A Snowmandrake Story

About Me

A few words about myself... I wasn't born in the US, but i'm fluent in English. I probably know more proper grammar and vocabulary than most Americans so dont judge me because of my hair. I just graduated from UC Berkeley, I studied Political Economy with emphasis in business. I'm attending the Academy of Art SF for my Masters in Fashion and Knitwear Design.

My personality... extremeley straightforward. don't ask me for my opinions if you really wanted sugarcoated answers, 'cause i'll tell you as things are. I'm extremely ambitious and goal-oriented. I have a sharp business sense and i'm creative. If you're interested in either fashion or business, talk to me =] i love meeting new potential business partners or clients :P I go to school full time and work full time. I do not like people who waste money and live life inefficiently. Steven = extremely busy, so please forgive me for not being able to respond to everyone's questions and comments. I do appreciate them, but I just don't have the time to start messaging back and forth with a lot of people... I come online to add the people who've requested and occasionally respond to interesting messages or comments. Comments are fine... but I usually like messaging through the message option because I don't need everyone on my site to know what conversations I'm having.

The seasons change. people change. i've changed. my life plans anyway! It's not much different from what I had in mind before but everything is pushed back a bit. Meaning I won't be starting my store next year. I want to get my Masters at Academy of Arts before I start a full fledged store. I want everything to be perfect. My plan is to start with an online store first then expand. I will be doing business with a couple of my friends and the products will be for both men and women. Accessories will be a huge part of the collections. men out there, be on the look out especially. i will dress you the way i dress once the store starts.

now.. please read my xanga if you're going to ask me "how was your day?", I can't say the same stuff to 318273 people over and over again. =] link is below. let's see... i occasionally reply to some people but if you message me something with nothing for me to reply with... then i can't reply! duh duh, so write something interesting for me! =] hmm let's see... i add almost anybody who requests because I don't believe in limiting my network just because I don't personally know all of you. I rarely request anybody so that means that everyone on my friendlist are there because they wanted to to begin with. so please don't leave me comments saying you will delete me if i don't talk to you, 'cause i didn't force you to add me and you can always unfriend me if me not talking to you bothers you so much. I have a very very busy lifestyle and I already spend more time than i should on this website. that goes for picture comments too, don't ask me to do that. i'll do it when i want to. i don't force anything on anyone so don't do it to me either pleaseeee =]last thing. don't advertise on my page okay? haha if you're gonna do that, at least you could pay me. that's how i see it, so don't leave me huge banners and stuff advertising 'cause i'll delete them =] i've had many many impersonators. Here's a note for you guys, if you're going to use my pictures and start a profile, at least provide correct information about me. don't make up a fictional character and try to get people to talk to you. i wouldn't mind if you're more like a PR person for me, instead of just some person who can't get people to talk to them with their own pictures. last thing about whatever competition there is out there. don't ask me to submit my picture and details, i don't have time for it. if you want to enter me, just give me proper credit and use an appropriate picture. that's all =]
