"A 30-year mortgage at Michael's age essentially means that he's buying a coffin. If I were buying my coffin, I would get one with thicker walls so you couldn't hear the other dead people." --Dwight K. Schrute
[Basic] Classified Information Revealed
My name is Diane. Just think of it simply as "Die, Ann." Since you're thinking of my name like this, you should ask yourself these [paranoid] questions: What happened in the events of your parents' lives that made them give you this name? Did your parents want to carry on a haunting memory through their offspring? Who the hell is Ann?- My parents just thought that "Diane" was a pretty name, so they gave me that name. The other choices were Susan and Jennifer. As for the questions I gave you, those are to be answered by your creativity, whether it is simple and sweet or grotesque and eerie.
I go by the alias "Nugget." Someone gave me this nickname a few years ago when their tongue couldn't pronounce my last name correctly.
My nationality is Vietnamese. I think that I am approximately 25% Chinese, but I don't know if that side of me is Cantonese or Mandarin.
My natural hair color and eye color are dark brown. My hair is also naturally straight, as shown in the photo above. I don't think I'll ever need a straightener unless I get a perm and become tired of it too quickly.
Childhood
My birthdate is November 2, 1995. I was born to an [older] couple who were striving for a child. I came after a miscarriage, and the gender was unknown. After my birth, my mother tried to get pregnant again--she and my Vietnam War veteran father wanted to have more than one child. Another miscarriage happened. The doctor suggested that Mom and Dad shouldn't try anymore, due to the coldness in the "baby factory."Now that she realized that I would be an only child, Mom put a lot of effort into raising me. She taught me how to write, draw, and distinguish between different kinds of fruits in the kitchen. She and Dad worried about me a lot, and even sent me to a private school from age 2 to 10.
- I didn't have any close friends during my time at a K-8 (kindergarden to eighth grade) Seventh-Day Adventist school. Sure, I had friends, but I never recall them as being my best friends. I still remain in contact with one of them, and sometimes I get friend requests on Facebook from old classmates.
- After those long years of being enrolled at a private school, my parents wanted some change, mainly because of the horrible education over there. I transferred into the public school system. I acted like it wasn't a big deal. It was a little hard to make friends, but then the year after I was able to create friendships with several people. I finally had close friends, and still do.
Teenage years (now)
I attend high school, and part of the graduating class of 2013. For those who are not American, high schools in the U.S. are usually grades 9-12. The ages are generally 14-17 or 15-18.
I've always had an adoration for chickens since I was 9 or 10. It wasn't until I was 12 that the switch turned on my obsession for them. This switched turned on spontaneously. I was a random kid, and still am.People have always asked me how I developed this [unhealthy] love for chickens. They expected a long story. I exaggerated about it to them, and said, "It's a really long story. I'll tell you later." If your one of those people, well, this is it.
- I have a shrine that's dedicated to the members of Gallus gallus. Click on the photo of one of my statues to see the magicalness of it.
Music
My ablities in music are somewhat mediocre. I haven't played the piano in a couple of years so I must be really bad at it now, especially since I've only ever known the basics. I never really had a passion for piano. It was my mother who wanted me to play it.The only musical instrument that I actually play now is the guitar. My guitar is a 6-string acoustic with steel strings. I've broken a string before because I tuned it so high that the extreme stretch made it break. After several minutes, I was able to replace it by myself.
- The songs that I'm able to play acoustically are: Remembering Sunday - All Time Low, Broken - Seether, Rooftops - Lostprophets, most of Burn Burn - Lostprophets, Last Train Home - Lostprophets, beginning of Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin, and Makeup Smeared Eyes - Automatic Loveletter.
I barely listen to any solo artists. 90-95% of the songs I have are by bands. The genres that I listen to is rock and metal.
- My favorite band is Lostprophets. They have been at the top of my "list" for over a year.
- Other bands that I enjoy listening to are Madina Lake, The Blackout, Guns N' Roses, and Hoobastank.
Television has beared many fruits
I'm a fan of crime dramas and comedies. I don't feel like explaining why I like the shows that I watch, so here's a list of my favorites:- Bones
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer
- Modern Family
- The Office
- Castle
- Law & Order: SVU
- NCIS
Hobbies
I love to draw and paint. So far I've had two sketchbooks and done countless drawings and around 11 paintings. I paint with acrylics. I've tried watercolors before, but it didn't work out too well for me. I still have yet to try out oil paints.Sometimes I have the urge to do some photography, even though I never practice. All of the photos on this page were taken by me.
