20 Coveted Facts For Any Trivia Spelunker
One day I woke up and realized that I was still young. My plan was to spend my days on this planet writing a long-form confessional piece about myself, but I noticed that my readers were beginning to think that I was only talking about myself when I did something that was not as funny or interesting as it seemed at the time. This led to a number of changes in my plans, including: 1. Instead of writing a long-form confession, I decided to make a list of strange and entertaining facts, with my personal feelings and opinions about those things hidden under a veneer of irony and humor. 2. I decided to keep the title of the list general, so that the title could be changed if necessary, instead of trying to guess what my personal feelings would be about any particular subject. 3. I decided that it would be easier to enjoy this list of interesting facts if it had no real beginning and no real ending, but was a seemingly endless list of items, instead of having a single, linear story line. Anyway, enjoy!
