1. Feist (singer/songwriter) is amazing and possibly my favorite musician
2. I make websites just for fun, but if you'd like to buy one, it can be arranged ;)
3. I was a graphics designer/adventure guide layout designer for Outdoor Excursions for two years
4. I'm a DJ -- house/electro
5. I'm a waitress at a Mexican restaurant and I love Mexican food and Mexicans
6. This summer I went on a trip to Argentina, Urugauy, and Brazil and it was absolutely amazing
7. Seeing Iguacu Falls (the widest waterfall in the world) changed my beliefs on the world/God
8. Watching the sunset/listening to music on the desolate Honey Island in Brazil made me, surprisingly, fall in love with Jack Johnson
9. I'm deeply interested in Philosophy and the whole, "why are we here?" question/theories
10. I'm a political science major who is very interested in politics but hates them at the same time and needed to add a major (philosophy) in order to not be surrounded by poly sci major lunatics my whole college career.
11. A stray cat who used to come around my apartment complex had kittens in the backyard and I took one of them/raised it and now she's sleeping at my feet while I finish this assignment
12. My cat's name is Maybee because every time I asked for name suggestions and people gave me awful/stupid names, I often replied with, "Maybe"
13. Maybe is also the name of my favorite character on Arrested Development, which is my favorite show
14. Lately I've been wondering if Curb Your Enthusiasm is my favorite show instead
15. I say I want to be a lawyer, but what I really want is to be a musician
16. I am a musician. I play trombone, clarinet, and guitar-- but what I meant was a famous musician ;)
17. I smoke cigarettes constantly and I hate it/love it at the same time
18. I believe horoscopes are bullshit, but lately have read into it and coincidentally, a Libra's ideal career would be either a lawyer, fashion designer, interior decorator, or artist-- I want all of these things
19. I love interior design and I'm obsessed with making my room look like an HGTV episode of ColorSplash
20. I love Project Runway-- Holler at cha boy!
21. I wish I wasn't so entertained by certain Television shows so I could talk more about all the books I've read, which leads me to say, I wish i read more books
22. Over the summer, I traveled with a group of Australian guys who were lovely, but if I hear an Australian accent again, I may punch someone
23. I've had three iPods, my digital camera, two cell phones, and my car stolen from me
24. My car was stolen on Watkins, and one cell phone was stolen FROM Radio Shack! (Yes, on Chicago)
25. Many people misjudge me right away because I have a very expressive face-- oftentimes people think I'm a bitch
26. I don't want to be seen as a bitch because I don't think I am
27. I am willing to befriend anyone and immediately, and I also try to find the good in everybody. Unfortunately, this usually leads to being taken advantage of or mistreated
28. Because of my poor friend experiences in the past, I've become a more closed-off person. I'm constantly struggling to find that balance. Where is that perfect space between being too trusting and too skeptical?
29. People always tell me I'm really gullible, but it doesn't make sense because, did you know that that word was actually removed from the dictionary?
30. I have three siblings, all over the age of 30
31. My oldest sister, Kathy, just turned 40, is a professor of dentistry at USC, and I know this sounds terrible to say, but she's my favorite sibling
32. Are we allowed to have favorite family members? I sometimes wonder random things
33. In fact, I recently started keeping this small journal so I could write down all the random crap I think about-- doesn't mean my questions are going to be answered
34. I used to have a "thing" for foreigners, but after dating a few, have realized that all I need is an American boy (that's a good song, you know)
35. I used to drive a Jeep Wrangler and, to this day, I believe it's the greatest car in the world, but It broke down and my parents sold it while I was away in Brazil without my knowing (thank you mom and dad)
36. I now drive a bright gold '91 Honda... woo!.... :(
37. Clubs seriously make me feel weird and I get really afraid to dance in front of people, but the truth is I actually think I'm a good dancer and I love it
38. I hope I never have kids before the age of 29
39. When/If I do have kids, I would be totally ok with them having pets
40. I pledged for a sorority my freshman year and I am so glad I didn't go through with it-- what a load of expensive bullshit
41. I think this assignment is awesome because it gives everyone a chance to brag about themselves as a requirement!
42. In High School, I was an editor of my newspaper, and enjoy making fun of how terrible the Highlander is, however, I also am planning to join the Highlander this year to make it better! ;) (Sorry if i offended any highlander paper people, I really don't know how hard you guys work)
43. When I have free time at school, I really like to go to the Rivera Library and find a computer. Then I open previous documents/essays that people who I don't know wrote and saved on the desktop. I then send the document to a couple friends or just read it to myself and make fun of how bad some of the writing is. Even though I love doing this, and get a "kick" out of it every time, I still (sort of) feel bad because it could happen to me! But this doesn't stop me.
44. This is probably common with you too, but I usually feel like I have something really cool/insightful to say aloud during class, but hesitate or prevent myself from saying it because I'm afraid of what other students will think.
45. My goal this year is to overcome this fear, because I also have an extreme paranoia of what other people (who I don't know) think of me
46. High school was a miserable time for me, and I am so thankful to be in college-- I love college
47. Like our TA, I too have a bracelet I've been wearing for a while. Not quite as long (mine's been there for two years only) but still quite a while, and cool/made out of hemp-- unfortunately, I can see it might break soon *tear*
48. I've lived in the mountains for the past 6 years, where it snows, and have never been snowboarding (but can't wait to try)
49. Top Ramen is amazing because I'm extremely broke/poor and wish I had parents that payed for my tuitions, but at the same time, I appreciate that they can't because it's (hopefully) teaching me to be more independent
50. I actually do consider myself to be i.n.d.e.p.e.n.d.e.n.t. do you know what that means, man?
In high school, I was in varsity cheerleading, and for our last rally, my coach would not let me participate in the dance. Her reasoning was that I had missed too many baskeball games (which I had legitimate excuses for--uh, I lived in the fucking mountains where fires occured, give me break). So, being somewhat o.k. with the whole thing, I let it go, however, as I was watching the rally, I noticed a girl who wasn't even a cheerleader dancing in the rally! I was outraged (this was against my coach's own bylaws) so I approached her about the situation. Instead of talking it over with me, she literally put her hand in my face (as if to say, "talk to the hand") and walked away. Later that day, a group of psychotic cheerleaders came up to be and cursed at me in front of everyone! A few more days went by, and my only friends who were in cheerleading (all two of them) stopped being my friends! One of them is currently a sorority girl now here at UCR and it's incredibly awkward when I see her on campus. I also had found out that my coach had been showing other girls confidential information and test scores of her english students and about me! Because of all these reasons (and more) I wrote a letter to the superintendant and all board members about her actions and they immediately had her removed from coaching. This was one of the main events in my life that made me realize I really wanted to be a lawyer. Revenge is a dish best served cold. No, actually, I don't like to refer to it as revenge, let's just say, justice. (By the way, please don't be scared of me because of this, this was a long and drawn-out situation that became very complicated over a very long period of time, I doubt a situation like this would ever occur again) Besides, this whole story may not even be true, right?
