What I was doing:

10 years ago: I was lying in a bed in the Peterson Cancer Ward dealing with post-op problems and contemplating the concept that I might well die before I reached 30.

Five years ago: I was on disability, and getting ready to go into dispatch at SuperShuttle.

1 year ago: Working at Cost Plus, and starting to think about a new job.


5 snacks I enjoy:
1. peanuts
2. cheddar cheese
3. chips and salsa
4. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
5. popcorn

1. Grateful Dead
2. Barenaked Ladies
3. AC/DC
4. Metallica
5. Jethro Tull

5 things I’d do with $100 million:
1. Giants season tickets. Club level, first base side.
2. Get a custom chopper built for me, and a trike for [livejournal.com profile] kshandra
3. Travel! I'd spend most of my time exploring the world.
4. Set up a trust fund for [livejournal.com profile] eleri and the Mighty Miri Mouse. Then pay for college for [livejournal.com profile] madelineusher and the other niece, who is too young to have a Live Journal.. yet.
5. Most of it would be invested in slow growth, secure instruments. Insuring that I'd be set for life. Live on the interest, never touch the principle, baby!

5 locations I’d like to run away to:
1. San Francisco
2. Morocco. Specifically Casablanca, where I'd set up a small cafe...

1. Writing
2. Watching sports
3. Net surfing
4. Running Podzilla
5. Role-playing games

5 things I would never wear:
1. Plaid.
2. Heavy jewelery. I'm just not into jewelery, and in my opinion guys with gold ropes around their necks and wrists look stupid.
3. Suit/tie on a daily basis. Shoot me first.
4. Those pants that hang low enough to show off your underwear. How this became a fashion is beyond me.
5. A garrison cap. Those things made me look like a dart.

5 TV shows I like: We canceled the cable to save money, so this is from memory.
1. Countdown with Keith Olberman
2. Law and Order

5 favorite toys:
1. PalmPilot
2. stuffed penguins
3. Podzilla

5. An old tennis ball. Hell of a lot of fun when you work in a big ass warehouse.

I got a cell today. Right now I'm restricting the number to a select few, because my time is very limited. After my next check, I'm dumping $20 into the account to both give me more time, and allow me to download some ringtones. My phone plays real music, and I was playing around on the Virign Mobile site. I have four primary choices for my main ring, and wanted all y'all's opinion.
