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

As of today, I am officially an owner of two guns.

In addition to the Ruger 10/22 I bought a while back, I now also own a Raven MP-25.

I visited my grandparents for Easter weekend and also got to see my Dad since he lives in the same county, and we went to a pawn shop where I was able to get a Raven MP-25 in fairly good condition for $35 USD.

Yes, the pistols made by Raven Arms are of generally poor quality and are one of the iconic "Saturday Night Specials" along with Rohm RG's revolvers and the infamous Lorcin L-22, but given the low price and the surprisingly decent condition it was kept in when I bought it, I decided to buy it as a curio and a keepsake.

Given that it's a low-end throwaway gun that is at least as old as I am (and probably older), I don't really intend on taking it out to the range and firing it any time soon, but I bought it because there's a bit of a personal connection I have to it.

My Dad used to own a Raven MP-25 back in the day and it was one of the first guns I ever fired back when I was twelve years old. The Raven MP-25 was the second gun I ever shot, the first was my grandfather's Ruger Single Six that he bought back in the 1970's when my mom was a baby.

I used both guns that same day for my twelfth birthday. We lived in a hollow in the middle of nowhere so we could literally go out in the yard and go target shooting without any legal issues, so we went out in the yard and my parents and grandparents decided to teach me how to shoot, using empty soda cans as target practice.

I'm sorry, but :jaceknife:

I almost flunked out of college because I was the typical "coast by on being slightly intelligent and never having to do real work" smug dipshit. That, and depression.

I can't tell if I'm coasting by on being slightly smart, am actually smart, or am a dumbass who thinks they're smart.
I feel like a complete idiot a lot, but keep receiving accolades. I have no idea whose bar is set too low--mine or the world's. Maybe I just hang around a lot of barely-literates so being slightly literate will make people flip.
And I'm also depressed.

I have a weirdly high tolerance to alcohol even though I only started drinking fairly recently. I’m also apparently immune to getting hangovers no matter how much I drink.

My family has a lot of drunks in it, maybe it’s some weird evolutionary thing.

Yeah, you're genetically disposed to alcoholism, so be careful. I was like that too, early on, but I quit drinking altogether after a few years. It hadn't become a habit for me or anything, but I also have a ton of alcoholism in my family, so, that's a scary road to go down. I could get flat-out plastered and just be fine the next day. I could even remember what I was doing, for the most part. No puking, no hangovers, I always drank water so I was fine.

And then last year, I drank half a small bottle of cheap wine and threw it all up. So that talent of mine is gone, for better or worse.
