I was tagged by Stevo, who writes Inane Ramblings from a life in China.

My life is pretty much an open book. I had a hard time thinking of seven random things you don’t know about me. So here it goes:

1. If I could do anything else in the world, I’d be a marine biologist.

2. I like stinky tofu a lot. (Stinky tofu is a popular SE Asian malodorous snack consisting of fermented tofu.)

3. I designed jewelery for ten years in Ontario, Canada before moving to Asia.

4. My uber-organized attention to detail often leads me to engaging in conversations with myself. Thankfully it doesn’t happen too often in public.

5. I never get stressed about getting lost because I’m perpetually lost. I get lost even with clear directions and a navigation system.

6. When I’m sad, I listen to Nina Simone at top volume. When I’m super pissed, I throw some L7 on and thrash. I love working out and running to electronica. Led Zeppelin puts me in the mood for long, hard walks on busy streets.

7. I’ve eaten a lot of really gross things like: donkey dumplings, beef penis, cow tongue, silkworms, snake, turtle soup, pig tendon, chicken heart, pig knuckles, raw octopus and lobster, baby quail embryo, deer embryo….. Some of it I ate knowingly. Most of it was unavoidable. I draw the line at bugs.
