I am Cryo Boy, he who kept Antarctica from thawing out for one entire year. The coastlines of the world owe a great debt to me for the year 2003.
Now, I clean up the detritus of 50 years of science gone wild (less girls, more radiation and chemicals). All the benefits of urban exploring, but with a paycheck too! Some people hold signs and say "No Nukes!"; some few of us have actually helped dismantle one a nuclear weapon or two. I think I've done more good in that respect.
Erudite. Dangerous. Ecclectic. I approve of the adjectives I accumulated in 2004.
Adjectives for 2005: Uniquely experienced. Comfy.
In time, Filkultur will come to span the globe. The world will grind to a halt as it pauses to wonder where it put the things that were just over there before it sat down to watch that movie.
Thirty miles or so west, there is a witty, intelligent, beautiful and brave girl named Araina who took a chance on me. Bless her for it, as I love her too.
On September 16th, 2005, I totally ate whale. I punched it too for good measure.
On Friday, January 13th, 2006 I went inside of a nuclear reactor. Criticality alarms were not set off by my awesome.
Adjectives for 2006: scrummy, a Champion Act, and, most mystifying of all Shiny
