Because you know what I really need? More trivia.

[nonelvis]

A slightly modified version of a meme snagged from chicklet73:

I know very little about some of the people reading this LJ. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. (AND I KNOW YOU'RE LURKING, BECAUSE I HAVE LJTOYS. HAHAHAHA! But it's okay to lurk, really, do it myself all the time.) Anyway, no matter why you're here, I thank you for your interest in the latest stupid thing I have to say.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? Any old thing at all, the more trivial and fascinating, the better. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so... they enjoy juggling fish and have memorized the title of every single episode of Star Trek."

I'd love it if every single person who's reading this entry would do this. Yes, even you people whom I know really well. (Besides, this will give me something amusing to take the edge off after I survive a 3-hour meeting this afternoon.) Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

I wrote my memoirs when I was 10 years old.

I used to consider English language my personal enemy as a pre-teen - who can feel anything save contempt for a language that spells a word John only to pronounce it as Mary?

Before I learned to drive in my thirties, I had dreams about being able of drive a car just like I dream about being able to fly.

The fact that anyone learns to speak English is kind of miraculous. I will never forget learning about the spelling of "fish" often attributed to George Bernard Shaw: "ghoti."
