About Me

WHASIAN=WHITE/ASIAN=MUTT=ME. i'm super hyper in the morning. i drink coffee religiously. i just finished my master's degree and i couldn't be happier. i'm an old soul with a child-like mentality. sarcasm is my best friend, but can be my worst enemy when it shows up at inappropriate times. i smile at inappropriate times, but it can be my best friend when i need a discount at a korean-owned establishment. i eat food in an obsessively methodical way: i must rotate between hot and cold/crunchy and soft in order to have a well-balanced consistency in my mouth. i appreciate individuality and imperfections in people. i'm obsessed with cheesy zombie movies and indecipherable asian cinema. i truly believe that hot sauce makes everything taste better. i constantly forget to throw away food that has gone beyond its expiration date. i like cheap wine. music is my therapy. naps are my second best friend. i was born weird, but i'm a dork by choice. laughter is my other form of therapy. i like rita's strawberry italian ice. some stereotypical facts about me that prove that i'm half asian (with a full asian mentality): i eat a lot of rice, my mom works at a dry cleaners (seriously), i own designer chopsticks, i have a slight obsession with hello kitty, i can add and subtract, i like karaoke, i unconsciously bow at other asian people when i say "thank you," and i'm a ninja.
