everything you didn't need/want to know
I stole this brilliant procrastinating tool from Naima, who stole it from someone else...but I'm cutting it down from 120 to 101 because I don't think I can dig deep enough for the extra 19....HERE WE GO.
DEBO 101:
1. I love pickles and can eat them with virtually anything.
2. Actually, when it comes to food I'm like a pregnant woman in that I consume massive amounts of it, and have intense cravings for random things all the time.
3. One of the things I value the most is an open mind. I have absolutely no patience when it comes to narrow-minded people.
4. I can only handle sweets in small doses.
5. I've been using the same type of pen for the past 4 years or so: Pilot P-500 Extra Fine 0.5
6. Seeing childhood pictures can make me all sappy and emotional.
7. I have an obsessive personality.
8. I love taking pictures.
9. People have always viewed me as emotionally mature/very serious. I don't know what to make of that.
10. I hate being passed over and can be needy for attention; I blame the Leo in me for that.
11. I think these lists are for the self-obsessed. I fall into this category, and delude myself into thinking that other people care enough about me to read all about me. You don't have to. Or if you want to humor me, go ahead.
12. My family means the world to me, and I don't acknowledge that enough.
13. I have a weakness for puppies and small cute children. A perfect example is the Cottonelle commercial with the golden retriever puppies (voice: Zach Braff!)....gets me every time.
14. I'm selfish.
15. Sadly, I'm a phenomenal liar. There is not a single person in this world who knows the truth about every part of my life. You know some truths, and lots of lies. My family is not exempt. I think I'm afraid of being completely naked and vulnerable about my life. Or some bullshit like that.
16. I will never stop learning.
17. Nor will I ever stop loving, as amazingly cheesy as that seems.
18. I have horrendous eyesight; this is mostly due to the fact that I spent a good chunk of my childhood reading in bed, most likely with insufficient lighting.
19. Sometimes, I am a frantic awkward bumbling mess of a girl.
20. Sometimes, I give off the impression that I'm a very graceful and elegant being.
21. I may have multiple personality disorder. I really wouldn't be surprised.
22. I come from a super religious family. As for myself, can't say I'm a fan of organized religion. I'm all for "spirituality", but that's where I draw the line.
23. If you want to lose my respect, be a dishonest person. This applies to someone near and dear to me right now, and it's sad but so true. Respect goes down the drain.
24. I can mimic people and habits and etc fairly well. I used to think I would make a fantastic actor because I realized how easy it was to convincingly turn into another personality.
25. I've always been drawn to book series; they're what got me addicted to reading. It started with the Boxcar Children, then the Baby-Sitter's Club, Agatha Christie, and even now - Harry Potter, LOTR....it goes on. Which leads me to #26...
26. I am a huge dork. Enough said.
27. I've never been able to answer the question of what would be worse, being blind vs. being deaf.
28. I am a gay man trapped in a woman's body. There is much evidence to support this theory.
29. I'm Korean. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
30. I plan on having an extensive library someday.
31. I wish I was a better cook.
32. I think Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes is overrated.
33. Germaphobe. I don't know if that's the correct spelling (fuck, there goes the spelling bee legacy) but that's what I am. An extremely germ-conscious person.
34. Jazz is another word for liberation.
35. I want to help people. Whether it's through music or through social work/politics doesn't matter. Those are minor details. I don't want to keep living a self-absorbed life.
36. My heart hurts when I think about living my life without my dad in it. Of course I love my mother, but our relationship is very different...ugh, I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it. Moving on.
37. I've been everywhere in the U.S except the southeast/deep south.
38. I've never gotten trashed to the point of puking.
39. I used to play the flute,and began piano lessons when I was 3. Somewhere along the way there was one failed violin lesson.
40. I think I rock at Mario Kart.
41. I have 11.6 days worth of music on my (filtered) iTunes library. In the actual unfiltered library I have 13 days worth.
42. I'm convinced I have the sweetest brother in the world. His name is Sam (or better known as "SAMOH!!")
43. I used to have so many gelly roll/milky way pens back in middle school, it was scary.
44. Oh god, middle school.
45. Guilty pleasures: celebrity gossip, reading peoples' blogs, mcdonalds.
46. I've never been to White Castle or Outback Steakhouse. And I don't know if I really care.
47. My hands have a tendency to be cold and clammy. I don't know why.
48. I daydream a lot.
49. It scares me that Nick at Nite now consists of Full House and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Are we that old?
50. Huge huge fear of bugs; most of you already know this.
51. In the second grade, I really wanted to be a dolphin trainer.
52. I win the award for failing to keep in touch with people. I seriously fail at this.
53. A good perfume can do wonders for my confidence.
54. So can alcohol.
55. One way to steal my heart: recite Keats. I'll probably swoon. And then ask you to marry me.
56. I've never been out on a real date. This makes me sad.
57. I have a habit of singing along to music. Any music, any song I know. It must piss people off, but I can't help it. Oh and sometimes I'll harmonize to it.
58. I hate not smelling nice. Body odor really truly grosses me the fuck out.
59. I think it would be really difficult/nearly impossible for me to date someone I wasn't already (good) friends with.
60. I love cuddling. And I hate the fact that I have no one to cuddle with.
61. I am so self-conscious. It's like a disease.
62. I can't sit through horror/suspense/violent movies. I don't care if they're classics.
63. As soon as I get home, I have to change into my comfy schlep clothes.
64. My favorite flowers are orchids. And tulips. But orchids are #1.
65. I'm good at being invisible.
66. I love eating out. If I wasn't a broke college student I would probably eat out every night.
67. Whenever I feel crazed and out of sync, I go to the Met and wander around by myself for an hour or so. It always works in centering me.
68. I don't have a set group of friends.
69. I want to become fluent in French.
70. I kind of want to try acting. I feel like I wouldn't be half bad, but I also feel like no one would give me a chance.
71. I give good massages. Or so I'm told. I guess it's the piano hands.
72. I like folding laundry.
73. I'm often inspired while on the subway.
74. I've yet to spend an evening at the opera.
75. I love anything with pesto. I fucking love pesto.
76. I am partial to short, abrupt sentencing, as can plainly be seen in this monstronsity of a list.
77. I desperately need two things: a digital camera, and a new ipod.
78. ...and a boyfriend. Make that three things.
79. I'm not into dairy products and am convinced that I am semi-lactose intolerant.
80. I could never quit Manhattan.
81. I could never quit Alaska.
82. I can, on the other hand, quit Jersey. Very easily.
83. The first CD I ever bought was a Celine Dion one. Or maybe someone bought it for me, I can't remember.
84. I think music can be a form of spirituality (but I'm not talking Ashlee Simpson).
85. The nickname "Debo" was created by none other than Elena, freshman year of highschool during lunch one day.
86. I want my own website...for my music and such. Or better yet, someone could make a fansite! That would be hilarious.
87. I just want to have a jam session with some other musicians.
88. I've "performed" at Carnegie Hall 3 times, I think. Once alone and twice for a choral thing.
89. I wear a necklace that I got at an antique store in Alaska almost every day because it reminds me of home.
90. The longest, most meaningful relationship I've had is with my baby grand piano: 12 years and going strong!
91. I feel embarassed for people who drunk dial.
92. I don't tan, I burn.
93. I'm a wimp when it comes to sushi: I stick with tuna and salmon.
94. I enjoy Vogue. There, I said it.
95. I'm a good listener, always have been.
96. When I'm very upset, I completely shut down.
97. I've always wondered what category my laugh falls into: abrasive? contagious? annoying?
98. I am a dog person.
99. I adore little cafes and little bookstores.
100. I have a poem that is going to be published in the Asian American Writers Workshop's Youth Anthology. Although now that I think about it, I haven't heard from them in a while......
101. I want to have a PB&J sandwich before I die.
