This is a response to Jing’s ‘Getting to Know You’ note on Facebook. I know people think these are lame but they really do help you get to know somebody better. Sure it would be better if I just hung out and talked with the person to find all this out, but I’m introverted and forgetful. Like I didn’t know Jing liked mushrooms on his pizza that much. I might have learned he isn’t like Duffy who hates mushrooms, but would I know it was his favorite topping?
These things are also great for self reflection. It is always good to look inward and examine how things are going. I’m adjusting to having to go to work every day, but I also know how lucky I am to even be employed.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
8:10am
2. How do you like your steak?
Medium – most places don’t do it right anyway, so I aim for the middle
3. What was the last film you saw in the cinema?
JackA**3D – I probably shouldn’t have gone to see it. I do not recommend it. Sure it was funny but a lot of things are. There are okay scenes and there are scenes I never want to mention again.
4. What is your favorite TV show?
Running Wilde – Mainly because my funny bone cannot separate it from Arrested Development.
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
California. Sadly, the cost of weather is too great, I fear earthquakes, and my family doesn’t live there.
6. What did you have for breakfast?
These Oatmeal To Go things Annette told me about over the weekend. I’m not sure if it is any healthier than just a plain breakfast bar, but they taste ok and judging from my bowel movements, do contain a good amount of fiber.
7. What is your favorite cuisine?
Cheesey Cuisine (like with cheese)
8. What foods do you dislike?
I do not like to mix my sweet and savory.

10. Favorite dressing?
Ranch
11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Asian Stereotype Honda Accord
12. What are your favorite clothes?
If I could, I would wear t-shirt and jeans every day and throw on a hoodie in the winter when it gets cold. This dress shirt and tie business is already getting old. If I don’t see a single client all day, why do I need to be dressed like this?
13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
Greece
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?

Texas, dirt cheap, international airports, no snow, and my family is here

See #19 again.
22. Bird Watcher?
If I see a bird, I might watch it. I do not have bird watching gear like binoculars. Which reminds me, somebody cannot say binocular. I can’t remember who. I can’t even remember how they say it…Bye-Nocular vs Buh-Nocular?
23. Do you consider yourself attractive?
Could be worse
24. Pets?
None

The job I guess. Of course, it won’t be official until after this three month contract period and when I get paid a real salary with benefits.
26. What did you want to be when you were little?
Stock broker – only remember this because somebody told me I said it in middle school.

Vanilla (it is the finest of the flavors)
36. Favorite Fast food?
Dinner and Dancing and Taco Bell

AT&T home internet
39. Which store would you like to max out your credit card?

As a person who is not a fan of jobs, it really could be worse.
42. Broccoli?
I like broccoli a lot.
43. What was your favorite vacation?
This one is really hard. All vacations by definition are great. What do I rank on…the people, the experience, the locations? If I could only go on one more trip and it would be exactly like the one I went on…I’d pick Taiwan, winter 2004. Seriously too hard of a question.
44. Last person you went to dinner with?
Duffy, Sunny, Helen, Vanhdy, Jenny
