a little bit about me.
r a n d o m f a c t s 1. My biggest fears include worms (I hate, hate, hate slimy things that crawl ><), the dark, and being unwanted. 2. I never learned how to ride a bicycle. And I'm never gonna learn, so there. 3. I sing mostly in the shower, in the car, and on occasion, when there's a song stuck in my head. 4. Sometimes I'll sit there with earbuds in my ears and absolutely nothing playing at all. I don't know why o_o. 5. I make silent bets with myself all the time just to see if I win them or not. 6. One of my most embarrassing moments was at camp when I was 15, during breakfast when I slipped down the stairs in front of everybody there including my then-crush and spilled juice and pastry all over myself. >////< 7. My hands sweat profusely when I get nervous. 8. I've undergone surgery for a malignant mole on my right forearm. 9. I have an uncurable, not-contagious, particularly severe strain of skin disease called keritosis pilaris ("Asian spots") on my arms and legs. 10. I don't have a middle name because I'm Asian. 11. I'm a big realist. I don't understand, like, or warm to real-life romance. But I'm starting to think there's a closet romantic somewhere inside me, because when I see big gestures and all that romance in movies or books, I love it. I'm in denial about it though. 12. I only have one dimple, on my right cheek. 13. I interview imaginary celebrities sometimes in the bathroom when I'm washing up and make up scenarios in my future television studio in Taiwan. 14. I'm incredibly possessive with bands and singers. If I discovered them first, they're mine and I'm the only one allowed to love them. 15. I also like bands who are underground more than if they're mainstream. The luster is gone when they're played on the radio. 16. I've always wanted an older brother. 17. I've pet a now-extinct species of leopard, been on a camel, and swam with dolphins before. 18. I'm very shallow. I admit it. I judge people based on how they look, and my mood stems off of how I look that day. 19. I may appear to brush things off, but in reality I overanalyze a lot of things to the point of nothing. So don't play mind games with me. 20. I douse everything with hot sauce. 21. I used to model in a brief stint when I was 16-18 in China, but just for catalogue and sometimes editorial, never runway or anything because I'm too short. I was more of a 'face' model for cosmetics and stuff than for clothes. 22. I'm a bookworm. If you give me an interesting book to read I won't take my eyes off it until I'm done. 23. I'm better at loving people from a distance, I think. I do a good job when I'm with them but absence really makes the heart grow fonder in my case. 24. I love babies, but after age 5, I stop liking kids. 25. I've played piano competitively since I was 5; I think it's a given when you're studying under the most prestigious teacher in the state. But I get really intense stage fright with piano, so after sophomore year I stopped competing after I won first place because it gave me ulcers. 26. I'd say I'm relatively good at drawing people, but I'm terrible at drawing hands except if I have a model. 27. The first things I notice in the opposite sex are their eyes, hair, and hands. Hands are lovely to me. 28. I have perfect pitch. 29. I also have near-perfect punctuation and grammar. 30. I love to shop, and my dress sense is really loud and eclectic. My friends say I can pull off almost any look (because I'm Asian and fobbiness is generally accepted?). And I collect skinny jeans. 31. I have been to the gym about a total of 5 times in my life, and I loooooooveeeee to eat. I'm thinking I should start exercising soon... 32. I have really vivid dreams, and I really dread nightmares. 33. I love roller coasters. My first experience was with my dad when I was around 9, and it was completely horrifying, so I'm surprised I ever went back on one, but I'm glad I did because I lava them now. 34. I can fake a decent British accent, but I'm always too embarrassed to show people XD. 35. According to a linguist, I have a slight Chinese accent when I speak English, but when I speak Mandarin, the inflections and intonations in my voice are so Americanized it sounds like I have a little bit of an American accent too. 36. I'm slowly working the number of piercings I have in my ears to 10. 37. My stomach makes weird noises for no reason at the most inconvenient times EVER. 38. I like to make lists. It helps de-stress me when I have a lot of things to do and stay organized. 39. I love writing fiction. My imagination is ridiculous and huge, and I daydream a ton, so I always like getting it down on paper. I'm also in love with beautiful and broken words. When I read something raw and powerful and so pretty, I'm always jealous and inspired. I try to write like that; sometimes I succeed scarily well, other times, it just turns out uninspired. 40. I compare myself to other people too much. (This is probably because my parents used to do it) 41. I used to have a celebrity crush on Jet Li O_O. 42. I'm going to dye my hair blue one day when I get up the balls. 43. I'm still learning guitar. Slowly but surely. 44. My thumb has an extra joint or something, and I can make it stick out and look gross. 45. I love it when emo boys paint their nails and wear eyeliner and have lip piercings. Tres hot. 46. The guy I marry has to have a sense of style. It can be relaxed, but he must have some fashion smarts. Also, I'd prefer a rocker type to an athlete any day. But he can't be skinny. 47. I'm a big camera whore (wow, really?), but mostly I make weird faces at the camera unless I think I look hot, then it's just modeling time :P. 48. When I was little, I shut the door on my finger on purpose because I wanted to get out of playing piano. I've also put my hand on a hot iron for the same purpose. 49. When I like a song, I'll listen to it on repeat for hours. Then it gets buried in my iTunes until I rediscover it again. 50. I've been involved in a weird conspiracy thing where the purpose ended up being our cute waiter kissing me. Bonus. My muse is a water-based thing I believe, because I think up my best ideas ever when I'm in the shower. I can be stuck at my laptop for hours experiencing horrible writer's block, and as soon as I hit the shower, I get struck with such golden inspiration. I know you think it has to do with taking time away from my story and coming back to it, but it never works anywhere else except the shower. //// s u r v e y If I could choose another name for myself, it would be Parker, Lucy, or Shea (pronounced Shay). I like really classic and/or unisex names. On my birthday, I like to PARTAYYYYY. JK. I do like huge parties, but as I get older I'm starting to prefer getting ultra-dressed up and going out to eat or dance or something with close friends, then coming back and lounging and chillin in our PJs or something. My closet is narsty. It's empty and soo disorganized at the moment. I organize it by length of sleeve for tops and leg-lengths for bottoms, and right now everything's just stuffed everywhere or still in suitcases or just strewn all over the floor because I just got back from Syracuse and am too lazy to pack. Also, I'm constantly buying new things and running out of closet room ><. The last place you'd ever find me is the gym, HAHAHA. If I had $100 right now, I would buy the Longchamp Le Pliege Large bag. After I shower, I always apply lotion, my face mask, and my nose strips; take my contacts out; & brush my hair. My dog always is nonexistent :( but he WILL be fierce, once I get that German Shepherd i've always wanted. When watching a movie, I prefer to snack on ice cream, junior mints, and salsa&nachos. This summer, I plan on GOING TO CHINA BABYYYYY. & then lounging and chillin like a villain whilst I prepare for taiwan. And camp counselor again of course. Sickest summer everrrr! If someone could read my mind right now, they'd probably hear my brain singing along to Fire by 2NE1 since it's on repeat. The last letter of my surname is U. That's also half my surname ;o). My musical tastes are eclectic and broad. I like everything except hardcore country, screamo & that heavy metal stuff, rap (except when GD/TOP does it!), and opera. I'm always taking pictures of myself. HAHAHA. I'm a camera whore. When I look to my left, I see my cluttered desk, my clothes and suitcases, my closet doors with Orlando Bloom and Audrey Hepburn posters, and my door with my Legolas poster :P. The next concert I'm going to is A FAHRENHEIT ONE IN OCTOBER!!! WA SAI!!! Right now, I'm listening to Fire by 2NE1 of course. I would love it if I could be Jiro's girlfriend and a co-host with Aaron XD. The colour of the shirt I'm wearing is white and black. I have never been to Europe. This will change of course. The last text message I received said uhh. I don't know if I want to share since it's kind of explicit. "Haha apparently just what it would be like to have sex with us alone and together". Sender will remain anonymous XD. I'm not pleased with how there is still 10 days to go before all my friends are finally back from college so we can HANG OUT! My latest addiction is vindaloo curryyyy and Indian food :d. I only kinda like cheese. I used to hate it except as like a pizza topping, but it's growing on me a little. Only certain kinds though, like really sharp cheddar and brie. My parents are awesomeee. My dad is crazy talented at everything and eloquent but secretly goofy and my mommy pampers me and loves Jiro almost as much as I do! :) If I won an all-expenses-paid trip somewhere, I'd choose to go to well since we're going to China and Taiwan already this year (hahaha), I'll say ITALY! I want to have a deep conversation with Patty Hou. I have a lotttt of questions to ask her since her life is what I want my future to be job-wise. Also it'd be cool to ask if she'd take me on as an apprentice, or intern, or something ;). The last thing I ate for dinner was Medium-rare steak, Caesar salad, clam chowder, and a peach fruit smoothie at Outback Steakhouse then Seattle's Best Coffeehouse. :d I'd love to be interviewed by well really I'd love to be the one doing the interviewing (hahaha), buuuut obviously Show Luo & Xiao Gui! There is no competition! Well except for maybe Aaron, since he's actually really good at it. If I could turn invisible, the first thing I'd do is strip nekked. HAHAHA. And then steal me some awesome shit. China countdown: 23 days. x summer mood ; happy music ; fire - 2ne1 obsession ; borders bookstore crave ; (i got my steak!) PHO location ; denver -> my room again :) On Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 1:30:00 AM |
the girl.
I'm Meichen Yu. I'm Summer Yu. I'm Chen. I'm Winter.I'm a 20 year old Chinese (fan)girl from Denver, Colorado, who goes to New York for university. I'm a broadcast journalism major hoping to work in Taiwan as a variety show host after graduation. I love my family of 100+. I've played piano since I was 5 (had it beat into me, more like) and guitar, I charcoal and sketch, and I write fiction. I Photoshop too much. I keep up with fashion, use shopping as cardio, love experimenting with makeup, and go dancing a lot. I am attached to my iPod, love and breathe music, and own too many faded concert tshirts. I dress eclectically; I have polos, suspenders, bright dresses, African print, and Converse lace-up boots in my closet. I'm a walking oxymoron. I can be chill and laid-back and go-with-the-flow and I can also be very passionate and headstrong. I'm girly but emotionally I'm a bit like a man. I'm rather blunt and oblivious and incredibly insensitive. I have a low man-voice and I use it to tell it like it is. I'm a huuuuge EPL (English Premiere League) fan and World Cup fanatic. I can't understand why America is the only country who doesn't see soccer (FOOTBALL) for the beautiful game it is. It's pretty much the only sport I keep up with. Also, I'm a huuuge Asian celebrity fangirl. Fahrenheit, in particular Jiro and Aaron, are my weak spot, though Big Bang ranks as a close second by sheer force of talent. I love Donglun slash. (I also love Reno/Cloud slash.) Often times when I'm walking around listening to my iPod I will daydream a whole music video (with me in them most of the time) in my head as a song plays. Other times I will imagine whole Taiwanese Dramas and cast all the characters. I believe my whole life thus far can be accurately summed up by The Googoo Doll's Dizzy Up the Girl album, hence the blog title. I also hope my future life (with Jiro) will be able to be summed up by Cheer Chen's discography. I eat too much, sleep erratically and usually during the day, party hard, and work my ass off. I have a short attention span and am pretty good at wasting time. Sometimes I get worried that nobody understands my strange self but most of the time I'm not concerned with working too hard at making friends because if it's meant to be, it will stick. I dream big and believe my life will follow as such. If you box your possibilities into a small space, your life will only be mediocre. God gave us dreams and the means to make them come true; use them. I love my good and fearful God. I'm excited to see where life takes me. I'm excited to be alive. :). I'm terrible at summing myself up in these things. |
