Triple play:
1. I've been playing video games since my grandmother, in her infinite wisdom, decided that computers were the future and bought the family a Commodore VIC-20 when I was around 3-4 years old
2. I've had 45 surgeries. 42 of them between the ages of around 4 months old and 18 years old. It was about as fun as it sounds
3. A few years ago, my friend got me, himself, my oldest brother, and his wife awesome tickets to see A Perfect Circle in Boston. I was, literally, about 3-5 rows from the stage, and with my wheelchair kinda sticking out at the end of the row. At the end of the set, Maynard James Keenan flashed me the peace sign
4. I have strong nerd opinions on Star Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Final Fantasy
5. Despite being a nerd, I could never get into Harry Potter or Dr. Who
6. One of my other buddies and myself almost got into trouble at UNH for harassing each other... we thought it was hilarious
7. Speaking of UNH, at the start of every fall semester, the local church drones swarm campus attempting to pass out pocket bibles. When one tried to do that to me, I replied "No thanks, your god broke my legs." His expression was priceless
8. I used to write fan fiction about my own AOL chat RP characters on the AOL forums... I'm total boyfriend material, eh, ladies?
9. I actually became atheist (or, more precisely, admitted to myself that I had always been an atheist) shortly after 9-11. It was the culmination of a lot of things, but the attacks made me re-evaluate myself and the world
10. I met and chatted with former Red Sox outfielder Mike Greenwell for about an hour at the hospital when I was in 8th grade. I was getting some pre-op x-rays done, and he was there because he hurt himself sliding into 1st base. The players used to go to Children's Hospital in order to avoid the media, who were stalking places like Beth Israel and Brigham and Women's. He told me that his wife was going to be pissed, because she was expecting, and this injury would likely impact his next contract. Got his autograph. Really nice guy, especially under the circumstances
