its these 4 things that got me trippin...

My Story (stolen from Suji, Sunu, and Lisa)

My Story
Hi, my name is: nina

but you can call me: nina, maybe if you are close to me, nin

Never in my life have I: been more motivated to be a better person

The one person who can drive me nuts is: alot of people do this to me, is that wrong??

My high school is: still there? it was good times at the time, not something i'd want to redo or anything!

When I’m nervous: i bite my nails, feel sick, hide out under the covers

The last song I listened to was: "cant buy me love" by the immortal beatles

If I were to get married right now it would be to: no one, im not big into polygamy and i don't think my husband would approve either.

My hair is: in a literal knot on the top of my head

When I was 4: i was so cute.... seriously, ask my parents for pictures, they have the proof!!

Last Christmas: was very busy but a blessed season.

I should be: working

When I look down I see: my desk

The happiest recent event was: celebrating my birthday with my closest family and friends basically all week!!

If I were a character on ‘Friends’ : i think ross/chandler hybrid

By this time next year: i hope to be at least pregnant!!

My current gripe is: i agree with the lineup on nick at nite stinking bigtime! and with the quality dept at work not understanding how to do their jobs.

I have a hard time understanding: arrogance when you cannot back yourself up with anything substantial and people who are not humble for the things that they are fortunate to have.

There’s these girls: that are my world and i'm lucky to call them family/friends!

If I won an award, the first person I would tell would be: my mommy/toby- whoever picked up the phone first!

I want to buy: a new car/house/ new white coat.... not necessarily in that order!

Where do you plan to visit: nyc this weekend?? not definite yet.

If you spent the night at my house: you'd wonder if the cats ever sleep and if they will let you sleep in peace

The world could do without: hatred and possibly guns.

Most recent thing I’ve bought myself: few items to expand my wardrobe (don't tell toby!)

Most recent thing someone else bought me: a new camera, case for said camera, liquor, a computer, and some lotions/perfume sets (Christmas and my bday just passed!)

My middle name is:...kovoor!! hahaha i had to stop myself from typing thomas(ina)

In the morning I: hit snooze numerous times before i realize im 20 mins late for work already

Last night I was: having dinner at my in laws house

There’s this guy I know who: makes me feel like the most special person in the world

If I was an animal I’d be a: elephant

A better name for me would be:...i actually really love my first name. id never change it nor have i wanted to.

Tomorrow I am: hopefully going to see zoebaby and the girls.

Tonight I am: studying! ackkkkk!!

My birthday is: next year, the big 30, ask toby about big fun party details!!!

the surveys are back!
