This "short" profile will tell you everything you need to know about me and more that you shouldn't know!
- Name: We all know it's KATHY of that "dang" dynasty I always love to talk about (I'm the only one allowed to make those "dang" puns you guys!), but "some people" decided to call me some other things...
- Nicknames,
Dang Variations, and their Mysterious Origins:
- "Pikachu": Beginning of my sophomore year, I always talked about how cool Pokemon was and how adorably cute Pikachu can be. My birthday came around and Liz decided to give me a whole bunch of Pokemon stuff in a Christmas box, which got a lot of people's attention that day. I got over my Pokemon obsession at the end of the school year. But still to this day, when Pokemon is mentioned, all eyes are on me. However, I don't mind the name. People say I'm cute and small just like Pikachu, so I'll take it as a compliment. Hehe.
- "Kathi": I made this one up myself back in the old middle school days. I noticed that Judi spelled her name with an "i" so I thought I should try that out myself. In eighth grade, I wrote my name with an "i" on all my schoolwork. All the teachers were cool with it and didn't say a word, except one teacher. My Yearbook/English teacher must have been terribly confused because he would always ask me if it was an "i" or a "y." To make things easier for everybody, I told him that it was an "i". Hehe. He still writes to me with a Kathy with an "i." Yippity!
- "G-Dawg": This nickname is truly a mystery. All of a sudden one day on the phone, my bro called me "G-Dawg." Since he's been calling me that everyday! I would pester him why he always freaking call me that. But he doesn't even know why calls me that or where it came from, but he loves it! What a nerd!
- "Dr. Dang": Partially inspired by my bro, I like this nickname! To tell you the truth, I stole the idea from him. Hehe. I thought that I'm the right person for the name because everybody loves coming to me for advice! He's out there trying to mimic me by giving out advice too! Watch out you guys! I'm the real Dr. Dang. "Now, will the real Dr. Dang please stand up?" *I stand up and knock bro down with a big grin on my face*
- "Dang": All the guys back in high school called me this annoying name. But the guy that started it all was Scott. He claims that my name is cool and so on, but I think it's just to irritate me! He's been calling me this since sophomore year and everybody else caught on! I don't even remember the last time he called me "Kathy"...
- "Me-Dang": You can tell I just "love" this one. Good 'ol Dennis was trying to learn some Vietnamese and "fortunately," he learned "my~ dden" (African-American), or in his words: "me-dang." I get annoyed when he calls me this, but maybe he's trying to say that I'm the coolest "my~ ddeng" without actually being one!
- "Dang-Chu": Another nickname originated from Dennis. He thought it was cool to combine mine and Bao's last names because it sounded like "thank you." Well, it sounds like "ah choo" to me. Hehe. But "dang-chu" for this nickname though.
- "Wu Dang Wang": Jon thinks that I should join up with Jeremy and his cousin to form the "Wu Dang Wang" clan. Hmmm... Maybe it's because I like to be called DJ Dang sometimes. Hehe. Well, let's rep the east side yo!
- "Bang Dang-Wang": Why did Adam have to come up with this? Hehe. One fateful day in ITGS class, I felt a tap on my shoulders and Adam said, "Hey check this out Kathy! If you married Jeremy Wang, kept your last name and named your kid Bang, his name would be Bang Dang-Wang!" I was hoping to name my kid "Doctor" but I'll keep that in mind.
- "Dang it!": This ancient expression dates back to the dawn of civilization, or when I was in the second grade. The boys said this practically everyday, everytime! I guess they needed a special expression just for me everytime I aced a test or answered a question correctly. Maybe I should take "Dang it!" as a compliment also...
- "Kitty Kathy": Ly got annoyed that I kept calling her "Cup," so she figured that the best way to get back at me is to call me "Kitty Kathy." Hehe.
- "Cherry": Que and Franka have nickname involving fruits, so I wanted one too! Que got to be Kiwi, Franka got to be Mango, and I got to be Cherry!"
- "Baby": Jere calls me this all the time! He just won't stop babying me! Ever!
- Birthday: I can't believe I'm 19 now! I have less than a year to be a teenager! Once I turn 20, I'm going to be too old to mack on high school boys! Oh the pain! Hehe. So, once again, PLEASE forget that my birthday is on NOVEMBER 1!
- Birthplace: New Orleans. I haven't been there in years! I miss the "all you can eat crawfish" fests at people's houses and the bridges that scare the heck out of me!
- Location: St. Petersburg/Gainesville. Gainesville is great! I have my own place and have parties practically every weekend! A lot of drinking isn't involved, but card playing is... Hehe.
- Educational Institute: University of Florida, College of Engineering. Everybody make it seems like engineering is some tough stuff. Well, I'm here to prove them wrong. Haha!
- Favorite Subject: Math. When I was younger, I seriously thought that everybody loved math. So I would say some crazy things like "I like math, don't you?" Hehe.
- Favorite Food: I love pho! Second favorite is lo mein. But I also love bun rieu and sua dau nanh! How am I going to survive college without my favorite foods??
- Favorite Day: Fridays are the best! I never know the difference between Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays when I don't keep track of dates, but I always know when Friday comes around. I think I have a "Friday Radar" ingrained in my brain!
- Favorite Holiday: Christmas and Vietnamese New Year are the best holidays because I get gifts! This year, just give me money. I'll take any money. I need to feed my stomach when I'm away from home! Yeap, any gift-giving holiday is cool with me!
- Favorite TV Shows: Currently, I don't watch TV. I only use the TV to play video games!
- Favorite Color: Blue. Any kind of blue! Blue with green! Blue with violet! Blue with white! Blue with blue! I don't see why blue is a depressing color. Blue makes me happy!
- Favorite Board Game: Monopoly! It's a wonderful game for all ages to teach about greed and capitalism! Future business leaders of America, master this game!
- Where do I see myself (or want to see myself) in 10 years?: Making mad money by being a computer engineer for Google! Hopefully, I'll have a PhD and make super mad money and retire at an early age! Watch out for Dr. Dang to blow up!
- The Guy I'm Looking For: I did find someone special, but things didn't turn out the way we wanted it to be. So, I'm back to being "single" Kathy again. Anyway, the guy I'm looking for doesn't have to be super special or anything, but has to be awesome! Hehe.
