Because I am too lazy to blog about New Year’s, here’s a filler post. I wrote this in late October, 2008.
Presumably.

hi. :] i’m kari.
[that's "car" - "e", mind, not carrie.]
before i even begin telling you about myself, keep this in mind: i can’t be labeled. i can’t be placed into a box of human constructs. and i definitely can’t be defined by a couple paragraphs on myspace.
what i do
i’m a high school freshman and i’m there to do some real growing up and have a damn good time while i’m at it.
i’m also a native new yorker (manhattanite at heart) and my city runs in my blood.
i may be asian (heritage: taiwanese) on the outside, but i am as american as they come no matter what my exterior shows.
everyone says music = life. for me, it’s more than just an expression.
i’m like to think i’m a writer/poet. proud humanities gal; suck at math &science, though i’m a technology junkie [MACS FTW]. i’m also into arts; singing, acting. dancing. photography.
i’m incredibly politically active. national/international news most people my age don’t even know of plays a large role in my daily life and my near future; as well as YOURS. get informed. stay informed.
i try to express myself through what i wear and am very much a “mood dresser”. fashion + makeup are art forms. if you know me in real life, you’ll have noticed my crucifyingly high-heeled shoes. look; i’m 4′10″. i’m funsized and i know it. it gives me the liberty to wear heels at all times and be carried around- what’s not to love? big things come in little packages.
i believe in beauty=brains and am not ashamed of my intelligence, my vocabulary, or my values. i am who i am. those who are important to me can/do accept me and love me for just that.
if you can’t, consider it your loss.
what i feel
emotional. spontaneous. charismatic. devious. ambitious. empathetic. manipulative. affectionate. dramatic. contemplative. wild. human.
i am a walking contradiction and a hypocrite much of the time. i get lost. i get found. i make mistakes, some worse than others. i am far from flawless and i know it. but as an old friend used to say, “your imperfections are what make you perfect.” even though i made decisions in my life that might tarnish my past and my present and my future, what’s done is done and life is truly too short to regret.
i’m searching for my reason for living. sometimes i still don’t know why it is i get up in the morning, but i hope to find out.
i try to live to the fullest. sometimes i forget. but one thing i never forget to do is laugh.
what i love
fire + passion + strawberries : RED!
hot pink + black : COLOR.
bright orange + blue : MY ROOM :]
myspace + facebook : INTERNET CRACK.
frappuccinos + frozen yogurt : YUM.
hugs + hugs + hugs : MORE HUGS!
clothes + makeup + shoes : SELF-EXPRESSION.
photos + poems + diaries: MEMORY~
wishing on stars + chasing cars : DREAMS <3
animals + nature : REAL TREASURE
friends + family : TRUE SURVIVAL KIT.
