Random things about the Alg (that you may wish you didn't find out)

I hope by posting this blog I create a pool of viewers willing to come back to read more!

- I am deathly scared of strong winds blowing over the place I am staying in. This is because when I was little, I could hear and feel my parent's house start to shake whenever there were strong gusts. This may be the reason why I would be unwilling to live in an apartment in a very tall building.

- I am super competitive. End of discussion.

- I pretty much will accept any (sane but hilariously embarrassing) challenge or bet. Some past challenges I have done include doing a belly flop off of a high diving board (ended in a bloody nose), dancing on top of a chair at Hooters to the YMCA, hitting on the waitress at Hot Wings, throwing seeds over the fence and into the neighbor's pool (which lead to cops coming by), etc.

- I typically remember my first encounter with people, like where I met them, how I met them, what we were doing when I met them. I think it's pretty interesting to reminisce about how you first met your current friends, so then you can all laugh about it.

- My biggest strength? Compassion (until I get betrayed) My biggest flaw? Tie between Indecision and Stubbornness.

- I am a creature of habit.

- I also hold grudges, even if I don't even remember what the original grudge was. Luckily, my hate list is very short.

- I like chick flicks.

- There are a lot of things I want to do, but sometimes am too afraid to do them. Like quit my job and work outside of the sciences.

- Even though I have done a lot of things (like: get on foodporn, bike across Iowa, fail the 4lb pho challenge, road trip, visited most major cities in the US), I feel like I have done nothing. Maybe I haven't done the right things?

- If I were a girl, I would totally be into buff dudes; therefore, I attempt to be buff.

- My music taste reflect the tastes of people around me. I have been known to like the same songs as the people I hang out with...kinda like a chameleon. Also, certain songs that I like are usually tied to a certain time in my life. Listening to these songs help me relive past experiences.

- If I sleep on my stomach, I will start to drool within the minute. If I sleep on my side, my arm will go numb. So, I can only sleep comfortably on my back.

- I hate my hair. For whatever reason, it always comes out so fluffy and voluminous.

- I hate needles. Also the dark scares me. I am a wimp.

- When I was growing up, I wanted to be a navy seal.

- Once I get really into something, I HAVE to keep doing that thing. For example, once I start a TV series I have to keep watching until I get to the end of the season.
