Today is the actual birthday of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. She turned 85.
It seems some people don't understand why I have a constant fixation with royalty. Herewith a brief explanation of what I think therefore I am.
My real given name according to my birth certificate is: Regina Isabelle Atienza
My nicknames are mostly: Rina, Rinabelle, Eevilmidget
Why 'I rule': Er because my Spanish name translates as Queen Elizabeth in English. It's a sovereign in-joke. Using iRule on my twitter profile to nudge at the fact that technology is dominated by Apple, and that though i am only little, I still aspire to be great.
"I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king" - I am a historian who admires Queen Elizabeth I.
"I believe in the philosphy of a ruling class, especially since I rule" - It's a quote by Randal, a character in the Kevin Smith geek film 'Clerks'. I chose it because it alludes to my name, and it affirms the nerd core of my supposed intellectual snobbery.
So yeah, some people might still think it all pretentious, but it's my name, my life, my world, my blog, my writing.
Above all, to thine own self be true. Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
