| - I have never been drunk to the point where I don't know and remember what's going on around me and who I am drinking with.
- I have turned down offers of marijuana and cigarettes on several occasions for no other reason than the fact that they just smells bad.
- 6 years ago, a close female friend and I once joked that if we can't find good men for ourselves, then we'd buy a house together and be life-long lesbian lovers. Little did we know, just 6 months after that joke, she met her future husband, and I met mine. Yes, God, that was very funny.
- I am a flip-flops kind of girl, but I can also barllroom/swing/latin dance in 3-inch heels for several hours on end.
- I look 30 pounds lighter than I actually weigh. I'll leave you to guess my weight.
- According to my husband (a native English speaker), I speak English with a very very slight Chinese accent but with damn-near-perfect grammar. Crap, 15 years of practice, and I am still not completely rid of the accent...
- If I am left to my own device, I would get up at noon and go to bed at 2am every day. What can I say, I am a creative type.
- I love watching my husband play video games, even the really gory ones such as Resident Evil 4.
- Be it on the Wii, at an arcade, or at the shooting alley at Disneyland, I am actually a very good shot.
- Politically, I am a registered Independent, and I vote Green.
- A tool set or an electronic gadget is a much more romantic gift to me than flowers.

| The rules: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird
things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their
own 6 weird things as well. In the end, you choose 6 people to be
tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says
you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
Remember, copy and paste this so as to state the rules clearly.
1) When I buy wine at Trader Joe's, I always get asked for my ID. On the other hand, my husband never gets his ID checked despite being 2+ years younger than me.
2) I'd beaten Tetris on the Famicom and on the GameBoy, and I still know the Contra code. To this day, I have not met one person who has also beaten Tetris.
3) I always finish a large (larger than my head) bowl of piping hot noodle soup when my husband is only half-way through his bowl. He thinks that I have an invisible internal ventilation system built for drinking hot soup.
4) Despite being in avid cook and foodie, I am able to convince myself to eat the same darn thing every day for at least a week.
5)
I can type faster than I can write.
6) I can google up anything, and I mean anything.
I tag: Critters_Diary, youvegotgail, cymbidiums2.

| Ok, so I am a casual reader of this online Evangelical Christian magazine "ChristianityToday." Today, I stumbled upon a bunch of articles against contraception. Honestly, I don't know what the fuss is all about. The writings revolve around the following idea: God wills married couples to procreate when having sex, so don't screw with it by putting a chemical or physical barrier to it, because that's interfering with God's will and sometimes killing an innocent embryo. On the surface, it looks like an application of a much tooted idea of "following God's will." Ok, I have nothing against "following God's will;" After all, that's a major part of being a disciple of Jesus. However, I disagree with these writers, and I think they border on abusing the idea of "following God's will"--it sounds to me more like "following our interpretation of following God's will."
I think what these writers have completely forgotten or avoided is this: where will one actually get the financial, emotional, and spiritual resources to support a child? I don't know where a couple of these writers get their money to live, and I am sure it's a heck of a lot cheaper to live in rural Wisconsin than metropolitan California, but still, most newlywed college-grad Christian couples I've encountered don't even have enough money to support a pet, let alone a child. Children have basic needs even without being spoiled, and gosh darn it, everything kid-related in this country is freaking expensive--has it occured to anyone that even diapers for one kid can cost $2000+ a year as of 2005?! Not every married twenty-somethings have $2000+ to spend just on diapers, and that's just diapers. Moreover, we are the generation that's been infamous for our "quarter-life crisis" (see NY Times Article), and sadly, quite a few of us have been kept from growing up and from being responsible and independent, and yes, as with every generation, some of us may never grow up. It is foolish to try to be responsible for extremely impressionable and helpless little people *before* we even know how to be responsible for ourselves. The spiritual part follows the previous point: before one can be a competent parent, one had better have a good clear idea of what he/she really believes and not just parroting what parents/pastors/authors say. There's a difference between "following God's will" and just plain being rash, and it's plain using God's name in vain by masquerading the latter by saying the former. Life is a sacred thing, so be wise about it and plan for it.
