Quirks:
I have a lot of strange hang-ups, like my hate for the word "conflagration."
I love little-known grammar things, like how "..." is called an ellipsis and "?!" is called an interrobang, et al.
I am addicted to fashion magazines, runway shows, the Style Network, and the Bravo channel.
I hate the show "Ambush Makeover." Such poor tastes, those people! Ugh, I can't believe how often they choose dark lipliner with light lipstick.
I'm a sucker for ALL things British. Especially people. British people = my loves.
I like obscure real languages, or real languages (real meaning not mystical) not commonly spoken--but my favorite language is English.
I'm afraid of bugs to a very unhealthy degree.
My favorite bands include the Buzzc0cks and Placebo.
I like European pop music.
I always say what's on my mind, especially at the worst of moments in the worst of places.</p>

That was me over a year ago (maybe two years) when I still had my comeover days with one of my best friends.
The both of us look nothing like that now... we were once so young!
I'm a chameleon when it comes to looks.</p>
<p>^^ Whoa yea! You look real young in the first pic. Cool girl, cool girl. </p>
<p>If you love the British you hafta check out Faulty Towers. Its an ancient comedy, but you should be able to find it at the library.</p>
<p>Hahaha, it still wasn't Harvard after all. Just word of mouth from a pal of mine. Rumors do get distorted after a while, but you see, there's always a grain of truth in them.
Everyone here is hooked on Full House, that is, except me, of course. I never even got to see a full episode, but I loved the song "Three Bears" nevertheless. It was the cutest thing ever.
Don't know if Korean girls are hot, but Mediterranean guys are definitely heartbreakers;)</p>

<p>haha Korean girls ARE hot. I'm a witness to you all. if i knew how to work that photo bucket thing i would prove it to u all.
i think russian guys are the sexiest heartbreakers.</p>
<p>hi...i'm new to the Brown forum...^__^</p>
<p>miaoling ~ i just started watching Full House (dubbed in Thai though cuz i don't speak korean) lol</p>
<p>h20nline ~ i think korean guys are hott XD lol right now i'm obsessed with tvxq (wahh, i know i know, totally stupid >.<)</p>
<p>What, h20nline? The sexiest heartbreakers are the English boys, of course. :)</p>
<p>Like many, I'm a sucker for an accent. David Gray, anyone?</p>
<p>David Gray is pretty good. Boy band Blue of England is awesome. Their melodies hella surpass Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees, and N'Sync although their lyrics are a bit weak. The name is generic so its harder to dl their songs off a file-sharing program, but get em if u can!</p>
<p>Chibiajiajin, what exactly IS your nickname? Sounds half Chinese to me, literally - "jia" and "jin" are very common sounds in Chinese.
@Effulgent: yeah yeah, you mentioned your soft spot for British stuff. Aren't you hooked on Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert whatsisname who played Ron Weasley? Personally I think Radcliffe wants a bit more acting skills, but both of them look really cute.
Believe it or not, I can't remember how many guys there are in Blue. I only listened, never watched;) Long live pure music! You can find mp3 or wma recordings for every song online by Googling the name of the song in parentheses with the extension .mp3 or .wma on. Beware of adware though.</p>
<p>anyone want some chocolate??</p>
<p>cuz I'm gonna go poooo...</p>
<p>miaoling ~ my nickname is japanese, actually ^__^ chibi = small, little; ajiajin = asian (person). basically, me. haha</p>

<p>samantha-my bff is teaching me farsi too! haha weird.</p>
<p>no no russian guys for sure and with the accent, they're delicious. BUT korean guys are tasty too. I can't wait to go back this summer :)</p>
<p>Is it just me or is this topic over run with horny asian girls and a few korean drama obsesed males? Any one else on here? Cause I can handle only so many horny asian woman and weird korean lovers and I need to know there are other people applying to Brown.
No offense to horny asian girls, I love em', I just need to know I'll beable to escape em' ;)</p>
<p>hahaha well, i'm not a horny asian girl and i've never seen a korean drama. although i hope you can put up with someone who doesn't kill spiders. :)</p>
<p>lol amen bro. They're flaunting their ethnic tastes.</p>
<p>Is Brown your top choice?</p>
