Briefly explain the relevant items:

• Childhood:  Where did it go?  I miss it!

• Friends: Got a bundle.  Some are good, some are bad, some are just not to be had.

• Enemies: Currently trying to rid myself of them.  But they keep popping up!  Like daisies!  *stompity!*

• Love: Or lack therof.  Which is pretty much the same thing

• Secrets:  Can you keep a secret?  So can I!

• Education: Work hard in High School so we can be rewarded with more hard work in college.  Woot!

• Religion: Current a mixture of agnostic leaning towards deist.  But we shall see...

• Money: Makes the world go 'round

• Employment: Currently looking for a paying internship in a newsroom.  Tutoring (English, history) and sometimes intern-ness in a Dental Office

In one word:   Eccentric

First impression:  Outgoing, daring, off-kilter, ordinary (it really depends on if you catch me in a hyper mood or not)

Gets angry at:  Self.  Cheaters, smokers, ignoramuses, intolerance, contradictions

Laughs at:  sarcasm, droll wit, pompous people, philanderers, puns, blatant propaganda, TV evangelists, Oprah Winfrey

Cries at:  moments of immense self loathing?  (I don't cry often, and not in public)

Regrets:  nothing and everything

Vulnerability:  inconsistent self-esteem, (also: extremely defensive of brother and a cousin)

Prejudices:  Irvine people, the O.C., litterbugs, people who drive hummers, drug users, Republicans, middle class Asian parents...and then I USED to be prejudiced towards these people: immigrant workers, homosexuals, homeless people; but I've gotten over it.  It's slowly working...I don't want to be prejudiced or have predilections!  But since everyone has them, I might as well admit...that...I am anti rich snobbish WASPs... *aragh! pulls out hair*  i am soooo evil!

Fears:  Bees, e-coli, cancer, car accidents, paralysis, vegetable state, blinding, rape, SARS, and Ebola.

Most valued possession (and why):  computer has lots of love and labor on it.  Diary has intimate thoughts.  And then photo albums have precious moments.  But my most valued possession is me.  Unfortunately.

Pressing need:  To use the restroom?  To get more sleep?  To get into a good college and please insufferable Asian parents?

Pressing desire:  a computer update, monthly publication in a magazine with circulation 100,000, and a low-maintenance boyfriend.

Other goals:  lose weight/get fit, get straight- As, do the hustle, etc.

Responsibilities: take care of brother, manage grades, run lit mag, newsletters, newspapy, tutor, apply to colleges, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, a bunch of club stuff, amnesty, ssr, etc.

Sense of humor:  Sarcasm, which I know is the lowest brand.  Punny, cynical, and ironic stuff.  What, you thought I liked cutesy?  Well, I do.  In my fart books.

Other positive personality traits:  loyal, determined, opinionated, ambitious, defensive, idealistic, justice-seeking, sympathetic to others (hopefully, when I'm not preoccupied with myself), able to see the missing details in between A to B

Other negative personality traits (character flaws):  cynical, accusatory, paranoid, stubborn, manipulative (but fair), frank, blunt, too-far-out-there, mildly schizoid, a thousand faces a day, emotionally driven, pedantic, pedagogic, annoying, didactic, and juggling lots without reaping the benefits.

How are these relevant to the story? Eh...ask me some other time...

Hobbies:  Writing, drawing, editing, dissection (except for eyeballs)

Skills:  negotiation, quick decision making (sometimes), looking at missed details, thinking out of the box  (i am trying to develop 'grace under fire', but it's a long time coming)

Smells:  bad.  Wait, what kind of character outline is this?  Sour apples and dorritos?  j/k  I like peachy stuff.  And raspberry.  And Cucumber Melon.  And of course, coconut and vanilla.

Favorite color:   Red.  Blood red.  But it makes for bad layouts.  And also baby blue, because it's a cute color.

Favorite food:  pickles, smelly tofu, warheads, nerds

Favorite beverage: boba, royal milk tea, raspberry iced tea (yum), jamba juice strawberry tsunami

Favorite music: I listen to everything under the sun.  prefer alt.rock and showtunes above all.

Favorite clothing:  My BwB Torcon Shirt.  It's huge (XXL) and has a dragon skull with a quill in it's mouth.  Runnerup: Indiana Jones T-shirt with big hood

Describe this character's home:  Home is an empty place rendered a mess by my carelessness and random strewing about of things.  My computer is my only solace.  Right.  Melodrama.  Basically just your typical Irvine home with all of it's secrets intact. 

What complications arise from this character?:  We have yet to really discover what complications arise from me.  Currently I am insufferable and unreliable and bad at prioritizing.  Some dissidents claim I give awful advice.  But we shall see.  We shall see.

Comments/Notes:  You've read far.  I hope you're sick of me, because now you can focus on my work?  And don't worry: I'm not as cynical as I sound.  I'm an idealist.  A cynical idealist.
