My name Sha Sha was given to me by my brother when I was a baby because of the "Sha" sound in Patricia. Interestingly enough, my parents almost named me Alicia, in which case I would still be Sha Sha. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.	Who am I? Who indeed... It was a cold March night many years ago, and the rain was pouring down. The icy wind bit into the cheeks of those unlucky few who were left walking down the dark streets. Hands were thrust into pockets, collars pulled up, and scarves tied just a little bit tighter. The... Oookay. That's obviously not working, so we'll do this the easy way. Name: Patricia Chu What people actually call me: Sha Sha, Sha, Sha Chu, Sha Bond, Stupid, Fatty, Numbskull, You're Stepping On My Foot. Location: Depending on the day, Albuquerque, NM, Stanford, CA, or Washington, D.C. Education: Sandia Base Elementary, Albuquerque Academy, Stanford University, and that great big classroom I call Life. I just graduated from Stanford with a BS in Computer Science, and if all goes well, I'll be receiving an MS in CS next June. Pets: Used to be three dogs, Mikey, Wendy, and Thunder, but now only Wendy is left. Hobbies: Playing video games, drawing, reading comic books, playing guitar, buying way too many CDs, skateboarding, memorizing useless facts, being a general annoyance and waste of space and precious oxygen. Instruments I have played (or "played") publicly: Violin, piano, clarinet, guitar, electric bass, marimba, cardboard boxes and glass bottles. Talents: Violin, making bird noises (although I seem to have lost this talent...stupid teeth), crossing one eye, being a general annoyance and waste of space. Talents I wish I had: Photography, drawing, martial arts, skateboarding, spelling. Things I think I would be good at for no particular reason: Bartending, trick bike riding. (Non-classical) Artists I have in my CD collection: Pearl Jam, U2, Eminem, Pink, Jeff Buckley, Insane Clown Posse, The Doors, Outkast, Madonna, Barenaked Ladies, Beastie Boys, Garbage, Bela Fleck, 311, Live, and many many more. Artists I will never have in my CD collection: Third Eye Blind, Enrique Iglesias, Robbie Williams, and many more. Words I like: swanky, jowls, monkey, swarthy, stoopid. Words I don't like: Composite words like "mockumentary", "rockumentary", "esurance", "epinion", "ecoustic", etc., proactive, blog. Things that are scary: The Sixth Sense, porcelain dolls, the ocean, mean people. Things I would like to do before I die: Visit Australia, climb a mountain (not Everest big, but maybe more like Kilamanjaro), learn a martial art, ollie. Things my mom has said about me: "You'll make a good cook because you're not careful.", "You're one of those people who is good at working, but not so good at school.", "You're so weird."
