    That’s so awful about mono, poor thing!

    Yeah, it was pretty bad; I had to relearn how to swallow like a normal person afterwards (that was an experience).

    Wait you mean an actual official diagnosis?!

    Yes, I have severe attention-deficit type ADHD.  So severe my inattentive symptoms are almost off the scale.  It went completely undiagnosed for my entire childhood and adolescents but we finally figured it out once I got to college.
    As of right now I’m unmedicated and I hope to not use any medications.  I can manage my issues fairly well on my own, and I have a network of friend that help me with my schoolwork.

    I would vote Teague as a fellow coffee fiend lol or Ramseur for dragon standoff totally awesome!!!!

    Willem is very fun and absolutely chugs coffee.  He’s a Ranger from the Hilliz forest and thus is a skilled acrobat and archer, and able to pull off shots while doing acrobatics.  Very fun, very friendly.
    Ramseur I have less defined, but he’s not a major character in his story.  I don’t know a whole lot about him.

    Ooh, on that note, did you know that coffee calms people with ADHD down?

    I did, actually.  Stimulants act as depressants on ADHD brains, which is why they’ll have hyperactive-type kids in middle school on methamphetamines.  I’ve been self-medicating with coffee or tea when I need to wind down.

    *would almost drink coffee just to experience that, but coffee is too utterly disgusting to actually do that*

    You just haven’t put enough sugar and cream in it yet.
