9. I actually had to be goalie repeatedly in elementary school soccer games.

10. I would actually vote for Christopher Mark Heben as President, solely upon his good looks. I would betray the Democrats just because he's way better looking than Secretary of State's John Kerry.

24. I am a fashion disaster and a complete clutz.

25. Due to my South Vietnamese Army Colonel  father, I was not allowed to watch cable television, especially MTV, because it was banned. This was actually tragic for me, because I was denied "teenage coolness literacy" at such a "vulnerable stage" in my life.

26. I was once nicknamed "That B*tch" in the U.S. Navy. I did actually have the guts to join at age 17, during the Persian Gulf War, following the Navy's Tailhook Scandal though.

27. I positively adore Christopher Lowell, the interior decorating celebrity and Ms. Jay, from "America's Top Model" show.
