16 Weird and Random Things about me

I spied this going around on Facebook, and though I wasn't explicitly tagged, I thought it might be fun to do, anyway. I've done something similar in the past, and had a hard time coming up with 10 random facts (let alone 16!) but surprisingly, this wasn't too hard.

Here's the Facebook blurb: Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 others to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

(ever the rule breaker, I doubt I'll come up with 16 people to tag... we'll see when this posts on Facebook, though)

And of course, if you're reading this outside of Facebook, feel free to tag yourself and blog it on your own blog, or in the comments section here.

1. I have no middle name.

2. Unlike most other Chinese names, mine does not actually have a meaning attached to it.

3. I can't stand coconut, ginger or carbonated beverages (which is why I don't generally drink soda or beer)

4. I have an unhealthy and obsessive love affair with spreadsheets.

5. I've only ever had 2 stuffed alligators as a child. Their names were Allen and Harvey. My husband's name? Allan Harvey.

6. When I wear velour clothes, I can't stop rubbing the velvety softness between my fingers.

7. I have been known to eat plain sugar as a snack (I used to munch on sugar cubes at Amgen)

8. I am less Asian than my Caucasian husband.

9. I sleep with stuffed animals and still believe they come to life when I'm not around.

10. I'm mildly OCD about washing my hands and sanitizing surfaces.

11. I sing tenor.

12. My favorite animals include frogs, Rottweilers, killer whales, stingrays and sea turtles.

13. When I was in the military, I drove my Humvee around the woods of Germany before I got my license.

14. I attended the same high school and university as my grandmother-in-law.

15. I don't mind ruined endings, and get pissed off at people who deliberately withhold an ending even if I explicitly ask for it to be ruined.

16. Sometimes I think I love and care about animals more than I do people. People can be so cruel and inhumane :-(
