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 like hockey. I like trains. I like Cicero. I also like Catullus, which is where my nickname comes from; he wrote 2 poems about his girlfriend's (Lesbia) sparrow. And then later he became an angry and bitter stalker, but I guess you can't have everything.

I also like very bad movies. I feel Clash of the Titans (the remake) is a transcendent work of genius, only matched by Driven. I am okay with the fact that I have no taste in this area.
