E-Rob recently tagged me and now i'm challenged to list eight random facts about myself. Since I've done this a couple of times it's getting harder to think of random things that meet the criteria I'm looking for. My goal is to list interesting facts and stay away from anything that makes me look like too much of a freak. But I actually enjoy reading other people's lists so much that I'm going to do my best to come up with something good. So, E, I hope I do you justice!
1) I tend to get the dreaded 'Asian face' in photo graphs. It's ok to look Asian if you are, but I'm not. My eyes just get really squinty because they're sensitive to light. If you have a one flash camera don't even try to take a good picture of me.
2) I put purple streaks in my hair in Thailand, but they've mostly faded by now. I was a little bummed about it but then I realized I'll be in America soon meeting a lot of new people. It's probably good I don't have purple hair.
3) My biggest fear in going back to America is that I won't travel again for a really really long time.
4) I've had giardia three times since I came to India from bad water. Americans would save millions on diets if they just came to South Asia and drank tap water.
5) My favorite food is hummus with olive oil and pita bread.
6) I'm not fluent in Hindi, but I randomly substitute Hindi words and phrases for English ones...even when I'm talking to my American friends who live here. I forget English words all the time. No one is going to understand me when I come home.
7) I can never remember what day or time it is. Sometimes I even forget the month. Last year I sent Suzanne a birthday email on July 18th even though her birthday is August 18th. I didn't forget her birthday--I really thought it was August.
8) I'm going to Africa in 11 days
Ok--I actually started this post several days ago (hence the date) and since that time I've almost completely finished packing. If you know me well you realize what a feat this is. I usually pack the night before I go anywhere. Sometimes I wait until the morning I leave. But not this time!
