Um, I am boring. My parents were expecting a girl (

@Seto keep your smart ass comments to yourself) they were not prepared. So my dad pleaded with my mom to name me after him. She finally agreed as long as they didn't put "Junior" on the birth certificate.
I always hated my name, which is appropriate because I hate my dad too. In high school, I was reading a Stephen King book called "The Waste Lands." There was a character in the book named John who had the nickname "Jake." So when I switched schools, I thought I would tell a lie, tell people my nickname was Jake and see what happened.
I didn't REALLY think I would be on this forum for a long time so I used my now legally changed name as my username. And due to my OCD, I can't really change it.
