| I'm really intolerant when it comes to mushy foods like jello, eggs, some pastas, and anything else of that nature. I also can't eat bread, fruits and vegetables sometimes. |

I was a furry for a few years but I lost interest.

| I'm extremely attached to my childhood. I take comfort in stuffed animals, toys, and cartoons as they are a way to escape from how harsh the world can be. I only have good memories from online gaming though since it's all I ever spent time doing as a kid. |
