20.

alrite, i'm joining the bandwagon. here are my 20 random facts:

1. i have a brother that's 9 years older and a sister that's 7 years older. that basically makes me an only child and a dumpster baby.

2. my oldest friend is cindy lin in nyc. we've known each other for my whole life existence.

3. i was born in the hospital right next to my freshman dorm at U of MN. go gophs! what?

4. all through my short life existence, i have been shuffled between MN and CA. born in MN, moved to CA in 1st grade, moved back to MN after 6th grace, moved back to CA after college. i like where i am now and will hopefully be destined to stay in CA.

5. i don't like eating raw bananas but love banana dessert/dishes. artificial banana flavor is awesome, especially in laffy taffy, runts, mochi, and grass jelly

6. since elementary school, i always wanted to be a stationery designer. i guess i never ventured far from what i wanted to do.

7. i started working at age 15. my first job was a coat checker at a health club. other odd jobs i've had: retail sales, custom framer, art studio attendant (made clay), staff lab attendant, corn field worker.

8. i was an overachiever up till the point i became an underachiver in college, freshman year. i was put on probation at the end of the year. ha ha!

9. i applied to only 2 colleges: U of MN and Santa Clara University. got in both and forgoed the 30k year tuition. i think my parents owe me 80k+. :P

10. the reasons for #8 and #9 is that i wanted to major in business something. i was accepted in one of the best business schools in the midwest. look how that worked out for me...

11. when i was 10 in taiwan, i was playing at this waterfall place. for some odd reason, i wanted to step on the flat rocks the waterfalls were going down. of course, i slipped on the rocks and luckily held onto the edge of the rocks. i think someone was watching over me while i pulled myself up. i looked around and no one even noticed. i can still remember that moment quite vividly.

12. tennis was my life up until college. the best ranking i had was #16 in girl's 18 & under in the northwestern tennis association and #1 singles in h.s. some small colleges even asked me to play for them. i refused to play tennis in college and even now. i don't know if i truly enjoyed the game. some day, i'll hopefully change my mind about tennis.

13 is my "lucky" number. i lived on the 13th floor in college. ever since, #13 has shown up a lot in my life.

14. my most favorite place to be in? my bed. :P a close 2nd would be anywhere else in the world where there's a comfortable bed.

15. i enjoy baking more than cooking. i think i'd enjoy cooking if it wasn't for all that chopping. i'm more of the throw everything in, stir, and bake because i'm lazy.

16. i'm peculiar about the quality of things: consumer products, ppls...

17. i'd rather clean my own bathroom than have someone do it for me.

18. chores:
-i don't enjoy washing dishes or folding clothes.
-i like to vacuum if stuff is cleared from the floor.

19. pet peeves:
-ppls who don't remember things i tell them 2 days ago.
-when i'm eating and I can hear the other person smacking their lips, chewing.
-when ppls don't tell me things straight. then i have to interpret them, usually incorrectly.

20. i'd rather watch ppls enjoy the dessert i make than eat it myself.

done.
