Truth: I can't shake off the Asian part of me completely, no matter how much a Twinkie I consider myself. The k-pop I can easily do without, but the food? Not so much. So, this Thanksgiving, as my parents came to see me instead of me going home, I took advantage of this chance by making a trip to the Korean market that would otherwise be inaccessible. The H-Mart in Niles (the next town over), that is. The best way to do a restock of Korean food I found was to just do it in a rush. Get in, get out. That way you grab everything you always get back home, plus whatever you happen to pass by that you thought you might like even slightly. No thinking. Just do it. Rush to the the cashier. Father pays. By the time Mother realizes youve got enough preserved, MSG-laced food to give you cancer, you're already at your dormroom packing whatever little space you have left with your stash.

In other news, now that Thanksgiving is done, Christmas season has begun! I mean, the holiday season. Gotta be PC, here. Well--no, I don't. I'm gonna live life on the edge:

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

I've compiled my Christmas playlist, and it's awesome even though it's just about the same as last year and the titles still aren't so creative.

Songs for Christmas album - Sufjan Stevens

Noel album - Josh Groban

The Chipmunks: Greatest Christmas Hits album - Alvin & the Chipmunks

A Colbert Christmas album - Stephen Colbert

Christmas Song - Owl City

Winter Song - Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

A Great Big Sled - The Killers

put the "stud" in student, bitches.

Now that I'm in college I don't feel badass. I am badass. That's right. I live in a dorm. I eat in dining halls. Worship Colbert. Go to frat houses. Get sexiled. Talk to drunk people on the El. Get scammed by hobos selling The Onion. Discover The Onion is free everywhere else.

All I need is to go broke buying a belushi College poster. Wait, I opted for the cheaper Warhol plus Radiohead poster deal since I was near broke at the time. But now I'm broke. Yes!

Sometimes in Bible study, we talk about Revelations. It's my personal favorite to study since it's interesting, but also freaks me out. Especially when the teacher is one of those who believe it's happening right now. I dunno. But they talk about it like it's a real life a thriller, which is great because it gets us all excited.
