In high school I thought about being an air traffic controller. I hear there is a shortage of them now. I've always wanted to be a long haul trucker or a UPS/FedEx guy. Just drive around all day. It'd probably get old after the first month.

Instead I became a professional glue sniffer.

I could provide you a very self-deprecating description of myself, but instead, just don't be surprised if a random woman comes up to you and says "are you Ken?"

Hmmm. I might come down. I "discovered" this band back in 2001 (by sheer mistake). I've never EVER been able to see them.

MonoCerdo: tgabj tiy. The story is now posted.

Pinky: Cool. You'll have to find me, though, since I don't know what you look like, and it'll be weird for me to go up to a bunch of strangers and say "Are you Pinky?"

Hamster: June 4th. Are you going to be in town?

2) Splinter or die.

I have it, too, if you can't find it. Let me know.

Wow, Jen, I'm flattered. I'm sure I still have that story somewhere. I didn't think it was all that good, but since you've buttered me up, maybe I'll post it. :)

Definitely "splinter".

I believe you are a writer. Did you know that I am frequently haunted by the last line from a story you wrote and showed me a long time ago, possibly high school, probably college?

"It tasted terrible."

I wonder what might have happened if I had not become an engineer.
