CATFACTS

So instead of writing, I accidentally played video games for 3 months.  It's not as if I have writer's block- I have ideas to write about, I'm just really bad at not playing video games.

Anyhoo, my friend Aaron signed a group of us up for a text chat service to help us keep in touch (since we've all moved to different places).  It's pretty neat, it's like a text chatroom where we can all contribute.  It would have been useful, but I took this as an opportunity to be a dick and immediately starting spamming "CATFACTS" messages to everyone.  Here are some of them:
