Knowledge is power. At the very least, the more I know, the more I know, and I really like knowing things. I'm full of and willing to share fun facts because I'm always looking up things I don't know, and there's a lot I don't know. So my Google search history varies wildly. Anyways, here are eleven fun facts I can think of off the top of my head.

There are so many exciting things about aging, but my existence has always and almost solely been validated for the way I look. Who I am is just a bonus to the way I look for the man I'll one day trap/catch. The world has told me so many things about aging and my existence in the world. I would be lying if I said I hadn't ended up on the kitchen floor in a full on panic attack about aging in society. Â
