| Thanks for a greeeatt birthday guys. It was a pleasure having you at
the BBQ, and if you couldn't make it that's okay. I also appreciated
all the IMs, phone calls, texts, and Facebook messages. It was really
sweet of you all. :)

| Since I read Cang's thing in his Xanga I guess I'm tagged and I have to
say 20 random facts about me and however long I take is how many people
I have to tag.
1) I actually like the smell of tobacco before its lit and I actually
enjoy smoking cigars. I haven't done it in months, but I enjoy it
enough where if someone offers me one I will take a puff. I can't smoke
a whole cigar it'll make me sick but I just like the taste of the
cigar. Yes, I know it's bad for me.
2) I don't like pickles, grapefruit, watercress, or mustard. I can
tolerate nearly all of these but if I can I try to avoid them.
3) My best friend from fifth to eighth grade is now an internet porn star, so hear. I don't really want to look it up.
4) I took ballet for a year when I was about three. I really hated it, not for the ballet, but because I hated performing.
5) I hate public speaking. Apparently I can fake it pretty well,
but I hate it. As I've gotten older I've gotten better at it, but it
still makes me shake all crazy.
6) I used to not talk at all. I used to be really shy and hide behind
my parents whenever anyone would try to talk to me. This changed
sometime in 3rd grade when Mrs. Brown said I was antisocial so I
decided to prove her wrong. Blame Mrs. Brown.
7) I have to use a 3/4 size guitar because my fingers aren't long
enough to bridge accross. Or else I have to use my thumb to bridge the
rest. This is why I haven't picked up the guitar since sophmore year of
high school.
8) I played the clarinet for eight years and the piano for two years.
9) One of my favorite books when I was a child was the World Almanac,
when I was kid I'd scour that thing for weird facts. I wish I had a
copy now. It used to make me think I'd be like a statistics major until
I realized math was not my forte.
10) I am allergic to beef, if I eat it in large quanities I break out
in hives. I think. It's weird but it could be a specific kind of beef.
It runs in my family.
11) My spending habits have changed a lot since I got job. I spend a
lot more money on going out and clothes than I ever did before because
I think I don't feel guilty for it since I percieve it to be my money.
Which I'm trying to change back to saving now.
12) I used to have a guinea pig named Scooter, then I got another one
and I think we named it Yoda. They were really cute, and I'd get one if
my cat wouldn't eat it.
13) My cat doesn't have a name. She's seven years old. I just call her
MewMew or MeowMeow when I want her to tell her something or I just
scream "cat." It's more charming that way.
14) I eat small children. Actually, I can awp really well in CS:S, but
I'd rather use an AK. I only awp to out awp all the other people who
*think* they're good at it.
15) My favorite candy is sour candy or sour gummi candy that is fruit flavored. I don't like Starbursts or Skittles very much.
16) Speaking of candy I don't like chocolate very much unless it's with
stuff like nuts, toffee, or caramel. I like caramel and toffee a lot
more. I, however, do like chocolate flavored things like chocolate
milk, cake, and pudding. I don't like chocolate ice cream very much, but I really love ice cream
17)My favorite cheese is brie, when I was a kid it was smoked Gouda. Though I really do like sharp cheddar too.
18) I swore to myself that I would never get married before the age of
26 because the statistics of a successful marraige get a lot higher at
the age of 27. I read a lot of World Almanac.
19) I am pretty convinced that if I'm going to have kids it'll be a
baby boy. Maybe because that's what I want because I think I'd be a
much better Mom for a boy than a girl. Face it, boy's toys do more and
they're way cooler.
20) If I had a girl I'd want to name her Audre or Madeline. I like
those French names. If I had a boy I don't know what I'd want to name
him. I've always been tempted to name him something Scandinavian just
to ruin his life especially if he had an Asian last name. Like maybe
Thor Chang, or Hans Tran, or Sven Lee. It'd be sweet, except he'd hate
his mother and I'd lose cool points.
I don't tag anyone. I end the madness here. Though if you want to feel
special you can say I tagged you and you can write stuff on your blog
too. | | |
| Whoa. They totally changed this Xanga editing thing. Just wanted to say
to the Xanga that I was alive and that I update the website but not the
Xanga again because I am lazy. Hope everyone has a good year, ya dee ya
dee ya dee, and welcome back.
Crystal hearts you all. Really, I do.

"A
United Nations appeal in November for help for Niger was all but ignored. Another
appeal in March for $16 million resulted in about $1 million in contributions.
Even as world attention was focused on Africa
last month at a Group of 8 summit of the world's richest nations, little
happened. Niger
was offered debt forgiveness, but nothing was done about the hunger issue.
The crisis underscores one of the long-standing problems
faced by international relief agencies.
It is much easier to raise money once
starvation has set in and children are dying than to prod donors to head off a
looming crisis." - Yahoo! News
Donate
to relieve the Nigerian hunger crisis. | | |
