98. I have a tattoo on my right arm – the Japanese symbol for “endurance.”
97. I really, really want to get a second tattoo.

89. I believe in soul mates and
everything happens for a reason.
88. I am a cervical cancer survivor.

85. I was named after Katharine Hepburn.
84. I hate talking on the phone – I’d much rather text or gchat.
83. I participated in my very first (and very last) photo shoot in April 2009 at Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. It was for an HPV advertorial that was published in
Glamour and
Shape magazines in 2009.
82. I love cooking. In my next life, I want to come back as a professional chef.

78. I never leave my house without my keys, crackberry and chapstick.

72. I’ve met a few bloggers in real life and I have to admit, they are
awesome.
71. I’m slightly obsessed with post-it-notes. I use them every day at work and I have them all over my desk.
70. I never thought I’d end up in Philadelphia after college. In fact, I told myself I

69. My brothers are the two most important people in my life and I would do
anything for them.

66. I’d rather watch sports and drink beers with the boys than go shopping with the girls.
65. I’m a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Panthers fan and I wouldn’t have it any other way. City of Champions, bitches.

EVERY DAY. Maybe that’s why I’m an alcoholic. And maybe that’s why my liver hates me.
57. My first trip to Vegas I got propositioned for a threesome and mistaken for a prostitute. Ironic that it was the best. trip. ever? Yes.
56. I was ranked the #7th best hurdler in Pennsylvania my senior year of high school. I was also ranked #14th best triple-jumper in Pennsylvania. I probably could have competed on the collegiate level if I wanted to, but instead I chose a then-relationship and and education over playing sports. Looking back on it now, I completely regret that decision.
55. I really want to become fluent in Korean.
54. I want to find my birth parents when I visit Korea, but I’m afraid of being rejected by them. They gave me up for a reason, afterall.
53. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 20, right after my mother passed away. Six years later and I sometimes still struggle with it.
52. I love amusement parks and roller coasters. Kennywood’s got nothing on Six Flags.
51. I don’t really like the [dirty] Jersey Shore. I wish I lived closer to the Carolina’s where the real beaches are.
