Hi! My Name Is [What?]...My Name Is [Who?]

My name is...not Slim Shady. I thought I'd take a brief moment to introduce myself to any readers (all two of you).

I was born in New York City. It was cold there.

I moved to Southern California when I was four. As a result of having a Mexican babysitter when I was young, in addition to speaking English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, I also speak fairly good conversational Spanish. Growing up, I was really really nerdy good at school, won piano competitions, and did a bunch of extracurricular activities. With the exception of not being outstanding at either math or science, I was pretty much a living, breathing Asian-American stereotype.

I did all my higher education on the East Coast. I went to college in Cambridge, MA. Then I ventured to Washington, DC and earned a law degree. I have since returned to California.

Having been denied television during my childhood, I have more than made up for that deprivation in my adulthood. Some call me The Walking TV Guide. My favorite band is Weezer. I have an abnormally obsessive penchant for Paul Frank paraphernalia. I like singing and dancing, despite the fact that I am not particularly good at either. I really like food. I think exercising is the devil. I sweat easily. Correlation between those last two points? Perhaps.

I am not completely enthralled with the practice of law, but I am good at what I do and thankful for my job. I like the place where and the people with whom I work. I like the color orange. I don't cook. I'm allergic to chocolate, but I still eat it sometimes. I hate cats. I love to travel. I have a weird sense of humor. Tact is not my forte. Oftentimes, I am honest to a fault.

And that's me in a nutshell.

  5. Maybe you should focus more on keeping food OUT of your mouth rather than putting it IN...ya know, write an uninteresting blog about that!! Just a thought....
