Alex Sarmiento
I don't do Twatter. The following is a list of things that you should know about ME: 01) There is a possibility that I may have Asperger's syndrome. 02) I hate living in Vallejo, California. 03) I am always on the lookout for a job, or at least a well-paying gig. 04) I am not as connected to my family as other Filipinos. 05) I enjoy pasta, sometimes too much for my own good. 06) I am fluent in English, and my French and Italian are rusty but competent. 07) I don't have a car. I don't even have a driver's license. I don't even know how to drive. 08) Maybe I do come off as negative a lot, but it's hard to be positive, especially in this day and age. 09) I don't do drugs. 10) I am not here to fulfill your rice queen fantasies. 11) Sometimes, I get tired of explaining myself and other things to other people and just wish that they figured it out their damn selves or at least looked it up on Google or Wikipedia. 12) I tend to keep grudges against people: Vincent Vasquez, Yuri Beckelman, Misty Vandenburgh, etc. I still hate those people. 13) One of my favorite movies is "Mommie Dearest". Sometimes, I wish Christina Crawford had slapped Joan Crawford back. 14) I watch marathons of "America's Next Top Model" just because. 15) I never got a high school yearbook. I never got a high school photo from Lifetouch. I didn't even take the SAT exam because I couldn't afford the fee. Why the hell is there even a fee for the SAT? Why pay for something that is only to make colleges piss their pants in excitement? I would have liked to have taken the SAT, but in all truth, getting a 1600 is not that important. Still, it's a high school tradition, and I'm sad that I missed out on it. 16) Whenever there's a family gathering, I tend to keep to myself in my room. Not only is it my comfort zone, I'm not good at mixing with other people. Even people that I don't know. 17) "Panini" is plural. "Panino" is singular. Get it right, or I'll slap you into pieces. "Paninos" are acceptable, but just. 18) I like diet sodas in bottle form. In can form, I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke. 19) I have the right to be angry. (So says Pat Benatar in her 1985 hit "Invincible", which was the theme to The Legend of Billie Jean.) 20) I get compared to other Asian-Americans who are more subservient to elders, who play the piano, who basically live up to America's Model Minority myth. I wish I didn't. 21) I realize that I drive people away. I'm sorry. 22) I don't like insects. 23) I miss living in San Francisco. 24) Though I have some attachment to Vallejo, it does not dilute the fact that Vallejo is the worst city in all of California. What exactly is there? 25) I believe in having a moral and ethical core. I just don't believe that you have to go to church or synagogue or mosque or a temple to find it. 26) Straight white Judeo-Christian men in positions of power and privilege scare the hell out of me. 27) The size of my private parts is none of your business. 28) Finally, my name is Alexander Sarmiento.
