Method of procrastination today : Stanley Cup Finals (Ducks vs. Ottowa Senators)
I love watching hockey....Like a typical girl, I don't know much about this sport (wtf is a powerplay?), but I'm just drawn to watching these guys somehow play a sport with amazing athleticism while constatly pounding each other. Each time there is a fight, I start thinking yes, Yes! YES! and I don't have to feel guilty about it cause that's part of the game! Sigh, contact sports.

In other news, I will finally answer the questions posed by hopeandharmony :
1. We've all heard about the neighbor who stole your parking space in the driveway. (Grrr...) Please tell us about a positive experience you've had since moving into your neighborhood.
One cool thing I discovered was when I was tutoring at Temple Intermediate. My tutee (sp?) was talking about his three dogs two of which were chows I thought to myself, hey, my back neighbor has two chows (and some other dog). Turned out he's our behind the wall neighbor. Cool little things like that happen pretty often when you live in the neighborhood in which you serve.
2. What is a passion of yours (besides Star Wars)?
Besides Star Wars? (j/k) Well, I honestly love my job, but I'll talk about that later. My sincere passion is my relationship with God. I hope my life reflects the joy and love of God, and my character that of Jesus.
3. Most rewarding experience in the ER?
I love it when the ER is at its best, someone comes in with a problem, and we fix it. In the ER, I do EKGs (heart rythm reading) which shows if someone is having a heart attack instantly. If we get that reading, we activate what we call a code STEMI where everyone in the ER comes together to make sure the patient is getting everything he or she needs (blood tests, medication) before going to surgery. Our avering time from door to surgery is less than 90mins.
Being a part of this team is always rewarding when everything gets done right and fast.
4. What was your most recent purchase as part of the higakichan fashion makeover?
If it was up to me, my wardrobe would consist soley of cargo pants, cargo shorts, comfy tee shirts, tank tops, and sweaters (and scrubs for work). Luckily, I've had a few roomates with more fashion sense than me, including Higakichan. Most recent purchase was a pair of tan capri shorts and a summery shirt.
5. What is your favorite place in L.A. that I probably have not yet discovered?
UCLA! Haha, really though, I love gardens. I love the Getty, the Huntington and the LA Arboreatum in Arcadia. There are some pretty cool hiking trails in the nearby San Gabriel mountains that Eldwin and Christina Truong introduced me to.
One of my favorite night spots is actually in the OC, a jazz club called Steamers in Fullerton. No cover on weekdays, reasonably priced food, and cool artists are some highlights. Poncho Sanchez, a latin jazz star, is a frequent player and always fun to go see.
Let me know if you'd like some questions : )
