About Me

Living the writer's life in Chicago and going to grad school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.Layout made by MULS at CreateBlog.com . I edited my profile at MsPremade.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

ok, it took me a year but i filled this crap out. so is this supposed to make me cool or what? don't answer that. -- ok, for real, dancing. if i could, all my time would be spent on my dance classes. classical ballet at academy of ballet and san francisco dance center. traditional chinese dance with lily cai. and if i could afford it i'll still be doing chinese acrobatics at the school of circus arts.

I'd like to meet:

It would be cool to meet my big brother, and maybe, my mom.

Music:

what don't i listen to. right now Jean Grae beats the rest. and how could i forget my boys - on the country/punk tip - Redneck Girlfriend.

Movies:

aw, dangerous thing to ask someone who majored in film. old school Jet Li hits the spot especially the whole Once Upon a Time in China series. most anything from Kurasawa and Almovodar. in terms of short shorts, Skater Dater is a classic. who would have thought a short narrative film without any dialogue, keeping the main character on his skateboard the entire time could be such a good flick? could go on and on but i won't. maybe i'll share more later.

Television:

yes, i own one now. maybe one day i'll even get cable, digital, satellite ... i don't know, tivo?

Books:

too many to list. that's coz i didn't grow up with a tv. yes, i have a library card and i use it (go head, call me a geek). there was a phase where i only read non-fiction--history of anything, philosophy of everything, discussions of nothing too important. right now keeping it simple with graphic novels-- the latest greatest is marjane satrapi's graphic memoirs PERSOPOLIS and PERSOPOLIS 2.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.

I love Oscar Wilde.
