56. I love raw oysters but cannot eat the giant ones, they make me gag. I prefer my oysters with a little horseradish and cocktail sauce. I never liked oysters until my first trip to New Orleans. My friend Cristi’s husband, Deano, got me addicted to them.
57. I was so nervous meeting Olympic & World Figure Skaters while I worked Ice Wars, I thought I was going to vomit. I was more nervous meeting the skaters than I was Metallica, Motley Crue, or any other big name rock band.

I have loved Brian Boitano since 1988 when he won Gold.
58. I like doing things by myself. Vacations, dinners, movies, concerts, etc. If I had to wait for someone to go with, I’d never get anything done.

61. I have 9 eight tattoos. My 1st was a bear holding a flower on my right shoulder (he’s my traveling companion so I never travel alone), 2nd Woodstock from Peanuts on my heel, 3rd butterfly on my lower back, 4th symbol for rabbit in the Chinese zodiac on the back of my neck, 5th sunburst below the Chinese Zodiac, 6th an orchid for my mom & Air Force symbol for my dad with the letter “S” uniting them on my left shoulder, 7th a bass clef shaped into a heart with the hearts shaped into a 4 leaf clover on my left wrist, and my 8th tattoo actually now incorporates my 6th tattoo. It’s on my left shoulder/arm/back. It has the lyrics “I will never forget, I will never regret, I will live my life closer to the edge” from “Closer to the Edge” by 30 Seconds to Mars with flowers on my arm/shoulder/back. It is a tribute to my mom. My 9th tattoo is on my right shoulder and has the constellation for the Southern Cross with the words “The Time is Now” and “Dare to Be” in it.  My 8th & 9th pieces were done by Travis @ Fu’s Custom Tattoos. I have become a lifetime customer.
62. I use to have my navel pierced but removed it. I also don’t normally wear earrings. I have 3 in each ear and lost my nose ring in a drunk night. I will more than likely get my nose re-pierced again.
63. I have a weakness for guys with a gorgeous smile and eyes that have a sparkle in them.
64. I will always do a double take if a guy has baby blues and dark hair.
65. I am teaching myself how to speak Russian & German. I haven’t mastered either.
66. I turned 21 in Thailand and it was one of the best birthdays ever spent breaking the language barrier, drinking soda, and dancing with family and friends. We didn’t understand each other but for one night, we spoke the same language.
67. Kevin Fogarty is my personal ray of sunshine. I’m so honored he’s a friend and in my life. He never fails to brighten my day when I need it the most & he never knows I need it. I just randomly get a message or text but it’s like he knows.
68. I cuss. There are days that I probably could put harden criminals to shame. My favorite cuss word would be fuck. It’s a noun, verb, adverb, or whatever you need it to be. I rarely cuss in front of my dad or mom when she was alive.
69. I love my friends to pieces. I hold them close to my heart and I will never bullshit them. I will also, not put up with bullshit. Don’t ask my opinion if you’re not ready to hear the God’s honest truth. You don’t have to agree with it. You don’t even have to like it, but if you’re a friend and you asked, you’re going to get brutal honesty.
70. Though my family means the world to me, they are not necessarily my world. We go days and sometimes weeks without even talking. It doesn’t mean I love them any less or they love me any less. I’ve come to understand that you can have family ties but you cannot let your family tie you down from living your dreams. Luckily, my family encourages me to dream big.
71. I can spend hours reading every article on CNN.
72. My only opinion on politics is this: I’d like to have someone in office that won’t muck it up for future generations. I don’t care which party you belong to just don’t screw up anymore and be nice. Stop telling lies. I don’t trust you to begin with so just be honest.
73. My only opinion on religion is this: Believe in whatever helps you get through the day. If you want to pray to the dodo bird, so be it. If you want to pray to the heavens, so be it. Just don’t hurt anyone along the way.
74. I think if we all adhere to this John Sebastian quote, then we might be all right, “Just love everybody all around ya and clean up a little garbage on your way out and everything gonna be alright.”
75. One of my favorite photos is by Robert Doisneau titled Kiss by the Hotel de Ville
76. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a bit naive when it comes to things, but don’t mistake that as stupid because I’ll school myself in a subject and master it.
77. Graduated in the Top 10 of my high school class but never went to college.
78. I tried to learn guitar but 2 things stopped me: an ex-boyfriend told me I was tone deaf and I couldn’t find a guitar with a neck board that I could wrap my hand around. I should have never listed to the ex and I shouldn’t have stopped looking for a guitar I could hold.
79. I have learned after all these years I have lived to admit when I am wrong.
80. I have also learned after all these years to say thank you when complimented though it’s hard for some retarded reason not to insert some sarcastic joke.
81. I contemplated suicide once. I decided against it of course. I didn’t think anyone would care if I was gone.
82. Having said above, I gave myself the arm chair diagnosis of depression. I don’t know how I came out through the dark alone and without drugs, but somehow, I did.
83. I believe I have met my guardian angel. His name is Eddie and he has a dog named, Vance. The night before I met him, I had a dream with him in it. He looked like Hugh Grant in my dream but in person he was wearing everything and doing everything Hugh Grant was doing in my dream. We sat on the beach and talked for hours. I never saw him again after that. I believe he was sent into my life to save me from the dark.
84. I know my defense mechanisms for keeping people out of my life and they are distancing myself, turning myself away from someone, jealousy, ignoring someone, and sometimes just being a down right bitch to someone. I feel that if I push them away, I can’t get hurt. Which never works and I know that now.
85. No one knows the real me. Not even my closest and dearest friends.
86. My ovaries don’t ache for children. If I met the right man and he wanted children, I would have them but my biological clock isn’t screaming at me. If the right man came along, and he didn’t want children, I’d be okay with that too or even adopting.
87. I have had visions of my children. A little boy and a little girl. I have the boy first, then the girl. This vision came to me a month prior to #88.
88. I do not have my left ovary. It was removed in 2002 when I had 25cm cyst removed. The cyst was the size of basketball.
89. For almost 5 painful months, I couldn’t move anything on the left side of my body. I had a bulging disc pressing against my spinal chord which paralyzed/numbed everything on my left side. Since my surgery, my left hand and shoulder start to tingle, letting me know I’m stressed out.
90. Away from my job, I am an introvert. At my job, I’m an extrovert, but it takes a while for me to warm up to that.
91. Purple and gray are my favorite colors.
92. I have watched all 9 seasons and 2 movies of The X-Files.
93. If there is a Mythbusters marathon on, I will watch it. I have seen every episode.
94. I miss my Mom saying “Goodnight baby” to me. She said it every night until the day she was taken to the hospital. I say it to the thin air around me or to my dog Nick (formerly her dog) now.
95. My mom, Lek, aka Crazy Little Thai Woman passed away Dec 17 2009. The day changed my life forever. Even though she’s gone, I became a better person and a stronger person through her death.
96. I have hated hospitals most of my life. I prefer to never go in them.
97. I love making jewelry. I totally zen out while creating it.
98. I have killed all the plants ever given to me except for 1 from my friends Amy & Joe. It somehow has miraculously survived living with me in my apartment since I moved in. I have nursed it back to health a dozen times.
99. I can quote most of Spaceballs and Goonies by heart.
100. I am a night owl. I hate mornings.

Coming up with 100 facts was down right hard, but there you have it. 100 facts you could care or care less about. It took me 10 months to write this. Damn, I’m glad I’m done.
