mine's the same story. except i just got mad and mashed the number keypad.

The Pink Floyd album Pulse was released and I used the name to sign up for my first ISP account. I've been using it ever since. I added the 8 because pulse is usually taken.

I removed a few letters from my original AOL screenname. Your next question may be, what was that screenname, and how did you get it... well I'M NOT TELLING.

It's my real name. I don't know what my parents were thinking. I'd sure like to ask them if I only knew where to look.

I still remember them driving off in that VW Microbus with Hendrix playing on the radio after dropping me off at "Aunt Lucy's" house.
