On Turning Korean

Yesterday, while sitting on the subway a sudden realization came to me, almost knocking me off of my seat. In the last 11 months, completely unbeknowst to me, I have begun to turn korean. It's true. This was confirmed when I took a moment to look down into my hands and registered that the snack I'd purchased for my commute was, in fact 'soft roasted dry squid'... and that I love it. For your interest I've compiled a list of evidence supporting my gradual change of identity.

1.) I snack on dried squid.
2.) I buy and wear t-shirts that read 'I ♥Panda'.
3.) I specifically order the pizza with potato and corn toppings, extra pickles.
4.) I use (and by 'use' I mean invented) the expression 'Yogi Chogi'.
5.) I wear headbands.
6.) I wear knee length shorts and high heels to work.
7.) I employ the word 'trash-ie' to enquire about the garbage.
8.) I enjoy communal bathing.
9.) I can't think of any adjectives beyond 'delicious' to describe food.
10.) I sport, upon my own request, a styled asian mullet.

HEAVENS BE PRAISED. You're almost done your year. Are you flipping out? Are you excited to come home? Are you doing any traveling after your contract is over?

That "I Panda" shirt sounds awesome. I just pulled my "Vaginas are Weird" T-shirt out of my drawer the other day...and laughed and laughed...
