  4. 1. I use my given name. My parents tried and failed to use a nickname for me. I'd find this out eons later.
    2. Sure. At some point. And probably will do it again.
    3. Most of the time. Not always. Have always had horrible handwriting.
    4. Sociology. I think it would've really come in handy in the last 6 years.
    5. Oddly or not: None. No pressure, but no influence either.

  5. 1: Do you prefer your given name, or something else? Sean is absolutely fine. I also go by Sassy, Sassybear, Boo, and Breenlantern and all work for me.

    2: Have you ever lied about your age? Nope. Never had any inclination or reason to. But always hated being young (age wise) and couldn't wait to be older.

    3: Can you read your own handwriting? Yes, but I wish it was nicer than it is.

    4: If you went back to school, what would you study? Art, Illustration, Graphic Design. It's my true passion.

    5: What family member had the greatest influence on you? My (gay) Uncle Gordon who was ostracized and shunned by the family. He was the inspiration for my coming out, which changed my life.

    1. French, the language of Kings. At one time I was functionally illiterate in French. A time a long time ago. I still make my way through a menu.
