How much do you really know about me?

I don't usually meme. First, I'm uneasy about the narrow use of the tremendously useful term "meme" to mean "parametric content module copied from blog to blog" rather than "information copied from anywhere to anywhere". It's like using the term "life form" to refer specifically to bugs that lay their eggs in Jell-o. And second, most memes are silly.

So, I am ripping the genetic material out of this meme and reengineering it.

So... how much do you really know about me? This is an essay test.

Clarification: Do not give a summary of disconnected facts, as in the original meme, only in running prose instead of a list. Rather, demonstrate how well you know me by choosing a single topic of interest and exploring that topic in a paragraph of around 5 sentences.
