I had the song (you know...zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-a, my oh my what a wonderful day.....tra la la....) in my head when I registered. Unfortunately I get it stuck in my head far more these days now I'm reminded of it so often!
I kept trying to think of a user name but got a complete mental block. Then I read a book that mentioned Aprilis is Latin for April. I was born in April and registered with AB in April so it seemed appropriate.
i have been using it since college back before AOL and yahoo and all that - all we had was dummy terminals with black background and green text - IRC (good ol' days :D)
My names derives from Lula a nickname of Lucy and Bubble is what my family have always called me because I was so fat as a baby I looked like a bubble!!!

My actual first name is Harry
mineis boring 'fraid: just the name which people call me irl.
NACL: Im an ex irc-er too. Thought I was lizzythe1st when I was doing that. Had a whole bank of green screens that we used to hog in the lab too for our mud games and general spodding. In the days when the Uni system would be down for hours at a time and the lag monster used to hijak the connections so that altavista took about an hour to find anything for you.....and ircing "lag lag lag lag lag" so that people knew you weren't ignoring them....My favourite irc I think was called crossroads and my favourite mud game was TCZ.
those WERE the days.
I just worked out what Dan Glebitts name is! I had to say it out loud though to realise!! mine's a combo of first and second names - used all through my life!
