Bubbles? Why you ask?

I have had many many people ask me "why Bubbles?" So I will tell you the short but true story of how I got the nickname Bubbles. It started in grade 8 when I became interested in "Bulletin Boards" for those of you who don't know what that is I will briefly explain. Bulletin boards pre existed the Internet but were somewhat similar, they were other computers that your computer called when you hooked up a simple phone line into your computer and you punched in the number and pressed send. These were like chat rooms, some had games, while others were strictly chat. Well as all of you know, in a chat room you need a "handle" most didn't use their real names. I was always ..... and it became boring, i had no idea what to call myself, i was hoping for something cool and unique but could never come up with anything. One afternoon while hanging out with my friends who also shared a passion for these bulletin boards decided to dial up and chat to some of my friends in Oshawa. I was always a happy excitable person but there was one thing that really set me off and it was that "OUR COMPLIMENTS COLA" it makes me very hyper and bubbly, so ever since that day my friends called me bubbles...and it stuck for the remainder of the time i chatted on these boards and then followed me to the Internet, it had become a part of me........sad but true all it takes to put me into a world of laughter is a cheap cola beverage. Not a spectacular story but it is a story, and an answer to the question that pops up every time someone emails me or reads my blog :)
