About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

"Mabel" was the name of the street I lived on when I first used Napster, and was the only username I could think of that wasn't already taken on the Napster list. Thus, it holds fond memories of stealing music, back in the dark days before allofmp3.
