TEN Random Things About Me
10. I hate hate hate when tomato seeds (the EXACT color and consistency of boogers) soak through the bun on sandwiches. In fact, I would much rather eat boogers. Just not on sandwiches.
9. I love the harmonica - a joyful noise and a mournful lament in the same breath.
8. I spent eleven years in Chinese school and learned nothing. Everything I know is from conversing with my parents and various aunts and uncles.
7. I wore my Nickel Creek shirt today to Safeway. A dude saw and said "hey, the band right?" and I smiled. "Good, I was just trying to make sure it wasn't, like, a tourist attraction or something." "Oh, no, it's definitely the band... although I think there's a creek called Nickel in Texas." "Haha, but who goes to Texas... right?" ... I was born in Texas. But I didn't want to be That Girl who ruins attempts at sociability.
6. Sometimes I like the smell of sweat. But only my own. Sometimes.
5. I giggle when I see clearance racks with signs that advertise pants (ie, "Pants, 75% off"), every time.
4. I would have no qualms being a one hit wonder in the music business. However, I only sound good to myself, because I have the wondrous ability to tune everything else out and hear only the existing melody and voice in my head, like if I heard it off the radio or something.
3. I played the saxophone for one year in middle school.
2. I have spent so much time showing you how much I am the same that I have failed to show how I am different. Trust me, this is the case with everyone.
1. I have a tremendous crush on Jim Carrey. I am made ashamed of this every time he talks out of his butt.

aiyah it is NOT 'bogars'. that rhymes with ogres.
sashimi tastes like... a savory iceberg. i don't know. it's really good really cold though. it's a distinctive taste.
i'd imagine hurl jellybeans taste like hurl. but, you don't have to take my word for me it... (reading rainbow moment)
