04:08 pm - 9 More Things to Make 25 Unknowns
So, I've been tagged in that "25 Things You Didn't Know About Me" by several people. I enjoyed reading about other people, so I hope if anyone reads this they'll feel the same. I've already done a 16-Things Note that you can find on my Facebook or here on my LJ. I'll add 9 more.
I'm hungry.
17. I dislike driving. I say “dislike” in that I’ll drive if I have to, but I’d rather have someone else do it or take public transportation. I equate ANY amount of driving (including parking) to the same amount of tedium needed to ride on public buses for 4+ hours or carrying metal rods and chains on BART (both of which I’ve done). Driving stresses me out and I’m usually not in a good mood when I arrive at my destination, especially when I’m with my mother.
18. In connection to above, I spent 6+ hours on BART one day, lugging 10 lbs.+ metal rods and chains all around the Bay Area. Literally.
Berkeley → Dublin/Pleasanton
Dublin/Pleasanton → San Francisco (during rush hour) → Richmond → Berkeley
19. I failed at making rice porridge for myself when I was sick. Twice. On the same batch. Even though I added more water it still turned out like mushy rice clumps. It was my first time, ok?
20. I don’t like the feeling of sweaty socks when I take off my shoes, so I will almost always take off my socks too.
21. I have over 200 DVDs and CDs burned with miscellaneous material. I like to hoard things, obviously. Even if I had an external hard drive, it probably wouldn’t be enough.
22. I hate wasting food. I recently ate week-old leftovers because I didn’t want to throw them away… even though all the taste had disappeared. Likewise, if I see a lot of food I will feel compelled to eat everything, or at least a little bit of everything. I think this comes from growing up with a kitchen that was either stocked one day or empty the next, thus producing a squirrel-like opportunistic tendency.
23. I have another squirrel-like tendency where I hide things in places so strange I figure I would definitely remember it, and that I would be the only one able to find it. And then I forget where they are. I still don’t know where my retainers are to this day.
24. I was tricked into going to Cambodia under the guise of a long winter break trip. The true purpose of the trip is a longer story. I’ll write it into a memoir or something. You can ask me for a summary if you like. That might motivate me to write it.
25. I once used a computer without a mouse for almost 3 months. It’s possible.
And then I had to use my computer without a keyboard for almost 3 weeks.
That’s also possible.
You appreciate both so much more after that.

08:38 pm - Double-Tagged?
[A Facebook meme I'm willing to do. Posted on LJ cuz it kills two birds with one stone.]
Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
( The List )
Thanks a lot Anna, now I've wasted a good portion of my Saturday night, lol. We do need to talk more often though. <3
