Did y’all ever play that game in grade school?
Once again, I’ve been tagged! Sam tagged me, so now it’s time to learn 5 more things about your friendly neighborhood chocolate-covered vegan. (Well, really only four, since one of the “facts” is a lie.) It is really getting difficult to think of new facts, as I’ve already done FIVE of these surveys since the inception of this blog. Still, I’m up for the challenge!
1) I use chopsticks for almost everything I eat. Growing up in Japan, I learned to eat with chopsticks before learning to use a fork! (Yes, I do now know how to use a fork. But I still prefer chopsticks.)
2) I have a super-happy disposition. Fittingly, I went through a stage during my middle school years where any time I saw something with a smiley face, I bought it. I still have quite an extensive smiley-face collection. Check out my cereal bowl :).
3) I’m on first-name terms with Brad and Angelina…
Alright, fine, so this is the lie. They’re made of wax.
But I don’t need you, Brad Pitt! My real friends are more fun anyway!
4) I am a huge sports fan, especially of hockey. Go Dallas Stars!
5) I love chocolate! (That one was lame… but I couldn’t think of anything else!)
If, by any chance, there is someone out in the blogosphere who has managed to not do this survey yet, I tag YOU!

When I was growing up my parents had a super-cute smiley face cookie jar which I just loved. It’s still at there place…I should try to swipe it to put vegan cookies inside!

Cute facts! I can’t use chopsticks at all 🙁

Ohhh, I just bought chopsticks at IKEA because I really really really want to learn to eat with them. I can’t seem to figure it out. But my boyfriends best childhood friend was asian and he learned to handle chopsticks at his house and now he made it his task to teach me =p
That wax figure pic reminded me of my trip to the wax museum in Amsterdam. I think I’m hugging Boy George and Bob Marley =p

Awwwwww thank you so so much for your really kind compliment. As for your question, people who have known me for a while (family and close friends) know that this is just the way I am. They see me eating and not worrying about food, so they know I am ok. And my family has the added benefit of knowing that the doctor says I am healthy too. But yeah, other people who don’t know me too well express concerns about my weight ALL THE TIME! If my mom’s with me, she’ll put their fears to rest by telling them that both she and my grandmother were the same way when they were growing up. (My grandmother is STILL a beanpole, and she can really chow down hehe.) Sometimes it can be embarrassing because I know that people are looking at me and thinking, “She definitely has anorexia.” But it’s funny to watch their expressions immediately change if they see how I can eat!

Chopsticks are cool. Although I’m a Brit, many years living on the continent have got me using my fork with the right hand. With you totally in your love of chocolate.

That’s so cool that you grew up in Japan, how old were you when you lived there? I always like to use chopsticks when I eat chinese food (it makes it more fun I guess).
I love your #5! Might explain the name of your blog, eh?
