Post a random fact about yourself.

@Skwint I don't get it. why were you in a relationship with a woman that hit you for 6 years? and if you were in a relationship for 6 years, how did she get pregnant with someone else's baby while you were in a relationship with her?

Well, I feel like I should follow the current trend of sad stuff... I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at 12 years old, and been living with it ever since. It was awful for the first 4 years while they tried to find a treatment that works for me, but since they put me on the right medication, I've been mostly fine and been able to live a mostly normal life.

I work as a substitute teacher. I love it when a class decides they are going to have a little "fun" with the sub. I am old and know how to turn that table over pretty damn quick.

This recollection made me laugh:

the rural man & russian priest

The other evening, my priest told us a story about this time when a really rural man, who had no knowledge about Orthodox Christianity attended a Paschal Liturgy (Eastern Easter Service; 10:00 PM to 1:00 - 2:00 AM). At one point during the Liturgy, the Priest joyfully and exuberantly declares, "Christ is Risen!" or in my priest's case, "Khristos Voskres!" complete with bells ringing and so forth to announce as previously stated that Christ is Risen! The congregation respectfully (and merrily) replies, "Voistinu Voskres!" or "Indeed He is Risen!" to each time he calls out, respectably to the proper language being used.

This happens for roughly five to ten minutes (?). Sometimes, the Deacons take turns for the Priest. Depending on the parish and traditions, the clergy will use a plethora of different languages, which can be quite silly and funny and exciting despite the octoechos system still dominating the tone of everyone's mood. (Also, it is in the middle of the night; and we have all been trying to be vegan for the past 40 days; and the melatonin is making us delirious; and we have not sat down for what seems like hours; and if we did take a sitting break it was a mistake; and how many Americans know how to properly call out "Jitsu ni Fukkatsu!" in the middle of Church without sounding expletive?)

However, this time was much funnier. When the time had come for my priest to say, "Khristos Voskres!" to the congregation, he hears an interruption, through the Russian "Voistinu Voskres!" responses, of a rural man shouting at the top of his lungs, "Yeehaw!" And, each time my priest would declare, "Khristos Voskres!" or "Christ is Risen!", he would hear a rural man with a really Western draw reply with other alternate rural exclamations such as, "Praise be to God!" and "Woo Hoo!" Needless to say, my priest was extremely confused and slightly taken aback and also a little more than quite offended. (The Divine Liturgy is supposed to use the highest and most proper form of a culture's language, gosh darn it all!) After Liturgy, my priest asked the rural man what he was thinking and why he was shouting those things, and the man said that he had no idea what anyone was saying and thought everyone was really happy and wanted to shout exciting things, too.

TL;DR — A cute and funny story about when everyone finna be proper in Church, and some random guy is in the back (like Saint Symeon the Fool with his sausage and mustard necklace) innocently and earnestly shouting off-tuned hick wordage and accidentally disgruntling the serious-minded priest.

@DreadAs a veteran, I find this very amusing.

[Briza]

Dread is spelled with five (5) letters.

[Gunther]

Gunther is spelled with (5) five plus (2) two letters.

[Briza]

And five (5) plus two (2) equals seven (7), and seven is spelled with five (5) letters! Hooray!

I do not appreciate being stared at and it inherently makes me hostile to the offending party. This oddly carries over to even smaller sorts, where children dare to, even younger ones. There is something about being seen and watched that is deeply unsettling, no matter the kind of visual fixation employed. So I make it a point to not generally be seen and move with a practiced, calculated sense of purpose, as well as not linger anywhere unneeded.

[Meliant de Lys]

I like staring at people.

I'm going to the movies tomorrow.

I have a 98% percent chance of moving this year.

Mysteries have been and probably still are favorite genre. Been considering writing one for myself, just past the conceptual stage. (Though one laced with dark tones and sarcasm, my other favorite things.)

That's right three facts, because I love you people, and don't question that one.

Questioning it.

It's currently 1:49 am. I haven't slepy in what feels like a lifetime. Send help.

[Gunther]

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! I don't care if you look at me. Reciprocally speaking, I enjoy looking at people.

[Crusade]

I'm a very diffident individual, to the point where I miss out on enjoyable life experiences. For example, I had the opportunity to meet a member of the band Korn, but didn't work enough confidence to speak with him.

Wow, that's kinda depressing now that I think about it.

I got into Monster Hunter this past Summer because of my boyfriend, and I'm very happy about that. It's now one of my all-time favorite series. ^^

I have spent a portion of my life memorizing all the extant felids, in lineage no less, as well as their taxonomic classifications. This treasure trove of information has the side effect of creating oddities in reading them or viewing them as consequence, however. For example, I can no longer simply attend a sanctuary or reserve and not see a marbled cat and think to myself "Ah, Pardofelis marmorata, of course."

I want a goth yandere boyfriend or girlfriend reason I say both is because I'm bisexual!
