Take a stab at my middle name: Mii-Kyung (Mee-Key-Young)
My favorite answer: Korean translation of GirlLadyFriend

Do I smoke? Truth time: Yes I do. I started up again in April.
This is my favorite answer:Yes, no, yes, no, yes again. I'm hoping I'm missing anew "no" at the end there.

Do I believe in God? In the gods, definitely. There is something that weall believe in, even if it is something that we createfor ourselves. Buddha, definitely. However Buddhareally isn't a god.Some of your answers are:God, no. Buddha, maybe. perhaps if God is a SHE
What's my age? 30!!! And my birthday? Aug. 15

Do I have any siblings? yes, 1 bro, Mike.

What's one of my favorite things to do?Actually, your answers are pretty right on:
Nap in your LazyGal ;-)
See friends.watch animal planet

What's my favorite type of book to read and how long does it take me to read your basic novel?Romance dressed up as fine literature and I eat them up. It usually takes a couple of hours (I am a very fast reader) and I tend to block out everything while I am reading. I have been known to stay up all night reading. I just can't read one chapter and put a book down.
Your answers:
Trashy British romance under the guise of modernfiction/literature. An afternoon.
Nasty, trashy, disgustingly romantic romance novels, -usually takes about 4 nights of non stop reading preventing you from sleeping.
you INHALE books you don't read them from what i recall.
everybody knows your favorite book to read is hardcore porn.

What is the best feature about me? These are my favorite answers:
you're very tall for your height
You're fun & lively and slothy & relaxed at all the right times.

Am I shy or outgoing? I would say that I am shy, but some of you feeldifferently.
Some of your answers
You can be shy in social situations, but generally outgoing with those you know
Outgoing on the outside - shy on the inside. And about as subtle as a Mack truck.
Pseudo-outgoing. Probably shy, but very loud.

Am I a rebel or do follow all the rules? I think I follow the rules more than I rebel, but your answers made me laugh:
you follow rules
That's tricky - and I'm trying to answer honestly. I think you follow the rules, but subvert them. It's a little more subtle than rebellion; it's more like behaving and misbehaving at the same time.
You follow rules, but not the stupid ones.

Any special talents? I feel that my special talent is listening. But someof you had some different answers:
artiste, excellent writer, damn good at crosswords, knitter
You're not afraid to ask for things; you can make finger puppets; you can take charge.
Animales, technology, decorating with cute things, miniature things
The ability to cut to the heart of a matter.

If there was one good nickname for me, what would it be?
I love these:
Farty McFartison
Mick
Nuts
Poopie
Mishi

If you and I were stranded on a desert island, what one thing would I bring?
Michelle E. got it in one: a washing machine.
But your answers are not far off at all: your knitting (it's crochet! And did you know I am a member of the Crochet Guild of America?)
Hopefully a cell phone
A cooler filled with sweetened ice tea.
Something to beat me with

If I had a million dollars (orig. post: 8/15/02)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Yes, I am now 30 years old. Let me tell you my theory of the early decades. Iconsider the 20s my freshman year: time to make themistakes and learn to walk. The 30s are going to bemy sophomore year: I know how to talk the talk andwalk the walk. So all in all, it's a good time. During my 40s I hope to spend as my junior yearsabroad, either physically or mentally. My senioryears will be 50s and I think by the time I am 60, Iwill be ready to graduate.

*****************************

Yes, early on this day in 1972, my mother walked tothe Roosevelt Hospital emergency entrance, and withthe little English she had, intimated that she was inlabor. Soon after, I was born (I started to come outwhile they were getting her on the stretcher)!!! Today is also the Feast of the Assumption (Catholic):The Feast of the Assumption is an important day in theCatholic religion. It is the principal feast of theBlessed Virgin, the mother of Jesus Christ. This feastcommemorates two events - the departure of Mary fromthis life and the assumption of her body into heaven. And it is also Korea's Liberation Day. With theofficial surrender of Japan to the Allied forces onAugust 15, 1945, the 35-year colonization of Korea bythe Japanese came to an end. August 15, 1948 alsomarks the establishment of the Republic of Korea.It's also Congo National Day and India's IndependenceDay.So, all in all, it's a day to celebrate!
