Ouch!

oh yeah Mae has reminded me of the broken spine. whoops. forgot about that.

Man that is pretty bad! How did that happen?

My friend broke his spine years ago and he still has problems with his back today.

You know, I can't say for sure. It could have been any one of a number of things. It's not like my back started in a good place; there were concerns as to whether I would be able to walk at all as an infant. But lo, I walked and then some, up unto the point where I fell into a concrete pit. I would say this is probably the most likely event where the break occurred, but again, I've had intense back pain every day for my whole life so I don't really know what the magic moment was.

Haircuts, shaving, messing up of hair, glasses, expressions. I like to think that I'd have been a half decent actor as my face is quite uhm... rubbery? I guess? I don't know the word. You know, when you can move parts of your face around a bit more than other people... flexible? I don't know.

You had elastic, animated, evocative. You had expressive, versatile, malleable. But you chose rubbery.
