Explanation

Among my friends, I tend to have a bad habit of spewing out facts that I find interesting about generally any topic we end up discussing, though sometimes they do not relate at all to the topic of interest. These little spews have become known as my fun facts. Seeing as I am leaving early, and I know my friends will really "miss" my interesting blurbs, I've decided to keep them in the know-how with this blog. Everyday I shall be posting a new fun fact, some that might relate to what I am doing on the East coast, and some that are completely random. I hope you enjoy.
