The Ten Things

So you want to know a little more that doesn’t relate to my professional life? Ok. It’s usually hard for me to write about myself, as my interests change a lot. I find it easier to think in lists, so here’s a list of 10 random things about me!

  1. I eat pizza with ranch dressing and soy sauce — yeah, I don’t know why either. Other than IT’S DARN GOOD!
  2. I was born in Iran; lived in Chile and Mexico, and love to travel. I hate walking, though.
  3. Even though I hate walking, I love running and have run a 5k and half marathons. I’d love to run a full marathon someday.
  4. I love to dance. There’s just something about it that makes my soul smile.
  5. I don’t do scary movies. Many have tried to cure my fear of them, but all have failed. No, that’s not a challenge for you to try.
  6. I’m obsessed with Japanese pens, erasures, stationary pencil pouches.
  7. I got my motorcycle license and own a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 650R. I don’t ride as much as I’d like to anymore… I need to change that.
  8. I have two bags in my trunk at all times — my gym/dance bag, and my work backpack.
  9. I have a thing for bags… backpacks, messenger bags, murses/purses, and pouches. It’s… a thing.
  10. I would love to learn more languages. Currently speak English, Spanish, French (really rusty on this — must review this more and not sound like a three-year-old!), token phrases in Vietnamese, and … I think I’ll leave the swearing off this list since it’s not applicable to most conversations. Unless you’re cursing in traffic.
