20 random things about me.

maybe you know some of these already, maybe you didn't. i love reading people's facts about themselves, and getting to know more about someone. their quirks or hidden talents, or just things you may not have learned through their blog or instagram pictures. so, i figured... why not share some facts about myself, that you may not have known.

1. i get mistaken all. the. time. for a high school girl. the age range has been between 15-18, and 18 being on a good day. and, i know that my childlike voice doesn't help this cause. {funny story, to go with this fact: i think i was 18, it was the summer after i graduated high school. my mom and i were getting new cellphones. the guy at the store was showing us different phones, and that one had gps on it, "but she probably doesn't need that, since she doesn't drive yet, right?" my mom was like, "well yes, she drives. and has been for two years, she's 18." yep, you guys, some stories are more embarrassing than others. it's been quite humorous when you go to a bar, and they don't even believe you that you're 21. i guess, i'm just going to age nice and graceful.
2. i guess, to go with the other fact, since they kind of go hand in hand. i have such a high voice, and that doesn't help my case about looking young either. they immediately think i'm like 12, with my face and voice. when i was little, i got nicknamed by my family as 'minnie mouse', because it was so high. i wish i had the answering machine recording my parents used to have for so many years on our home phone. i don't think you could even understand it, because my voice was so high. i mean, i don't think it's as high as it used to be, but i still get comments on how high it is (especially when i'm nervous or shy, it gets even higher). to me, my voice sounds 'deep', but your voice always sounds so different to yourself, especially when you hear it on videos etc. 
3. i'm half asian. my dad was born in thailand. many people don't even know what i am, but some always think i'm mexican.  i guess my mom had some strong genes. i have more american features, than asian.
4. i'm slightly an ocd, control freak, and perfectionist, all bottled up in this little body. i know, right? everything has it's right spot, i have to make lists for everything, and i hate not knowing what's going to happen. it drives grant nuts, completely nuts. 
5. i don't drink soda. at home, i'm almost always drinking propel zero - the grape kind. and if we're out to eat, i'll always get a lemonade. 
6. i never for the life of me could go on a diet. i'm the biggest foodie for life. i love the way food tastes, and i think about food a lot. props to all the people that can go on diets, and have such self control, but that's something i completely lack. no. self. control. whatsoever. 
7. i play with my fingers. just kind of like rubbing my cuticles, and sides of my finger nails. it's weird, i know. worst habit i could have ever gotten myself into, and my mom despises it. it's one of those nervous habits, that turned into a habit that i don't even know when i'm doing it half of the time. 
8. my nails are always painted. always. very seldom are they just plain. if they are plain, i probably picked the nailpolish off, which is another bad habit of mine. when one is chipped, then i will make my way to picking them all  off. yep, grant hates me for this one, too. 
9. i rarely call grant by his first name, only when  i'm mad at him or want to get his attention. he's always 'G', 'GG', 'boody', or 'bood'. the last two nicknames just came. i made them up years and years ago, and they stuck. don't even ask, i'm not even sure. 
10. i'm a pretty sensitive person, but i tend to hide it. i'm pretty good at masking my feelings with a smile. and if you hurt my feelings, there's usually only one chance and then it's done. i don't play games. 
11. i never wear makeup, unless it's a special event. like, i'm almost 22 years old, and i know very little about makeup. is that pathetic? probably. i watch beauty gurus on  youtube, but don't do my own makeup. 
12. i'm the most sarcastic person you probably will ever meet. 
13. i think in my past life: i was a black, ghetto girl. and that in this life, no one gave me the memo that i'm far from that. i listen to rap music, dance like a ghetto girl, and probably wish i lived that lifestyle, which it's just not what's real life, at all. 
14. it irks me that people can't spell my name right or pronounce it. never did i think sydney was such a hard name to spell, or even pronounce. no, my name isn't spelled like this: syndey, cydney, syney, sidney, or sydne. nothing against any that have their name spelled like that. and no, please just don't even pronounce it 'cindy'. i even slowly say it for everyone, when they ask. syd-knee. "oh cindy!" no, just stop.
15. i may  have some of the thickest hair and lots of it. it's super coarse from being oriental, but i got the thickness and lots of it, from my mama. i don't think i'll ever go bald.
16. i make any awkward situation or moment, less awkward. usually. 
17. very rarely am i shy, unless i'm first meeting someone or just don't like the situation i am in. it'll take me a few minutes to feel the person out, and then i'll just open up. and then, i'm quirky, and you can't get me to shut up.
18. i never stop talking. or moving. or dancing. 
19. if there were lip syncing competitions  i'd fricken dominate. hands down. just ask anyone that knows me. i rock that. 
20. i hate when you have something big up your sleeve, and just want to let it out. that's what grant and i are like right now. we have something up our sleeves, and just want to burst it out!

i hope you learned some interesting facts about me. i don't know, maybe these were obvious, who knows. if so, i'll try better next time. you win some, and you lose some, ya know?

xoxo!
