a) You'd found me a few months before and it must've been something about doing tech support in the most inhospitable place in the world (excepting part of Kentucky) that was painfully entertaining. My nephew was a firefighter in that neck of the woods for a while and I remember thinking he had the worst job in the world and then I wondered....
b) Unfortunately you remind me a lot of my brother in that it sounds like you've gone through more pain already than most have in their entire lives, and up and down the spectrum that constitutes almost every definition of the word (the back pain in particular). It's enough that if I could I'd be flagging the Universe for unsportsmanlike conduct and giving you fifteen yards and a first down.
c) And you don't let it stop you. There would've been, like, five points along that timeline when I just would've laid down and waited for something to just run me over. I have no idea how you do it. I get tired just thinking about it.
d) Ha! You're the only person I know to try the Amazon Unbox. And, as we learned, there's a reason.
e) Assume that on your way back someone loses Alaska. Where do you go instead? Do you go back into IT? Try something different? Anywhere in the world.
f) The Kavorkian Scarf is you. I mean, I don't even consciously realize what the icon is anymore. I just see it out of the corner of my eye and immediately know who it is.

a) as much as i whined and moaned, the hardest part about that stint was blowing the sand out of computers. Oh, and playing Lego's with parts to get a couple machines up and running after our whole area got fried in a brilliant, white flash of boomy lightning.
b) Eh. I just complain alot.
c) I tried laying down and waiting for something to run me over. The bus that i hoped would smear me on the highway of life was full of people that picked me up and dusted me off. I wouldn't be where i am without those friends. And now i look at it this way: i can either lay down and die, or i can pick up, drive on, and overcome. It feels like the ultimate FU to whatever's got me down.
d) My laptop still shrieks with the voices of 10,000 demons from that experience.
e) ...lost Alaska? how do you lose something that big? Well, assuming Alaska just ceased to be (and i was not in it at the time), i'd probably wind up in Seattle with my sister, freeloading while searching for a job in IT. So yeah, that'd be a constant, at least.
f) Hah! Guess it'd help if i switched it up every once in a while, eh?
