so i’ve decided it’s about time to write one of these things since it’s a lot better than studying for two midterms =)
1. when i was 5, and my sister was little, she’d get the good food – ice cream, good indian desserts, to get her to eat – i was so jealous one day that i spit my gum in her hair – and my grandma had to cut that chunk of her off her head. needless to say, i got yelled at, but i was amused - she looked like a little pebbles flintstone without the little tiny ponytail haha
2. i have this little peanut shaped birthmark on my right arm – ironically, im allergic to peanuts, cashews, almonds … you name it, im allergic to it =)
3. i have random pineapple coconut ice cream cravings when it rains – it has to be from rite aid, otherwise it’s no good
4. i clean when i’m stressed – not just my own stuff, but anything – my roommate’s stuff, a friend’s office desk … haha … interestingly, after i clean, i hate myself for wasting so much time cleaning instead of focusing on what i should’ve been doing ;)
5. i absolutely hate humidity – but as soon as i moved to dc 2 summers ago, i walked for miles on end (literally from the center to the white house to the capitol, to arlington national cemetery, you name it, i’ve walked there haha) in the 110 degree weather, with 60% humidity. that is how much i love dc.
6. i always, always loooved snakes, but i hate red ants and spiders.
7. in 7th grade, i remember feeling really dizzy after eating a burrito really fast after a food eating contest – and gave up eating burritos until senior year. i also gave up chinese food for a few years (i don’t remember the reasoning behind that) and pizza (for lent) – for almost 8 months. ..haha
8. i know resembling your dad has something to do with good luck – but i hate it. i also hate that i resemble my paternal grandma. if you know her, you know why … hahah
9. my light skin confuses people. never once have i been called indian (first) – i’ve been called afghani, pakistani, persian, you name it lol – don’t let the light skin fool you. i’m not north indian – i’m a pakka southie, baby haha
10. i’ve celebrated lent since 6th grade – i remember giving up cursing, aim, facebook, pizza, chocolate (yes, i’m allergic to it, but i eat it anyway and then suffer), and so many more things that now …. i’ve begun to choose things i actually will follow the rest of my life =)
11. to this day, i visit my favorite high school teachers – i feel hella old when i visit, but i do it anyway =) they shaped me to be who i am today =) ( raskin, currie, hizal, talle <3)
12. when i’m upset/depressed/sad, i write poetry/blog =) nothing like picking up a pen or type out your emotions and let the frustration wash over you =)
13. buying me gifts to cheer me up does nothing for me – but a simple phone call, a few kind words, or a hug does wonders =)
14. i’d do anything for my friends. even if it means putting myself through a tough time to make sure they’re okay <3
15. i hate wearing shoes. i’m a so-cal flip flop kinda gal, and that’s gonna be pretty hard to change when i move to dc =)
16. i’ve lived in middle earth for four years. i’m not as good at handling how noisy these freshmen used to be, but i love having so many people around =) i’m not one for too much alone time
17. i haven’t watched a disney/pixar animated movie since finding nemo. and that was still a struggle. there’s nothing like the classics =)
18. speaking of change, i’m not a fan of change (drastic change, but yes, change still) – but with 2009, i decided it was time for a drastic change. so i cut off 8.5” of my hair, and dyed it hahah
19. i looove being there for people. a little smile goes a long way =) sometimes everyone forgets how much a smile or a hug can do =)
20. valentine’s day has always been very interesting for me ;) i’m allergic to flowers (i know!), and chocolate (yeah….haha), but it’s def interesting to see what people come up with ;)
21. i’d never been to a broadway play … until thanksgiving of 2008 =)
22. my first pet was a beta fish (2006-07) – i got it the day i moved in to middle earth, and it died (somewhat perfectly since i was going to dc and pooji didn’t want to take care of it) on the day of move out
23. i start crying when i see someone else crying. it’s rather lame, actually … haha, but i love how people affect me so much =) (it’s a good and a bad thing, really)
24. i can't whistle, or snap. to this day.
25. i hate spelling errors. hate. sucks because the cute image i found has a spelling error. grr.
26. i never had a good indian friend til 8th grade. all my best friends up until then were anything but indian … haha
27. speaking of indian … i’m indian (a southie at that)– but i cannot handle spicy food. at all. it’s pathetic.
28. i have a funny perspective with friendships. i feel i need to constantly prove myself to someone that i'm worthy of their relationship.
29. i’ve had glasses since i was 2, and contacts since i was … 15? but i’ve never worn my contacts. it’s still sitting in a box underneath my bed.
30. i’ve never had a cavity. to this day. woot!
31. i love shopping. i have random days where i want to spend hours upon hours shopping, but those are the days i walk out with almost nothing bought. sadface…
i live by the motto live. laugh. love. learn. =d
