About

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 want to shower you with sugar lumps
and ride you over fences
polish your hooves every single day
and bring you to the horse dentist



FAQs

Tarumba, xxxx comment is really confusing and I am not sure what you meant. Were you high when you wrote it? .

Maybe. It could also be that English is not my first language. I took English in school, but I never had to actually use it IRL until 2009. I have enough command of it to communicate well in everyday situations, but complex or emotional ideas can be hard to convey sometimes. Plus my brain defaults to Spanglish when I'm tired.

I wrote you a message ages ago and you never replied. What gives?

If you have sent me a message in the past and I didn't respond - I am really sorry. A combination of me being a procrastinator and shy in one-on-one interactions prevented me from replying to most of the messages I received until recently.

If you want to send me a message now, however, I promise a reply will arrive as quickly as… something that takes a little time but no longer than a week, or two at worst. I can't think of anything. Maybe a small parcel from EBay if the seller is in the same country and you paid for 1st class shipping. I will change this as soon as I think of a better simile.
