Name Natasha Lee (Here's my Flickr)
But most people call me Tasha, Tash or "Biscuit", plus Ma invents something new every time she calls me
Alias (or the other women in me) Scully, Penny or "seminomad"
If you insist...porn star name Loopy Ta-yi
Barfday January 11
Random paying jobs I've had camp counselor (that's considered random where I come from, poor homies), telemarketer (who was actually using the job to chat with faraway friends for free), singer, playwright (for a tiny theatre company owned by my pals), music critic, autograph-fetcher (feel free to ask if you'd like to know the story)
[Some of you must be wondering, "That's not all! She's hiding her randomness!" no, look closely, it has to be "random" AND "paying"]
One good habit I've picked up this year drink a lot of water, instead of Stella
I speak Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese (with my own funny accent), English and a tad of Deutsch (Bitte langsam!)
Struggling to learn Mexican Spanish (Por favor, repita...)
I wish I spoke Hakka, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian (but I do know a couple words so that I can call my boss names), Italian and French
Playtime Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Raymond Chandler, things to do with detectives, things to do with the FBI (no, not "fat but intelligent"), my gang, new places, dancing around in my boudoir (to those "undanceable" numbers as well), singing my way home, parks, concerts, theaters, record stores, book shops, baseball games, making people confused, putting ink on paper and my hands (at times, other people's hands too), beautiful strangers, photographs, interesting questions, chance matchmaking, reading papers to myself like I'm Connie Chung or Diane Sawyer, people who make me laugh, random knowledge (esp. regarding films and music), pretending to be witty, films, Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett, Woody Allen, comedy albums, sitcom's (I have to add this 'cause it's a bit painfully obvious)
One little thing you've probably noticed... Yes, music. Listening, writing, playing, sharing, gushing over...anything to do with it. I tried to make it more specific and detailed, but I can't. Don't believe in any specific school, but look up to many music giants. I'm quite sure you don't want me to get started.
The one artist I hope to see live before I have to go Bob Dylan
...Okay, and Paul Simon (I'll leave it at that, 'cause I really should stop gushing)
(Please spare me those desert island questions, I dread to think about that and my head hurts everytime I do that)
The person I secretly believe, once introduced, would be my best friend Fiona Apple (I'm not as melancholy, and I'll make her smile)
The woman I truly admire and think of a lot when I stumble to write Suzanne Vega
The one maniac I wish I could get to meet Friedrich Nietzsche
Top 5 destinations my feet wish they were located now Mexico City, Venice, Amsterdam, Beijing, Chicago (as of April 19, 2004) (Note on Sep. 12, 2004: Mexico City seems so dangerous now. But I still want to visit someday. Right now the top 5 are: Sydney, Amsterdam, Chicago, Glasgow, Cairo)
Useless at politics, aquatic sports, cooking, running this blog
Clueless about culinary art (I do enjoy food though!), maths
Favorite girl's names Andrea, Isabel, Lucinda, Elyse
Favorite thing to hear before sleep "Good night, sweet girl" or "You just hit the jackpot, no work ever again!"
If you're not feeling sick yet...
11 random things about Tash (updated at, certainly, random times)
1. I'm unbelievably lazy (or sometimes, I romanticize it and call myself "dreamy", which only draws even more mocking)
2. My bed is a good friend of mine - that's me saying, I'm obviously not a morning person.
3. I don't like moths, snakes, spiders and labeling people.
4. I had been in a car accident in the middle of nowhere.
5. I keep my passport in my bag.
6. I don't smoke cigarettes or cigars.
7. I let the one slip away.

9. I'm going to watch the 5th season final of "Will & Grace" after we're done with this.
10. I'm not cool but usually I'd like to think I am. If I was ever cool, I'd be about as cool as Lester Bangs.
11. I'd like bacon and eggs for breakfast tomorrow. Please.
Another 11 things about me (Updated: Sep. 12, 2004)
1. I hate spam.

5. People have said I look like some people I don't exactly like.
6. Contrary to common perception, I prefer dogs to cats.
