| Stolen from buboplague:
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
Name: Ji Hae Park; after kindergarten, I made everyone call me "jenny" because I wasn't tough enough to stand the name teasing. But after I switched high schools, I got tired of telling all the teachers to call me "Jenny" instead of "Ji", so I let it go. I made more friends because my name was "cool" than anything. I got alot of jokes about it, but now it's just fun stuff.
Age: I just turned 20...had to work on my birthday, which sucked, but whatever. 20 is like limbo; you're not a teen anymore, but you're not quite 21 either, so you can't really do anything adult-like. I'm getting old =(
Location: I was born in Changwon, South Korea. Then I lived in Alhambra, CA. Then I lived in Sunland, CA. Then I lived in Tujunga, CA, right next to Sunland. Now I live in Palmdale, CA. In a little under 2 months, I'll be moving into my super kickass apartment in Pomona, CA, all by my wee self.
Occupation: I am currently a sales associate at LEGO, Glendale. I volunteer at the Inland Valley Animal Control and SPCA at Pomona; free labor. I am going to be looking for a 2nd job at Cal Ply Pomona.
Partner: Alex; we're almost a year now. Doesn't sound like much, but it'll be my longest serious relationship up till now, and we plan to keep going. He's totally my opposite, which is probably why I'm always complaining about him on LJ, but he's fantastic and he brings color and inspiration to my life. He's always motivating me, even when I don't like him when he does it, and he's the one that inspired me to get back on track with my vet stuff.
Kids: I want 4, all sons. But Alex doesn't want that many. I want to have 2, and adopt 2, but Alex isn't too keen on adopting, either. He says they grow up troubled and with problems and stuff. I don't agree. But that's for later to discuss, I suppose. I will win, btw.
Siblings: I have a younger brother, Ji Hun. He's turning 17 in August. *sigh* I don't know what he wants to do with his life, but he likes WoW and Guild Wars. And Smash brothers. lol. But he's a good kid, and we have good times together. Today, we spent the evening dying our hair purple, lol
Pets: I have a chihuahuha mix, Dooli. He's super old now...I think 10 years old. He's always been grouchy but now he's even more grouchy, and these days he doesn't eat too well. We have to hand feed him everything, and he hardly drinks water. He doesn't like to move around much, either, but wen we see him chasing birds, it's encouraging. I also have fish that had more fish, but fish don't really count as pets. I am DYING to get kitties, though. But I'm too poor.
List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
these are in no particular order.
1. MOVING: September 1, I'll be moving into a 1 bedroom apt, all to myself. I'm super excited. I get to live on my own, and although I'm super scared and nervous about how I'm gonna cough up the hefty rent bill, I'm more thrilled than anything. I'm super excited to be able to have my own kitchen, toilet, bedroom, everything, and to be able to decorate on my own. I love buying stuff for my apt, and I CAN'T WAIT. I'm kind of stressed about the credit check, because they haven't done it yet, but my mom is pretty certain I'll be accepted. I can't wait to pack. I LOVE PACKING.
2. SWITCHING UNIVERSITIES: I'm going into Cal Poly Pomona this fall as a animal science major. I used to be an english major at UCLA, but I only ever took 1 english class and the rest were science and classics/art history. I'm super excited, and pretty nervous, and I know I'm going to miss UCLA's super big and fancy high-tech classrooms, but I need the close-knit small classrooms. I'm determined to do super well, and I finally feel like my life is moving forward.
3. PAINTING: I failed to keep up my painting a day, but I'm still trying to keep painting. I love it, and I want to get better at it. I've given up on art classes. I figure I just teach myself because that's how I do best. I'm also hoping to be not lazy and look for a gallery to put up my stuff, because I seriously need some kind of extra cash pulling in for me. I'm super stressed about how i'm gonna pay for my apartment, so that's another force driving me to paint as often as I am, but that's not the sole purpose of it.
4. RELATIONSHIP: Me and Alex are always working at it. Things aren't the same anymore...like, I don't get butterflies in my stomach anymore when I see him, and I don't get super anxious when we're about to go on a date. We don't do alot anymore...most of it is just sitting around and watching movies. Like, the chemistry is almost gone =( but even still, I feel like something's missing when he's not with me; having him constantly there, it completes me. Even when we're not doing anything, I feel most comfortable with him around. I still have jealousy issues, but it's not as bad as before, now that I have things occupying my brain.
5. JOB: Lego is not very stressful, but it's tiring to be on my feet all day. And I'm not getting paid nearly enough, nor a sufficient amount of hours. I'm not a money-greedy person, and I don't exactly buy everything my eyes land on. but i REALLY need the money...and...blah. Money is just BIG in my head right now.
Who are some of your closest friends: I only ever really talk to Alex. And then I have Alyssa, whom I hope to see more often now that we're working in the same mall, *NUDGE*NUDGE*. And Rachael, but she's been busy and I haven't seen her in forever. So...yeah...just...Alex, hahahaha.
Where and what did you go to school for? I entered UCLA as an english major, hoping to be an english teacher in Japan while making comics. BARF. I was totally weaboo stage then. Now, now that my brain is in order, I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona as an Animal Health, and I hope to continue onto veterinary school. I'm hoping to focus more on exotic animals (lions, zebras, eagles, etc.) than domestic, and possibly look into conservation biology. I'm not gonna chain myself to it, and I'm gonna leave my options open, but I really want to stay in the animal field. I'll be volunteering at the Pomona animal shelter, and I'm still trying to get a volunteer spot at the Santa Ana Zoo. |
