    I dress girly. I like pastel colors, love horses, and art. So imagine the looks on the faces of people when they ask:

    Person: "Hey, what sort of music do you like?"

    Me: "Metal. Have you heard of Blind Guardian, Jorn, or Iced Earth before?"

    Person: *Silent blank stare* "Wut?"

    People are often surprised to find out that I am not Jackie Chan's stunt double.

    I'm very forgiving, probably too much so, so people are often surprised when I'm done with them. I do have my limits!

    I grew up around the "wrong crowd" but I've never tried a drug besides alcohol and I haven't had a drink in years.

    Would you consider yourself more of a "tsunami of knowledge", an "endless abyss of intellect" or perhaps a "plethora of proven points"?

    That I'm completely deaf in one ear. From a childhood illness, so it's all I've ever known. Since you can't see that I'm deaf on one side, it's caused some misunderstandings in my life. Like when I went on a date and the guy sat on the wrong side and kept trying to talk to me during a movie and thought I was completely ignoring him. LOL.

    I once punched a fish to death.

    Honestly, I wasn't aware that punching fishes were part of a priest's job, but you just never really know nowadays.

    Typically it's left up to the Nuns. They love killing things, especially the hopes and dreams of little children.

    I like brownies 😏

    I liked them too when I was a boy-scout. Now that would just be wrong!
