I figured out something today -- I can blame Newgrounds for perverting the childhood innocence that I had far too long.

I've always attended Catholic schools (the Washington DC public school system isn't the best) in my neighborhood. Most of my life, I had a mother who constantly reinforced morals into my mind, and somehow managed to convince me that you should always tell the truth, and expect the truth in return.

I've found out, sadly, that life just doesn't wok that way. I think it was actually here on Newgrounds, in eigth grade, where I first began to become really quite active on Newgrounds, that I figured out that the childhood morals I had grown up with were mostly un-true... and it sort of shattered me.

But, I try to do the same today. I tell the truth when I can (though, I've slowly become a scary-good liar...), and I go to mass on Sundays (though I'm religious, I doubt this'll continue during college in a couple years), but I feel as though that Newgrounds was the community (... yep. Interesting community) that helped me actually begin to catch sarcasm, the perverted site that helped me to transition into high school.
