In other news, I took it upon myself to strike up an IM conversation with
Sudden realization- in a few months, when I'm back downstate, I'll be "Roadkill" again. How I've missed that silly, foolish nickname.
History lesson:
When I joined cub scouts in fourth grade, the Den Chief (a boy scout who turned out to help run a cub pack), Shawn Marks, saw me, and decided to start calling me Road Kill. His reason? Because I looked like one. I thought that was great, and started getting everyone to call me that.
