I’m not your Korean Princess, really. I promise.

Seriously…

I’m very seriously serious.

I went out to buy a quill. After something of a conversation, do you know what the shop owner said. The same thing that everyone else assumes or states. I’ve reproduced a general conversation of the sort for you. First -

You’re part Korean (or Asia).

No. I’m not. I’m lacking one hundred percent in Asian-ness.

Your ancestors were Korean.

That’s doubtful.

You were Korean in a past life.

By this point, the conversation is on a tangental crash-course for fantasy-land. How can I negate such a statement? So, yes, yes I was. Even though, the idea goes against some of my fundamental beliefs (and I don’t mean religious). I’ll accept it. Yes, I was Korean. I was a princess of Silla, an heiress of that ancient kingdom. Look, that’s my crown, in the photo. heh.

I realize that the gentleman was complementing me. But, I’ve had that conversation more than twenty-two times. It’s troubling. I know something of Korean politics and I can rattle off a few poorly crafted sentences and thus, I absolutely must! have a Korean ancestor? That’s terrible. Terrible. G-R-O-S-S.

For diplomatic reasons, it’s important to learn about others’ cultures and if the only ones who can possibly bridge cultural gaps are those who were ____ in their past lives… Well, then…

i’m an intellectual in training. everything inspires me. everything arouses my curiosity. reading, writing, designing, photography, living, etc. are my hobbies.

i was never the kid in class who said, “why do i need to learn this? i’m never going to use it.” that isn’t my way of thinking. i like to know as much as i possibly can about (almost) everything just because…

i mean, why not?

it’s difficult, though. because when you like tons of things - fatigue becomes this obnoxious monster. there’s just not enough time and with sleep and rest being a necessity - there’s really not enough time. so, ideally a girl must prioritize but… i, generally, try to do as little of that as possibly. i don’t like cutting back.

my goal is to figure out how to make each day as productive as possible without painfully outlining every activity and killing spontaneity. if you have any tips send them my way.

(insert transition)

when you write 5, how do you do it? one stroke or two? i was penalized by a game for crafting a quick clean 5 - from the top right to the bottom left. the game thought 9.

game: 9×5
me:45!
game: 49 is wrong.
game: 9-4
me: 5!
game: 9 is wrong.

my friends told me that i was writing incorrectly. “your stroke order is wrong.” my response, “no it’s not! this is how americans write 5!!! the game is against me!” i thought that it would be easy - that i could do the math section on the nintendo ds without any problems whatsoever and that i could do it hella fast but… my handwriting screwed me over.
