Post 6 things about yourself and tag your mutuals. 💫

I am a big sister and I love it (seriously, I only have one sister, but a lot of cousins, all younger than me, my godmother has three younger kids, I am babysitting 2 little girls, ...) I think it’s my destiny to be a big sister.

It’s my birthday in 4 days and I’m really looking forward to it, I’m turning 24 and my parents and my friends will be there and it will be super cool!

Right now I am watching a ton of shows and it’s not really bothering me. Usually I would start one show, finish it and then start the next but right now I feel like it’s okay to watch multiple things and I like it.

It’s 9am now and I need to start working on my last essay for this year and I’m super reluctant to do it but I have one more month left and I wanna be done earlier than that so I might have some free time.

As mentioned, I am a babysitter and I love it but the family is on holiday for 2 weeks now and I really enjoy not having to work after the last couple of days I was there every day. 

I live alone and I enjoy it, most of the time. Sometimes though I crave human connection and then I go wandering through the streets of the city or in the park and I just watch the people and it’s really calming to see that the world goes on, people go about their daily life, even though I feel rather left alone.

So this got really really long. Sorry y’all.

Aang (what makes me happy): getting asks, hehe ;) but in all seriousness...

writing, reading books that I truly enjoy, fiction and fandom and storytelling in general. Getting caught up in a story that makes me feel like a part of something more important than my own life. Baked goods, all types, both making and consuming. Shipping things. The retreats and praise/worship sessions we used to do at my high school. Going to Disneyland. The cereal aisle at the grocery store. Mochi ice cream. aesthetically pleasing salads. The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. (Really, all violin concertos that aren’t baroque or the weird 20th century ones.) Rediscovering things I loved as a kid and finding that I still love them now. Road trips. Anything with a Marvel logo on it. Bookstores. Thunderstorms. Watching figure skating. Trying on evening gowns I know I’ll never buy at stores. Korean dramas. Fandom merch. Beluga whales. Anytime the weather does anything interesting because my born-and-raised Southern Californian brain gets tired of 75 and sunny. Driving fast, music blaring, on empty highways - the more lanes, the better. Finding a new song that I like (bc I’m so insanely picky about music that this rarely happens). Choreographing dances and skating programs. Novelty - being places that aren’t like home, doing things I would never usually do. Airports. wearing new clothes. Large friendly dogs. People I haven’t talked to in a while responding to my Snapchat stories. Pictures of whale sharks. Tropical flowers, especially plumeria. Being in classes. Scrapbooking. Being onstage. Birthdays. Being nostalgic. Managing to write song lyrics that don’t suck. Christmas decorations. Rays (the ocean kind) - bat rays, manta rays, eagle rays, cownose rays, they’re all Babies and I love ‘em all. Foreign films that make you cry. Sandwiches! Museums. School dances. The idea, feeling, and experience of being a teenager in love. Textbooks. Movie trailers. Every single one of my OTPs. So many things.

Katara (most important person): um...most likely my mom. She’s been such a huge moral influence that it’s virtually impossible for any area of my life to *not* have been touched by my relationship with her. I love her a lot but we also challenge each other. Constantly. But that leads to growth? Right?

Yue (dreams): that’s hard, ugh...I feel like all of my biggest dreams are really selfish, and it’s kind of hard to admit that. But if I’m being completely honest, I have two:

1. to experience a moment of clarity in which something happens that is so good and so triumphant and so clearly right that my view of life shifts to make sense of it and I realize why things that once disappointed me had to fall into place the way they had to bring me to this moment, and

I was tagged by the amazing @sum-to-the-infinity! Thanks so much!

RULES: Tell your followers 11 random facts about yourself and tag 11 people. Tag backs are allowed but if you do get tagged again you must not repeat any of the facts you mentioned in the previous round. The facts can be absolutely anything, whatever comes to mind first. 

1. I’m the poster-child for night owls everywhere. Like just last night I went to bed at around 2 AM because I was watching RTTE and woke up at 10:30 AM this morning. My family makes it their personal mission to call me out on it too.

2. Sometimes when I listen to music I get annoyed by the sound of particular artists’ voices so I skip all of the songs until I get to one that doesn’t annoy me.

3. When I was little, I threw up a lot for reasons unknown to me now. The most frequented location for my vomit was this large carpet in the family room that we still own, so whenever I sit on the floor I think of all the times I threw up on it and silently apologize to it.

4. I’m not scared of bugs or anything, but I see crickets as the most ugly and repulsive things. Especially the big and fat ones. Yuck.

5. I’m not one of those people that obsess over holidays like Christmas or Halloween. I appreciate the traditions and love associated with Christmas and the youthful fun of Halloween but I wouldn’t be someone who’s counting down the days until they come again.

6. In my opinion, I don’t get frustrated easily, but I get so overwhelmingly frustrated at stereotypes. While some may call them “harmless jokes”, I don’t see the humor in them. Why is it funny to restrict people to those social standards? Every person is unique and doesn’t deserve to be labeled as being one thing or another.

7. I have an unusually strong attachment to my long hair. Whenever anyone brings up the possibility of cutting it off, I get so terrified.

8. Whenever possible, I try to crack jokes. I don’t think it’s as much a way for me to get other people’s attention, but a way for me to feel better and more comfortable in any given situation. Most of the times they probably aren’t even funny, but hey, it makes my day just a smidge happier.

9. If this wasn’t obvious already, I’m incredibly anxious for the next season of RTTE. And now that it’s Winter Break, I can’t stop thinking about it. I guess all the more reason for me to rewatch Seasons 1-3.

10. I go through periods where I am extremely unhappy with my appearance. I start to psychoanalyze every pimple, every stretch mark, and even how I smile in pictures. It’s like I’m obsessed with pointing how weird I look.

11. I’m a perfectionist with literally everything. If I’m doing any sort of project, than it has to be exactly how I have it pictured in my mind or else it isn’t acceptable. My friends are always telling me to tone it down and to stop stressing out.

Thanks for tagging me @astrxd! I had so much fun answering your questions! RULES
1. Always repost the rules 
2. Answer the questions given by the person who tagged you
3. Give 11 questions of your choice to the people you tag
4. Tag 11 people p>1) Are you the type of person to stop a microwave before the timer goes off, or do you just wait for it to stop?

I wait it for it to stop. I’ve had too many incidents where I’ll take my food out early, 
and I’ll promptly proceed to spit it out because it’s frozen.

2) Do you like eggs? If so, do you prefer the egg yolk or egg white?

Eggs are great :) I don’t think I really have a preference for the egg yolks or whites, I’ll eat both with a smile 
3) ALL TIME FAVORITE MEME. GO.

The Grumpy Cat “I came. I saw. I complained.” meme. I have a big weakness for Caesar (yeah not really) ;) 
4) Would you rather sky dive or scuba dive?

Scuba dive. I’m terrified of heights, so sky diving is a big no-no. 
5) Are you more of a morning or night person?

Night person. Apologies to anyone who has ever seen me in the morning. 
6) What’s your absolute, all time favorite knock-knock joke?

I’m a sucker for the interrupting cow joke, probably because it’s just so ridiculous. 
7) Favorite type of candy? Do you prefer chocolates, or fruit-flavored things?

I’m obsessed with gummy bears. Whoever buys me gummy bears is my best friend. 
8) What hobbies do you have?

I like to read and do volunteer work, especially if kids are involved. I also love to babysit, but I never have time to do that anymore. 
9) What’s one fun fact about yourself that you’d like to share?

I’m always being compared to Violet from The Incredibles, because we both have long dark hair and light eyes. 
10) What song inspires you the most?

I love “Firework” by Katy Perry, but “Try Everything” from Zootopia is pretty awesome too. 
11) What are three things you couldn’t live without?

My family, my friends (online and rl), and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
