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.

From a certain Chinese Encyclopedia, the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, in which it is written that animals are divided into:

1. those that belong to the Emperor,
2. embalmed ones,
3. those that are trained,
4. suckling pigs,
5. mermaids,
6. fabulous ones,
7. stray dogs,
8. those included in the present classification,
9. those that tremble as if they were mad,
10. innumerable ones,
11. those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush,
12. others,
13. those that have just broken a flower vase,
14. those that from a long way off look like flies.


Not a furry, just a lover of animals, humanism, and Borges. I'm usually a cross between #6 and #13.

Ever since I got a job as a therapist, I've stopped using Ask.Me as my unofficial training grounds, which is why I've more or less vanished. However, I always like MeMail, and still enjoy the occasional child-rearing question or recipe hunt.
