me. - 10/31/2006

Some facts (outdated stuff fixed now):

• Amy goes went to Washington University.
• She studies studied Computer Engineering.
• She (still) doesn't like the way people look at her when she tells them that.
• Her favorite piece to play on the piano is Intermezzo Op. 118 - N.2, by Johannes Brahms.
• Amy has green eyes.
• All too often, Amy misspells her name "Amu".
• For this reason, Amy is beginning to despise writing in the third person.
  
  
• I am not at all outgoing.
• I adore thunderstorms.
• Sometimes, I like to wear a lot of black.
• Sometimes, I like to wear pastel colors.
• If I could go out dancing every night of the week, I would. Clearly, I wrote this during the heyday of my swing-dancing obsession. These days I'm picky about who I like to dance with.
• I like to look at the stars.
• I used to be a mad scientist.
• I really really want to get a cat.
• Ana is the most adorable kitten ever! Scratch that, my cat is CRAZY.
• I enjoy swing dancing to hip hop music.
• I am quiet unless I know someone well. Sometimes even then.
• All of my best skirts come from thrift stores.
• For the most part, I am happy with myself. It pains me to strike this one, but it seems less true the more time goes on.
• I obsess over flaws of character much more than flaws of appearance.
• During my senior year of high school, I participated in 10 distinct music groups.
• I have many hangnails.
• I don't like making small talk with strangers. I am no good at it.
• In terms of heritage, I identify most with being Irish (green eyes, fair skin, ever-so-slightly auburn hair).
• Technically, I am as much Cherokee Indian as I am Irish.
• I could even participate in a Cherokee powwow if I wanted to. Technically.
• But I don't feel Indian at all.
• I am often indecisive.
• My skin does not tan. Ever.
• As such, I generally avoid the sun so I won't die of skin cancer.
• You may laugh now, but in 40 years I will have fewer wrinkles than you.
• I like to jump in puddles.
• I am an incurable night owl and sometime insomniac.
• I drink my coffee black, thank you. And very strong.
• I can always see both sides of an issue. Often, I even agree with both sides (at least in part).
• This probably makes me seem to lack any opinion at all. I like to say that I am open-minded.
• I can't even remember the last time I watched TV.
• I love a good battle of wits, or insult war.
• I could never, ever smoke.
• Sometimes I wish I were more of a minimalist.
  
  
• Amy has decided to resume speaking in third person for the antepenultimate, penultimate, and final bullet points.
• The sole reason this bullet point exists is so that Amy could use the word "antepenultimate".
• Like the shark, Amy has millions of teeth, which she uses like a hacksaw to cut through bone, candy, and fences.

The End.
