Still here.

I was tagged.


1.I love love love The Gilmore Girls. I watch it everyday at 6pm. I wish Lorelai was my friend.

2.I used to have buffet brunch at Bob's Big Boy w/ my family almost every weekend growing up.

3. My dad would sometimes wake me and my bro up when we were kids and take us to Winchell's donuts. I would always fall asleep thinking " is tonight going to be the night?"

4. I love the feeling of new socks, would eat all the rest of my meals from a bowl, love bendy straws and would write forever w/ a Sharpie pen if it didn't seep through the page.

5. I knew the Sound of Music by heart when i was 5 and thought everyone else did too.

6. My dad is the most cultured person I know

7. My mom and aunts are like the Persian Martha Stewarts.

8. I can make fancy meals, but can't manage to pull off simple things like; boiling eggs, making omlettes or making Mac'n'Cheese.

9.I am in a BIG- French/Shabby Chic/vintage home decorating phase.

10. I have recently taken to reading all magazines back to front.

11.My husband tells the best stories and cracks me up constantly.

12. I wish I didn't care about the rules and was more like Naysan in that regard. He's definitely the rebel of the family.

13. I was terribly shy as a kid, I basically was mute till the 7th grade.

14. I miss going to Heritage Park Pool in Irvine w/ my bro, Hoda and Homer for 25 cents.

15. The summer Wild Rivers (water park) opened, all of the cousins got season passes, it was cheaper than finding any other form of child care. I still remember the ground being sticky from all the sugar that would fall off the Churro's that they sold there.

16. From March 2008 til August 2008 I was ADDICTED to playing Quinn ( TETRIS). I think my sis-in-law and brother were about ready to stage a serious intervention.

17. I have a feeling my DNA was programed to not let me understand any form of mathematics higher than division. But ironically enough I've worked in Accounting Offices in the past and have been really good at the job.

18. Some days I really want kids and then other days the thought of having kids and being responsible for another human being makes me want to throw up a little bit.

19. I love that Fouzieh loves tv as much as me, and can watch hours and hours of consecutive tv.

20.Before the first time Naysan and I were going to go on our first "date" -I saw him the night before and he said " give Us a call tomorrow" and I thought he had invited another person along. i got upset, and then realized he was just referring to himself in the plural, as almost all Australians do :)

21. I really want to go to Japan, Brazil and Spain.

22. I would do anything to have one more of "Shaadee and Sautra's DAY OF FUN!!" ( it totally was an end of an era!)

23. Laguna Beach is by far my favorite place in Southern California, and don't like how OC has changed since MTV infiltrated our world.

24. I was on ' Crazed Fans from the Red Carpet" on VH1 in 2003. It was at the height of my Brad Pitt obbession, and I swear it was an out-of body experience. i don't know what happened to me.

25. The weekend I spent in Wilmington, NC this past October with my favorite cousin Mitra, was one of the best weekends I've had in years. I miss her.
