1. I went through a two-volume dictionary when I was a little kid, going through every word, just to note down all Greek myth-related terms and their definitions, then attempt to reconstruct stories out of these definitions (this was before I had access to books on Greek mythology).
2. As a little kid, I also memorized a whole children's book just for the sake of it.
3. I've read the whole of the Bible at least 3 times so far, and read the whole of the Qur'an once.
4. Didn't do shit at all in my twenties. Too busy being a good Christian with long bouts of depression. My first degree, first non-family and non-cleaning job, first serious relationship ... all achieved in my thirties (35 now).
5. Studying is a pastime for me, just like watching Netflix and playing video games. I spend hours studying just for the sake of it, and enjoying it. When as a uni student, I'm one of those guys that always gets excited when exams are near, while everyone else around are shitting themselves.
6. After strongly suspecting being on the spectrum, I finally got myself assessed fairly recently and finally have the diagnosis I was after. Paid a lot of money, though, and now regret it a bit.
7. 7 is a number I really like. There's something neat and orderly and straight about it. In comparison, I don't like much curls like 6 or 8.
8. I used to pace around the house, coming up with really interesting fantasy stories in my mind. Most of these stories have yet to be penned down, but two stories I did end up writing were only ever read by one of my brothers, and he actually enjoyed reading them despite not being much of a reader. They have long since been burned to ashes because I came to realize I didn't really like these stories myself anymore, and they were very badly written.
9. Seeing really curly hairs on other people's heads used to really bug me when I was younger.
10. The only proud atheist in my whole extended family. I know of two other atheists in the family, but they're not public about it like I am.
