My NA ID, s01101111s, was borne out of frustration. The various names I was inputting at the time were constantly being rejected!

Being far too impatient and somewhat upset I decided I’d use numbers, figuring it was unlikely someone would have a numerical combination. I further decided to make it a bit of a puzzle or riddle (relating to my frustrating experience in securing an ID).

Unfortunately that ID doesn’t easily make for the shorter, faster nickname that we like to use for each other (unless you solve it). Fortunately most of my Home friends just call me Trill and that works well I think.

Trillian is from Tricia McMillan and the brilliant mind of Douglas Adams.

My dolphy in Japan are named Beeblebrox, Marvin and DONT PANIC. My Japan ID is Maunto-Miji, which I have some regrets over…what was meant as an homage to Mount Fuji turned out a tad different. Maunto is the Japanese romanization for Mount and Miji is phonetically similar and incorporates my last name’s first letter. However, native Home Japanese may just think the silly gaijin didn’t know their grandest mountain’s proper name or that it’s some sort of sexual reference. But I’m fine with it, mostly.

Turns out I should have Googled it. “Bayern” has a great football (soccer) team & this person thought I was another fan. We got that straightened out, no, we’re not now lovers nor even Friends. Most people who have any recognition of it simply ask if I’m German.

So much for careful planning and forethought. LOL

The “Ms” was a title granted to me by our Eastern European housemaid several years ago. I felt that it had a certain cachet to it when I was 12. In hindsight, I think she had a more sardonic implication in mind. I can still laugh about it in a self-deprecating sort of way.

Fun article.

My name’s very obscure, thankfully obscure enough I can take it with me nearly everywhere eg singing up for gaming sites, social networks etc. Though I’ve noticed quite a few “Krazys” poppoing up in the last couple years!

It’s a reference to my lost best friend. Whenever we ended up talking to strange drunk people (that’s not difficult in Scotland) he’d usually say something like “Maaaan, he was krazy-in-the-face-drunk!” I found this hilarious the first time and it became a running joke with us.

Now it’s just kinda me…

I actually signed up on PSN the first hour of its existence to be sure that I was able to secure Gideon for my PSN name. Most assume my name comes from Scott Pilgrim or Criminal Minds. Mandy Patinkin is the man (Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.)

Bcos my foes know sickening I am on my dirt bike in MotorStorm Apocalypse!

The Hawaiians I meet in Home usually figure it out and start asking if I have any pupus to share. (Aunties are known for having snacks and cookies for the keikis). So every Hawaiian keiki (child) knows they can mooch pupus off every Tutu in the neighborhood.
