Random fact about yourself

Tell me something about yourself.
 
Don’t be dumb and and give out any personal/identifying facts.
 
Doxing of any other person will not tolerated.

I’ve never eaten French toast.

I buy backups of everything. I never learned how to tie shoes (and I didn’t learn the difference between left and right until 2017 and that made me so happy), so I need size 12 wide slip-on shoes with low arches. Since only 1 style of shoe fits me I bought enough pairs to last the next 12 years.

I was a big language nerd when I was younger, and still like to occasionally play around with different languages. But there are only three I have more than most basic knowledge of. In randomised order: french, english, and russian.

I collect shot glasses.

I invented most of an Indo-Persian language with some Greek loan words for a book that I never got around to writing. It’s been so long that I can’t even read it anymore.  

My favorite band is The Ramones.

I have a hoarding problem, but thankfully its digital. Bet no one expected that.
 
Also, I used to raid in a World of Warcraft guild that was ranked in the top 50 in the world, reaching 9th at our best in raid progression. Never. Again.

I’ve written three books, in 2009, 2014, and 2020 (with numerous aborted projects in between). I also have another three books that have have a large part written, one of which (the zombie story) is way too fucked up for me and I can’t finish that, there’s also a prequel to Lost Horizon which I intend to finish one day, and the religion book that doubles as an autobiography. The section I’ve written of the religion book already is longer than the entire 2020 election book, and it’s like 10% of the whole thing, so it will be probably about 400,000 - 500,000 words (over 1,000 pages, which is about 8 inches thick) when finished. I’ve also been keeping a diary since 2012 that has over 1.3 million words (6,818 pages).
 
I’ve got two new books I’m starting to outline partly inspired by the Rona and the general degeneracy and civil unrest. They take place at the same time and share some characters but focus on different things.

I like cats

I’m terrified of thunderstorms.

I’m very uninteresting. I can’t think up an interesting fact.

I used to have 3 grey hairs, now I only have 1. It looks sad and out of place. Either 2 of them got their color back (sometimes hairs make mistakes and forget to color themselves), or they fell out.

There’s gotta be something.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
It doesn’t have to be an interesting fact, just a random one.

I’m the only one in my family with hair on their feet. My nickname used to be “Hobbit”.

That was my fact. Hang on, let’s see…
 
I had my first dentist appointment in years a few weeks ago. I’ve tried to drink more milk, and have a newfound love of strawberry milkshakes.

I used to watch new episodes in my families barn, so no one found out.

Served 6 years in the US Navy, spent more time in aircraft than on ships.
 
I can independently control my eyes (though not very well, its just a funny party trick) I can also make them shake
 
My left leg is a few centimeters longer then my right, so standing perfectly straight, my right foot doesn’t touch the ground.
 
By the 5th grade my voice was already so deep that I was considered a bass in choir class. Its not super deep comparatively anymore, but for a 5th grader it was extremely deep at the time. I can sing Chocolate Rain in the same range still.

I have two extreme fears: spiders and depictions “grey aliens”.  

I’m mexican, and Mexico is a place where people loves the hot spicy food.  
… But I hate it, I hate the hot spicy food and a lot of the traditional food here. I’ve been called pussy a lot of times for that.

 
I’ve had the Millennium II Countdown Clock running on a single AA battery since June 1999. It is the longest lasting electronic device I have, and it is extremely efficient in using electricity.

I got the name acres from my family’s farm. When deciding, I looked out the window and acres is part of my family’s sign out front.

When choosing my username my thoughts were simply: “This site is pretty new. I bet I can get a canon character name.”

@Fleur de Lis  
I was surprised when I was able to get acres on derpi.
