There are a lot of guilty pleasure songs... which I choose to keep anonymous, haha.

I'm very excited that less than 48 hours from now, I'll be out of HOTlanta and in Chi-town. I am super excited to see my brother and his family. My gay best friend is joining me a couple of days later in time for their Fourth of July BBQ on Saturday. We're going to spend Sunday and Monday downtown to go to the Shedd Aquarium, Lincoln Park Zoo, and to visit University of Chicago--Illinois. Pictures will come...

Have a great July 4th everyone! Be safe and don't get into trouble! Haha.

There will be times when he has parties where a lot of drinking is involved. He includes me in these parties and when I do attend them, it gets sexual in nature. There are straight girls there and a bunch of gay men. I love some of my friend's gay friends. So, while they're drunk, they get all hetero-sexual on each other. The gay men start groping and grabbing female parts with almost no shame. He says he respects me too much to do that to me and that I'm too innocent in his mind (although he knows I'm not that innocent) and prefers to keep me that way.

Anyways... this makes me wonder. How many of you have best friends that are gay/lesbian?

I guess I could share some random thoughts or things about myself since I'm new to this blog... so, here goes nothing...

When I grow up, I want to be a nurse. I always liked helping people get better and look after them, so it's only natural that I become a nurse. There's a personal satisfaction in it. Most of my life, people have been telling me that I would make a great teacher but having 25+ kids to teach and look after wasn't so appealing for me. I can handle a handful of children but not a classroom full of them. Ironically, I love kids. I want to be a pediatric nurse because I want to work with kids. If being a doctor wasn't so risky and expensive, I would have liked to be one (preferrably a pediatrician). Plus, I'm not that book smart. I am pretty intuitive though and I link that with the way I was raised. My parents are old-fashioned hard-working people so even when we were financially well off, I had to work for what I got. There was no spoiling the child in my household and I'm grateful for that now... although I wish they were a little less strict with me but then perhaps there would have been a different outcome.

That saying where Asians are supposed to be smart and good at math? Well, if it's not geometry or basic algebra, I don't really like math and I am not that good at it. Thank goodness my parents didn't emphasize getting good grades or else I would have been in trouble. I think my parents knew that I wasn't gifted in that area from a very young age. Plus, they wanted me to do things on my own and I still managed to make decent grades and went to school in a good district so I'm not complaining. I didn't even go to college straight after high school. Instead, I learned how to run and operate various small businesses since the age of sixteen (I am now 27) working 55 hours a week since I graduated high school. Then I discovered what career I wanted in my early/mid 20s so now I'm pursuing my dream career--nursing.

I think that's about all for now. I could go on, but I think I should spare you readers from having to read a novel so I'll stop here. Besides, there is plenty of time to pour out my life to the Xanga world. I'm just getting started... haha.

Good night... I hope.
