Post a Random Fact About Yourself

I had a cat that I named Samantha after the character from Bewitched. Except that Samantha turned out to be a Sammy.
Male cats tend to escape their homes and cover sometimes long distances to find females. They often die in the process.

At least it's been my experience.

I suspect that a similar principle applies to humans: I'm still waiting for a nice male to turn up and there are accidents almost every day at the crossing near my place.
Admittedly, finding the perfect mate is a bit difficult this year, what with curfews and all that.
 
I have an appointment for a COVID vaccine tomorrow, and was only told about it at 5pm today by a robot voicemail on my cellphone. They left a message on the house phone, but it was a mess. Going to be at one of the high schools in town.
 
I haven't bought a lottery ticket or made a bet on something (like a horse race for example) for... like... ever. It's not an effort or anything, I am just not tempted.
 
$970 million drawing tonight. It’s probably not worth throwing down $20 on ten tickets, but on the other hand I’ve always wanted to have a higher GDP than some countries. THAT would be something unique to put in this thread...

Take a look at Trump. Do you really want to be like him?

on the other hand 20 bucks should buy you a halfway decent bottle of booze that might help you to forget that you didn't win (again)
 
Well, I mean I’m evil, but I’m honest about it and I wasn’t raised spoiled. Plus I’ve been monogamous for 23 years. Plus unlike Trump I would actually have money, not owe it to Russian mafia types.

So we still would have nothing in common.
 
You know they've taken very nice detailed pictures of the surface of Pluto, using these they could make a very nice globe.
The Astronomy magazine website offers various planetary globes for sale. I've never bought any due to the horrendous exchange rate and shipping. They have globes for the Moon, Mars, and Venus; I don't recall if they have Pluto.

At least with my stuffed planets, I can hug them. :adore:

(though it's much nicer hugging my cat, as planets don't purr)

EDIT:

Just to update: I now have many more plush penguins than a mere 23.

You must have a VERY LARGE room.
As a Time Lady, my place is bigger on the inside than on the outside. They all fit. ;)

How about a different random fact: I started working on a fanfic on November 1 last year, and have not missed a day of adding to it since then (just finished adding another 25,582 words in April, for Camp NaNoWriMo).

It's a very long project that outgrew the original intention. I expect it to take a couple of years to finish.
And time passes... it's been nearly two years since the above post, and over two years since I started that fanfic in November 2018. That story is nowhere near finished. It's not that I've given up; on the contrary, I'm still writing every day. But I keep getting more ideas, and have also written some material for alternative versions. Now I'm looking at another couple of years. At least.
