1. If I was born a girl, my name would have been Elizabeth. I know this with 100% certainty because my parents thought I was a girl up until the point I was born.

2. I have lived in 9 different states.

3. From 4th grade until I was roughly 20 years old, I moved at least once every year, mostly in and around San Diego county.

4. I have almost died a dozen times from random and bizarre circumstances.

5. I was named after my great-great-grandfather on my mother's side.

6. I am significantly Polish on my mother's side of the family, significantly German on my father's side, and Native American on both. I also have some English and Irish in me.

7. I did not know where I was born until I was in middle school.

8. I frequently think about my mother's death without shedding a tear but whenever I think about my cat Kirby I get fairly emotional.

9. I have a tendency to purposely burn bridges every couple years in order to prevent people from getting too close to me. There is no real reason to this, and it is pretty stupid because I later regret doing it, but I cannot help it.

10. Despite the image that I present anywhere on the internet and in real life, I am actually severely depressed and hate myself to an almost obsessive degree. I used to fantasize about committing suicide but never went through because I was afraid of what people would think, specifically family and friends, if I failed. Nowadays I do not actually want to die, but I still think about it from time to time.
