I was Sorted into Gryffindor House. I go the maximum score of 50 on the Wizard Challenge. My wand is unicorn hair and mahogany, 8 inches.
I was the last freshman (with grace kwak) to leave the
Harvard Union.
I was the first freshman (with Tun-Kai Yang) at Annenberg Hall.
I was on the first flight out of Logan Airport after the tragedy on September 11, 2001.
There is NO uninteresting fact #6!
I am a Councilman on the Council of Brass.
I am a graduate of the Psycho School of Psychotics.
I am co-president (with Deborah Cowan) of the W.T.P.I.F.A.
(Winnie-the-Pooh International Fan Association).
I am a member of the Best Meal Buddy Group Ever club. The other
member is my little sister Janice.
I sing bass. (We're all bar-i-tones; we're all bar-i-tones . . . )
On the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, I am an ISTJ (Introverted, Sensing,
Thinking, Judging), whatever that means. Incidentally, that makes me the
exact opposite of such illustrious people as Helena Fu and James Choung.
I spell the word cool (as in neat, keen, groovy, or
excellent), chool.
My big brother Justin is chool.
He graduated with a Masters in Electrical Engineering and a 4.9/5.0 GPA from
MIT and is just a generally nifty guy.
He's now a student at Stanford Law School.
My little sisters Jenn,Janice, and
Teresa and my little brother Chris are
also chool (wonder if I'm biased?). We're not blood relatives, but we
are Blood relatives.
The stupidest word in the English language that I have encountered is
bicenquinquagenary which means 250th anniversary. The second
stupidest word is quasquicentennial which means 125th anniversary. Who
comes up with these things anyway?
One of the most interesting words in the English languge that I know is
pontificate, which basically means to speak or express opinions in
a pompous way. It's one of those words that seems created for Harvard
students.
Another very interesting word is sesquipedalian which means having
many syllables or characterized by the use of long words. I like
self-descriptive words.
I enjoy solving Rubik's Cubes. In fact,
I detest unsolved Cubes. I am, however, very disappointed with the
quality of the Cubes made by Oddzon.
I've had the fortune of having a number of really great roommates and
housemates:
My college roommates were Vicente "V-man" Valdepeñas, Shin
"the Punk" Lin, Daniel "Play with Doggy" Chen, Tun-Kai "Gov-Jock turned
Consultant" Yang, and Michael "Morning Person" Fang.
The first year after college I lived with Howard "Ma-Po Tofu" Hsu, Eric "Yankees Suck"
Vogt, Ben "Gadget" Choi, James "School Voucher" Choi, Greg "Bike Man"
Fung, Robert "Palm" Riviello, Nate "Nate-aji" Barksdale, and, of course,
Collin "Getting Hitched" Tomikawa, staffworker extraordinaire.
The second year after college I lived with Mako "Theophile" Nagasawa, Ming
"Non-Competitive" Nagasawa, Chris "Sure, you can borrow my car" Tsang,
Davina "High Energy" Ling, Mary "Superlative" Pavan, Kenita "Chef"
Spencer, Lizadriana "Little One" Cagua, Becky "Hospitality" Mulligan,
Mao-Mei "Go-Getter" Liu, Leslie "Oh, I'll just set up a new ministry"
Moore, Tischa "Cranberry" Brown, Melissa "Wasabi" Rivera and last, but
certainly not least, John Athanasius Yang Guang Nagasawa.
Party on!
Annelisse Schnitzelpusskrankengescheitmeyer and I developed some odd
opinions about rice.
