- I turned down a lunch date with John and Yoko.

1. In high school during football practice I fell over in pain. It felt like someone super kicked my nuts. I was carried to the nurses office and the nurse asked me what the problem was. I told her I was having scrotum problems, not really trying to be a smart ass, but you tell an adult in high school your balls/nuts hurt and thats 3 days of after school detention. She wanted to see, and I was like, wah? but the assistant coach and another male teacher was called in, and since she was a urologist before she became a school nurse, she and the coaches made me drop my pants, and she looked, using a ruler to move the boys around, and then looked at my cup. Gf came rushing in, as she was at cheerleading practice and seen me get hauled off. Turns out I needed a special ordered cup, since the boys had outgrown the cradle. No harm, no foul. Had to sit that practice out, and my mom, bless her soul had to take me out of school the next day to get fitted for a new cup. Well, I still have that cup. I was razzed for the rest of that year. "Big Balls Bull" I was ashamed.
2. I am a huge nerd. Books, Movies, Comics, Video games, Tabletop games, Anime. You name it, I am into it. Well in my early twenties, my wife was concerned about me. She wanted me to take up a hobby on my saturdays off. Mostly I hung around the house, helping her and playing with my baby. So I was walking home from getting some drinks from the gas station, when I noticed a bunch of people hanging around all dressed in black, emo style. Curious, I learned that they were part of a big live action rp game called Vampire the Masquerade. Oh you know I joined, but felt kind of out of place, so with the advice of the game master, I became a motorcyle driving, wild man of the Brujah clan. I enjoyed every minute of it even if I cringe at the memory. Wife joined in when she could and we had my parents watch my daughter. Though it was hard for her, pregnant again to wear the snake skin skirt and cut off denim jacket, as we were husband and wife too in game. She would murder me if I posted the pictures the group took. The game ended before we moved out of town, and sometimes I talk to everyone. *Edit: I was passing by a game store, specializing in table games.*
3. I like to build models. Lego and normal models. I kind of keep it a secret from my wife that I have been buying Gundam models and found some Aldnoah Zero models to build. I like Giant Robots. Therapist said it stems from feeling a connection because I was always taller and bigger than my peer group. But I secretly wish to have my own Giant Robot. Not to fight, but just to ride around. Also if anyone reading this is into Anime, and loves a deep story, I suggest Aldnoah Zero, it resembles some of Asimov's works.
