Post a comment with a fun fact about you, then ask me a question (any question!) and I'll answer. Tadaa! Instant conversation. Possibly.
Go ahead. Give me your best shot. At the very least, it should be... interesting. ;-)

I was born in Indiana, not far from Notre Dame University, where my dad was attending classes. We actually lived at the university for several years; I still love the beautiful campus, and have an abiding hatred of being expected to like the football team. (Not a football person, me.)
If you'd had to guess, before I told you that, where would you have said I was from?

My strangest talent... also has to do with Doctor Who, kind of. I can make containers act as if they're bigger on the inside.
Say you've got a suitcase cram-packed so full it won't quite shut, no matter how much you wrestle with it; if I take everything out of that suitcase, then put everything back in, it will shut with room to spare. Works with bookcases, dresser-drawers, refrigerators, any confined space with a finite amount of contents. And it keeps going: on one trip, I started with a full suitcase, happened to repack several times, and wound up with a half-full suitcase with all the same stuff in.
(Crazy, huh?)

Your talent on the other hand is SUPER useful. I'm not a bad packer - I went to Belize for a month on one duffle bag - but when it comes to REPACKING at the end of the trip I'm quite lost. I usually end up chucking most of the stuf I brought with me and just bringing back the souvenirs. Saves on luggage fees if nothing else.

Have you ever worked to accomplish some qualification or skill that then just sort of wandered off into the weeds uselessly?

But I did spend quite a bit of time a few years back learning an incredible amount about Star Wars (old trilogy and the 'verse appertaining thereunto). I'd make a heck of a beta in the fandom; I can spellcheck a host of proper names and odd words, identify most of the spaceships and droids in use, draw a rough map of the galaxy, and go on rather endlessly about the Millennium Falcon... but somehow I just don't care for it. I've never used that knowledge, and doubt I ever will.
