100 things about me
- I can't choose a favorite color, but I wear a lot of navy, brown, and black.
- I would totally go on Date Lab for The Washington Post if I lived in DC.
- I've never cheated on a boyfriend.
- I love cooking, especially desserts.
- I am a dog person.
- I have lived in the south for all of my life in the US, but I'm neither a republican nor a Christian.
- Looks attract me to a guy at first, but his personality takes my interest to another level.
- I have the ugliest toes that you will have ever seen. Thanks a lot, Dad.
- I like celebrity gossip more than I like to admit in person.
- Public television and radio is the best. I am planning on donating once I get my first job.
- I used to tell my dad in middle school that I wanted to be a writer for NPR, but he told me to be a doctor first and to keep the writing job in my mind as a hobby. I am now an English major with a minor in Journalism.
- The Maverick Poets inspired me to start writing poems. It taught me that poetry doesn't have to consist of rhymes and yawns.
- To steal a friend's quote--I am a modernist living in a post-modern world.
- I write and make art better after midnight.
- Drinking leads to throwing up or crying or crying because I am throwing up.
- My girlfriends are the best. They are the kind of women I want to keep in touch with for the rest of my life.
- I would never date a guy a friend has already dated, even though that friend may have said it's okay. Unless she broke this rule first, and then it's on.
- I see myself settling down in Dallas, no matter where I end up going after college. This could all change later.
- My fashion sense ranges from typical college student in t-shirt and jeans to bohemian to country-club-ish.
- My drink of choice is a caffe latte with hazelnut syrup, none of that non-fat milk shit. [update: my mom told me that non-fat milk foams better, but it sort of tastes like styrofoam... so I still don't like non-fat]
- Sweetened green tea is for pussies.
- Cutting corners for calories with margarine instead of butter or Miracle-Whip for mayonnaise is disgusting. Flavor trumps staying thin.
- Seeing fat women in malls with their mom jeans makes me go running even though I hate running.
- I plan to be a PTA mom, handing out prize ribbons on school field days.
- I tend to attract idiots, the audacious and the ugly. Tactfulness and timidity drives me crazy but in a good way.
- Snow White was my hero when I was a little girl, because she had black hair like me.
- I used to think I'd be dead before I'd become a liberal arts major. Hello, food stamps.
- Chipped nail polish pisses me off (on my own nails, that is).
- I wish I had more soul in my singing voice, but I'm not about to start smoking and abusing alcohol to get there.
- 2 out of my 3 favorite poets have killed themselves (Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds).
- I hate watching the local news.
- I check my e-mail obsessively.
- I've inherited the want to make useless shit from my mother.
- I've received the love for reading and meekness from my father. And the ugly toes.
- My parents are both musicians/teachers, but they've expected me to be a doctor ever since I was in the 4th grade. Who were they kidding?
- My love for classical music was fostered by my parents. Something went wrong with my sister, and now she hates classical music. She hates anything with culture (I kid, I get along with her).
- I connect to creative works (music, visual arts, literature) that were produced in early 20th century better than anything else, hence that quote about me being a modernist.
- I dislike having my hair in a ponytail, but one with a cap on top is sometimes the only option.
- To me, heels are more comfortable than flats. [update: I take this back... expensive heels feel better than 10-dollar flats, but expensive flats feel incredible]
- I want twin boys and then a baby girl.
- I've just recently wrapped my mind around to the possibility of being unmarried until my 30's.
- I feel best in a light, girly top with jeans and heels, with very little make-up and curled hair.
- I have yet to finish knitting a single scarf by myself, no matter how many often times I've started one.
- I have trouble sticking things out, if you can't tell.
- I'm not bored easily, but it takes a lot to truly impress me.
- British slangs amuse me.
- I love making cards for people.
- Cucumber tastes like what I imagine mowed grass to taste like. I refuse to eat them.
- Dead skunks on the road and rubber cement smell pretty similar to me. [update: and weed! I learned that this year]
- Red jackets are tacky and they always will be. Do you want to strut down the street like a vile little hussy? Didn't think so.
- I wish to watch the opera Dido and Aeneas before I die.
- My eyelashes are terribly short, so I have to switch between curling them and putting mascara on them about 3-5 times.
- Lipstick looks so outdated on me.
- I like the smell of a day-old scalp on my boyfriend or me. Don't judge me.
- I'm the friend who always convinces her friends into going karaoke-ing every weekend.
- I used to be a size 10 in the 7th grade.
- When walking with a group of friends, I am almost always about 10 steps ahead of them. An ex has told me I do this in order to overcompensate for my short legs.
- Losing my teeth in dreams scares the fuck out of me. I wake up in cold sweat while running my tongue over my intact teeth.
- I'm suppose to wear my glasses (esp. at night and in class), but when I don't, I still touch the bridge of my nose to push up my glasses that aren't there.
- I'm going through a phase where I am considering different piercings and tattoos, but I am too chickenshit to go through with it. Plus, I don't want to be a mother or a grandmother with holes in my face or an old flame's name on my ass.
- I get unreasonably attached to stuffed animals and cannot throw any away. That movie Toy Story fucked me up royally.
- I've been urged by a couple of family members to get my eyes done (to have a bigger lid fold), but I always say no.
- If I had a choice, I'd hang around my house just in my underwear, but I have a roommate at school and still go back home when school is out.
- Southern accents make me think less of people.
- It makes me sad when I see people 50+ in a t-shirt and jeans outside of their homes.
- I became a US citizen in September of 2006.
- I refuse to put my parents into a nursing home.
- I am counting down the days until my video iPod finally breaks down.
- My mom had an awkward talk with me about how if someone told her that my dad was sleeping with another woman, she wouldn't believe it (and that it goes vice versa). She brought this up when I told her I had trust issues with my then-boyfriend, but I was left wondering if my parents had sex before they got married, ugh.
- I am obsessed with minidresses and wrap dresses.
- I like dressing up on weekends, even though I might just go grocery shopping in the morning then bake at home in the afternoon.
- When I have on my earbuds, I hear louder in my left ear than my right. This scares me.
- I like using other artists' color schemes when making artwork.
- Never use the color brown out of a tube unless it is burnt umber. Mix complementary colors to achieve different shades of brown to avoid making things look flat.
- Candy bar commercials on TV have no effect on me whatsoever.
- I think I'm mildly allergic to milk and alcohol (like most Asians), but I haven't seen a doctor for this.
- I always get tired of my current bottle of perfume before I am done with it and so I find another scent to wear. I swear I am not this way with guys.
- I do not like pencil drawings by me. They always look unfinished to me, so I use charcoal.
- I like oil paints better than acrylic, but it's a bitch to clean up afterwards.
- I write about things I know. Writing fiction isn't my thing right now.
- I believe in jinxes. I don't go as far as not walking under ladders or crossing the path of black cats.
- Ethnocentricity bothers me, especially from other Koreans.
- It bothers me that other east Asians take it as a compliment when they are mistaken for being Korean because they assume it means they look hot.
- Unusual, realistic stuffed animals are my favorite (raccoons, tigers, alligators, etc.).
- I still don't know the difference between "i.e." and "e.g." even though I've looked it up a thousand times.
- I like falling asleep to Chopin or a documentary on TV.
- I'm Asian but math-challenged. It's been like this since I was in the 1st grade. My report card would say, "Min loves to read and draw, but she is struggling in basic math." Go figure.
- I find shorts stifling. I prefer skirts and dresses.
- I look like my mom in a lot of my pictures. It makes sense but is still strange.
- I make a mean spicy tuna bowl. My sugar weenies (Lil' Smokies wrapped in bacon and covered in sugar) are pretty good too.
- I might have interstitial cystitis, but I don't want to see a urologist just yet. I just make sure to pee often and drink a lot of water.
- P.F. Chang's is overrated. Hole-in-the-wall, ghetto-ass Chinese restaurants are underrated.
- A lot of my friends think Korean food just consists of barbecued meat and kimchi, and I think they are right.
- I have a crummy, undefined jawline.
- I like oxford shirts and slacks.
- I like red velvet cupcakes, but it makes my poo red.
- I like paying more for organic items, even though there may be no noticeable difference between organic or non-organic things.
- I sign off letters and notes with my initials. It seems redundant for them to read an e-mail or letter from me with my full name at the beginning and end.
- John Mayer sings about every single emotion I've had, ever... and I don't care if he makes funny faces when he sings. I am going to see him sing live on June 22, 2007, and it will be rapturous. [update: it was indeed rapturous and THEN some...]
- I hope to age gracefully, inside and out.
