Directions: Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
1-I lost my first tooth sitting in Troy Aiken's cubby in the locker room of the Dallas Cowboys.
2-In kindergarten, I wanted to be a paleontologist because I was obsessed with dinosaurs. In first grade, my life calling changed to baker. For a long while after, I entertained the thought of art school, then briefly (very, very briefly) considered majoring in biology and pursuing medicine, y ahora...quien sabe but that I don't want to live comfortably. Hopefully Latin America, street children, and grassroots will also be somewhere in the mix.
3-I am sure that someday I WILL visit every country in Latin America though, especially/including Cuba.

4-My top five favorite movies (I believe these say a lot about me): 1) Motorcycle Diaries. 2) Solo Dios Sabe. 3) City of God. 4) The Science of Sleep. 5) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
5-Thanks to Spain, I now get headaches when I don't drink coffee. C'est terrible.
6-On that note, the perfect afternoon: cafe con leche, a plush sofa, and some Hemingway or Fitzgerald.
7-Hammock lounging in summertime sunshine is a close second.
8-I strongly dislike drying dishes, can't stand bad table etiquette, and hate when people boss me around the kitchen while I'm cooking.
9-Sophomore year of high school, I made it my new life mission to learn how to play drums. Then drums became cool and trendy and everyone else at church jumped on the bandwagon shortly thereafter. That was the end of that goal and so began the epoch of the acoustic guitar.
10-I suck at talking. I cannot for the life of me figure it out, but verbal articulation evades me to the most frustrating degree. But writing...let's just say, I've amassed 13 journals in my lifetime and am currently working on my fourteenth. It's a little embarrassing...
11-I got my ears pierced when I was about five months old. If you look closely, you'll see the holes are uneven because I, being the feisty soul that I have always been, did an antsy jig or something and moved at the last minute.

12-Obsessive teeth brushing is a compulsive [dis]order of mine. And Burt's Bees chapsticking.
13-I'm even more competitive than B. I am entirely not above leaping over kitchen countertops and things of other such ruthless nature for the sake of victory. After all, what matters in the end is winning...right?
14-My favorite character in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights is actually not Javi (Diego Luna), but the Cuban singer in La Rosa Negra. With her dark buttermilk skin, the headband that perfectly holds back her hair (I wish I could work headbands like that), sweet dance moves, and job singing in a freaking Cuban club is who I'd not-so-secretly like to be in another life. Dang being Asian.
15-One summer, I memorized the entire book of James for 50 bucks to go towards a Mexico missions trip. Sadly, I can only parrot out a few verses here and there now...
16-Ever since I got all four wisdom teeth pulled one horrible March and was bedridden, wavering in and out of consciousness from searing pain, and vomiting blood for the entirety of the week, I have come to take spring breaks very seriously. Let us play!
...I also consider "playing" to be something that is, really, irrespective of vacations, holidays, and freetime, so hang out any time, all the time we shall. :) Yarrr. Llamame.
