about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Spontaneity

August 31, 2005

So, at 9:00 p.m. tonight, I decided to make the trip to Atlanta for my annual Look-I-Really-Do-Have-Friends convention, otherwise known as Dragon Con. I didn’t decide to go as much as I was convinced to go. A friend offered to help me with the cost, so I ran out of legitimate excuses.

I’m very happy to be going, but I really hate making the decision at the very last minute. My parents are always very negative about this trip. Planning it at the last minute certainly didn’t help. My dad actually said, “I don’t understand why you need to go.” Then again, my dad doesn’t usually understand much about why anyone wants to do anything.

“I don’t understand why your sister has to get married in Florida.”

“I don’t understand why your mother wants to redecorate the house.”

“I don’t understand why you want to buy a dog.”

“I never understood why you had to go to Australia as an exchange student.”

“I don’t understand why you want to get an art degree.”

Or, in other words. “I don’t understand why anyone would want to do anything different than what I would do.” And don’t be fooled into thinking my dad just needs someone to explain it to him. Oh no. If he doesn’t understand it’s because he doesn’t want to understand.

My mom’s never been actively negative, but I get the feeling she dislikes me going too. I think hers is more a concern about safety though. You know? Those internet weirdos.

Rob never complains about me going, but he hates last minute decisions. He knew I’ve been debating this trip again this year, so I don’t think it was a complete surprise when I told him.

My sister is the only one who really gets it. She tells me every year that I should go. And she thinks everyone else should accommodate me just so I can go. But then, what does she know? She’s getting married in Florida.

    You were an exchange student?! What program did you go through? I went to Denmark for a year in 97/98. And I say phooey to all of your naysayers. Go have a good time and a safe trip :)

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
