Alright. Stuff about me. I don't really want to get into stuff people already know (me being autistic, some of my hobbies, etc.), so I'm going to try and have some...I guess "new" stuff would be the best word.

I am a Christian. Born and raised Roman Catholic to be more precise. Before anyone asks, no I am not one of those judgmental types. And there are a lot of things about the overall Church that I'm NOT proud of. That being said, I still think my faith works for me. Particularly when it espouses the values of being a good person, doing good and selfless deeds, and finding value in dark times. As such, I consider Blues Brothers to be one of the greatest Christian films ever made.

I had a fear of worms growing up. Can even pinpoint the exact moment when I developed it. Turns out when you're a little kid and you're watching Animal Planet and they start talking about parasitic worms that live inside your body, you get unbelievably paranoid and freaked out. Even with earthworms, that aren't even in the same family. Good news is that I've been slowly and steadily overcoming it and I'm in a much better spot today in regards to works than I was when I was a little kid. Turns out learning about your phobia and taking steps to address it does wonders.

I haven't talked about him a whole lot, but Asura from Asura's Wrath is one of my favorite video game protagonists. As somebody who's struggled with anger a lot both due to his autism and trying so hard to wrangle it in, there was something almost cathartic about his story. Mainly addressing how he only knew how to be angry, but not once letting his rage turn him into something he's not. I even started meditating thanks to him. That's how important Asura is to me.
