DAY 01 / Semi-Linky?

So.. I am so horrible about posting anything other than pictures. So here is my first attempt to divulge any information regarding something other than my day-to-day doings with a 30-day/week/year challenge (see Vron's blog for details). AND as a bonus, it's my first semi-link up. I really don't get the whole concept of links, nor do I know how to execute these things.. so this will have to do.

Day 01: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

It doesn't get any more recent then this. Taken today. =]

1. I'm a high self monitorer. Some people say that this means I am not true to myself, but if I can admit that I change my behavior according to the situation, doesn't that mean I'm just being me?

2. I love sleep. I need sleep. If I am sleeping do not wake me. You will regret it.

3. Carmex, Burts Bee's, and Vaseline are no match for my lips. I have the most consistently chapped lips in the history of lips.. and that my friend, is a very long time.

4. I am madly in love with big band music.

5. English was not my first language, although it is my primary language now.

6. There are a million things that went wrong with my wedding, and unlike many other women, I have not moved on. Till this day, I wish I could rewind time and fix the incompetence of my venue.

7.  I think I was born in the wrong era. I truly think I was meant to live in the 1950's in a single income, traditional, leave it to beaver style life.

8. Over my dead body will my future kids be video game addicts.

9.  I am an American. Not an Asian-American or Korean-American.

10. I really do think that I'm getting better at this blogging thing. =]

11. I have a had habit of spending money on event specific clothes. You know, clothes that you buy for one event and then never wear again.

12. I have a bad habit of spending money in general. Don't get me wrong, I am not in horrible debt or anything; I just have trouble saving extra money.

13. I love living in the city. While I can imagine spending certain seasons in the countryside, I can guarantee you that my primary residence will always be in or next to a big city.

14. Bread is my best friend. I <3 carbs.

15. I have a rather charmed life. Some say it's because I'm lucky, some say it's because my mom includes me in her prayers everyday. Whatever it is.. I am thankful.
