When I was a teen, I used to do these surveys ALL the time. I’m pretty sure I did them for my profile on AIM and maybe Xanga? I don’t have access to my old blog anymore [insert sad face] so I thought I’d do a fun survey with get-to-know-me questions for old time’s sake on here. I’d love to learn more about you guys as well so if you have time, fill this baby out and share it with me in the comments below. Sending big hugs from Maryland, and a big thanks to Art-C-Tech Photography for the bamf images.
- Are you a morning or night person? I’m definitely a night owl, but I force myself to get up early on the daily anyways because the early bird gets the worm + [insert more generic BS about hustling].
- Do you prefer, sweet or salty foods? Hm, that’s a toughie. I’d say salty?
- Ninjas or pirates? Ninjas for sure.
- Autobots or Decepticons? …I have no idea what this means. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one that’s lost.
- What was your favorite childhood television program? I used to LOVE Captain Planet, Hey Arnold, Doug, and Power Rangers.
- Are you a collector of anything? Yessss, I collect experiences. And bags. And shoes.
- If you could be any animal, what would you be? Either a super spoiled dog like my maltese Daisy – trust me, she has the best life ever – or a lioness because I’d want to be queen of the freakin’ jungle. What what!
- If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Teleportation so I could see my hot hapa bf whenever I wanted to.
- What is usually your first thought when you wake up? Ermergerd, I need coffee.
- What do you usually think about right before falling asleep? I think WAY too much at night, and it’s a serious problem because it keeps me up. I’m usually analyzing my day, thinking about what went wrong and what I could’ve done/can do to make it better. #OverachieverProblems
- What’s your favorite color? black and emerald green.
- What’s your favorite animal? I love all animals but especially PENGUINS!!!!
- Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Yep. The world’s just too ginormous to rule anything out IMO.
- Do you believe in ghosts? Yes, I’ve experienced some weird sh*t in my lifetime, but that’s a story for another day.
- Ever been addicted to a video/computer game? Omg yes. When I was growing up, I lived to play Age of Empires and Warcraft. In college, I was obsessed with Guitar Hero and then Resident Evil in grad school. I reallllly want to buy a game console, but I know doing so will seriously ruin productivity so I’m exercising restraint. #SelfControlFTW
- If you were given 1 million dollars, what do you spend it on? I’d invest in different business ventures. I guess that’s what you get when you’re an entrepreneur at heart!
- Have any bad habits? I drink way too much caffeine, bite my nails, and overthink anything and everything. Still want to be my friend? =P
- Which bad habits, if any, drive you crazy? I can’t stand it when people chew with their mouths open – the ensuing smacking noises drive me insane.
- List 3 of your best personality traits: Funny (or so I like to think), kind, and focused.
- List 3 of your worst personality traits: Moody, temperamental, and anxious.
- Have any celebrity crushes? I totally swooned over Tuxedo Mask – yes a cartoon character, don’t judge – from Sailor Moon when I was a kid. As a teen, I crushed hard on David Boreanaz while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and now Jensen Ackles from Supernatural. Apparently, I’m all about tall, dark and handsome, ha.
- List 1 thing you wish you could change about yourself: I really wish I could control my anxiety better. It tends to drive me up the wall! I also have a tendency to self-deprecate.
- Any tattoos or piercings? No tattoos, but I do have my ears pierced.
- What’s the first thing you notice in the opposite sex? Their eyes, smile and then their shoulders and arms.
- Whats your dream date? Hm, I don’t really have one? As long as I’m with a person I’m SUPER into, it doesn’t matter what we do.
- What personality traits do you look for in a partner? He needs to be calm and super patient because I may or may not be hella fiery, ha. Kindness, intelligence, and a good sense of humor are all important characteristics as well.
- What personality traits do you dislike in other people? Arrogance. It’s definitely a thin line but confidence is sexy whereas arrogance is a total turnoff. Also, rude people piss me off! If I’m on a date with a guy, and he’s rude to a waiter for example, then it’s a done deal for me. I believe in being kind whenever possible.
- Do you see yourself getting married in the next 5 years? Eh, I’m not sure. We’ll see 😉
- Are you mostly a clean or messy person? Definitely clean. I’m all about keeping things organized and germ-free.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? I’m actually really happy living in Maryland. The DMV’s a great place to be so I’m more than content.
- If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? Hm, I like visiting tropical islands, but I’d love to visit Japan sometime in the near future.
- List 5 goals on your life’s to-do list: Graduate with my doctorate, kill it with Sensible Stylista and Nomtastic Foods (my secondary food blog), get back into shape, learn more about photography, and become the best piano teacher possible for my students at the Peabody Prep.
- Name 1 regret you have: Not exploring NY more when I was getting my master’s degree at Juilliard.
- Name 1 thing you miss about being a kid: I don’t really miss anything in particular? Is that weird to say? Ha.
- Name 1 thing you love about being an adult: Just being in full control of my life.
- What’s your favorite song of the moment? “Open” by Yellowclaw
- What’s your favorite song of all time? Hm, probably “I Remember” by Deadmau5
- What’s your favorite thing to do on a Saturday night? Relax with my adorable maltese pup Daisy after an extremely long day of teaching!
- What’s your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Pre-schedule my blog posts for the week while drinking coffee or green tea!
- Have any hidden talents? Hmmm, I don’t know if this is a hidden talent, but I’m really good with kids!
- You’re about to walk the green mile, what do you have as your last meal? Chinese food from Hunan Taste and a bottle of Shiraz.
- What would be your dream job? I’m living it! Playing + teaching piano by day, blogging by night. I wouldn’t change a thing – I feel so blessed to be living my dream.
- Which would you rather have, 100 million dollars or true love? 100 million dollars because I’ve already found my true love.
- If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be? I’m going to be THAT @$$hole and keep wishing for more wishes, ha.
- Ever wish you were born the opposite sex? Nope. Come on, we all know that girls have magical powers.
- Name something not many people know about you: I have a black belt in tae-kwon-do, and I’m related to Confucius (!!!) Seriously though, I am.
- If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to? I wouldn’t. I used to HATE my name because everyone would make fun of me and call me King Kong, but now I love it and own it. I guess if I had to choose something different, I’d go with my Korean name? It’s Bitna, and it means “shining.”
- Do you believe in the afterlife? I’m not really sure. I used to be super christian growing up, but I’m currently agnostic so I’m going to refrain from answering this question.
- Do you have any irrational fears? I’m TERRIFIED of bugs, and I also have a crippling fear of heights.
- What’s one talent that you wish you had? I wish I was a bad@$$ hip hop dancer. I could seriously watch “Unity in Diversity” videos all day, err day. Maybe I’ll take lessons after my degree!
How fun! I learned so much about you haha. I’m definitely a morning person and I totally agree with you on number 34 for myself. It’s definitely not weird at all haha. 🙂 Great post!
