    995, because...

    (# of consonants in my username)*(year I joined NBR) - {(# of vowels in my username)*(day of year I joined NBR) + [e^(i*pi)]} = 9995...which is 995 OVER 9000!!!

    Since you hate math, here is one for you:

    I pick 523 for the letters 5 (E) and 23 (W) for Eric Weisstein, who is in charge of Wolfram Mathworld, which contains over 9000 mathematical entries.
