2. The only reader in my family (from both sides)

3. I am extremely family oriented

4. Half of my pay goes towards books --> :'( no Bueno.

5. I have always been perceived as the unfriendly, quiet, and downright weirdo in the family who spends way too much time reading instead of leaving life. When in reality, anyone that knows me. Really knows me, would say the contrary. I am as friendly as they come and I talk a lot. I may be quiet but sometimes there is no better gift to give to someone than silence. I have lived far more lives than anyone on my family could ever fathom through each and every book I have ever read. :D
