      I have two associates degrees, one in Humanities and one in Construction Technology (I have no intention of ever using this, but I was 3/4s complete with the degree when I realized this. It's there if I ever really need work, I guess, since my runs a construction company.) 
 
I'm heading to university now for an English degree, ideally pursuing a doctorate eventually. I want to be a professor, but I'm not really looking forward to teaching outside of a college environment before that.  
 
The only story that really comes to mind is from this most recent semester. I was at a poetry reading in the library for my Creative Writing class, but I arrived late ( I wasn't reading, luckily) so I took a seat off to the side. 
 
Only... where I was sitting was apparently the playing area for a band who was going to be contributing to the event (I had no knowledge of this) and... throughout the event, I had no less than six people ask me if I was the replacement singer. 
 
At first, I thought they were just poking fun at the way I was dressed (long hair, lots of leather and chains, combat boots, etc), but it was only after the musicians started arriving that I realized they were actually serious. Cue embarrassment.
     
    
      
      
      Cold silence has a tendency 
to atrophy any sense of compassion 
between supposed lovers. 
Between supposed brothers.
