So I've seen a few people doing these "five facts about me" and "ten facts about me" posts, and I thought, why not? I rarely write anything particularly personal, partly because it feels somewhat narcissistic, but whatever, indulge me today if you have time.
1: I'm a popcorn addict.
I eat popcorn about 7 times a week. Pretty much every night, even if I don't get home until 3am. It's actually a problem for me. The thing people don't realize though, is that popcorn gives you magic powers.
2: I'm obsessed with ants.
Myrmecology is the scientific study of ants. While my interest is only a hobby, I get great joy from it. Over the years I've kept numerous colonies including my favorite species Lasius Niger, the simple garden ant. Ants show a range of fascinating behaviors, and with the right set-up one could easily spend hours observing them. What makes ants any more interesting than other animals? For starters, ants "farm" other insects. Ants build bridges. Ants bury their dead. Ants go to war. Ants are almost all female. Ants are awesome!
3: My left foot is bigger than my right.
At around 14, I got in a fight in school and fractured my right foot (you should have seen the other guy). Apparently it stopped growing after that because there's a good inch of difference between the size of my freaky feet.
4: I love African Jazz/Funk
I have fairly eclectic music taste, but African music tops the list. Check out Nigerian funk daddy Fela Kuti, to get warmed up.
5: Photography changed my life, Steemit was the cherry on top.
In 2001 I had a catastrophic health break down which left me with chronic fatigue, amongst other problems. I struggled to enjoy life for years until I picked up a camera and got involved in the local photo community here in Dublin. There I met the most amazing friends, and despite my continuing health turbulence, my life has been given joy and new meaning. Steemit has allowed me to get some extra returns on my photography, and now at the age of 37, I have more to look forward to than I ever thought possible. Stop crying you little bitch.
Anyway, let's make this an official Steemit challenge, and call it, "everyone follow and upvote 
@condra" ... Just kidding, perhaps, I dunno ... #fivefacts ? Up for the challenge?
I'd like to nominate some friends to write their own #factsaboutme posts, namely:
