Well, first things first. I have no more standardized tests, w00t! I took my last two today (for biology and physics), and my brain is half dead right now, but it's ok. Just, if anything sounds weird, it's because my brain cells have taken a beating today.
Alright, onto business! I've been tagged by .

Ok, 8 things about me:

1) I love ketchup. I'll eat practically anything with ketchup, from bread to noodles, pies, etc, but I'm not as eccentric as my friend, who eats chocolate with ketchup. I used to tease her so much about it back in junior high, lol. Hmm, maybe I should try. Please excuse me as I go and scavenge my house for a bottle of ketchup and a bar of chocolate.

2) My life is so low-tech, I'm behind everyone I know by five years regarding technology. I got this computer I'm using now back in 2003, and had the internet installed in my house for the first time in my life in 2004, when I was 14. I wanted a CD player when it first came out in 1999, and finally got one for my birthday when I was 15, and then people showed up in school with iPods a week after (and no, I don't have an iPod). Oh, and GameCube is the only game console I own, which I got when I was 14 (and lost interest after two months of hardcore gaming). The irony is that I'm going to be studying engineering in college and I'm a total technology n00b, lol.

3) In my spare time after school, I sit in a circle with my guy friends and play card games (no money involved!). We mostly play Lucky Bastard, but we also play Thirteen, Mao, Egyptian Ratscrew, Fruits Basket, or Name Switch(same as Fruits Basket, but everyone switches names). It's quite hilarious whenever we play Fruits Basket, because everyone is screaming the name of a fruit at each other. It's even more hectic when we play Name Switch, because we're yelling each other's names at people who don't have the name. Very fun.

4) I've never been out of the country before, and have been out of state for a total of...10 days of my life. If I could go traveling, I'd want to go to Shanghai China (that's where my ancestors are from!), Egypt, and several European countries (I don't know which ones, they're all so pretty!)

5) I have a dog who goes berserk from excitement when my dad comes home from work. I feed her pieces of leftover plain chicken from the table, and I play in the backyard with her every weekend.

6) Green and grey are my favorite colors. About 3/4 of the clothes I own are either green or grey, and the rest are mostly black, white, and blue. Somehow though, the two dresses I own are not any of the above colors: one is coral pink, the other is ivory.

7) I can't go swimming, because I have contact lenses and I don't want the water to wash them out or seep into my goggles. I can't take out my lenses and swim, because I can barely see without contacts/glasses (how that happened, I don't know. I don't play computer or video games, don't read as much, and don't watch as much TV as other people).

8) I play the clarinet, which I absolutely love! I was sad when I quit after 9th grade, but I've picked it back up! I play some classical music, and then spend the rest of my time trying to figure out how to play popular rock songs.

Yep, those are eight things about me. I'm not tagging anyone, but if you want to write an entry on eight things about yourself, go ahead! It's quite fun!
