$10,000 down, another $15,000 when the job is done

In the past, people have told me that I have an intense aura about me. I've also been called unapproachable, even intimidating (the latter seems completely unfounded as far as I can tell).
Well, we can now add cold blooded to that list. At school people have been joking about contracting me to do "dirty deeds" (not done dirt cheap). I asked my teacher where all this was coming from and came to find out that I have that callous, kind of intimidating look and somebody else in the class threw out the descriptor "cold blooded". I have been sporting a beard for the about a month now and I have an old, longish leather jacket that most likely perpetuates the look. My good friend Mike said I look like a car jacker the other day. To a lesser extreme, I've also been called a mountain man.

And I'm completely digging it.
