16 Things, Facts, Habits, Goals

1. I've had a moderate case of pectus excavatum since I was born (this explains half of my screenname). When I was little, my theory was that my dad threw a football at my chest.

2. I wanted to play little league baseball when I was young, but my dad never put me into it.

3. I ran into the corner of a wall running away from my sister. I cracked my head and had my first stitches.

4. I was playing fort with blankets and one of the drawers came out and the corner fell on my head. I cracked my head and had my first staple.

5. When I was 4, my dad was taking me to Toys "R" Us. He started the car, but forgot something inside. I put the car into reverse and demolished our neighbors' wall.

6. My sister and I were biking. I went down a hill really fast. Because it was super fun, I told my sister to go down really fast too (forgot she was on training wheels). One side gave in, she fell over and broke her arm at age 4.

7. I threw Nickelodeon Gak into my sister's hair thinking it would come out. It didn't. I shoved her into the closet so my parents wouldn't see.

8. In 3rd grade, I was the times table champion 6 months in a row, the jump rope champion, and 3rd place in the handball tourney. I was so proud of myself.

9. Starting out high school, I was 4'8". Hence, the screenname: LiLsHorTyPiNoY85.

10. During the 6.6 Northridge earthquake in 1994, I was sleeping at my cousin's place in Cerritos. Supposedly, a large lamp fell on my face and I still didn't wake up.

11. After meeting at a friend's place for a school project, I got to drive my HS crush home. And I was so intently listening to her that I got badly rear-ended after driving too slowly after I took a right turn.

12. At one point in my life, I thought I was the second coming of Jesus.

13. I pissed in my pants right before I boarded Riddler's Revenge at Magic Mountain. I was in 8th grade. I went to Tidal Wave to clean myself off to find it was closed.

14. When I was 12, I ripped up a twenty-dollar bill my dad gave me at a family party because of his drunken and alcoholic ways. My, have things changed since.

15. Our rabbit was getting too big for the cage we built for it. My dad decided to let go be free in the "wild" near our house. We found its bloody dead body later that week. What were we thinking...

16. One time at a track meet, one of my friends said to me, "Wow, your dad is here at every track meet. You're lucky." That's when I realized how lucky I was to have him as my father.
