Whew - this is way too long a survey to answer all the questions, and most of my answers wouldn't warrant a read. But here's a few...

My parents never seemed to be proud of anything I did. But I'm proud that I rose above.

I would like to have "the girls" surgically sent back up north where they originated.

I have had two black eyes, at the same time, along with a broken nose and a concussion.

Which leads to the next answer - yes, I have hit someone of the opposite sex. After I picked myself up off the floor. It was like hitting a brick wall, but it was still satisfying.

And... I want Leti's hair.
