I'm striving to lead a life less ordinary, but a simple life nonetheless. I currently reside in Beijing, China where I study Mandarin (2 hours o class a day). Class costs a whopping $30 every two weeks...and I learn how to speak nice chinese, and curse myself everytime I'm in the real world (China these days) and I want to say something like, "WTF, you almost ran me over" or, "YOu're a real ass" but all I can say is, "bad luck" and "you're a bad man". Really insulting...Now who and what would I be status wise without my ride--a purple bicycle with no speeds, no bell and no streamers (haters keep trying to make my bike junky by throwing trash into the basket-- its all love people, all 3.8 billion of you). Why you gotta hate?I have an eclectic taste in almost everything in my life- except for my hairstyle-- standard black for once in my life--- no more dyed hair, unless I get bored or dumped again or I want my outter hair color to match my inner personality (like my uncle asked me once, "are those blond roots?"I walk the walk when I say that I have a healthy balance between work/school and LIFE and am probably the biggest proponent for a 40 hour or less work week (should I move to Europe...?). Anyone want to hire me? Good thing Im not interested in working. =)
You Should Rule Mars
Mars is a planet that shines brightly and loops wildly around the solar system.
You are perfect to rule Mars, because you are both energetic and independent.
Like Mars, you seems attractive and bright to others - but you're difficult to pin down.
You are a great thinker, but you only think in the present and ignore the future.
Full of enthusiasm and inspiration, you are into your own thing... and rather insensitive to others. What Planet Should You Rule?
You Should Travel to India
You're a passionate, gusty traveler - and India's gritty urban centers won't scare you away.
Maybe you'll take in the Taj Mahal, eat the best curry of your life, or attend a huge street festival. What Asian Country Should You Visit?
You Are 40% Weird
Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it! How Weird Are You?
