Are you gonna finish that...?
  • Laugh obnoxiously
  • Watch TV
I'm a senior at Cal (no, I don't know what I'm gonna be doing yet so stop asking!) and am one of the biggest fatties you will ever meet. I plan my day around my meals and have food on my mind all day. However, you can't really tell thanks to my uber-fast metabolism (thanks, Momma and Poppa Chiou!). I love to karaoke and will sing until your ears bleed (you really should hear my rendition of "Lady Marmalade" -- it's quite breathtaking). TV shows that I LOVE: - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Arrested Development - Glee - 30 Rock - Pushing Daisies - Weeds - Mad Men - Firefly - Entourage - Dollhouse - Modern Family - Brothers & Sisters - Parenthood. My favorite ice-cream flavor is vanilla and my favorite cookie is snickerdoodles. My choice of beverage is water and am a sucker for all desserts (I cleaned out the dessert portion of the buffet at the Wynn in Las Vegas once -- true story). The biggest sign that tells you I'm comfortable being around you: I start bagging on you. And then I make what you will think are lame, but what I think are funny and witty jokes. I have three distinct laughs: 1. The Explosion - when I burst out laughing out of nowhere. This one tends to scare people because it's sudden and very loud. 2. The Silent One - when I laugh really hard, my laughs are silent and so it looks like I'm just convulsing. 3. The Donkey - yeah, I laugh like a donkey. It's hideous. But I can't help it. I hope to one day work in the entertainment industry and eventually become a producer of some sort (that part's still kind of fuzzy). And when I retire, I'm going to open up my own dessert shop and run myself out of business by cleaning out the kitchen everyday.
