Myths Of The Nines

Generally speaking, the "Nines" in Nikki Nines refers to the idea that standard measurements of availability can be misleading. This alone leads folks who hear me speak so call me a geek -- a name tag I wear with pride -- and believe that this is why I've named myself with the number nine.

But then there are the other aspects of my life which lead many to guess at the meaning of naming myself after a number. Some think that "Nine" is for my guns (9mm, the number in my collection etc.). Others think that it's the age I was when my mother died. A few think it's my adoration of Nikki Sixx which lead to my numeral naming. My choice to keep mum on my private life and my career requirements to do the same (my work also being the matter of choices made) leads to even more speculation...

Among other things, I've been accused of being an assassin (if I were, could I admit it?), a model, a bounty hunter (or other hunter/tacker), security detail for celebrities (with my love of music and musicians, typically in said industry), an IT pro, an (unsuccessful, reclusive) artist, a lawyer, an anthropologist, and a criminal profiler.

I'll neither confirm nor deny any of this. I merely point it out to say that the myths of Nikki Nine are plentiful -- and to illustrate that nearly every guess (& its explanation) has to do with intimidation and/or a "lone wolf" personality. Just varying ways of saying I'm unapproachable, even in the underground circles I travel. And this is rather my point -- why I'm about the nines.

The measurements of availability can be misleading.
