looking for something to occupy the long midnight hours before school starts again.

I have absolutely no idea what is going down on this metafilter site, but I love the concept of a big wacky place where everyone gets together and talks about everything. Every once in a while I want to get someone else's opinion on Thundarr the Barbarian, or Ender's Game, or Wishbone.
