Hi, nice to meet you.

So I googled around to find a survey template I like, but I couldn't find any. Instead, I'm forced to be creative and talk about myself. I think I'm going to try to make a list of things about myself as they come to my mind.

Here we go.

1. I really like my name. I always have, and I probably always will.

2. But I'm not going to reveal my name here.

3. I'm paranoid. (See above)

4. I am a Christian. I try to live by the word of God but be as open-minded as possible. I hate the stereotype of narrow-minded, judgmental Christians, because that's not what Christianity is about. I will probably blog about this topic at some point.

5. Yellow is my favorite color. I love bright, warm, sunshine yellow! It makes me happy. :)

6. I'm Korean. I moved to the States six years ago.

7. I love flowers. My favorites are sunflowers, orchids, and tulips.

8. I really adore beautiful things, whether it be a person, an object, words, paintings, actions, or anything, really. Beauty is something I'm very interested in and I will probably blog about this a lot. I've been trying to find the societal definition of beauty and somehow come up with my own definition.

9. Speaking of beauty, that is one of the biggest reason I wanted to blog. There are so many makeup/beauty blogs out there, and I wanted a place to talk about the essence of beauty. What being beautiful really means.

10. Oh yeah, I'm still in high school. Junior, actually. So I'm still pretty young.

11. I love history. The more we know about it, the more idea we'll have as to where we're going.

12. I've been richly blessed with loving, yet firm, parents, supportive family, and amazing friends. Overall, I live a very happy life. :)

13. Talking about people in my life, I have an amazing and amazingly nerdy boyfriend. This makes me sound like such a typical teenage girl, but dating him has really helped me grow as a person and I definitely owe him big time. Our one-year is almost coming up! I love you, chou. :)

14. As you might have guessed, I'm a nerd. It is my firm belief that more nerds = better world. :P But I'm not the nerd archetype. I can't play videogames to save my life and I actually have a pretty active social life. It's just that my interests aren't exactly too similar to other high school junior girls.

15. I feel like this list is getting too long.

16. John Steinbeck is my favorite author... which is slightly ironic, because his beliefs are nothing like mine. He had a very man-centered view of the world. :P

17. I love music. I mainly play the clarinet and piano with other little (?) instruments like ocarina and recorder. I also love to sing.

18. Reading and writing are one of my favorite hobbies. You'll never catch me without a pen and paper. I write whenever I'm not doing anything else, haha. And it's not like I write stories, either. I just like writing down words that come to my mind.

19. I. love. cotton candy. a lot.

20. I don't drink pop. I love water. And tea. Asian tea. Like green tea and jasmine tea and oolong tea and barley tea and chrysanthemum tea and all that good stuff. Without sugar. :P

I'm going to end the list here. :) This was a lot longer than I thought it would. This is obvioustly a very fragmented picture of me, but hopefully I'll be able to portray myself more holistically as I keep up with this blog.

And now... I'm off to bed! +-+ bed sweet bed...
