Quirks:
I like to buy grocieries…a lot. 3 hrs hunting for the right items is normal for me.
I eat cereal dry and with a cup of crysanthemum tea.
I love animals and babies, especially animal babies
I collect DVDs that I never watch
I can’t enjoy a meal when pretty girls are around
For seven years I used hair conditioner only…I figured it was decently scented enough and could do the job of shampoo as well.
I never kill bugs I find indoors, except flies. Spiders I leave alone; the rest I guide to safety.</p>
<p>Feel free to use whatever format; I figured having a rubric would make things a little easier. Wishing you all a great new year, with plenty of college acceptances.</p>

I cannot eat cereal dry. I always need milk. I love milk.(haha)
I seriously CANNOT each chocolate/bread/cake stuff WITHOUT milk..
Milk is my passion!!!! (j/k)
I'm definitely scared of bugs. (esp. spiders)
but I find snakes very cute. I want one of them as my pet;)
I have this chronical illness that makes me fall asleep in almost every single test that I take in my life...(AP tests, even SATs.. not to mention one of those chapter tests at school.)
I wanna go East Coast. I'm so sick of CA.</p>
<p>and BTW, tropical, no offense, but washing your hair only with conditioner is kinda... sick. it doesn't really reduce the oil/dirty stuff as effective as shampoos. Shampoos are designed to CLEAN your hair while conditioners are designed to SOFTEN your hair. There's a difference.</p>
<p>And CA is awesome! Fcking oceanside, westside pride baby. Such beautiful girls around here. If they had a Brown in Cali I would live on campus and refuse to leave if I were rejected.</p>

<p>orange mocha frappucino (didn't want to bother with the weird signs, sorry)- unfortunately, saying "like" a lot isn't just a california thing, ppl do it everywhere, i would know since i'm also guilty of the crime.</p>
<p>h2onine-mr. burns has something going on with his secretary guy... i personally think they are so CUTE together! haha

Name: Linh (this nickname is my name in Chinese - isn't it cool?)

Fav Author: a whole lot. Conan Doyle, J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, Jules Verne and O'Henry.

Quirks:
I hate wet cereal too, it's pathetic. Dry cereal is much more fun. I shake all the flakes out and eat them raw.
If I haven't got my due share of sleep, no alarm clock can wake me.
I love French fries to distraction. And while you're at that, mention pizza and hamburgers too. I'm one of the people Federal Health Program (or whatever it is) hates:D
I'm a vigorous opponent of maudlin Korean dramas.
To cap it all, I actually enjoyed preparing for the SAT. Whoa, hail the King of the Nerds!
Want a pic? Here you go. I'm the farthest one wearing pink. Looked a bit weird though...anyway:

Who doesn't love musicals?
My secret ambition is to run a Bed and Breakfast and simultaneously write a monumental piece of classic literature
I hate grapefruit</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for the compliment beprepn. Actually I picked up all my American colloquialism right on this CC board. And when you take into account that Linguistics is my greatest passion ever, it really adds up.
Still, we never got round to actually talking, so my spoken English sounds like crap. Besides, I don't think all that perfect English had a chance to shine thru my essays.
Nope, I've never been out of Vietnam. Lame huh? Still, of all the schools I'm applying to, Brown is the one I really love. Everything about it. Especially now I see we're gonna be very comfortable together, what with all the quirks about dry cereal and stuff;)
Btw, did you get in Pton early?</p>
