Did I ever tell you that as a child I always wanted to go to Disneyland?
I would pester my parents, but they kept saying we couldn't travel that far "because of my sister's oblitgations". I hated her for that. I hated her so much.
I bet you know what that's like, in fact, I know you do. It keeps you awake at night, that anger that you can't let go of. All because someone drilled into your head a sense of inferiority. It isn't that the other person is better than you. It's that the situation helps you convince yourself that they might be, and you're deathly afraid that they are.
Knowing what you dealt with awhile back really helped me put things in perspective. It helped me make peace with that part of my past, because I realized that my sister was never the enemy. There are other people to blame for creating that situation, but I also blame myself for not even trying to do anything about it except act like a spoiled brat.
But your situation is different in many ways... it's almost the opposite actually. Although from what you've told me, maturity was neither of your strong suits (so at least we have that in common). Still I know that how it all played out left a really bad taste in your mouth that you'll probably carry around for the rest of your adulthood (the same way I held onto mine to the point where it almost ruined what little childhood I could cling to). And yes, you can at least feel better about blaming yourself for the mess you got yourself into because a lot of it was actually your fault. (I may suck at sympathy, but writing it out really does wonders for my own issues lol).
However, there might be an opportunity for you to resolve some of these feelings that you are still carrying around, or at the very least settle the score. I'll tell you more about it in a few days, once I do a little more research, because I want to be absolutely sure, plus there's another pressing task at hand that needs to be dealt with, once and for all.
I don't want to ruin the surprise, and you shouldn't get your hopes up yet, but I will tell you this much> We're not going on vacation, and no one is going to Disneyland, but if what I suspect turns out to be true, well.. it damn well proves that it's a small world after all.

I sent an offical "OPDATE" to OpAphid with all the information so far, here, including the Chain Reaction address.
Now we need to find out:
1. What does the note (encrypted file) mean?
(See Sphinx above post, thank you Sphinx!!!)
2. Why the constant John Cusak references (IE: Better off Dead, in T's profile).
3. What's the significance of the Chain Reaction address? Is it the local of the next drop? And is this the correct movie? It could be Johnny Pneumonic or Point Break.
4. We have found out that the Hex Code was a Key/directions on what to do with the message, but we don't know what exactly it meant, except it told us it was a "love letter" that needed to be hexed twice to read. We still don't know the significane of "20,000 miles" or Base 36/34".

POint Break was 1991, though...not really mid-90's. When I saw the KLMNO thing (a chain of letters)...and saw the Chain Reaction was from 1996...it clicked.
ALSO, according to imdb, the working title for Chain Reaction was Dead Drop
And there WAS an actor with the last name of Cusack in that movie...Dick Cusack....yes, father to John Cusack.

Chain Reaction in Anahein is a CONCERT VENUE, an all-ages music club.
But, hey....I totally suck at solving stuff like this.
