16.

This is being completely copied/pasted from my Facebook note, but I thought it'd be fun to post here.

The premise:
Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

---

1) I was born around 1030pm on Christmas Eve. The doctor told my mom if she waited 2 more hours she'd have me as a Christmas gift. Guess what my mom said to that.

2) I used to want to be a back-up singer. That way I'd fulfill my dream of singing as a career without the pressures that come along with fame. Actually, this is still sort of true about me.

3) I hated the drama of high school so much that I managed to get 92 hours of absences in one semester. I also got straight A's that semester.

4) I hate putting my hair up all the way. This is because I used to be in ballet, and at one of my performances my hair was slick back in a bun (duh) and my brother looked at my shadow and my shadow was seriously just my oval head and two huge ears sticking out. My brother then commenced calling me an alien, and kept asking my mom if I were an alien. Haha. Scarred me for life apparently.

5) My brother and sister used to tell me that my mom didn't want me and that I was a mistake. It's not entirely unwarranted, since my mom accidentally got pregnant with me because she was too lazy to get her tubes tied after my sister. Thus, I was born.

6) My sister and I used to jump out of our second story window for fun.

7) My brother used to give my mom such a hard time for having another daughter and not another son. So he tried to make me a boy, calling me Chris all the time (which wasn't unusual in the first place since my mom called me that), but also teaching me how to skateboard and play Magic the Gathering, among other things.

8) Final Fantasy RPGs are my guilty pleasure. I've beat 3 (6), 7, 8, and 9; started 10 but my brother erased my file, and then started it again but got too lazy to finish. I'm currently re-playing FF3/FF6. My favorite is FF8 because I am in love with Squall and secretly wish I were Rinoa.

9) I had my first kiss when I turned 16. Yup, about one hour after midnight on my 16th birthday. Actually, 16 was magical.

10) 2008 has been the best year of my life so far.

11) I've had surgery twice in my life -- one for a cyst underneath my left eye in 4th grade, and one for my wisdom teeth summer 2007.

12) I didn't apply to UCSD (even though I'm from SD) because at the time I was trying to get far, far away from my ex-boyfriend. He gave me shit for that when we got back together... HAHA. Oh well, I wouldn't have gone there anyway.

13) I'm addicted to fast food and soda. I should probably cut back if I want to live past 40.

14) When I was younger I was really, unhealthy-looking skinny. Every time I went to the doctor for a regular check-up, they would question my eating habits and ask if I were depressed or anything like that. I'd always tell them I eat a lot and that I'm just healthy.. But they'd draw my blood anyway to see if there was something physically wrong with me. There never was. And I hated the doctor for that! Oh, if they could see me now.

15) I'm 5'2" and I like my height. I actually hate wearing heels sometimes because I hate feeling tall.

16) Every time I pass a store window, I have the tendency to check myself out in it. Haha. I think every girl does this, and a lot of guys do, too. But it's just funny because I feel really self-centered whenever I do it, but when I'm satisfied with what I see then it's justified.
