I am so bumping this. I know there are at least a handful of new dogs since the last post was made, and some of these stories are truly inspirational.
mine...not so much. for a long time I had the chronically nerdy hobby of making new e-mail accounts, just to see which words hadn't already been taken in their virgin form. it sort of spilled over into making accounts for message boards, and I ended up with din. I like it, it's a loud noise, it's short, it's easy to remember. it's stuck with me for a while, on fountain pen forums, shaving forums, climbing forums, and now knife forums.
