Randomness about me: August

1. I hate writing with pencil. The only time I write with pencil is if I'm writing in my music or if I'm taking a Scantron test. Since I'm finished with school, I don't have to worry about Scantron tests anymore, so I only use pencil when I'm writing in my music.
   
2. I cannot scream. Well, I guess I can, but I hardly ever do.
   
3. I think I'm becoming lactose intolerant. I've heard that 90% of Asians become lactose intolerant before age 30.
   
4. It drives me crazy when people leave their turn signals on forever. And ever. And ever. I only turn my signal on for about .125 seconds before I turn or change lanes.
   
5. My best friend and I have been friends our entire life. Literally. I love you, Paulina!
6. I have really random music tastes. Sometimes I enjoy listening to Katy Perry, when other days I enjoy Casting Crowns. Let's just say my Pandora station is really whack.
7. Although I eat meat, I don't love it. I could probably be a vegetarian if I wanted to.
   
8. I took two years of Chinese in college, but I hardly remember any of it. It's pretty sad when I think about how much grief that class put me through. Sigh.
   
9. Back to meat again; I hate the smell of cooking meat. The worst of them all is ground beef. Chicken is a close second.
   
10. I only like scrambled eggs if they are mixed really well before they're cooked. I know it's the same egg, but if it's partially white and partially yellow, I have a hard time eating it. Weird, I know.
    
11. When I type, I make weird facial expressions. If I'm typing something funny, I smile or laugh. If I'm asking a question, I make an odd smirk. I obviously haven't seen myself do this, but people who see me type always tell me that I do this.
    
12. I only like citrus if it's fresh. I love all sorts of citrus: lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, etc. But if it is candy, I do not like it. In fact, if I have a bag of Skittles or roll of Starbursts, I will pick around the yellow, orange and green flavors.

So, Asians are good at math, right?

Lies! Blatant lies, I tell you! OK, well maybe some (lucky) Asians are good at math, but I will be the first person to tell you that I am not good at math. The subject has never been a favorite of mine, but I've managed to make it through life with less-than-favorable math skills. (Don't worry, I passed all my math classes throughout school years.)

How did Asians get stuck with the high honor of being stereotyped as good mathematicians? Or good musicians at that (although I am a musician, so I won't post about that)?

I said all of that to say this: I was not cut out to be an accountant.

I'm currently working for my best friend's company doing whatever they need help with. Well, blessings on my head, they currently need help with bookkeeping. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, I am thankful for the work, money and time spent with my friend; I just know that if I could choose my profession (which, by the way, isn't going too well at this point), I would never choose to do anything with numbers, math, bank statements, etc.

I think I've found my newest answer to the common interview question: "What is your greatest weakness?"
