POST A FUN FACT... ABOUT YOURSELF!

author=Liberty
Since my father died when I was about 8, we've all be raised by my mother who... isn't a saint and isn't an angel but is a very strong, capable (and at times extremely silly) woman.

I relate so so much to this, except my father is still alive but has moved to europe when I was 6. But yeah let's hail our awesome mommas!
I just felt the random need of expressing how awesome my mom is. She's like ridiculously sugary and sour at the same time, extremely forgetful and clumsy yet extremely strong and capable, one of the first tattooist women of Brazil and proud of it, and she's been through a lot in the weirdest ways possible....


...I guess I could tell a few facts about us.

Me, mom and my deceased grandma share a lot of traits.
We're all extremely forgetful, silly and independant, we also have a very strong personality, are extremely stubborn and we're prone to doing stupid shit. Repeatedly.

Mom's forgotten her watch on the freezer. For months. and she looked for it everyday. She also tried to discard her engagement ring when she was dating my ex-stepfather / father of my brother like 5 times and it always returned. She forgot it at a taxi, threw it out of the window (twice), left it at a restaurant...
She jokingly predicted the death of my grandaunt. she was a lady that'd everyday ring our doorbell for hours still and would creepily ask about everybody's financial condition while judging the house and stuffs. (she honestly asked what we'd be doing with grandma's clothes the moment she learnt of her death)
So mom said "oh Aunt Ruth died )':" and everybody believed, then she said it was a joke. 3 days later she was found dead. And, obviously, nobody believed. I feel kinda sorry for the woman, she was just cold but not bad.

My grandma was a professional singer until she had to step off of her profession due to a repeated condition on her vocal chord, gifting her with an extremely low and raspy voice. She was a talented pianist as well and I still have her keyboard with me, even though it doesn't work. Her family was always against her pursing art, being a singer at that time was equalled to being a slut, but she pursued it anyways and passionately expressed herself in whatever she did. During her last 2 decades she was a hair stylist -- one of the best of our town.

My mom practiced Muay Thai -- and got kicks on her stomach as part of her training -- untill she'd been pregnant of me for 5 months. Yeah i endured 5 months of kicks as a fetus. Lol.
She also fell down 2 sets of stairs 3 days before I was born. And she was. Fine.

We had some complications at birth due to a blood condition she and my brother share, which rendered her hospitalized for 60 days. They even took her for dead, a priest came to send her, and the obitum papers and stuffs were all signed when a friend of hers, a doctor, heard of it and ran a simple blood exam and found out of the condition. A blood transfusion and some sort of stabilizer ensued and she was fine in no time.

In fact that's where my name comes from, it's J. Victor because she faced death xD

Whoa that was a text

I love my lineage <3


EDIT: WHOA IT WAS IN FACT A LOT BIGGER THAN I'D EXPECTED OMG @_@ I kinda got absorbed in my memories

Joseph, that was all really cool. :o

edit: I was homeless from the ages of 12 to 19. Is that a fun fact, or just a fact?

Woah, what?

I can't imagine being homeless for even a YEAR, much less... that long. Jesus, man, sorry that happened to you.

Fun fact: That's not actually me in that picture

It was still amazing.

I have a weird attraction of trying to sympathize with my enemies.

This makes my enemies hate me a lot more... :(

Another thing: I was once mistaken for a 16 year-old just recently ( I'm 27, but I'm barely 1.6m tall and have a very youthful face ).

I get mistaken for a 17 or 15-year old whenever I'm clean-shaven, even though I'm 25. I still feel younger than I really am, though...

What kind of person actually has "enemies"

That sounds like a fun fact on its own and I want to know more

My right arm is darker than the rest of my body. Like, way darker than the rest of my body. I'm like Wrath from the Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 anime.

Do you rest it on the window frame when you drive therefore exposing that arm to higher levels of sunlight?

All kinds of people.

Another thing: I was once mistaken for a 16 year-old just recently ( I'm 27, but I'm barely 1.6m tall and have a very youthful face ). I can also do graphical art with both my left and right hands, but I'm not ambidextrous. And I don't have a single degree to my name ( I'm self taught in nearly everything I do ).

Welcome to my life. Except for me it's usually 15 or younger, and i'm left handed for drawing/writing-- right handed for most else.

I've a... rather tumultuous history with some rpgmaker fellas around the place, most of them I've mended but some folks from RMwebs insist on continuing to be a pain in the butt.

I mean me and Libby just as an example, though I don't think I'd classify her as an enemy at all nowadays, since I've had some good times with her and she like me doesn't seem capable of holding a grudge long.

We'll still bicker but y'know.

My eternal enemy is da police

Fuck 'em no justice no peace

In all seriousness, my arms have this incredibly odd gradient to them where they're tan on top but white as a bed-sheet when you turn them over. It's because I simply don't turn them over when I go out to tan, but it still looks really odd.

i washed my hair and hydrated it with a really dense mosturizer thingy. It was oily and greasy as a result. I tried to dry it up with powder. Nevermore.
