I still have the notes, in fact... more long story... it became my nickname. I figured it'd work for a pseudonym [net, pen name], too. Obviously, I was right. I always am. But, you knew that.

Well, I suppose I shall tell you the origin of my name. Although, I think it's been posted before. It's a nickname from my younger days. My real name is Amy, and friends used to call me Amos. And then they started calling me Famous Amos. I've now dropped the Amos and lowered the F to f. It's now more of a symbol of my drive to be famous. But it's not capitalized because I'm just not there yet. But, I will be.
