My roommate one year had a whole collection by the end of the summer. =========================== I stole chalk from my Latin class in HS. Every day I would take all the chalk on the sill and throw it out the window. The teacher would open a new box of chalk and I'd take it. He never figured it out. Blamed the other teachers. I had 24 boxes by the midterm, when he came to me and said "if you don't drop the class, im kicking you out." We picked up his desk and turned it around, moved it around the room - while he was sitting at it. His lunch always ended up out the window. My friend stole the midterm, and when the teacher found out, and made a new one, I stole the scantron sheets the day of the midterm.

What I've heard is simply that someone very close to him gave it to him. It's been speculated that this person in some way influenced or is remembered whenever Fruvous performs the Drinking Song because during a certain few lines Jian clutches it tightly. Isn't my business, if he doesn't want to offer the story I won't pry. re the blank rune: from one who used to read runes before graduating to Tarot Cards... the blank rune (Odin) represents (a sometimes monumental) change... wiping away old habits, old mind sets, old lifestyles and beginning anew. It is very literally the blank slate upon which one begins to write out the next chapter in their life. It imbodies the notion that Life is a Mystery, that the future is what you make of it, and that nothing is preordained. It parallels the Death Card in classic Tarot (or the Washer at the Ford in my Arthurian Deck). Of course, as with all "divination" tools, its subject to interpretation... and someone else might get an entirely different message from them.

Elin" Subject: The Rodney Elin Fan Club Newsletter issue 1 I'm sending this out primarily to everyone who has sent me email since September welcoming me back and I expect to use this method again so if you don't want any part of this mailing please let me know and if enough people voice their lack of interest I'll stop posting here Sorry for the impersonal nature of this message but with my therapy and other stuff and all I haven't had the time to write to each of you personally. To play up my already overblown ego you can think of this as the Rodney Elin Fan Club newsletter. Not to mention the trouble I have to go through and the time it takes to type a letter. With one hand Anyhow things are going pretty well for me these days. The good news is that my neurologist diagnosed what was causing me to pause unexpectedly in the middle of a sentences. It was a series of tiny epileptic seizures so he put me on this anti seizure medication, and I am speaking much much better these days with no more inopportune gaps in my conversation. If I didn't already tell you is that I have begun to recover a very little bit of motion in my left leg. I can bend my left leg about 70 or 80 degrees. My leg is still as weak as anything and it can't resist any pressure or lift anything with it. But I am still working on it. I have physical therapy sessions about twice a week at my local hospital. To bring you up to date I have to give you a little personal history. This gets only mildly detailed so if you easily get queasy at the thought of blood consider yourself forewarned. When I went to the hospital for my heart Attack the cardiologist was able to do emergency angiopasty to clear out my right coronary artery. He also was able to place a stent in the artery to prevent any more blockage from building up. Quick aside here, when I was being wheeled into the cardiac catheterization lab I gave the doctor my home phone number because I didn't want to scare or cause my mother to worry so I told the doctor he was only allowed to use the phone number in case of death. About three hours later when the cardiologist came out to give my friends Beth and Bob my parent's phone number he quoted my instructions and left my friends Beth and Bob to decide when and if to call home and he told Beth and Bob that they so far had to revive me with the defribulator five times so far. Beth and Bob figured that defribulating me technically counted as death, if only for a moment. And thus they were relieved of the instructions I left. Anyhow in late December my cardiologist had me come in for an angiogram (heart scan and the two arteries were showing quite a bit of re-stenosis in my right coronary artery and my cardiologist gave me two options, either angioplasty or heart bypass surgery. My father told me that five years ago if they would have found someone with the same level of blockage I would have been rushed off to emergency bypass surgery. So I went in for the angioplasty the following Tuesday where they insert a catheter in in the femoral artery in my groin and guide it up to my heart. To drill out the blockage with a very tiny drill bit. No balloons for me. I was too far gone for the balloon. Once they drilled out my artery they placed a new stent to help prevent further blockage. In six months or so I have to go in for another angiogram to see if there is any more build-up Fortunately I have no nerves on the inside there so I couldn't feel a thing. When they removed the catheter for some reason they weren't able to sew up my groin like the week before so I had to lie on my back with a literal sand bag keeping pressure on my groin for ten hours. I got to stay overnight and be reminded of the joy of that wondrous hospital food. Over the next week my groin continued to hurt and got very tender. It turned out that my femoral artery was bleeding out under the skin causing an aneurysm and when I went to see my cardiologist complaining of the pain he took one look at it and told me to go directly to the hospital for emergency surgery the next morning. He did leave instructions for them to use whatever pain medication it took to make me comfortable so they gave me demerol every four hours through an IV they started and let me tell you what amazing stuff that is. It left me feeling like I was floating in air. I now understand how people get addicted to demerol. Anyhow the next morning they wheeled me into surgery and I came out of the anaesthetic about an hour later also I quite a bit of pain though not nearly as much as the day before. My surgeon told me that it would hurt for at least three weeks and gave me a rather large prescription for Darvocet and Vicodan. I had another complication the next week when the incision site came open and left a gaping hole on my groin. Well, it probably wasn't gaping but it looked like it to me. We went to the surgeon and he glanced at it and said I should keep it clean and padded to keep the bodily fluids seeping out of my incision from ruining my clothes and he recommended that I use Kotex pads. And I should check back in two weeks. So my father made a trip to the supermarket and brought home a large box of Always panty liners (with wings) to keep me bundled in embarrassment for the next few weeks. Anyway during this time the remodeling on my bedroom was completed. My parents had a wall in my bedroom knocked down and built a bathroom in one corner with a roll-in shower . It is a fantastic bathroom, with tile all over and a marble covering over the sink and a heat lamp like in a hotel room. My mother is already drooling over my room and keeps asking me when I plan to return to DC so I can vacate my room. Anyhow I have since been showering in my own bathroom, the cost of which was about twenty thousand dollars and required another mortgage from the bank. And in the meantime my parents finally settled on which kind of industrial carpet to put down in my bedroom and the living room and had the carpet replaced. Now it is not like I am trying to wheel through mud in my chair Anyhow Now I can wheel straight into my bathroom and transfer to the toilet via a couple of well placed grab bars which has been a tremendous improvement on my quality of life (you really don't want to know how I managed before my bathroom was completed). That pretty much brings you up to date on the current events in my life. Oh, in other news My current Physical Therapist got me into a class of people who are taking a class on how to treat adults with hemipalegia, which is what I am affected with and so in exchange for a week of free therapy sessions I get to be a guinea pig for the students to practice on. And when I arrived at the class which is at a hospital down the coast in Encinitas I found that in a fantastic coincidence one of the students in this class is my old Occupational Therapist from Washington, DC. It was a surprise reunion of sorts and we spent most of the class just talking and bringing each other up to date with gossip and stuff.. However it looks like her schedule wont let her spend an evening at dinner or anything. At least we get to spend a week in the same class Anyhow I hope that brings you up to date. Take care, and I'm always happy to hear from you.
