Is that why your username is "Cinderblaze"? Was that an origin story?

This happened last year. I was being driven home from an orchestra concert at my high school, and my dad was going slightly above the speed limit. Suddenly, some idiot decides to cut in front of us, extremely above the speed limit, from a byroad when we had right of way. I remember seeing a blur of lights, and being frozen in fear. For a split second, I was so sure that this was the last thing I'd ever see. My mother and I screamed, but my dad hit the breaks just in time. My voice was so hoarse that night.

I also have a family member's near-death experience. Before I was born, my mom, dad and older brother (probably 3 or 4 years old at the time) were at the beach. My brother was playing near the water with my dad close by. A wave suddenly picked my brother up and dragged him out into the water. Being a small child in a country where most children do not learn how to swim, he began to drown. Fortunately, my dad swam out to him and saved him. Now he's nearly 22, and deathly afraid of water. He's so afraid, that he was willing to fail his high school P.E. class one year just so he wouldn't have to do the swimming unit (his teacher found an alternative and he passed).

That just makes it even more confusing...

I'm probably not going to participate, it's just too much pressure and I'm a total wuss. At our school there's a rule that if you get hit by a water-based projectile, that means that you have been assassinated. So basically kids ambush each other with water balloons, water guns, etc.

That's not my intention. I myself am a (legal) immigrant, and I want to see people's views on my own opinion about illegal immigration. I guess I'll make a different topic about it, then sooner or later. See y'all there.

...or is it too taboo?

I wish I could erase those years...

I wanted to formally apologize, so that's why I ID'd myself.
