me.
well, according to clara, you're not a good blogger unless you do this list. that's ok, i'm not a real blogger, but i'll do it anyway ;)
1- i have no fucking idea what i want to do with my life.
2- dolphins used to be my favorite animal... until i actually swam with one. that kinda ruined it for me.
3- everett is my brother from a different mother. when we were younger, nobody really understood that. everybody kept telling us that we were in love with each other because we were so close, and we'd get really mad. eventually, they realized that we would rather eat dirt than kiss each other. i was thinking of making him my maid of honor someday. i'm kinda pissed that hollywood stole that idea (made of honor-- new movie)
4- mom and i have lived in seven houses/apartments/condos in my entire life. i think that's what helped me not be such a brat, 'cause you know how only childs can be.
5- i wasn't bratty, but i sure as hell was bossy! i outgrew that nasty trait (mostly lol) when i joined the cottages in fourth grade.
6- i was born, raised, and will die a californian.
7- my first and last name together basically means dark, beautiful flower of the sea. cool, huh?
8- nine out of ten times that i meet somebody new, they'll ask me if i'm hawaiian. i'm half asian and half white, thankyouverymuch.
9- i don't have a favorite color. some days, it'll be purple. other days, it'll be orange. but it is never, ever, ever pink.
10- i used to say that i cannot like a song unless i know the words. however, lately i've started to appreciate music for the music itself. but yeah, i'm one of those people who say lyrics are more important.
11- speaking of which, maroon 5 is my all-time favorite band, although i've recently discovered a new band that i really, really love-- motion city soundtrack. check out L.G. Fuad, The Future Freaks Me Out, and (my favorite) This Is For Real.
12- food pet peeve #1: when somebody just takes a piece of my food without asking, even if they know i won't eat it. i don't care who you are, what food it is, ask, goddamn it, ask!
13- i lovelove tie-dye, which is why i can't decide if it's a good thing that tie-dye's popular again. on one hand, it means shopping's a lot more fun. on the other, it means i'll see fifty-three other girls in tie-dye bikinis this year.
14- i secretly (whoops, not anymore!) hope that someday, someone will write me an adam sandler love song. not ABOUT him, but LIKE him. he writes the best lyrics ever.
15- i like looking at my stomach in the mirror when i hiccup. you should try it sometimes.
16- peacocks live my apartment area for some reason.
17- i'm scared of vampires.
18- i'm too careless sometimes, or i like to tempt fate. ie: i was in a really bad car accident my freshman year. wearing a seatbelt probably saved my life, but a lot of times i still forget to put it on.
19- i was born on a sunday.
20- you know the dream wedding every little girl dreams of? i didn't have one.
21- clara and i promised ourselves we would never return to las vegas until we were this age (<------).
22- my parents divorced when i was two yrs old, and as much as i wish i had grown up with both of them, i wouldn't trade my childhood with mom for anything.
23- everybody says i walk just like her.
24- food pet peeve #2: when i get my order wrong. seriously, once my mom brought me a different kind of sandwich than what i usually order from subway, and i nearly cried.
25- i'm kind of hungry now.
26- the summer of '05 was the worst summer of my life. and the best. but the summer where i grew the most.
27- i wonder if i'll have sophomore blues.
28- i used have such a weak bladder that i'd pee whenever i laughed hard enough. thanks for the many uncomfortable situations, mallory.
29- i lost my passport in germany once, and i nearly didn't go to greece with my international studies group.
30- if reincarnation exists, then i probably was a fish in a past life.
31- gallaudet is the second school i've ever gone to in my life, and i've never been so judged. i went from a place where students in every department, teachers, counselors, administrators, EVERYBODY knew me to a place where my friends had to defend me, where i was labeled snobby several times, where i dealt with girls not liking me, where half of the school had no idea who i was. it was a real learning experience.
32- my favorite body part is my feet.
33- i inherited my mom's love for accessories.
32- two of my prom dresses cost over a hundred bucks each. the other two cost around $40 altogether. evens out, i guess.
33- i rock the pixie 'do and the long hair look, but anywhere in between is just... no.
34- brianne ashley catron was my first best friend.
35- there was a period in my life where i kept catching 11:11 allll the time. it was getting to the point where it was creeping me out, but hey, a lot of wishes for me!
36- you know, now that i think about it, i must have wished for really superficial things, because i can't remember if a single one of them came true
37- drew barrymore is my favorite actress.
38- once when we were little girls, lizzie came over and we played a barbie fairy-tale game on computer. whenever barbie would start talking, i'd interpret for lizzie. and barbie talked a lot. later, i told her that i made the whole thing up.
39- i liked to make up a lot of stories when i was younger. sometimes i'd make my friends watch me explain a movie i'd seen in incredible detail that'd take three days worth of recess and lunch time. i usually exaggerated everything too.
40- everett has humongous earlobes because of me. literally.
41- i am a doodler.
42- i try not to wear heavy earrings too often because i am afraid of getting those old-woman-earring-lines.
43- my first heartbreak saved me from my next one.
44- i've never done a keg stand, but i have beer bonged over twenty-six cups.
45- my dad is married to the woman who made me cry on my sixteenth birthday.
46- i played in the snow for the first time last winter at gallaudet. i also made snow angels in my bra and underwear.
47- when i was in middle school, i made a promise to myself that if i couldn't act like a total idiot and say completely stupid, wtfable things that i do in front of my closest friends, then i would definitely not marry him!
48- i went to cancun twice. the first time was with reb and we didn't touch a drop of alcohol. the second was with her and a bunch of our freshmen, and i think my liver's still recovering from all the alcohol i drank. i can't decide which week was more fun.
49- in middle school, i had a depressed friend who was also my roommate for three years. we were very close. i always knew she wouldn't have killed herself.
50- shit i'm only halfway done?! i'm taking a break to eat dinner and to watch the second season of the office.
51- ok, i'm back, full and happy. jim's so hot.
52- i went tan-bedding once and it was the worst six minutes of my life.
53- i miss cheerleading but i'll never go back.
54- i've watched sixteen movies since school ended. best one so far was probably "numb".
55- i have exactly 364 songs on my iTunes, but if i never deleted songs, i'd probably have over a thousand by now. i can't stand excessive skipping while on shuffle.
56- i generally try to stay friends with exes... but sometimes that's a bad idea.
57- i desperately want a new screen name.
58- i own more skirts than shorts.
59- i cut out the collar to shirts that i feel "suffocate" me.
60- from middle school to mid-high school, i'd drink pepsi alllll the time. one can everyday or more. then i made a resolution not to drink soda for a week, and ever since then i've only been able to drink diet. lizzie just told me about how diet sodas are bad for your health, so i don't know what i'm going to do now.
61- i haven't gone two days without nail polish on my fingernails this year.
62- i do not shop at abercrombie & fitch, but damn i really love the smell of the store.
63- my dad works way too hard and i'm worried about him.
64- i used to get really horrible cramps the day before my period. every month, without fail, i'd miss half a day of school to lie down in the infirmary. one summer, i got the mother of all cramps that lasted for two days. it was so painful i couldn't even walk, but after that, i never once got cramps again.
65- the fact that i have the most fucked up stomach makes up for the no-cramps thing. i must've said "my tummy hurts." about three million times the first semester alone.
66- i'm a lousy speller.
67- it's weird how parallel mom and my life was the first year apart. we both met a lot of new people this year. we had several weeeknds where we did almost the exact same things. we dated a guy with the same name and they had the same personality. we even ended things the same way.
68- zane and i almost got kicked out of nelson's class once because we couldn't stop giggling for no reason.
69- i've just started on two books. they both suck. i hate not finishing books. i don't know what to do.
70- i had the best secret admirer, zigzag.
71- the top one on my 25 most played songs on iTunes is Apologize by Timbaland. me leaving it on repeat and falling asleep one night might have something to do with it though.
72- i don't know if there is a god. i don't think so, but who am i to criticize the millions of people who do?
73- my classmates (at csd) and i always bonded with our english teachers. we even got together for pizza with our freshman english teacher by our junior year.
74- i cannot resist a good cookie.
75- i watched my first horror movie when i was five. my all time favorite one is house on haunted hill.
76- i wanted to be an actress when i was little.

78- getting through some nights at gallaudet would've been incredibly hard if it wasn't for violet.
79- i learned a lot of phrases, sayings, idioms, etc from archie comics.
80- my first encounter with cops was with clara. we were four years old and bored at church, so we snuck into the priest's office and i decided to call the police. i shrieked in the phone that monsters were chasing us and then i made clara yell. moments later, clara's dad found us hiding under a desk and asked which one of us called the cops. we immediately pointed to each other. thirteen years later, we had another confrontation with cops, but this story isn't as cute so let's move on.
81- i'm a good secret keeper.
82- fifteen years at CSD, and my first suspension was on the last week of my senior year.
83- when i was a kid, i pushed a guy because he made fun of me and my friends signing. he hit a pole.
84- i like doing things that scare me. sometimes in the dark, i'll convince myself that if i stick a foot under my bed, something's gonna bite it. and i'll do it. if there's a rapist behind the shower curtain, i'll stay in the bathroom even longer. i'll even watch scary movies alone with the windows open.
85- i can't wait for the day i get my own dog for the first time.
86- i definitely wanna live alone for at least a year.
87- i don't like putting clothes on right after showering. i'll walk around in my towel for an hour before getting dressed.
88- i had my first (and only) fight with reb ever this year. it was very funny.
89- i love going to airports alone.
90- i used to find words like "elf." and "oic." hilarious. mallory and i once laughed the entire night (i went to the bathroom many times) just because of "yes." i miss finding little things like that funny.

92- i got hit by a flying orange cone this year. my head still has a tiny bump.
93- i am afraid of losing what hearing i have left to the point where i can't hear music anymore.
94- i make bets all the time, which is why i've swam in the blue water outside of the gallaudet cafeteria.
95- i made so many mistakes this year.
96- i've been to greece, thailand, cambodia, and vietnam (germany doesn't count). the first day in cambodia broke my heart.
