Factoid Wednesday

Happy Hump Day!

I have decided to do a Factoid Wednesday post for you all. You must respond below with a fun, wacky fact about yourself.

Re: Factoid Wednesday

  • My brain is mush.  For the last several days, all I have been doing is grading exams.  My class exams and Regents exams.  It makes it so that I forget simple things like my phone number and students' names. I feel like a robot or factory worker: 2 points there, 6 points here, 0 points on that one (and, yes, a few answers have been hysterically funny).

    Here's my factoid: Over the past few days, I estimate that I have personally graded over 4500 questions. I'll have more next week.

  • I have a considerably large tattoo scrolling across the small of my back.  I thought it was pretty freakin' awesome when I got it 12 years ago, but ever since it got so popular to get ink done & that location on the body got such a *reputation* I regret having chosen that spot.  I don't know where else I would have gotten a tattoo, but I wish I could still feel as original about it as I did when I got it.
  • hmmm.... I have an older half-sister from my father's first marriage that I am dying to meet, yet I refuse to ask any of my aunts or uncles for any info that may help me find her.

  • I can eat a lemon straight - as in eating the fruit & juice with no sugar. Always have since I was little. My mom used to buy lemons for me to snack on. I love anything sour, sometimes more than I like sweet things.

  • hmmm...I wish I was interesting, but unfortunately I'm not. lol The only thing I can think of is that I absolutely hate fish. I do not eat any kind of it. No shell fish, tuna in a can, filet 'o...NADA!

  • Right now, I can't think of anything remotely interesting.

    Maybe the fact that I as I get older, I am increasingly afraid of flying on air planes. This is someone who spent most of her time on a plane flying to and from NYC from Southeast Asia 3 times a year (that's almost a day in the skies), a few years back. How I did it, I do not know!

  • I agree, I'm at a loss for delivering a creative one too! So, I think I'll stick with the reality tidbits. I am so addicted to the Reality Housewives brand that, while DH is at work, I make a date with myself and a snack, (preferably a little cookie dough ice-cream), and park myself in front of the TV to watch the latest drama unfold.

    Maybe because it's good mindless TV to unwind to. But, last night's finale of NJ's housewives, had me squealing at the top of my lungs in disbelief! I am so ashamed! LOL.?

  • Lawby, I became the same way with airplanes. Loved them when I was younger, got petrified of them a few years ago (for no reason at all!), and only within the last year did I finally get over that transient fear. Weird.

    My factoid: When I straighten out my arms my forearms actually bend back. I am very double-jointed and I love to gross people out with it. Big Smile
