1. My favorite article of clothing are V-Necks. I own about 15-20 of them in pretty much every single color.
2. I love eating lobster, even though it makes my throat extremely itchy.
3. I have a dual citizenship, with the US and Canada.
4. My first concert was to see Paul McCartney at Madison Square Garden.
5. I’ve been playing piano for almost ten years now, and violin for six.
6. I’ve taken a lot of language courses (Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian) but sadly am truly fluent in English.
7. One of the things I appreciate the most is my awesome relationship with my brother.
8. I had braces on for six years. That includes getting them once removed for a year, and having them put back on the week before I started middle school.
9. I cannot stand the sound of vacuums.
10. I can solve a Rubik’s cube in under a minute.
11. I dressed for halloween once as a banana, and another year as a taco. Both of those costumes now are sitting in my closet.
Today I spent nearly six hours playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl with some of my closest friends. I have to say my favorite all time character is Snake. Fast, sneaky, and powerful I was able to dominate every single match. I <3 Snake.
It’s almost my mom’s 50th birthday, and as her lovely daughter. I began shopping for her birthday gift. But please assure me that this is common. Every year you save some money and buy her an overly extravagant gift (well what you consider extravagant, due to your measly budget). But when she opens it, she’ll be like “OH WOW!” and “Exactly what I wanted” but it procedes to be placed in the back of closet with the other yearly gifts. My only solution is buy the most practical object she needs. This year she is complaining about the Mighty Mouse that she’s using with her Macbook. I just ordered her a brand new one, and as an extra bonus. It matches the red Speck Cover on her computer. It’s something she has to use. For parents, buy an item they are sure to use. I’m thinking mouses, watches, cases or whatever you see your parents use on a daily basis. Makes shopping a little less painful.
So basically you put your iTunes library on shuffle and for every prompt you type the name of the song that is playing. Some of them kind of creepily matched up.

My songs didn’t match up that well, but its probably due to the fact that I listen to the strangest variety of music.
The time has officially come, where I give up trying to use my Apple aluminum keyboard. After 8 months with the thing, I’m ready to move on. I was first awed by its slim profile and aluminum looks but it has pushed me over the edge. The keys are too flat to be responsive enough for me. Maybe because I learned how to type on a basic Dell keyboard, I need more of response, when I type a sentence out.
The keyboard has ruined my accuracy, constantly mistyping as I work on homework or type out a Twitter. It’s infuriating. Going to school and using the Dell keyboard is almost like an oasis from this issue. On the Dell, less errors, and quicker typing.
I’m hoping Apple releases new keyboards soon, though it seems unlikely. After making the switch from the Mighty Mouse to the MX Revolution, I’m probably going to go Logitech for my next keyboard purchased. I would be surprised that Apple would leave its focus on design to produce a usable keyboard, or have motivation to. The redesigned keyboard is highly loved by other mac users for its sleek profile. But for me, that design doesn’t cover the fact that typing on it is a pain.
