Wearing my heart under my sleeve

The lovely Lace and Berries has tagged me with The Versatile Blogger award. With this, I give you 7 random facts about me and one post dedicated to an accessory relating to my background.  In between the photos, you'll find the 7 facts about me.

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but in every one of my pictures, I'm wearing a silver bracelet.  This bracelet was given to me by my grandma last year, and I haven't taken it off since.  The story goes that this bracelet was made from some of the first coins that my great grandfather made when he first came to the United States.  With those coins, he sent them back to Hong Kong to have them made into a bracelet.  So in short, the coins are made from a few American dimes ranging from 1931-1944.  I like keeping my heritage on me always.  It serves as a constant reminder of my familial ties and of what hard work can do.

1.  I have mild face blindness. I don't recognize people I know by their face- I have to use other cues like their clothes, hair, the setting I associate them with, their voice, height, etc.

 

2.  My eyes are asymmetrical- it's a pain to put on eyeliner!

 3.  I'm an emotional eater- happiness, sadness, boredom, sleepiness, stress, and tranquility are all emotions.

 4.  I can't play boardgames with others because I easily get annoyed at their lack of competition.  I'm much more likely to play with my family where we all have basically the same competitive edge & trivial knowledge (for games like Cranium).

 5.  I still get a little scared when I have to go down to the basement alone.

 6.  If you call me while I'm watching Grey's Anatomy, I won't answer the phone.

7.  I have photographic memory.  During an exam, I'm actually able to "flip" through pages of notes that I can see in my mind.



I pass this award along to:
-These bones are mine
-Try it on me
-Maycie after five

I look forward to seeing all of your facts about yourself!
And thanks again to Kristie of Lace and Berries!
