Alright you FB fanatics...don't act like I'm the only one who got sucked into this. Here goes:

25 Random Things About Me

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people 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.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

1. When I was a little kid in the waiting room at the doctor's office, unlike many of the "normal" kids who were drawing pretty pictures whenever there was a chalkboard around, I chose to do long division instead.
2. I am the youngest and only girl in my immediate family.
3. Last Friday, I was in NYC at a party in Manhattan and Pdiddy, JayZ, Qtip, Raekwon the Chef, Busta Rhymes, Grand Puba, and Dawn from Danity Kane all came to party with us. It was not a planned event, or a fancy venue. They just came to kick it. We had a good time.
4. I attended Journalism Camp when I was a sophomore in HS, and placed first for feature writing.
5. I am super emotional, and even when I act like things don't bother me, they really do.
6. I know everyone's secrets, because everyone feels the need to tell me their secrets. I probably know enough secrets to get someone killed, divorced, fired from their job, and separated from their loved ones. It's crazy. That's why I'll never tell.
7. I played the violin for 2 years, the flute for 4 years, and soccer for 7 years.
8. When I was 9, I really thought I was going to meet Jordan Knight from NKOTB and that he was going to ask me to be his gf. I created the fantasy and reran it over and over again in my head until I realized it was all a dream.
9. I am really addicted to texting and checking the internet on my phone. Thank God my bf trusts me, and never asks why I'm on it so much.
10. I probably talk on the phone more than anyone you'll ever meet (maybe?).
11. Sometimes when I am alone, I can literally sit there, doing absolutely nothing, and stare off into space for an hour or more just thinking of all kinds of different things. This is a lot of the reason I'm late all the time.
12. I'm always running late.
13. I'm originally from Stockton, CA and once despised living there. Looking back, I'm thankful for growing up in a place that was often close-minded, ghetto, and humble. It taught me street smarts and how to appreciate the simple things in life.
14. We used to hang out on a levy back in high school near the marina in Stockton because that's the only place we could drink, smoke, kick it with our homies, and do numerous other things at the tender age of 13, 14, 15...and so forth.
15. I went to my first rave when I was 14 years old, and to this day have never experienced anything like the rave scene in the mid 90s.
16. I'm 5'0, and I can eat as much or more than a 6'5", 200+ lb basketball or football player. Don't get it twisted.
17. I've lived in San Francisco/Daly City for 10 years and only lived in one house the entire time. This year will only be my 2nd time moving in my entire life since I moved out of my parents house when I was 17 yrs old.
18. I am very close to my family and have a tight knit group of friends who I have been eternally blessed with. Everyday, I thank God for having them all in my life. No joke.
19. I can type really fast, 100WPM+
20. I used to care about the "scene" and all the people I knew/know, and these days I really care less. Those who are true have stepped forward, and those who aren't have stepped back. Scenesters really bother me these days, but I think I may have been one in a past life.
21. I'm a scorpio, a very deep thinker, got straight A's my entire educational career, but have a really hard time figuring out how to open things, or put things back together.
22. I want to have a kid in the next few years.
23. My ultimate dream is to travel the world. I'm halfway there.
24. When I was in 7th grade, I typed all the lyrics to Del's "Catch a Bad One" on my typewriter so I can memorize the entire song. I still memorize the entire song.
25. I am a diehard old skool hiphop fan, and a music fanatic. And I don't feel the need to dress, act, or recite lyrics to prove it. It just lives in my heart.
