Thanks Bippy ;)

Five things you might not know about me

1. When I was in sixth grade I had a perm, complete with a weird sausage-like bang formation going on. It was totally hot, and all the other Chinese girls started getting perms too. Those were the days... the early 90's...

2. I got my first kiss when I was 19, and he was a conservative Catholic farmboy from Minnesota. He said things like "sucker" and "pop." It was cute, but I'm not sure I actually liked him. I used him... for kissing.

3. As a child I loved, loved, loved going to the library. I could sit in there for hours and hours reading book after book, I took them to bed with me, in the car, in the bathroom (come on, prime reading time), to school... and I don't quite remember when but at some point in high school I developed a phobia of old books. By the time I got to college, I couldn't touch them without revulsion. I honestly cannot pinpoint the root - and it's still one of my biggest fears.

4. I secretly love math. Especially long division. In high school I would relish the moment I figured out all those really hard equations in calculus and chemistry. The math portion of the SAT? I never wanted it to end.

5. In the past four or five years I've developed an allergy to a number of fruits - apples, pears, kiwis, melons, and sometimes mangos. When I eat any of these, my lips, tongue, and throat itch, and my lips swell up and turn red. The only way around it is to cut the fruit up and soak the pieces in salt water for 10 minutes, and even then sometimes I still have a reaction. This is actually extremely sad, because I love fruit. :(

Now I want you to comment and tell me something I might not know about you! ;)
