About Me

I consider both Korea and Massachusetts my hometown, and am part of the 1.5 generation. I'm really into nature, being in it, photographing it, trying to draw it, but I also enjoy the deadly tv/couch/cheetos combo. I'm not really into video games, although the graphics are better than ever, but have good memories from the PS One and SNES days. I also like to dumpster dive, and wouldn't be ashamed to deck out my whole house with goods from the Salvation Army store. I fully support research and perfection of alternative sources of energy. I like rodents as pets 'cause they're cute and easier to take care of than dogs. I think Korean food is the best food in the world, and am uncertain if I could live without it.
