(Stolen from my Facebook page...)
1. I broke my toe in high school because there was a garter snake in my parents' basement and I freaked out and jumped when I saw it, landing on and breaking my toe.
2. I almost broke my toe again in high school because I walked into my bathroom, saw a curled up snake on top of my CD player, assumed it was fake and that someone was playing a joke on me, reached to grab it and IT EFFING MOVED. I jumped backward and probably cursed. The snakes got in because my dumb cat didn't know how to use his cat door, so we had to prop it open.
3. My funniest experience at a movie in the theater was when I saw "Dodgeball". By no means was this the funniest movie I have ever seen, but the experience was funniest because it was in the University Square theater in Madison where they served beer and the crowd was 99% (rowdy) college students. The theater was packed that night and the beer was flowing (along with who-knows-what-else), making the movie approximately 300% funnier than it actually was. This inflated perception led me to argue that "Dodgeball" was the funniest movie of the summer over "Anchorman". After watching both again the following winter, I knew that I was, in fact, wrong. I will mention, however, that Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, had a similar "Dodgeball" experience: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/040706 .
4. I have a burn on the front of my neck from this past weekend. I was lying on my friend's couch eating just-out-of-the-oven Totino's Pizza Rolls, I bit into one, and the insides shot out and landed on the front of my neck. I sat there, writhing in pain, and just took it as I didn't have a napkin nearby, couldn't sit up or roll over as I was on my friend's nice couch, and didn't want to wipe it with my hand because I'm pretty sure it was at still a good 329 freaking degrees.
5. I find stories revolving around puking and/or pooping really, really funny. Haha
6. My Korean name is Seong Jin Choi.
7. My high score in original Game Boy Tetris is 682685. I have a picture to prove it. (Not, NOT Tetris DX.)
8. I have an increasingly obsessive habit of making lists. (Hey this is a list too!)
9. Sophomore year in college, I ate a McDonald's apple pie that I found in my backpack. It was four and a half days old. Then I puked
10. The best pizza I have ever had was at John's of Bleecker Street in NYC. My mouth literally just started watering.
11. I love and still have my original Nintendo. I still remember some passwords... for example, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest -- REV6 PVFX M45V 0OBT . Contra -- (okay seriously I think 65% of society knows this one)
12. I liked Facebook so much when it came out that I made it my web browser homepage. A certain friend, let's call him, oh, N. Abbott, used my computer, found this out, and rightly ridiculed me instantly. I immediately changed my homepage back to Google.
13. I recently started putting ketchup, mustard, and pickles on burgers.
14. While in high school, my bedroom, located in my parents' basement, began to gradually reek. It got worse every day and I didn't know what it was. After a week, my parents shampooed the carpet, and it smelled good for like, 2 days. Then the smell overpowered the shampoo again and kept getting worse. After 2 weeks had passed, I started flipping everything over. I had a rollaway bed under my normal bed, so I rolled it out... to find a DEAD BABY RABBIT. It had gotten stuck. Effing gross. (Again, the cat door.)
15. I have been involved in a "money fight" where there happened to be a plethora of loose change sitting around a hotel room and everyone decided it would be a good idea to throw it at each other. HARD. I think there were 6-8 participants in a 400 square feet area, with queen sized beds as barricades.
16. My most embarrassing moment ever was freshman year in high school during golf tryouts. High pressure, lot of nerves. First hole, Manitou Ridge, EVERYONE watching, and I WHIFF. The air rolled the ball off the tee a good inch or two. It didn't help that the golf coach added (in his funny nasal voice) "ya gotta play it where it lies, kay?" (For the record, I nailed the second shot under the big tree.)
17. My most un-funny poop-related story happened in Vegas. While in the hotel room, Dustin Simpson threatened to poop on me, and while normally this would be an unfounded threat, I became more and more genuinely scared as everyone else started throwing in significant cash incentives for him to actually do it. I think the pool got up to $100. I really thought he was gonna do it, for real. I was seriously angry and frightened, and was ready to start throwing punches. (Also, this was right around the time of the previously referenced "money fight")
18. Since being adopted at the age <1, I haven't been beyond the borders of the Continental U.S. Not even Canada or Mexico. Sad. (But that will change this year.)
19. Despite many assumptions, I rarely play video games. When I do, it is usually an RPG (role playing game) where you can name your character. Since they're just games, many times meant for little kids, I have often named myself "Jeffy". While in college, a roommate saw this. It has somewhat stuck... hence the nickname and every-so-often self-references to "Jeffy".
20. I'm very gullible.
21. I'm attracted to shiny objects.
22. I prefer black socks over white.
23. I went 12 years without throwing up. When I was six, my mom took my strawberry picking, and I literally ate about 50 strawberries. Bad idea. 12 years later I went to college...
24. I still watch this show. I don't care if it's gone downhill.
25. I'm 100% serious here: I didn't consciously realize I was Asian until around the 2nd grade. It just hit me one day. I thought to myself, "Hey, wait, I'm from South Korea, which is in Asia, so does that mean I'm... Asian? Yeah I think it does."
