    I think I've read this somewhere before but it must have been the older version. I agree with most of them but not all of them apply.

    what about this one:
    Reusing large jam jars to store herbs in?

    I've never seen anyone reuse large jars to store herbs.
    But I've seen people use big azz pickle jars to store those homemade wine with all various animals parts and herbs know to man.

    1. You were/are a good student with very high GPAs.
    I always had a fairly good GPA, but I was never a "good student." I skipped class, didn't do my homework half the time, and slept instead of paying attention to lecture.
    2. You majored in something practical like engineering, medicine or finance
    Business Administration and Film Production.
    3. You have more than one-college degree, especially more than one Master's.
    Sure.
    4. If you play a musical instrument, it must be piano
    Guitar, actually.
    5. You have a vinyl table cloth on your kitchen table.
    How ugly.
    6. Your stove is covered with aluminum foil.
    See above.
    7. Your kitchen has a sticky film of grease over it.
    Nope.
    8. You beat eggs with chopsticks.
    I beat eggs with an egg-beater. Usually works better that way.
    9. You always leave outdoor shoes at the door
    Nope. Though I don't usually wear shoes in the house.
    10. You use the dishwasher as a dish rack. You keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times.
    No hot water. I use two dishwashers in conjunction, so one of them is a dish rack.

    Chill, actually.
    13. You eat all meals in the kitchen to keep your dining room clean.
    Rather not.
    14. You don't use measuring cups when preparing foods.
    Measuring cups have saved my life, maybe literally.
    15. You save grocery bags and use them to hold garbage.
    That's what garbage bags are for.
    16. You have a rice cooker.
    Sure do.
    17. You're a wok user.
    Err?
    18. You fight over who pays the dinner bill.
    Not a chance.
    19. You wash rice 2-3 times before cooking it.
    No way.
    20. You make sounds when you have a bowl of soup
    Definitely not. And I hate it when other people do.
    21. You don't dry-clean clothes, even if they need to be dry-cleaned.
    My dry cleaner knows my name.
    22. You iron your own shirts
    Hell no, I'm afraid of that thing.
    23. You like congee with thousand year old eggs.
    Err?
    24. You always cook yourself, even if you hate it.
    I always go out for food is more like it.
    25. You use credit cards, and pay monthly bills in full
    AmEx is a charge card.
    26. You do either soccer, swimming, badminton,volleyball, basketball, or ping pong, and have an obsession with making the Beijing Olympics
    Basketball, yes, but it's not as cool as football. And no Olympic aspirations.
    27. You buy Christmas cards after Christmas, when they are 50ff.
    What's the point of that?
    28. When you hand wash dishes, you only use cold water.
    Warm water is the way to go.
    29. You hate to waste food a) Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them.You have Tupperware in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chicken wing.
    I hate leftovers, so no.
    30. You don't own any real Tupperware-only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, takeout containers, and jam jars.
    Are you kidding? I'm Glad's biggest sponsor.
    32. When toilet paper is on sale, you buy 100 rolls and store them.
    The toilet paper I use never seems to go on sale.
    33. You have a collection of miniature shampoo/conditioner bottles and little soap bars that you take every time you stay in a hotel
    No way.

    Nope.
    35. You carry a stash of your own food whenever you travel (and travel means any car ride longer than 15 minutes
    Never.
    36. You spit bones and other food scraps on the table
    No.
    37. Your dad thinks he can fix everything himself.
    My dad gets help for everything.
    38. When you go to a dance party, there is always a group of guys surrounding the dance floor trying to look cool.
    Err?
    39. Your house/apartment is always cold in winter, and hot in summer.
    My house seems to retain the same temperature year round.
    40. Your Mom drives her Mercedes to Foodtown, or Shoppers Food Warehouse regardless how far it is, even if the dairy is next door.
    My mom doesn't drive a Mercedes, and I've never even heard of those stores.
    41. You always look phone numbers up in the phone book, since calling Directory Assistance costs 50 cents
    I don't even think I have a phone book in my house.
    42. You only make long distance calls after 11pm or during weekends
    I have an unlimited cell plan.
    43. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached.
    No, just more work for me.
    44. You never call your parents just to say hi
    I don't really call my parents. I just go as long as I can before they call me and are like, "WTF?"
    45. You think ONLY Japanese can make good CARS!
    I think the McLaren F1 is the best car ever.
    46. You use a colored face cloth every morning.
    What's wrong with your hands?
    47. You starve yourself before going to all-you-can-eat places.
    Actually, I find that every time I wind up in a buffet, I had inconveniently eaten something just before.
    48. Almost all your money is in a savings account
    That's stupid. My portfolio says hi.
    49. You never discuss your love life with your parents.
    Nope, but they always seem to find out anyway.
    AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

    50. You take this message post it in your own blog for all your Azn friends to see.
    I don't have a blog.
    I guess I'm not very Asian. 3.5/50 by my count.

    Stereotypical, and I don't fit lots of those descriptions.

    24. You always cook yourself, even if you hate it.
    Cook myself? Who's going to take care of the fire then?

    Counting the Tupperware one and the somewhat true one's as halves, I'm 18.5/50.

    However, many of these won't really apply to me until about ten or fifteen years later.

    Here's my own top 5 items to know when you're Mainland Chinese:

    1. You gun down your ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, then kill yourself.

    2. You spend all your effort tracking down a Pro-Tibet poster on the internet, planning to murder his entire family.

    3. When someone accidentally steps on your foot at a bus stop, you follow him to his home and stab him to death.

    4. You think China is the best thing since sliced tofu, much better than US and the industrialized countries.

    5. You think Hitler is a great man.
