I’m the Asian chick.
This is my “bling bling” pose
2. Nerdy hobbies
a. bibliophile:
I am a vast collector of books, words, and quotes. I will basically read anything that allows me to strengthen or feed my hunger for knowledge. My true parents were literature and imagination. I have a devotion towards Victorian literature. I am currently working on a mixed media project involving Charlotte Perkins Gilman's the yellow wallpaper. I’m doing it for fun -- formating it in journal format. I also adore contemporary literature -- authors such as Douglas Coupland, Tom Robbins, and Mark Z Danielewski inspire me with their metaphores and descriptions of modern life. I love reading about correspondences -- anything from fiction like Choderlos De Laclos's Les Liaisons Dangereuses or a real correspondence like Henry Miller and Anais Nin. If the correspondence intrigues me, I’ll read it in the original language and weed through every translation to find the closest match to the original language. I love children's books -- I have read every book by E.L. Konigsburg and had dreams as a child of running away to live in a museum. I am smitten with -- I loved Matilda and related to her immensely. Libraries have always been a place of calm to me, when I distance myself with what really matters, I spend hours in a library so I can recognize where I developed the most. I love the smell of bookstores and find comfort in the base smell of a room full of wallpapered literature. There is a never-ending capacity in my heart for imagination or knowledge.
b. sniff collection:
I have realized in my 26-27 years on this earth that I am obsessed with smells. I wish I was as clever as this company who markets olfactory sensitivity to the maximum. The smells linger -- I bought "snow" because it reminded me of snowstorms in my old home state, Pennsylvania. I like to collect smells. I dream of inventions that capture and preserve smells. For instance, in the movie Harold and Maude, she invented a machine that encapsulated the smell of a city in winter -- I want that, to have that ability to dip into that nostalgia. I have jars of scents -- not of candles, but of objects and when they are placed together remind me specifically of a time period of my life.
c. stroll-er:
I love taking walks. I have perfected the ability to stroll. The ministry of silly walks holds no torch to my idiocy of skipping happily and using my feet to exercise my spirit. I love being outside anywhere -- if it camping,lingering and observing through trail paths, or laying underneath the stars watching a meteor shower...
3. A brief educational history.
4 long torrid years of high school with a 3.5 GPA.
SAT score: 1360
(Verbal 760, Math 600)
Note: I am not good at math.
Note pt 2: perhaps it's the stereotypes I’ve been dealing with -- I am Asian and I don't like the assumption that I am supposed to be good at math.
SAT II:
Writing: 760
Critical reading or verbal reasoning: 720
SAT II: Literature: 700
I don't recall what my sub-score was for essays; I believe when I broke it
down it was a 9 or 10, although I might have to do some digging to find
exact score.
I also used to vividly recall reading vocabulary prep SAT books just for
fun. I took the writing part of the SATII for fun and curiosity.
My first original goal was to go to Radcliffe, I wanted so much to be a Radcliffe girl. I had the grades, recommendations, and the sponsorship (at least support wise), but due to financial reasons, I had to accept a scholarship for a college in Florida. I went to college for a few years on several Pell Grants, writing scholarships, was on the president's list and/or dean's list each year. I was in the national honor society. I was on the forensics team and loved debate. My cumulative GPA: 3.0. My major was Education with a double minor in Comparative Literature and English. I had to leave school for personal reasons and now have found that I have a taste for the creative. I hope to surround my life in either marketing design or mass media in art.
4. Hours spent on the Internet daily
Right now, i'm working for an aforementioned corporation in the IT field. That's right. I am an Internet troll and if you count work, I’m on a computer about 16 hours/day at the minimum. I troubleshoot computers for fun. I love to take them apart and put them back together again.
5. Other nerdy tidbits
My life is like office space. I borderline between kicking up my heels on the desk and eating cheetos while playing tetris to being shoved into a corner in the back clutching my red stapler.
I collect antiques if only for the romance of having someone's past in my hands. I generally will find something then do research to investigate the history of the object. The same is with my book collection -- I find it thrilling to buy a used book and find slips of paper giving me a clue to whom that person was; whether it be a grocery list or a love letter. In all actuality, I think I like collecting bits and pieces of another person's history.
My mating call is luring boys into my bedroom with my ps2, telling them I don't game, and then kick their asses.
I’m an introvert learning to survive in an extroverted world.
I love DVDs. I have a massive independent movie collection. I love watching any kind of supplement or bonus on any DVD. To me, it's like a hidden treasure chest -- I usually watch the movie, then after a few weeks when I can sit down and listen I watch the commentaries by the directors or actors and find the hidden bonus on the DVD.
I love tori amos. I’ve spent a decade in admiration. I adore the fact that one of her lyrics says "Greg he writes letters and burns his cds" -- gals or guys that are younger than I am will assume it's literally ripping off music ... I know better.
I’m the hidden anime character on that video game you cannot beat.
I might be outside in the middle of some corporate farm, waiting in the bushes with other geeks and nerds trying to win a free motherboard or processor but am distracted by the vast array of free cup holders, mouse pads, and free t-shirts.
