Is the 989 significant in any way?  Not really - whilst creating a hotmail account all those years ago - in work, when I wasnt supposed to - the sweat appearing on my brow told me to act hasty and pick something I was pretty sure was available...so I went for a high number with a palandromic vibe goin' on.  Pretty dull I'm sure - but the positive thinker in me feels theres many many tales of excitement and joviality to be had with one and alls utterings...where did your name come from?  (just to confirm - the name Im referring to is your SL moniker - not your name in real life.  In fact fuck it - if theres an exciting tale behind that also -  do tell).

lostpilot

Before I was "bored", now I am "lostpilot".

bored - I believe it's quite obvious what is the background to this. Yes, there were times that I was a Deftones fanboy. And I was mostly a bored de-motivated teenager.

lostpilot - I got it from The Out_Circuit song. Not because of the song itself - I really like  the concept of a "pilot which is lost". It's like a paradox. And it does define me in some sense - so why not.

My name.. my grandfather wanted to call me "Paul" (English-ized version). But my mom stood up and said no - he is going to be Darius. My name's origin is Persian and it means "the keeper of the goods". I can relate to that in some sense too. And we're not talking about material goods here :)

from_musings

i always wondered about the member name "deftones_161" what IS that number

Oldnewtype

I was into Gundam as a kid, wanted something easy so stuck "old" in front of "newtype".  Been using the name all over the net for years now.

My real name is Håvard which originates from an old norse name Hávarðr, meaning tall guardian. If you didn't know, now you know.

MommaBear

Cause I'm a mom and I would slit someone's throat if they ever tried to hurt my kids  - like a big, old mean Momma Bear would if you messed with her cubs.

sing blue silver

favorite part of the duran duran cover... i use it for a lot of things. it's either that or seaptown which is a misspelling of seppatown which is a made up pootie tang word.

Sushi-X

MxKnife - I was young and I wanted something deftones related to impress all the "cool" people here. Never really liked it.

Sushi-X - a character used by editors of my favorite gaming magazine EGM.
