Reveal something totally unexpected about yourself - Shock and awe awaits - Don't powerlevel

I am affraid of motorbikes, and I refuse to drive one.
I've been a passenger, and they're a lot of fun. But you're literally sitting astraddle on a fast moving engine on two wheels, and the only protection you have are your helmet, boots and garments and sense of balance. Amongst a biker club I spent some time around, it was basically acknowledged that it was a dangerous sport no matter how careful or prepared a rider you are, and that you will be in a serious accident or terrifying near miss at some point. Many men that (I/we) knew rode for years before having 'the' accident, and then after that gave up their bikes for good.

So yeah. I enjoyed the times I was on the back of one, but I don't care to do it again, because motorcycle accidents are common and lethal. It is a perfectly reasonable fear.
 
I have become enamored to a borderline autistic (I'm throwing that word around a lot lately, but not without fitting context, I don't think) extent with all things related to trucking in the last couple of months, and this fascination is still going strong. And it much less revolves around the specific make of the trucks or anything of that sort, but moreso the life of a commercial truck driver.

At present, it's a very tantalizing career option, given personal circumstances.
 
I read a lot of books surrounding drawing perspective, anatomy and figure drawing than actually practicing drawing perspective, anatomy and figure drawing. It makes me wonder when the years go by and if I’ll be an expert at those things and when people tell me “Why don’t you become an artist?”, do I tell them ”No, I just like to do it as a hobby. It’s no big deal.”

Every day, I question if they will actually believe me.

I have given a golden shower to my cat twice on accident.


(He follows me into the bathroom. On two separate occasions he jumped over the toilet bowl while I was peeing, requiring me to give him a bath.)

The first time I held a gun was in military service, and, like a fucking retard, I shot without my glasses (cus the recoil would slam them into my face, damaging my face, or more importantly, the BCGs I had, and I wasn't about to risk a TI getting up my ass about that one Edit: In case it wasn't obvious, I was more retarded than I am now), still managed a 33 out of 40, putting me 2 points off of marksman. Had I shot while being able to see, I would be able to brag about being a qualified marksman without a single shot of practice.

Bonus, since that's a half-fact, I once had a car burst into flames around me, and steered it to relative safety during this.
