random facts about me

... because having my own blog isn't narcissistic enough. ;)

• I'm really good at giving gifts
• I have massive amounts of respect for Quentin Tarantino
• If I had large amounts of disposable income I would spend it on traveling
• I don't think I've ever seriously considered a career that actually makes money. Unless you count middle school when I wanted to be a scientist.
• I really hate math, but I'm good at it. Or at least I used to be, until it became optional and I stopped taking it.
• I'm a huge advocate of education reform for pretty much every level of schooling available.
• I don't believe in "types"; I believe in standards.
• Guerrilla art is my favorite kind of art, because to me it does what art is supposed to do: it makes people look, and it makes a comment on society.
• I firmly believe that nice people finish last. Unfortunately I'm one of those people.
• I really like persimmons.
• I get antsy when I have nothing to do. So I end up overloading myself with work and stressing out.
• I think I have really nice hands.
• I'm a vegetarian who eats fish. Technically that makes me a pescetarian, but I feel like I don't eat fish often enough to be considered a pescetarian. I don't miss meat at all.
• I don't think I can live without writing. 
• M. Night Shyamalan is a douche for making The Last Airbender (okay, so that's not about me, but it needed to be said).
• I don't really have a best friend. At least not one that I wasn't romantically involved with at some point. I wish I did.
• The person that inspires me most is the Dalai Lama. Ask me about it some time.
• I love having conversations with strangers. 
• I do nice things for people to make up for being so selfish sometimes. It allows me to feel more at peace with myself.
• I think my cat, Coco, has mastered the art of Zen.
• Music isn't a big part of my life. I think it's because I'm always living in my own head. I feel at home in the silence.
• I have a scar somewhere on my head from volcano ash.
• I was born in the Philippines. 
• Ever since I was little I've always wished I had an older brother.
• I love me some Ultimate. I've never played frisbee golf.
• I like making lists.
• I like the Atlantic Ocean better than I like the Pacific. But I'll probably end up on the West coast. 
• I have a thing for tall guys. I already know what Freud would say about that.
• I'd rather have small get togethers than big parties.
• I'm a big fan of friend-dates. No one I've talked to seems to like that term, "friend-date." I guess I can see why.
• I value good conversations.

That's all, I guess.
