    Mine came from high school...one of my friends wrote me a note but misspelled my name Katie --> Kaet (I'd probably diagnose her now with dysgraphia) and it stuck. I added my middle name and voila!

    It's just the name I always use for usernames :) I want to change it though lol

    Same with me. Ever since that Drake guy started making music it's been a pain in my bum.

    I picked it because of the scene from Mystery Science Theater 3000 where they making leading man names for movies using monosyllabic first names and a hard substance for the last name, ie Drake Tungsten or Brock Tilefloor.

    Drake Tungsten stood out for me. For some reason something I signed up for needed more characters than Drake so I added Big to the front as one of those things where you call big people Tiny, well I'm short-ish so there you go.

    Mine's rather boring.

    Rockaholic because I can't get enough of classic rock and punk. I've been playing guitar now for...(gulp)...17, 18 years in March.

    Mama because I'm the mother of two girls.

    My Dad used to call me Lucybell when I was little. I guess it's a little confusing - I think most people assume my name is Lucy Bell! (It's actually Leanne!!)

    I'm a movie buff, especially classic monster movies! While I love Boris Karloff, my favorite Frankenstein monster was played by Glenn Strange (who later went on to play Sam the bartender on Gunsmoke). I simply mixed Strange and Frankenstein.

    I am the youngest girl out of 6 siblings, thus the princess. PB is a joke, my dad used to call all us kids 'mutts' and I decided I was a 'purebred'. Thus the pb.

    My nickname is Pookey and "ism" means a belief or creed, doctrine, or art of being - hence Pookeyism - the art of being me!
