There is a girl I deeply care about that is perhaps one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. She has so much potential, but we both run into a wall when it comes to her religion, obviously. She has had the great disservice of growing up in Bible Belt territory in a small Texas town... but...

From pretty much the time I was born, he was hard on me. He was one of those "Don't coddle him!" type fathers. He's told me as much. He also told me he spanked me a lot when I was too young to remember. From the time I can remember onwards, he's been this bipolar lunatic. Usually...
