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 came for the advice:
socialising
hangovers
prioritising
direction
having a bad day?
depression
identifying domestic violence

But I stayed for the comedy:
haikus
occupy
llamas
radiation
ducks
shakesperian!!
yahoo answers
bees
wasps in their pockets

I started regularly posting to the blue following the first JulyByWomen, after being hesitant to make posts. So happy I did this!
