Thank you to my older brother for being a jerk face so I made it on to Buzzfeed! Shout out to post #3!!

My brother used to give me a McDonald’s Halloween bucket as a helmet and his Taekwando chest protector to protect my body and then have me stand at the end of the hall. He would proceed to use a hockey stick and practice his knuckle puck on me with tennis balls.

My brother once locked me in the dog’s cage and left me there for 3 hours.

My brother once told me to spell K-C-U-F backwards and yell out the word at the top of my lungs in a very fancy restaurant. He didn’t get dessert that night.

My 5 year old cousin told me yesterday that he got his temporary tattoo put on his neck because he wanted to be like me. Considering how disapproving our extended family is of my tattoos, it made my day.

My second literary tattoo is from the cover of To Kill a Mockingbird. At 13, this was the first book I read that actually dealt with controversial issues and really made me think about life in a deeper way. To this day, it’s my favorite book and I read it at least once a year.

I’ve always been short, which leads some people to think I’m a pushover. I read William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream when I was 12 and this quote spoke volumes to me. I may only be 5’2”, but I’m tough.
