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

I have a slow-growing fondness for making up KF/Lolcow-themed song parodies. Sadly, the only one I've completed proper is kinda garbage, but its a start until I get better.
 
I'm actually a really shy person. I know that might not be what you would expect from me, since I'm always so outgoing and seem like I have no problem talking to people. But the truth is, it's all just an act. When I'm around people that I don't know very well, or in situations where I feel out of place, I get incredibly nervous and tongue-tied. It's something that I've always struggled with, but over the years ive gotten better at hiding it.
 
I witnessed a cyclist get absolutely brutalized by a semi that was not paying attention. Shit fucked me up for a while. Seeing someone die (especially on that level) in person, as opposed to online, is on a whole other level.
I watched a girl fall under a moving train when I was about fifteen or so. Someone managed to stop the train before more than a carriage and a half went over her, but she was still alive when it stopped. Seeing her face as she went between the platform and the moving train, and hearing her wails for help after the train stopped really fucked with my head for a bit. These things tend to linger in the back the mind, and affect the way the world is seen.
 
I had a little side hustle in college where I’d buy a dollar pack of cigarette rolling papers, discreetly collect all the half smoked cigs in the ashtrays around campus, shred them to get the tobacco, reroll them and sell them to desperate smokers for a buck each. Made a pretty good amount of pocket money selling kids their used cigarettes back to them. Nobody ever questioned why I had a seemingly never ending supply of rollies
 
I met one of the guys who did Piccolo's English voice from DBZ, he was signing autographs at my school. I got his autograph but I was never a DBZ fan. In reality I wanted to meet him because he made the Academy Sports and Outdoors jingle.
