25 things about me

it took me about 2 hours to do the survey below because i couldn't think of anything good to write. now that i'm done, i keep coming up w/ random things that i should have put in but didn't think of at that time. oh well...please enjoy.

1. I always get very nervous doing these “facts about you” surveys. What if I can’t think of 25 interesting things about me?

2. I love big dogs and know what I’d name my future dogs.

3. Contrary to popular beliefs, I’m not 5’00” tall. I’m 5’1/4”, thanks.

4. I may have some OCD tendencies. Food shouldn’t touch and mix together, small paperclips shouldn’t mix with big paperclips...you get the point.

5. I get very emotional when it comes to animals. I’ve been known to cry over pet store puppies for not having a real home and for polar bears on those WWF commercials.

6. Until recently, I couldn’t smell and taste very well thanks to an old cheer injury.

7. My most favorite childhood memories are from choir trips and annual concerts.

8. If I could I could do one thing for the rest of my life without worrying about making lots of money, it would be to coach cheer again.

9. If I could go anywhere in the world right now, I’d travel all of Europe, snorkel in Australia, or go on a safari in Africa.

10. I like making plans well in advanced as opposed to spur of the moment get togethers.

11. I lived in Taiwan until I was 5. But I’m not a fob (I was born here).

12. I love getting primped and polished for dressy events. I would trade a formal evening gown and 4 inch heels for jeans and a sweatshirt any day.

13. If I can relive a period in my life, it’d be from 2002-2005. I think I could have done better for myself.

14. It makes me sad seeing how pop culture is affecting mind of young people today. I guess it’s the soc/psych major in me.

15. I am very bad at staying in touch with people.

16. I’m a big klutz and trip all a lot for no reason. But what’s really weird is I’m better on heels or figure skates than I am in normal shoes.

17. I love coffee. I love the smell and the taste of coffee. Back in high school, I’d only drink the mixed drinks at Starbucks (grande, extra hot caramel macchiato made with the shots on top). But when I started working at a real estate company, my boss liked to drink dark black coffee. So ever since then, I drink mostly drip coffee with soy milk and 1.5 packets of Splenda.

18. I didn’t play my first video game until college. Growing up, I didn’t have Nintendo or anything around the house.

19. I have a unexplainable fear of snakes. When I was younger, I was fine with snakes. We had gone to Malaysia and I had touched them, held them and took pictures with them. But somehow over the past 15 years, they started to scare me. Now I can’t even watch snake shows on tv…they freak me out.

20. I named my brother after Jordan Pike from the Babysitters Club series.

21. If there was one talent I wish I had, it is to have a better singing voice.

22. My parents are very dysfunctional. It’s a long story.

23. I am obsessed with weddings.

24. I am definitely more of a night person than a morning person. I have a hard time getting up in the morning and get pretty angry for no reason.

25. I have a hard time living “in the moment.” I’m always reminiscing about how great the past was and looking forward to what may happen in the future. It makes me forget to enjoy the present.
