In the previous chapter, I said I'd be giving you guys the rest of the facts here. Now guess what time it is?

FACT TIME!

#21: On the first day of sixth grade, a roll of toilet paper was passed around. Everyone was instructed to take however many sheets we wanted. I took one hundred. Turns out we had to say a fact about ourselves per sheet. Goddamnit, me.

#22: I once found a piece of South African currency (forget what it was called) on the movie theatre lobby floor.

#23: Speaking of currency, my dad gave me a coin from the Philippines and I DROPPED IT DOWN A CAR DOOR. Right between the slot where the door meets the window. I was devastated.

#24: One time when I was a smol bean I thought so hard about how Duncan ate something off the floor that I didn't see that I started to cry because I thought he was going to die. It turned out to be a crumb.

#25: Our family has owned five cats. I think I may have shared this before, but I'm doing it again.

#26: I have a weird history of owning pets with epilepsy. Yeah. Jasper, the eldest of the cats, had it. She had crossed eyes too. Luna, my other dog, has it as well.

#27: In fourth grade around Christmas I read a book chock full of cryptids. Most of it was pretty rad. However, the grey aliens bit really got to me for some reason. I ended up believing that they were gonna abduct me. The only condition was they couldn't take me if I was awake. If I made it to 12:00 am, they'd give up. That's why I stay up so late now. Aliens.

#28: <--- This is my favourite number.

#29: I love bears so much and you don't even know.

#30: I accidentally typed "beards" but it makes sense either way. Beards are rad.

#31: My favourite state is Maine, because it's the most like Canada.

#32: For the record, I am a RAGING Canadian. I live in the NWT, the most underrated province/territory.

#33: One of my favourite pastimes is memorizing song lyrics. If I like a song, I'll play it until I know all the lyrics.

#34: Spinosaurus, Utahraptor, and Tarbosaurus are my favourite dinosaurs.

#35: Our school has a talent show every Christmas. This school year, I sang Jonathan Coulton's song Chiron Beta Prime. It's about a family that's spending Christmas as cosmic robot slaves. I actually had a teacher come upstairs later and ask me what it was called because they liked it so much. Here's the song:

#36: I have a pink bracelet that I always wear. Cecilia-blaze knitted it!

#37: I have two identical Sasquatch plushes name King Richard the Third and King Richard the Fourth.

#38: I own way too many glow-in-the-dark t-shirts.

#39: I never gradually learned to read, like one word at a time. One day I just sat down in front of my mom and said "I'm gonna read this book" and proceeded to read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish out loud. That's it.

#40: I have this desktop computer that I played games on when I was little. I also made lots of videos on them. These include a speed-draw of Chewbacca, me just randomly singing the national anthem, and a video in which you are eaten by a tyrannosaurus, encounter a banana wearing shades that guides you, escape through said tyrannosaurus' butthole, and are immediately quoted Sid the Science Kid at. No kidding.

#41: Once I was biking down the street and there were some people on the sidewalk. Usually, the town is pretty lazy in summer and nobody is seen anywhere. Not knowing what to do, I just decided to focus on not falling over. I focused so hard that I fell over right in front of them. I just picked up my bike and ran home.

#42: Every summer, I make a sidewalk museum with chalk in front of the house. People have taken pictures of it!

#43: I have this really weird next-door neighbour called Arthur. He's an eccentric. If you talk about him with anybody in town, they know who you're talking about and have at least one story of an encounter with him. I have one where he was mowing the lawn in an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt and shorts and tried to make conversation. zombiepeasant has one about how he always came off vaguely creepy when she sold Girl Scout cookies. He's just weird, man.

#44: I used to be called "Carrot" by my younger cousin because it sounds like my actual name. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't shout it in the middle of a wedding.

#45: I was Student of the Month once and all I got was a tube of Hannah Montana glitter glue pens. I don't even like Hannah Montana.

#46: I have set off house alarms multiple times and required the alarm codes. Dad got me a key fob for it after that. Mom just gave me her code, but I've memorized it so there's no problem.

#47: I've always contemplated starting a YouTube channel someday.

#48: I bought a rad leather coat by accident once. I was making a steampunk Halloween costume that I needed a leather coat for. Mom and I went to the thrift store and got two. I thought it was so that we could have variety, but she said she got the second was for me to actually wear. It's my winter coat now.

#49: I sorta kinda play the keyboard! I've never been formally taught anything, but I've learned multiple songs by ear and even composed some of my own.

#50: All of my devices are decked out in stickers. ALL OF THEM.

That's it! 50 Facts! I hope you enjoyed them all and maybe learned something about the trash behind the writing. Have a good one.
