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.

My nickname comes from having stone eggs, eggs made out of rock. I've got quite a few now, my family keeps giving me more as presents. The best one is probably the pyrite, fool's gold. The outside is smoothed into a nice egg shape, but the parts inside the egg shape haven't been tampered with, and they're these pretty little crystals. Contrasting that with the smooth metal outside makes it a very awesome egg.

21 is one of my favorite numbers.
I got here from ratbastard.org, so long ago that I can't delete this out of my profile or I'll forget.

And I lurk, here at metafilter. I don't go away, but I hardly ever say anything. I'm friendly, but can never think of anything to say. If you want to say hi, feel free.
