1. I'm completely ok with listening to three songs at one time. Or less. The song Movie Star by Rascalz has been dominating the Rob charts for the past year and a half.
2. I've been living in Buenos Aires for the past 2 years. However, if I had unlimited cash and could pack up and go anywhere, I'd move to Sao Paulo or Melbourne, Australia.
3. I have an unhealthy obsession with foreign languages. I have formally studied: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Farsi, and Catalan. When I was a child, and I used to read the bible and hear about people speaking in tongues, I used to pray to god to give me the gift of fluent Italian.
4. I could probably count on my hand the number of times that I have actually folded up my clothes and put them away after I've done lanundry.
5. I sometimes love things that I have never experienced, been to or tried. I can say without hesitation that I love Ethiopian food, Tel Aviv, and Cedar Poitn Amusment Park in Sandusky, Ohio. I have never eaten Ethiopian food nor do I have any idea of what it consists of.
6. I once did an interview for an article in Playboy Magazine but begged the journalist not to publish my interview because he gave me awfully raunchy questions that I didn't feel comfortable answering.
7. I once dyed my hair blonde when I was 14 and worked at Tom Thumb. Complete fail.
8. If I could go back and meet anyone in time, it would mostly likely be Vlad the Impaler, Caligula, or Stalin. Weird. Also, I would like to experience life in the Byzantine Empire.
9. I have a weird love/ hate relationship with the assistant of Geena Davis' husband, Dr. Reza Jarrahy. I speak to her daily on the phone.
10. I am surprisingly simple when it comes to food. The percentage of my lunches that have consisted of baked chicken and rice over the past 365 days is probably around 70%.
11. My preferred way to speak about travel is in airport codes. If you can follow this next paragraph, we should probably get married.
Dude, after 29 hours i finally landed at EZE.
What happened?
Well, at SFO i had to go through hella security checks.. Shortly after takeoff, we made an emergency landing in LAS. I ended up getting on another flight that went through IAD, but of course I had to go to ORD first, because well, its United. After a brief layover in PTY (a United flight would never do this, sounds like COPA but whatever), I finally made it to EZE. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time from EZE-GIG.
12. One time I left bananas for so long on the kitchen counter that they turned black and blended into the kitchen counter. I accused my roommate of eating my bananas and we found out that they were actually on the counter, we just couldn't see them.
13. I once worked as a beggar on a street corner in Stockholm, Sweden. I made enough money that day to go out that night and get drunk. I think this is what beggars do.
14. My knowledge of current and classic movies/music is awful. I can only name one Rolling Stones song, I've never heard anything from U2, and I honestly couldn't pick Bruce Springsteen out of a lineup. I've never seen Godfather, Gone with the Wind, and my only attempt at Pulp Fiction ended in an accidental nap. However, if you ask me to name any R&B song between 1990-2000 or any country hit from 1995-2005, you'll be amazed at my knowledge.
15. The top 10 places, in order, where I have spent the most time in life are the following:
1. Chicago, Illinois 2.Dallas, Texas 3. College Station, Texas 4. Buenos Aires, Argentina 5. Madrid, Spain 6. Barcelona, Spain 7. Lynchburg, Virginia 8. Houston, Texas 9. Sioux Falls, South Dakota 10. London, England
16. I used to make this disgusting sandwich as a child called TBJ. Toast, bologna and jelly (grape). It was a real winner but quite disgusting now that I think about it.
17. The quickest way to my heart is to learn Italian. Non-native speakers who have learned Italian pretty much have complete control over me.
18. I have a large birthmark on the side of my head that you can only see when I shave my head. People say that your birthmark is a symbol of how you died in your past life. I think someone shot me at point blank range in the skull shortly after gunpowder was invented in ancient China.
19. I was VERY close to living in Hong Kong. Papers finalized, school accpetance, everything. One day, i watched a weird Discovery Channel special about the dangers of bird flu. The special freaked me out because it was set in Hong Kong. I foolishly canceled my Hong Kong plans and moved to Barcelona.
20. I love Lebanese people and I automatically hold them to a higher standard, more so than any nationality on earth.
21. I have diagnosed myself with a new mental illness called Location Obsession Disorder. I have to know where I am, at all hours of the day.This is why it makes it extremely difficult to fall asleep on the city bus because I have to know which streets I am crossing. Because of this, I have memorized every street in order in Buenos Aires from Leandro Alem to Dorrego, and I'm currently working on expanding my knowledge to Cabildo.
22. IF you were to find me carrying ten library books, they would most likely be the following:
A Lonely Planet guide to some random place I've never been, Forensic Science (particularly blood spatter ala Dexter), Everything you want to know about Monopoly, 501 Russian Verbs, 501 Italian Verbs, 501 French Verbs, Tennis strokes, Ancient World Civilizations, and Currencies of the World
