The name Ceruleanlobster
Since I was writing this out for a band that e-mailed me on Myspace (All Mighty Whispers--I'm in their top 8!),
My e-mail address--it's a very funny story. I first started using the internet in '94 (I taught myself!) and a friend of mine was helping me set up this e-mail address. We were very drunk and it was very late. I couldn't think of any name I liked, but then I decided I wanted "cerulean" because it's my favorite color. So we looked it up, and it was used. We looked up "ceruleanblue" and "ceruleangreen" and they were both used also. This went on for a few hours. Finally my friend got exasperated and just screamed "For God's Sake!!! Pick a name, already!" and I screamed back "Okay, for God's sake! I pick ceruleanlobster!!!"

ETA: I'm very fond of relating the story about how I set my stove on fire three times in the same year in the early 90's.
It's not so funny when it happens again in 2006. It didn't catch on fire, but I did leave water boiling for 20 minutes. Oops.
