56 Fun Facts About Me Examples to Tell Others

1. Your childhood dream job, whether it was to be an astronaut, an opera singer, or even a member of the SNL cast (For me, when I was a little kid, I wanted to be a pianist, and I’ve ended up being a pharmacist with a head that must be shaken well after meals!).

2. Your favorite childhood memory, whether it’s a Christmas morning flashback or a favorite dish your mother used to make (Think of Anton Ego’s ratatouille flashbacks.).

3. Your trip to your dream city, which ended in disaster. I went to Rome, and I’ve got lost, so don’t believe anyone who says, “All roads lead to Rome!”

4. A bad habit that you couldn’t break. I failed to listen, and even though I trained well to cope, I ended up looking people in the eyes, and sleep!

5. An odd daily habit you have. “Not scary, please!”. Whether you tend to climb the stairs on your tiptoes, divide your McDonald’s sandwich into sections, or even writing to your friends on their dirty cars.

6. Don’t pretend to be a “The Godfather” movie fan unless you are, or you will end up answering, “How did Don Vito Corleone die!” and fail, as I did.

7. Things that scare you. You don’t have to mention your claustrophobia or Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia “Yes, it’s a word”, just stick to the more entertaining, less frightening facts (For me, the Nescafe foams and people with limited imagination scare me!).

8. Your favorite type of art. But remember, art is about what you feel rather than what you see, so unless you don’t know the story behind Mrs. Mona Lisa, don’t pretend you didn’t like her smile!

9. A real-life filming location you’ve always wanted to visit. Whether it’s a Kathleen Kelly bookstore in the New York suburbs, Central Park “to relive “Home Alone” memories,” or even Star Trek spacecraft!

10. Your favorite Disney character “believe me, It connects people”. So, unless it’s not Cruella or Scar, you can pick whatever you want.
