excuse me peeps ...i'm the shit...you should come...hang with me...basically... i graduated with a B.A. in psychology an M.A.T. in early childhood education. i moved to charlotte in the beginning of august '06 and so far, i LOVE IT! my job brought me down south and the whole experience of moving to a new city, starting my career, exploring the city, and meeting new people has probably been the highlight of my life. you can frequently find me around uptown at my fave bars (cans, dixie's, phil's, buckheads, rira, the attic). i was a second grade teacher, but have since explored other venues. i was a neologist (award-winning brand name developer) but now i work as project manager for a marketing company whose specialty is in-store promotions. (i also do a few promotions on the side so if you see me out with a branded tee, come say hi and grab some free samples or whatever i'm handing out that day). i would love to open up a bar and name it JB's! i am an extremely laid-back person. there have been a few rough patches in the road of life but the good definitely outweighs the bad. i have played the piano since i was 5 yrs old and the violin since i was 9 yrs old (chop-in is my favorite...my h.s. senior piece was the "because" opus 57 and i'm pretty sure if you've heard it, you'd be impressed). i'm chaiwanese...a mixture of chinese and taiwanese. i'm really tall for an asian girl. i wish i could speak more cantonese and mandarin. i am proud of the family i come from. i have been to taiwan, hong kong, italy, france, germany, england, mexico, and canada. when i was little, en route from taiwan to hawaii, i got my finger caught in the bottom of an escalator because i was pretending to spin the big wheel on the price is right (i still have a scar from that). i also had chicken pox. the flight attendants gave us free decks of cards, they must have felt bad for us. i am the baby in my family. i have an older sister (je-je) and an older brother (gu-gu). i was an accident baby, conceived in.... CALIFORNIA. i have a strong interest in health and nutrition. i love going to the gym and working out... and i love eating too. i love tofu and chicken. i LOVE sushi! i adore almonds. apples and peanut butter are my new obsession. i love the smell of jasmine rice cooking. i love riding in convertibles with the top down and looking up into the sky (ET and RP...help me with this one!). i enjoy getting hit on by randoms from the gym. i'm down with the hopeless romantics. i am a runner ... i tend to be more book smart than commonsensically savvy. i was voted "most quiet" in my h.s. senior class<-how embarassing. i was a complete dorkus in h.s. and never went to prom. i'm working on being more outgoing and confident of myself and i definitely think that being a teacher is helping me with that. the people i surround myself with have also played a huge part in me growing into my own skin. i tend to withdraw when i'm thrown into situations where i'm uncomfortable. i'm a strong believer in that everything happens for a reason. i have a crazy memory like WHOA...on sunday mornings you can find me at church (i recently found a great place of worship that's helping me strengthen my relationship with the Lord). i love having fun and i love to laugh...but who doesn't?? when i laugh it usually ends up being really loud and i just can't help it. i like who i am. i enjoy waitressing at my parents restaurant because our customers are like an extended family to me. on monday nights you can find me on the soccer field (one man down) and wednesday nights on the softball field (apartment homes tlc). i like to be goofy and nerdy and loud around people i know, a self-proclaimed dork. i talk to myself a lot, especially when i'm by myself. i try to make the *best* out of every situation. i don't like it when people are rude to me. i often misread things. i am not a materialistic person. driving in inclement weather scares me. i have freakishly long fingers...yet elegant at the same time. i absolutely ♥ bonfires! i like being outside. i enjoy sunny days with blue skies. i could easily lay on a blanket and stare at the sky all day. i like sitting outside with a friend and people watching. i ♥ dancing! i'm extremely gullible! i ♥ my free ipod :) i LOVE taking pictures! i like to write...it helps me understand myself better...but i'll never show you. i've been a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. i've come to realize that my intuition is pretty much dead on most of the time. i've never been stung by a bee or broken a bone! i love going out with friends. i occassionally enjoy simmering in the hot tub. i'm awful with directions. i love love love listening to music (so if you enjoy making mix cd's of songs i've NEVER heard...send one over my way). i like the smell of suntan lotion. i am really good at spending my time doing nothing at all. time you enjoy wasting wasn't time wasted at all. when i was little, i won a sega from a cereal box and my mom wouldn't let me keep it because she was against video game systems. i adore white boys that can dance . sometimes i like to stay in and laugh really hard with friends. but other times, thanks to a certain somebody...i now enjoy goin out to the bars (hop hop hop )! i turn into a lil red tomato when i drink alcohol. corona with lime is my drink of choice. i like shakin it with kellie doing the "chopping vegetables", even though i can't dance. hmmmm i tend to call out verses in songs way too early and kellie always calls me out on it:( twink and i host our own rap parties in my room with my awesome sub. sometimes i just can't help it...i hear a song and i start to bounce bounce bounce. twink and i seem to dance around so much in the car that we get more exercise driving than walking (and wonderfully strange looks from other cars). IT IS WHAT IT IS...if you don't like it then just laugh at us!! i know to live you must give your life away. i never get nervous for first dates. i tend to be cursed if you meet me in the months of august, september, or october. i want to learn how to whistle soooooo bad so i can catcall at random cute boys :) i don't know what love feels like but i think it'd feel wonderful to feel a part of something bigger than myself. i am a frequent victim of the "two-week rule" and i'm beginning to feel a little too burned by it all. i have been chronically single all my life and i believe it is because of the simple fact that i'm not willing to settle... and even then, i'm always the one to get my heart broken . i wish i could find a guy that appreciates me for who i am. i've learned that it's a waste of time to get your hopes up because the only person you can depend on is yourself . i think i may need to start hanging out at the local teeter in the frozen food aisle and wait for a nice guy to buy me a grocery store rose and sweep me off my feet♥. i enjoy my small group of friends. i ♥ my lovely girlie pearlies. i absolutely adore my belly and enjoy showing off my immense collection of belly rings. i can always enjoy looking at nice calves and skinny ankles. i love bikinis, especially if they are made by roxy. i love italian food (and italian boys ♥). i also love tarjay (target). i also love ice cream (and peanut butter...and reese's cups)! i've gained a slight appreciation for vino (pinot grigio being my fave) i love jibber-jabbering on the phone (and random phone calls). i like to play SNOOD when i'm on the phone, it relaxes me. and if you try to beat me in snood i bet you a reese cup you'll lose. i am extremely picky when it comes to guys... quality over quantity! i tend to be underappreciated in life. i love long eyelashes on guys. hugs from behind are like heaven to me. consider yourself lucky if you've ever seen me wear my glasses. graduate school has turned me into such a pottymouth. i love eating chips and salsa. i hate wearing socks and shoes - i'm a sandals kinda girl all the way! i don't want to grow up - i wish i could be young forever. the more guys i meet, the more they seem to disappoint me. i love shopping but it takes me forever and a day to decide if i want to buy something...and half the time i end up returning it because i change my mind. i tend to be very frugal. call me a cheapie if you want but i know how to save my money! i love buying jeans. i buy my tshirts at goodwill. i ♥ mopheads :) (tyson ritter) i'm goofy looking in person. i gots big toofers (you'll see)! i absolutely LOVE the beach and the whole beach lifestyle. 100% sunshine - sunshine makes me happy. i love the fact that i only live 4 hours from the beach instead of 12! i have this weird attraction to tall guys and i prefer cute over mind-numbingly hawt. i like the smell of guys cologne - YUMMY! i get scared easily. i'm not sure if i believe in the supernatural but i really would rather not want to know if ghosts exist. i hate blood. i cannot stand watching gory movies. i LOVE sunglasses and watches. i cannot WAIT to learn to snowboard this winter! (mayas well take advantage of the weather) <---NOT ANYMORE...we're not in OHIO anymore! i would love to learn how to bartend! i HATE spiders . they make my skin crawl. YUCK . i once took the vacuum cleaner out to suck up a spider in our apartment because kellie and i are both terrified of spiders. but then there was that one time i tried to vacuum clean a spider and thought i had him but then he fell outta the tube and i let it be but then the lil bugger got up and crawled out of sight! NAST!!! i'm starting to get into football just a tad because everyone in charlotte seems to be watching football on sundays... i mess up a lot of things in my life but without experience there would be no life lessons . the end. oh yeah...I LOVE SCRABBLE! i can do a really good shim voice...it also serves as my backup to scare away randoms at the bars. (and i have an unhealthy obsession with myspace). and you better learn a new word if you're going to hang with me... h'okay = combination of haha & okay in ONE WORD! if you've gotten this far, you should feel obligated to shoot me a message, it will be well worth your while. i constantly add onto my profile so i bid you good luck on finding the new parts. MOVING ON!!! and always remember..don't cry because it's over, but smile because it happened.
