1) I had a couple short stories which were published in collections several years ago, but I was so ashamed of the stories that I let them fade into obscurity, and I otherwise (almost) never talk about them: The short stories in question were valuable learning experiences for polishing my craft. But they were also among my earliest pieces of fiction and I feel I've grown as a writer since then. The stories were also rushed, and by and large I just wasn't happy with how they turned out.
2) The Gang of Five is the first new forum I've joined and actively participated with in seven years: I've posted on the TV Tropes forum since 2012, albeit much more irregularly than my activity here. And TV Tropes isn't just a forum like this one is; it was mostly the wiki/editing side of the website where I was active. Aside from TV Tropes, though, this fact is true, as my last time being active on a 'pure' forum was back in 2010 and earlier.
3) In the first 22 years of my life, I lived in fourteen different homes: This would be quite a lengthy story if I went into detail about why I've moved around so much, although I can always elaborate further in my 'Ask Me' thread if you're curious.
4) I used to be a huge fan of the TV show LOST. For several years, I was a bigger LOST fan than I was a Star Wars fan: While I've ultimately been into Star Wars for far longer, there was a significant portion of time when I was a bigger fan of LOST than anything else. Although in more recent years I've outgrown the show, and Star Wars is back to being my biggest fandom right now.
5) I had a kidney stone last year and went to the hospital to have it treated: This is the one I wish was false. But yeah, it was late in the morning one day when this absolutely horrible pain started up in my stomach and wouldn't go away. At the time I didn't know what was going on with me, so I had a friend drive me to the hospital. I thought that maybe it was something wrong with my appendix and it would need to be surgically removed, as that happened to my mother once. Thankfully the pain was mostly gone by night, and the kidney stone was small enough that it came out on its own the next day. Still, not a pleasant experience.
