There are three things you need to know about me. One, I enjoy this list of odd facts more than any other I've ever created. Two, I'm not sure if it's good that I'm enjoying it as much as I am, because it seems like I've been in a weird mood for the last few months. And three, it's difficult to choose what order to present these facts in. The truth is that I have always been an odd person. As a child I was strange and often seemed to be on the verge of being arrested. 

When I was a teenager I got kicked out of my high school, but this wasn't for being a bad student, or getting expelled, but rather, for having an alternate identity which I used to make prank calls to my teachers, which in turn made me a school celebrity. This also earned me the nickname “Ricky Gervais” at the time.
