Pets: None... unless the squirrels who come to my kitchen window for me to feed peanuts to sorta count? haha (RIP to my beloved guinea pigs Marty, Indy and Chewie <3)

Favorite Video Games:BurgerTime, Bomberman, Civilization Revolution, most Super Mario games, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, most of the LEGO games, Among Us - when it's with my son, Will.
Pet Peeves: Cussing, arrogance, blasphemy, people who get annoyed or confused by the fact that I choose not to see R-rated films, Profanity in video games and music - especially made by followers of Christ, All radio, People who wear bluetooth ear pieces in public while not on the phone, The 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, and people who ask why JFH is encouraging people to "hide out"... not realizing that we're clearly not. ("Hideout" is a place, not an action. So, it's "JFH"... not "JFHO")
Thing You MUST Know: I'm often very sarcastic, so please don't take it personal; and I get easily distracted at live concerts and in large crowds (and a little social anxiety), so your grace is appreciated if you try to get my attention at one and I seem like I'm in La La Land! :)
