5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Rook]

1 - I only became Fluent in Spanish & Catalan at the age of 10, I had no choice, My mother enrolled me in Elementary, Dropped a buncha comic books on my lap {popeye, archie, Condorito}, told me the alphabets, and the Vowels and said "if u wanna know what they're saying, thats what u need"...6 months later, Im talkin like speedy gonzales....
Before that? all I ever knew was the spanish version of "give me water, where's the bathroom, don't fuck with me"
unfortunately, i told the last bit to my very conservative gramma when we arrived*she wanted to tickle me*...


2- I'm profoundly Deaf, but it was Progressive..by the age of 6 I was classified by many teachers as a "lost cause"...
Twice I got stuffed in special Ed., and both times the teachers said I didnt belong there...I developed an uncanny skill at body language reading along with lip-reading, so that helps against pisspoor liars & braggarts..I dont know much ASL...but what I do know so far, I suppose the Deaf community finds acceptable.If my 'partner' and I have a serious communication issue, I break out the pen and paper.


3- I have a lightning-quick temper...I can be reasoned with though, most of the time...My relatives often call me "aballarde"{fire ant}...I s'pose combination redhead and puertorican doesnt help....[hmm, one cousin calls me chester cheetah, but i ignore her]

4- I love music, Theater & cinema

5- I'm a sappy softie with small furry animals{and prickly animals}, specially ferrets...and guinea pigs...
