I'm a lot like the people I'm stealing this meme from. More often than not, I tend to be pretty honest with the people I interact with. I am however, also notoriously elusive about volunteering information about the person I am and/or the workings of my mind unless I see reason to. If there's something that you've always wanted to ask me (or really

1. I was raised British. While I didn't really get a sexy accent out of the deal (well, not a full one, anyway), I did learn most of the other mannerisms and behaviors that would make one a proper gentleman. I was in the boarding school from the time I was about three and a half until I was almost twelve, so by that time, I'd had it beaten into me (literally ;.;) that I had to remain polite and civil at all times, regardless of how I might feel about the situation at hand.
2. I'm an older brother. While my sister and I were growing up, she was, for lack of a better term, hellspawn. Being that she was the youngest, she was really able to get away with whatever she wanted. I was, on the other hand, punished pretty harshly if I ever did anything out of line, as I was the one that was supposed to be "setting an example". In addition to giving me an inexhaustable supply of patience, I had to learn to be nice to someone I found myself depising quite often, if only for survival's sake.
3. Religion. I don't have much in the way of good things to say about the Catholic Church anymore, but given that I was raised a Catholic, I've still held on to a number of the values and teachings
that I believe will benefit not only the Catholics around the world, but people as a whole. I can remember learning at a very young age that you should always "treat others the way you want to be treated", and that really stuck with me, and thus, continues to be a
large part of who I am, even today.
4. It's just part of who I am. For as long as I can remember, I've always gotten a sort of weird rush out of being nice, helping people out, and making them smile. I know that sounds incredibly cheesy, but it's true. Don't get me wrong: I could still be a brat at times (just like every other little boy since the dawn of time), but for the most part, I've always been that nice little boy you want to take home and place on your bookshelf.
