Everywhere is the place for poetry.

My name is very boring. A long time ago there was a website called Digg. Digg did stupid things with its design one day and got real shitty and lots of people fled over to Reddit. I did so, that day. I was "digg refugee." But on reddit, "refugee" of course was already taken, so I chose _refugee_. I only use this username on two websites, one is hubski, one is reddit. I suppose because they are similar in some intents.
