People have commented about how they think I'm brave for various things, but really, it's only bravery if you're actually afraid. And actually, I'm a wuss.

Actually, I used to be afraid of the dark as a kid, but I was brave and logical and got over it... to the point that I'm now comfortable letting my eyes adjust and not bothering with the light switch a lot of the time. (And then my mom yells at me for not turning on the lights.)
