What is something interesting about you? A fun fact, if you will.

I started college, and we were going through the generic icebreakers, and what not. The leader of my group asked the question, "What is something interesting about you, a fun fact?" I froze up. I didn't know what to say. I said something odd, I think it was that I don't watch a lot of TV, but I was surprised that I couldn't think of anything. I thought further into it, and the same outcome occurred. My life isn't boring; I travel, do spontaneous things, and such. In the end, I wanted to see what everyone else thought, because I like starting conversations.

    Sep 18 2012: I did Europe for less than 30 bucks a day for six weeks. Spent time in the hostel system, and took trains everywhere. 10 countries, 14 cities... something like that... By far, the most wonderful experience of my life, plane ticket and Eurail pass included, less than 3 grand... Saw things a prince used to be able to blow his entire inheritence visiting.

    I used to have trouble with the "fun fact" question as well... but now that's always my go to. So few people realize how much of the world you can see with even a meager wage.

          Sep 21 2012: Why does attending marriage cause you to relax yourself?

          And as for why I hate the Spurs so much, it's because I'm a Dallas Mavs fan. MAVS4EVER
