  • These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...

    I was tagged for 16 random facts by bluemarsupial and ihsankhairir.  But that does not mean that I'll give you 32 facts.  16 is plenty.
    1. The reason I haven't been on xanga is because school is crazy and engineering is crazier.  I still like it though.
    2. I recently realized that I really don't have any hobbies anymore.  My hobbies now are homework and doing stuff for engineering societies.  I am so lame. 
    3. The one hobby I do have is cooking, which I enjoy very much.
    4. I think my roommates and I would make a great FOX animated sitcom, like Family Guy.  I would be the nerdy guy's girl in a long-term relationship, my roommate in the room next to mine would be the girly sorority girl who likes dating and parties and dresses, and my newest roommate would be the black albino almost-blind Muslim girl.  Because she is black, albino, almost blind, and Muslim.  I'm completely serious.
    5. I vacuumed my room today.  I don't know why that should be interesting.
    6. I bought a Pulp Fiction poster to hang in the living room at the yearly campus poster sale.  I hung it up without telling either of my roommates, because when my girly roommate and I were decorating (before my other roommate moved in) she didn't like any of the posters that I liked and we ended up buying a generic ye olde world map.  Recently, I've been helping my girly roommate with her Chemistry homework.  She always says things like "Thank you SO MUCH, I'm totally going to buy milk for the next 3 weeks" and "You're SO AMAZING; I'm going to do dishes for you forever."  But I always still buy my own milk and do my own dishes.  So if she complained about my awesome Pulp Fiction poster, I was going to tell her that it was my payment for helping her with Chemistry.  As it turned out though, she liked it a lot, so I couldn't use my great plan.  Now I have to think of something else...
    7. When I look out my window, I have the incredible view of a road with lots of construction.  Woohoo.
    8. I'm incredibly excited to watch The Office season premiere tonight! 
    9. Because I had some business-like events to go to a few weeks ago, I bought a pair of dress pants, a dress shirt, and a pack of trouser socks.  I was extremely proud of myself for looking professional, but after I had worn the same outfit several times over 2 weeks, I almost went insane.  I am currently happily sporting my jeans and t-shirts around campus until the next time looking fancy is absolutely necessary.
    10. I want to be a ninja for Halloween.  D said I should be a zombie ninja, but I said that doesn't make sense because Japan does not have zombies.  So I am going to be a NORMAL ninja.  However, I don't even know yet if I will have anything to dress up for.  But if I do, I will be a ninja.
    11. I'm on the aerie "a-list," which basically means that every month, they give me a free gift.  So far though, all the gifts have been ridiculously lame, so I hope they get better soon.
    12. I own two staplers.  One sits on my desk; the other goes in my backpack.
    13. I can do a backwards somersault.  This is the only acrobatic stunt of any kind that I have ever been able to do.  My pathetic, non-athletic, inflexible body could never even do a cartwheel.
    14. In high school, a few of my friends and I used to pretend to act out Lord of the Rings at the playground, kind of like how little kids pretend to be the Power Rangers or whatever they pretend to be nowadays.  We would go after dinner time after all the little kids had gone home.  My favorite thing to be was the Ghost Army because it meant I got to run around the playground with my arms spread out and swoosh down upon the armies of Sauron.... or was it Saruman?  My memory is fuzzy now.  I used to be an expert.
    15. The road outside my window is currently very congested in the northbound direction.
    16. I'm hungry.
    I'm not going to tag anyone since I don't know who's done it since I haven't been around.  I miss being here though so I hope I'll have a little more free time soon!

    What area of engineering are you majoring in? My sophomore year roommate was an aerospace engineering major, and he probably spent more time sitting at his desk studying and doing homework that year than all my other college roommates put together.


    That sounds like a good setup for a sitcom, animated or otherwise. As long as it wasn't too Family Guy-ish with the bizarre conversations that end with lines like, "Oh we love having guests over at our apartment, except for that one time Moby Dick came over".

    oh i'll tag myself since you won't tag me   i think acting out lord of the rings sounds cool for being a little kid on a play ground. all my friends did was play horses or something lame and weird like that.  at least ya'll had imagination

    @spartan26 - I'm an electrical engineer.  It definitely keeps you busy.  I can't enough doing aerospace though!  That's probably a lot harder.   Whenever my life is a sitcom, I think I'll want it to not have weird, totally off-topic conversations.  That is one thing about Family Guy that sometimes is funny and all the rest of the time is really, really annoying.

    @NightlyDreams - I hereby tag NightlyDreams. =) And yes, I played horses too.  And dogs.  And probably aliens.

    Interesting... come to think of it... No Asian countries have zombies!  Maybe they are immune?  This must be looked into further.

  • sigma_C_eq

    @Legendairy - Well everything in Asia is completely haunted.  Maybe so much that even zombies are scared away.
