About Me

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: Nicholas Jin Gascho, Jin Soo Wang, or Glen to two
Birthday: August 29, 1986
Birthplace: Incheon, South Korea
Current Location: Bellows East Apartments, Mount Pleasant, MI
Eye Color: brown
Hair Color: dark dark brown
Height: 5'5"ish
Right Handed or Left Handed: I'm not really sure anymore. I guess left, but I do do a lot with my right hand.
Your Heritage: South Korean I guess
The Shoes You Wore Today: my funeral Vans
Your Weakness: I get really intimidated by large social structures. This one is hard to explain. I've never been able to explain this one properly to anyone.
Your Fears: bugs, large bodies of water (espcially water that I can't see to the bottom of), any animal larger than an elephant, control and lack thereof, long silken gloves, certain dangly jewelry, unusually large leafs (sorry, it's the hockey in me, if anyone caught that...)
Your Perfect Pizza: spinach and corn alfredo pizza FROM THE BYRD
Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: I don't really have too much time left in 2007, but I guess I'd like to finish out this semester with all A's and have a sweet ass x-mas break. Lots of partying with Ally and I hope I get to see Ekoh.
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: I don't really talk on IM anymore. Every once in a while when I'm bored and have some actual free time.
Thoughts First Waking Up: These days it's usually "OH SHIT I'M AN HOUR AND A HALF LATE FOR WORK"
Your Best Physical Feature: I don't know man, this semester I got kind of fat, except no one really noticed but my mom.
Your Bedtime: It probably should be about an hour earlier than it is most nights...
Your Most Missed Memory: I don't know, I've spent enough of the last year or so thinking about my past. I'm sort of done with that now.
Pepsi or Coke: If I'm thirsty, it's all about the Pepsi, but if I'm drinking it's all about the coke I guess.
MacDonalds or Burger King: both can suck a dick
Single or Group Dates: dude, both can be extremely fun
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: both are pretty good. I'm a Lipton guy in the spring and a Nestea guy any other time in the year
Chocolate or Vanilla: not really big on either of them
Cappuccino or Coffee: coffee makes me sick
Do you Smoke: yes...yes I do
Do you Swear: I think my swearing has gone down but maybe not
Do you Sing: not that well
Do you Shower Daily: like 4 times a week
Have you Been in Love: yeah and I'm glad it happened. I've been in love three times. The first time was kind of iffy because I was so young, the second time was the probably the most exciting and lasted the longest, the third was one that I wish I could have had a crack at but it's probably too late for that now.
Do you want to go to College: I'm in college, and no, I'd rather be traveling thank you.
Do you want to get Married: from an ideological standpoint I oppose marriage on pretty much all grounds, but it'd make certain things a fuck of a lot easier and when I get older I could see myself choosing convenience over ideals, but for now I'll say no I don't want to get married.
Do you believe in yourself: In a lot of situations
Do you get Motion Sickness: not really
Do you think you are Attractive: I think I can be cute, that's about it.
Are you a Health Freak: noooo
Do you get along with your Parents: most of the time
Do you like Thunderstorms: LOVE THEM. Must have sex in one. That's a goal of mine over the next 12 months.
Do you play an Instrument: not really anymore
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: probably not enough
In the past month have you Smoked: probably more than enough haha
In the past month have you been on Drugs: two illegal ones and one legal one
In the past month have you gone on a Date: not really but i've been trying to muster up the courage to go on one...I'm very close
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: I don't believe in supporting the kind of marketing, trafficking and advertising exhibited at malls, nor do I believe in supporting most of the practices the stores partake in within malls.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: no that's fucking gross
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: no
In the past month have you been on Stage: ehh yeah and it sucked
In the past month have you been Dumped: no
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: too cold man
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: just a lighter or two
Ever been Drunk: yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Ever been called a Tease: yeah, it's kind of funny.
Ever been Beaten up: like once
Ever Shoplifted: a long time ago
How do you want to Die: I guess I don't really care
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: something that I'm somewhat good at, something I enjoy doing, and something that helps my community
What country would you most like to Visit: Ireland
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: anything earthy I guess
Favourite Hair Color: I'm more about the style than the color
Short or Long Hair: I think girls with long hair are fucking sexy as hell, but I've seen some great shorter cuts in my time
Height: I tend to be really sexually attracted to really short girls, but in general, I guess just average height.
Weight: whatever floats their boat. I've been known to cruise with skinny chicks and bigger chicks, so whatever.
Best Clothing Style: as long as it comes from within them and represents them at least more than the twisted bi-product of fashion-based brainwashing, I'll think it's amazing.
Number of Drugs I have taken: four I guess
Number of CDs I own: I don't know...300+
Number of Piercings: none, eww
Number of Tattoos: one - the Face to Face maze guy on my back right shoulder
Number of things in my Past I Regret: nothing, though I recognize a lot of stupid decisions I've made in my life, but I don't nessecarily regret making them because I'm a better person now since. I think the only way I could regret anything is if I made a really poor decision based on nothing good that led to someone needlessly dying. I might regret that.

I sit far away and observe this thing that everyone walks by or walks on. I'm sorry but today that's not in my personal description, and I somehow doubt tomorrow will be any different. I sit far away....
