Factoids

Swap them with the friends!  Use them in a game of Top Trumphs!  Play the Drinking Game!  Yup, it’s the vital factoids:

• Despite appearances I do know how to spell the word “awesome” and its actual meaning [adjective: something causing awe, terror, wonder or excitement].  I use “awsum” [and occassionally "awesum"] in the sense that is normally pre- or suffixed by “dude”.
• I like my tea milky, my coffee frou-frou and my cheese melty.
• While I play free and easy with compound-nouns, pre-and-suffixing, verbification, adjectivising, nounifying and deliberately bad spelling; I do believe in shovel-wielding violence for repeat abusers of the humble apostrophe.
• I once taught English in a convent school, I have clinical depression and six holes in my ears [four in the left, two in the right].  These things aren’t related but they fit fairly well into the one bulletpoint.
• I like playing MarioKart, but I’m not very good at it; I like Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, but cannot bake it and I like writing, but the editing process bores me.
• I think Venn diagrams are awsum.  The Venn diagram is a curious thing, makes one man weep and another man sing.  Except for the quantity of men that both weep and sing which the Venn diagram clearly shows.
• I find specific-sizes of public speaking awkward: I can talk to a roomful of people I don’t know at all or people I know really well, but any number of people that I vaguely know or that I might see again freak me out leaving me a runonsentenceupjumbledmess.  This includes trying to buy froufrou coffee.
• I’m pescatarian – not because I love mammals yet hate fish, but – because calamari is delicious.
• I have a phobia of bellybuttons – my own as well as other people’s.  It is a phobia, not a fear, because it’s completely unfounded.  I can’t look at them, I certainly can’t touch them and even thinking about them gives me shivers.  I’m typing this sentence one handed, while the other hand is clamped firmly across my own navel.
• When I doodle it’s either octopodes or robots.
