Facts 36, 37, 38 & 39.

Prepping for the Awkward School Portrait Party and getting some facts out of the way.

35 - Polock | Fireworks

I spent 40 minutes trying to decide which of their songs I should put up first.  I guess that’s where the fact is.

34 - I just played Plants vs. Zombies for almost 4 hours while listening to Polock on repeat.

A sweet band I was introduced to on Monday at the We Are Scientists show.  That was a sentence fragment and poorly structured altogether.  Anyways, they’re from Spain so that’s pretty cool.  The frontman didn’t speak English particularly well but all of their songs are in English so that’s pretty cool as well.  This track is “High on Life” off of their album Getting Down From the Trees.

Facts 31, 32, & 33
  • Edibles currently next to my bed - Salt & vinegar almonds, pretzels, Goldfish (not the pet), Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Sweetarts, two Mango Smirnoff Ices.
  • Edibles that had prominent places next to my bed but have since been removed - Hot sauce, salt, Cherry Limeade, the Poor Boy sandwich I ate last night.
  • Of all the things I’ve yelled in my life, “I will rape your first born” is probably the one I’m least proud of.  Also, I don’t know what the rules are about starting or ending sentences with a preposition, but I’m pretty starting AND ending sentences with a preposition is a no-no.

On an unrelated note, does anyone have a copy of Titanic I can borrow?

30 - I cut the tip of my finger off in a potato slicing accident.

I was a freshman in high school working as a dishwasher/prep cook in the back.  We used a motorized slicer to cut our hash browns (technically “American fries”) which I was in charge of.  As the potatoes were slicing, one of them didn’t load correctly onto the moving platform.  I reached in to fix it.  It was a mistake.

As I sat holding my blood-soaked, towel-wrapped hand above my head, the cute waitress did jumping jacks in front of me.  I don’t know why.  I didn’t ask.  Also, I later found out I was legally too young to be using the slicer anyway.  The tip of my finger has since re-grown.

28 - I don’t like plain chocolate.

Chocolate-covered or chocolate-dipped anything is a completely different story, unless what’s being covered or dipped in chocolate is chocolate.  Simply, I will enjoy plain chocolate if it is accompanied with something else ie. peanut butter, mint, on s’mores.

27 - I’ve never been in a fist fight.

But I did punch Aaron Lerg in the nose for pulling my hat down over my eyes.  Pretty amazing how temperamental I was in 8th grade.

26 - Phrases people say that I’d rather they didn’t.

“I’m just sayin’…”

“I’m not gonna lie…”

Neither of these phrases actually mean anything when you think about it.

Re-worded so as to not be an opinion.  Eat me, Paul.
