The real truth about my username.

Cockney - The fact that my special interest are all things, London

Rebel - I can become rebellious, when those special interests are violated

Hence the username CockneyRebel. :lol:

I know it's silly for a 35 year old, but I'm only what I am. It's a name that I will never grow out of.

Seeing as my 1st and 2nd choice of usename was taken, I'm shocked this one wasn't too. Why I chose it? I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with vampires...If you guess right I'll give you a cookie

It comes from a book called 'Archy and Mehitabel'. Archy is a cockroach that types the story of the alley cat Mehitabel by butting the keyboard with his head. In one part of the book he attempts suicide by jumping out the 5th floor window and floating up to the 7th. The book has no capitals because it's impossible for him to hold down the shift key. He does get excited in one section because someone leaves the CAPSLOCK key on.

Well... my name is Rachel. So my husband starting calling my Rachabella Psychadella, which became Rachabelle and then Bella. *grins* Sorry for the longwinded story.

The song/album by my favorite band, Pantera. Except it's nonplural (forgot the correct term) as I'm only me. Most of my usernames I like to keep in the form of a person or similar theme. Like another username I commonly use, "BadMoonReaper."

I used to listen to a radio program called "Music from the Hearts of Space." Thus, my user name!

A mixture of my initials, my old cat's name, and my age at the time I first made up the username.

My user name comes from Sephiroth, the antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, which is also my current avatar.

Mine isn't anything special, just a combo of bits from my first and last name.

Mine was meant to describe how I feel when on antidepressants.

Albirea = "female" version of Albireo, a star in the constellation Cygnus (the swan).

A pun on "mind's eye". It was the name of my failed Etsy shop where I was trying to sell my photography, jewelry and knitting to make enough money to continue doing photography, jewelry and knitting.
