So you may be thinking, "niceperson.org — that's a very egotistical domain name." You're right, it kind of is. But I don't really mean it like that. Let me explain.
Throughout my life I've not really ever felt that I was a very good, nice, or likeable person. Part of that is probably from the fact that I was the class scapegoat all through elementary school. But this isn't a sob-story. Eventually I made good friends, but I've always been a little bit difficult to get along with, and I've always known that, too.
In about May of 2000 I had a little argument with my now ex-boyfriend Kevin about whether I was a nice person or not. He said I was, but I maintained that I was mean and nasty. I mentioned this to another friend, Adrian Morgan, and he agreed with Kevin. To prove his point, he created a little image for my desktop wallpaper:
Anyway, when I was trying to think of a domain name, laurabelle.org etc. were taken, so I was at a bit of a loss. Adrian suggested laurabelleisaniceperson.org, which I scorned at first, but then it started to grow on me. It's not so much a proclamation of my niceness as a reminder of my friends who are nice enough to be my friends and to defend me against myself. Call it my vision, if you will.
