Come away with me...: February 2012

When I was a kid, I used to make all kinds of lists. Like my favorite colors in order of most to least, what I want to be when I grow up, even random things like what I ate for a week. Well.. I found a list I did in my freshman year of college. I found a list of 30 random facts about me.. I know I'm weird, but some are still true and some aren't. Goes to show how much I've changed or grew up since my first year in college.

1. I have this thing for robots. I don’t know how it started, but I like robots.
2. I’m a very dexterous person so I like to make things. Like I made a carpet before and a magic wallet. I’ve crocheted a purse, made moccasins, made a doll, and refurbished a jacket I bought from a thrift store.
3. I’ve been to over seven countries: Mexico, Indonesia, Australia, England, Ireland, Italy, France, Philippines, Amsterdam,...
4. I used to take ballet lessons and singing lessons.
5. I used to play the flute.
6. I used to collect beanie babies. I still have tons of them, though.
7. When I was six or seven years old, my mom made my sister and I go for commercial auditions because we’re twins. Apparently twins were in demand. And I cried because I didn’t want to be on TV. I cried a lot when I was a kid.
8. I get sick often and it takes me a while to get rid of it.
9. I love spicy food.
10. It’s not like I’m addicted to working out, but I love endorphins.
11. I like thrift store shopping. They have the coolest stuff there!
12. I used to be a major tomboy when I was younger. I used to cut my hair soooo short, like a boy, every summer.
13. I broke the 3 digits, as in weight, my senior year of high school.
14. I think I have progressively shrunk because my doctor said I was 5’4 three years ago, 5’3 two years ago, and 5’2 a year ago. I just take the average and tell people I’m 5’3.
15. I find writing 30 random facts about myself really hard because I’m a very ordinary/boring person.
16. I like to care for and help people.
17. I can cook fairly well, clean, and sow. People say I’m set to be a wife.
18. I have a short term memory. Nothing traumatic happened to me to be like that, though. I’m just bad at remembering things, that’s all.
19. I’m fickle.
20. People say I’m smart, but in truth, I just work very hard.
21. I used to own: a canary, a fish, a few dogs, a bunny, and a turtle. They all went to heaven. :(
22. When I go home from weeks of college, I like to relax by watching cartoons.
23. My favorite fruit is the fuyu persimmon.
24. I usually don’t like eating chocolate because it’s too sweet. That goes for cakes, cookies, and brownies as well.
25. I wear retainers every night.
26. My favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:4-6
27. I started playing piano when I was three years old, yet I still suck at the piano.
28. I never had a job.
29. I know how to hula and Tahitian dance, but just the basics.
30. I like all racket sports. I play tennis, badminton, recently racquetball and ping pong.
