Just the Facts

It's the last Fun Fact Friday of January! Here’s a straightforward prompt to celebrate: Make a list of at least ten random facts about yourself.

Well, they're not really random if they're just what I can come up with off the top of my skull in a brief period of time, but...

1) There exist three states in the US that I haven't been to: Nebraska, Michigan, and Alaska.
2) I never went to first grade.
3) Once, I spent $340 on a car and installed a $700 sound system in it.
4) I've never seen the movie Titanic.
5) The Toronto Zoo used to have a monorail. I was there the day it failed, 25 years ago this July, and witnessed the train's final malfunction.
6) I've eaten at biker dive bars in Montana and dined at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston.
7) I have never subscribed to cable TV.
8) I've never fathered a child. This was by choice.
9) The first time I drove across the country, I went all the way: from the easternmost point of the contiguous US to the westernmost point.
10) I've seen an active volcano up close (on Montserrat).

Really, I'm not sure what any of this means, if indeed it means anything at all. There are probably more things I could come up with, but it's best to maintain some mystery.
