Day 28 - That's weird

As I've addressed previously, I'm not very good at meeting new people. And so when I can, I like to use certain socializing tools that I've learned over the years, like asking questions about the other person. I feel that "tell me something interesting about yourself" is a great conversation starter because you never know what to expect.

When I am asked this question I tend to default to "I make YouTube videos." I tend to get a lot of questions out of that one. "What kind of videos do you make?" "You just talk to your camera in your room?" "Can I be in one of your videos?" etc.

And here are some of my other "interesting facts".

When I record videos I tend to finish with anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes of footage, which then get's edited down into a 2 - 3 minute video. I've got epic editing skillz. haha.

When I was in high school I was told dark soda ruins your voice, and so I gave it up for a few years. And now whenever I try to drink Pepsi, Coke, or Dr. Pepper it burns my throat going down. So I tend to shy away from dark sodas, which I suppose is a good habit. It's definitely a lot healthier, especially since a majority of what I drink is water.

I cannot stand kidney beans. I'm pretty sure it's a texture and taste thing. I find them very unappetizing, and will pick them out of whatever I'm eating. I actually don't like to eat whole beans at all. And I've never tried mashed kidney beans, so that could be it.

I eat my pizza, crust first. I have no idea when this start or why, but I don't care if you think it's backwards! haha.

I have a hard time keeping anything on my wrists other than hair bands because when I use my hands to type or write, I rest my wrists on the surface area of my computer or desk. And if I have something on my wrists it makes it uncomfortable.

I eat Peanut M&M's, peanuts first. I bite them in half, eat the peanut, and then eat the outside chocolate shell I won't eat them whole. #weirdiknow

I seldom watch television. Most of the shows I watch are no longer on air, and if they are I watch them on Hulu and Netflix. I just never really have time for TV.

  1. Are these the facts that you tell people when they ask you the "what's something interesting about yourself" question back at you? If so, I think a first time conversation with you would have been wonderful.
