My username is almost my whole, real name. I’ve been lurking here for over 10 years. I made the username a couple years ago and hate it now knowing that people can look up what I have to say in what is an anonymous message board.

My birthday is the 13th, and for years I told people I was born on Friday the 13th, and that’s why I have such bad luck. I actually wasn’t born on Friday the 13th, but after a while it’s hard to reverse that lie.
