Hi there!
So recently my channel's experienced a huge growth. Which means a lot of you guys are new to my channel! Hi!
However if you are new to my channel I feel like you don't know that much about me besides the fact that I'm American
And I have a lot of British friends
There is more than meets the eye, okay.
Today I'm going to tell you 50 fun facts about me
And I'm not even gonna tell you that I like puns.
I feel like that much should be obvious. Let's get started.
My mom told me a lot of lies growing up
And one of them was that if you eat the crust off of your bread you will get curly hair
And as a kid all I wanted was curly hair.
So when I'd go to lunch kids wouldn't be eating their crust I'd be like
"Yo mate you gonna eat that?"
And I'd eat all the crusts I could. And yet look at this.
Straight as me.
Fact number 2 is another lie my mom told me
Which is that eating apples cleans your teeth.
And I remember one time Dodie was like
"Evan you gonna brush your teeth?" And I was like
"Pft just ate an apple." She's like "uh...what?"
And I was like "yeah man they clean your teeth."
Just looked it up. Not really?
Like, the acidicness of the flesh kind of--- Mom why'd you tell me that??
I could have been having cavities my whole life.
I literally thought if I ate an apple before sleep I didn't have to brush my teeth.
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. NOT THE DENTIST.
I hate wasting food.
Like if you ever go out to eat with me you'll never see me leave any food on the plate
I just don't like being wasteful
And I think this is probably because when I was kid and I couldn't finish my dinner
my mom would wrap it up and say "well you're gonna have to eat it for breakfast"
And so I'd have to eat beans for breakfast.
Which is TERRIBLE as an American. However in England people just like
"that's fine I can eat beans for breakfast."
Ugh it's gross. No. It's wrong. Beans are meant for dinner.
I HATE lima beans. They are Satan's spawn.
They are the LEAST tasty vegetable in the entire world.
I hate them I hate them I hate them.
When I was a kid, my mom used to have to bribe me to eat them.
For every of spoonful of lima beans I got to have a little mini marshmallow.
America.
When I went to Nandos one time
I saw a family next to me literally order an entire whole chicken and they didn't touch half of it. Completely.
And as I hate wasting food, as they left the table I literally took the chicken.
And you know what? It was great and they didn't throw it away okay?
Don't judge me.
Everyone at the table judged me. I'm like "listen, untouched food. It's fine."
Please tell me I'm not alone here. I feel like I'm alone.
I am rarely sick, but when I do get sick it is really really bad.
Due to my healthy-ness, I had perfect attendance for every single day in high school.
And I only missed one day before that and that was because I had to attend a funeral.
I love roller coasters and I've always really loved roller coasters
and my favorite theme park is Universal Islands of Adventure in Florida.
I've never been to an amusement park in the UK because I feel like I've heard they cost an arm and a leg
My favorite part about roller coasters is that feeling of free fall you get right before you go down the hill
but you also can get that while driving on hilly roads.
So I remember when I was a kid I used to express this sensation to my mother by saying
"Mommy, this tickles my peepee."
And she would just keep that up and I remember she brought it up when I was like 15 when I had friends in the car.
She was like "oh Evan we're on a hilly road. It's gonna tickle your peepee!"
Mortified.
I actually own a company now for my YouTube business.
It's name is Puns LLC.
That's correct. I literally own a company called Puns LLC.
I was amazed that no one had taken puns yet.
So now if someone says "Evan Edinger doesn't own puns!"
I can be like "oh yes, actually I do."
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Which kind of sucks because it's not celebrated at all in the UK.
I've always enjoyed playfully pranking people
And even on this past Friday when I was going down the stairs
I pushed the elevator button on every floor
so the person that was using it to go down had to stop and the doors had to open on every floor
I'm a child.
I have never once done a sponsorship deal on my YouTube channel.
I've met George W. Bush and I have a signed letter from Barack Obama
Both because of the boy scouts.
I was really late to learning how to swim
because I always thought I could just keep my feet on the ground of whatever pool I was in.
But I had to learn how to swim for a swimming merit badge
and at one point I was so bad when I was supposed to swim 150 yards around a pool
other scouts started lapping me
so when they started getting out I just got out with them and pretended that I was finished.
No one caught me. I was 2 laps under.
I once biked 25 miles to a camp site
and then the next morning biked 25 miles back.
And I think that's the most physical activity I've ever done in my entire life.
Besides hiking down and up the Grand Canyon.
I can't touch my toes.
Told you so.
My favorite video game of all time is Super Mario RPG
But it's really high up there with Chrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island, and Donkey Kong Country 2.
My last name is actually supposed to be pronounced "Edingrr"
but I really like pronouncing it "Edinger" because it's smoother and comes out your mouth easier.
It comes out your mouth easier
EDINGRR EDINGRR EDINGRR
It just sounds angry.
I'm one of those people who likes living in the now, in the present.
I don't really dwell on thoughts of the past.
And the thoughts of the future are exciting
but for the most part I like living in right now and enjoying my life as it is right now.
I've been on tv 2 times now and both times have been on BBC for American politics.
I guess I'm just their token American.
Female interviewer: Evan what do you think? Evan: I feel the Bern?
As cliche as it sounds, I really love long walks alongside the River Thames.
And that's like my ideal date.
Just take a girl out, walk alongside the river, have a nice chat, and look how pretty London is.
As a kid I really didn't like coffee because my parents were addicted to it and I really didn't like the taste.
But now a days, I like the taste and I'll have a cup every once in a while
and my coffee of choice is a flat white
I never had a drop of alcohol until I was 21 years old.
For the most part, I only drink water at restaurants
Because it's free and it's the best thing you can really have for your body.
However, if everything else is free I might have a fizzy drink or something.
Also I really hate the fact that I've been calling them fizzy drinks because that's what British people call them.
Soda. Soda. Soda.
I'm somewhere between 6'3 and 6'4 but I don't really know because I haven't been measured in a while.
Also when I wear shoes I'm another inch taller.
My favorite anime is Death Note.
Delete. Delete.
My favorite outdoor game is jailbreak
and I really wish I could take a bunch of my friends with me on a camping trip
where we'd all play that at the end of the night.
It's my favorite.
At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.
Because I used to live in the woods I used to play in the trees and I had a tick on me for more than 3 days
It's that easy to get.
But luckily, as easy as it is get it's also easy to cure.
And for the most part, I'm fully cured.
I say I'm going to work out every other day. And I never end up doing it.
I'm not an extrovert but I'm also not an introvert.
Because I really appreciate time alone and time with people separately.
Like I can go out with a lot of friend and still feel really alone
and I can also be at home alone and really want to go out and spend time with friends.
It goes both ways.
I have read the entirety of the Bible. Front to back. But it took me 3 years.
Before moving to England, I had planned on moving to Los Angeles with a couple internet friends.
And I still wonder what my life would have been like if I had actually done that.
I have my name as my username on every website.
So if you're ever wondering "oh what's his instagram what's his snapchat?" It's just EvanEdinger.
I have never smoked anything and I never will.
Besides ribs. I can definitely go for some smoked ribs right now.
I am rarely bored. I always have something to do to keep myself productive.
But I still wish there was an extra hour or two everyday because I feel like I would get so much done.
My favorite number is 5.
This isn't a fact, but I just heard the neighbors having sex!
My favorite food is cornbread. I love cornbread. I love corndogs.
I just-- I love it. I love it so much.
I am somewhere on the asexuality scale. Somewhat closest to demisexuality.
It still freaks me out that British people eat with their fork upside down.
Evan: The fork is upside down! And then you eat it like this. Not like this. Dodie: That's horrible!
I really like pronouncing things with the wrong vowels and I don't know why.
So recently instead of saying like "snapchat" I'll say "sneepcheet" "snoopchot"
or "Dodie" I'll be like "Doodie" "Dobby" "Doobie dogaloga"
I don't even know. I just say random syllables and she knows it's her.
I am literally always on my phone and it's mostly on Twitter.
And people always ask me "Evan do you have this person on Twitter notifications?"
And I'm like no. I have no one on Twitter notifications because I'm always on Twitter.
The only exception to this rule is when I'm on a date.
I didn't realize this until recently, but when I'm on a date I literally forget I even have a phone.
Dodie texted me the other day and she's like "are you dead?"
and I was like "oh, you know what I didn't even remember"
I was just so focused on the date. I feel like that's just the respectful thing to do
Because ya know I'm there to engage with that person
and I feel like it would be slightly rude if I was looking at my phone the whole time.
I LOVE dipping my pizza crust in ranch dressing and I LOVE dipping my pizza crust in blue cheese dressing.
It is my favorite thing about pizza.
But sadly you can't do that in England because ranch and blue cheese are incredibly rare things to find.
It's probably another reason why I don't like salad here. That's the only dressings I really like.
I've been in 3 different musicals: My Fair Lady, Damn Yankees, and Once Upon a Mattress.
But I feel like my role as Cothy #1 in My Fair Lady definitely ruined any chances of coming to England with an okay British accent.
I came here like "ello govna I'm gonna speak good British I am!"
And now I speak hopefully not as bad.
That still wasn't the best though, was it?
I played clarinet every year up until my freshman year of high school.
And I remember I used have to wake up at 5am, walk down my dirt road, catch a bus, and then go to band practice.
And I wasn't even tired! How did I ever do that?!
I must have gone to bed at like 6pm or something
because geez I wake up at 7am nowadays and I'm like "kill me now. just kill me"
I really like moving things around in my hands.
So if I have something in my hands I'm gonna be moving it around.
And I remember one time in second grade, I had my floppy disk in my hand
and I was moving the shutter back and forth, and that ended up erasing all of my homework assignments.
Really showing my age here.
Autumn is my favorite season.
So while all the leaves are still turning I really love going to different forests and woods
and just taking as many pictures as I can and just kind of being alone in the woods.
These are some photos from my Instagram I took a couple weeks ago from Wendover Woods.
I don't really cry much when I watch movies, but I bawled my eyes out at Pixar's "Up."
And it wasn't even the scene that most people were crying at.
It was in the beginning and they panned to a doctor's office
And I just lost it.
I know what that stood for and it just made me so intensely sad
and the fact that they picked up from it and it just aw man that scene is making me sad right now.
I used to have a pet hermit crab named Sneaker
because he used to sneak out of his cage every once in while
But I went on a camping trip one weekend and had to give him to my neighbor to take care of.
When I came back, he was dead. You could say I was a bit crabby about it.
As a bonus fact, I make new videos every Sunday

I'm always afraid when I do this
It's gonna break my bed one of these days.
Because Chai broke my bed.
Why are there so many cops today?!
I'm Lon-done with London's cop problem. That was terrible.
I HATE lima beans.
If someone tells you they like lima beans they are lim-ing to you.
No didn't work
I've been on twovy. Twovy? Oh I've been on TV two times. I've been on two-v
