fact #12

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I go to my Blogger archives and click on the past year's correlating month. I hope to one day have decades (okay, this is a stretch...five years, maybe?) of memoires sitting here for me to digitally sift through.

What a wonderful thought.

Also, I borrowed Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations today. Look how my reading choices have matured! Although, to be honest, GE was included in TTC, and I probably won't read it this time around, so...

fact #11

So basically, Facebook owns me based solely on the amount of photos I have on there...not even bad pictures, just pictures of my life and day-to-day nuances. It's scary. But I can't stop.

Waiting for the day FB gets outdated and I proceed to re-upload everything to the next big social networking system...except at this rate, I don't think it'll ever happen (I hope. Too much life already invested in Zuckerberg).

Wheee.

fact #10

I always want to go shopping because I constantly browse online (like right now), but when I do go in person, I never want to buy anything. Dilemma.

fact #9

I was thought have a form of dyslexia for some time when I was younger...my piano theory teacher noticed that I had a difficult time comprehending lengthy test questions and often read things wrong. To this day, I still make fairly notable slip-ups of the sort, though I've taught myself to just be more careful and slow in my skimming. I feel like I could have been properly diagnosed, but my parents aren't ones to drive their kids to a doctor when something has a possibility of being wrong. Brute force correction goes a long way.

fact #8

I'm passive-aggressive. Sorry. I really try not to be.

fact #7

Seven and thirteen are my favorite numbers. I like twenty-seven a lot, too. And just plain three.

fact #6

I'm not ready for college

fact #5

I brush my teeth while the shower water is warming up.

fact #4

I have a hard time with books; not because I feel like I'm partially dyslexic (another fun fact for another time), but rather because I get consumed by what I'm reading. And I mean full-blown immersed in each book. You know how Harry Potter turned so many kids towards reading because of the "new world" it created? I get that feeling for pretty much every novel, and it's hard to let go once I'm done with the book. Too nostalgic for my own good.

Right now, I'm wrapped up in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Not sure how I haven't read this before--it was always on my book list--but I'm almost done (already). Had to drag myself away to elongate it. But then that pushes me to start imagining the scenes and over-thinking it again...

fact #3

The other day, I tried to write a fact on Blogger and the site was down. That's the first time I've ever had that happen to me. I also can't remember what the fact was.

Poo.

fact #2

I might as well do these everyday. Or whenever I can't think of something to write, to get back in the habit. Ah, how do I come up with such good ideas? ;) Just kidding.

Two:

In the summertime, I sleep perpendicular to my bed, with feet and arms dangling off. It probably has something to do with skin not touching bed = less heat, but anyway, I'm so ready to slip back into that routine!

Going to eat lunch now (but it's so earlyyyy), and then AP Statistics. I am so ready to be done with all this testing; the chances of me doing very well? Well, let's look at the expected values and compare them to the sample...

fact #1

(Actually, I know I did a few of these types of posts before so it technically isn't the first, but nonetheless!)

The sounds of construction soothes me. It's like white noise; I can fall asleep within a moment's notice when I hear it. This is probably because I tend to sleep in cars and doze off to the drone of tires against pavement...but anyway, it's become very applicable to me recently, as the road outside my house is undergoing renovations in the evening. Something about the blinding night lights (my room window conveniently just faces the wrong angle to be hit by it. Thankfully. I don't know how my neighbors deal...) and mundane-turned-magical quality of the dust rising from the earth makes me feel at ease. It helps that I'm not waiting in an endless queue in the midday sun, sneezing/eyes watering because of the dirt particles, else this would likely be a complaining post.

Back to Statistics. I think if I had invested more time this past weekend, I would definitely ace the AP. However, as this isn't true, I will just have to deal with a few hours of cramming! Good thing it's an afternoon test. Good thing I can't really get credit at Cal for passing this. Bad thing I'm required and had to pay $80 to take it...blah.

day twenty-three

Fifteen facts about you

1) I was born in California and I think my brief time there does influence the pace at which I live and how I interact with others.

2) I am getting an iPhone 4 today...it was already delivered earlier, but I wasn't home so now I have to wait hopefully only another half an hour :).

3) I had stick-straight "asian" hair up until sixth grade; now, it's curly.

4) I wear a heart-shaped ring from my parents on my right hand, which I never take off.

5) I probably have smaller hands than you and everyone you have ever met in your life.

6) I believe in quality over quantity and therefore trust in name-brands a little too much.

7) I cannot get enough of avocados, ever since traveling to Haiti last summer :).

8) I am conversational in French, although I was even better over the summer.

9) I can improvise on the piano and have a knack at picking up instruments (does in no way mean that I am gifted at playing them, though)

10) I remember an oddly large number of my dreams.

11) I'm only competitive when the ball comes to me.

12) I want to visit all seven continents.

13) I set my alarm clock to 15 minutes before I am actually awoken so that I can get out of the deep sleep cycle and not be cranky in the morning.

14) My roof is both my most inaccessible and favorite place to relax.

15) I love the weather right before it rains.

day six

Whatever tickles your fancy

...Uhhh...

Fun fact: I had a fruit-fly infestation in my room a few weeks ago. They disappeared after many days of manually smashing them, but just recently (today) I saw three in my bathroom...and one just flew past my Mac, which is why I started writing about it...and now that I look at my window, I see a whole bunch again.

Time to whip out the fly-killing apparatus.

Bah.
