1) Only reason I’m doing this is because our internet has been down for 45 minutes and this is the only way to pass the time. I’m not actually caving in.

2) The day I was born it was the morning after Xmas at 5am, and as my dad went out to get the car to drive my mom to the hospital he saw someone stealing our radio ANd the car battery, leaving the car inoperable–he ended up calling a friend to drive them (us) to the hospital.

3) I was 120 lb in high school at the same height I am now, and strict regiments of Jack in the Box and Taco Bell pushed me up some 60 pounds since then.

4) Speaking of high school I can’t recall maybe more than 2 or 3 times that I talked to a single girl that wasn’t a teacher back then for more than 6 minutes in real life…online I was a P.I.M.P.

5) My sister severely wished I was a girl and used to put dresses on me..I’ve secretly hidden all the pictures of this in a place no one will find.

6) When I was 7 I fell off my bike face first to the cement that left me grotesquely scarred for many weeks after. I tried to avoid mirrors at all cost and luckily I was too short to see my face in the bathroom mirror. Also it was summer so I didn’t have to go to school and face kids staring at me everyday.

7) My favorite athletes growing up were David Robinson and Dan Marino.

8) I had a major obsession with dinosaurs growing up that we’d go to the library every week and I’d get a new book on dinosaurs every time until there were no more. I had the heights, lengths, and weights of most of the major dinosaurs memorized.

9) I have an uncanny ability to fall asleep onboard trains/planes within 2 minutes of sitting down, even if I’m not that tired.

10) First movie I ever cried to was Good Will Hunting.

11) My little cousins that I talk to online think I’m both the coolest person in the world as well as the biggest loser.

12) I’ve been to Vietnam and through 6 countries of Europe but never east of Houston in the US.

13) I never had any white friends pre-UCLA and currently don’t have any Asian friends that I hang out with regularly.

14) I go on AIM/gchat late at night when I’m drunk and can talk to people for over an hour and not have them suspect a thing–the next morning when I reread the conversation I don’t remember a single thing that was said. My drunken grammar is impeccable.

15) I have severe ADD sometimes..holy shit a bird outside!

16) People on several occassions have asked me “why I’m the way I am”…see #5.

17) Chris Mullin was also a hero of mine, and #17 was his #.

18) My sister and I had pet ducks as kids (mine was cooler) that were hatched from eggs my dad stole from a pond at a library. When we had to go away on a trip we released them backto the library, they kept on following us back to the car.

19) No one believes that I’m Vietnamese, especially when I was Vietnam. I lack a lot of Asian features such as a small nose, lack of eye-lid fold, straight teeth, and I’m not 5′1.

20) In 4th grade I made fun of a kid in front of other kids and some snitch told him and he told our mean, fat vice principal. I said something to the extent of “I’m going to come here in 10 years to visit Michael because he’ll still be here”. It was my only time in my life that I got detention.

21) I got through UCLA math classes by befriending smart kids and doing homework with them. I passed the weeder upper division class with a 15/50 on the midterm and a 30/100 on the final, with a B.

22) I was generally one of the tallest kids growing up until I stopped growing in 8th grade that I’d slouch a lot to try to fit in with everyone else.

23) When I was 13-14 I would debate about video cards and CPUs online, as well as the WWF well into the middle of the night. I was anti-Nvidia and Intel, and pro 3dfx and AMD.

24) I hate having the second fastest tetris score and typing speed out of my friends on facebook.

25) When I was young my mom took me to the mall one day and talked to a security guard who I thought was a police officer and got him to to convince me that if you don’t wear a seatbelt in a car you’d be arrested. From then on I instantly put my seat belt on before I even enter a car.

26) Santa Claus used to scare the shit out of me.

27) I’m a rebel.
