LFL: Fun, Eccentric Non-conformist

000 Something About Myself: Extremely lazy but work well under pressure; enjoy baking at own leisure. Bed must be neat and tidy… and surrounded by stuffed animals.

My Language: I am originally from a small village in China, then traveled to a small city in Los Angeles called San Gabriel, which is still filled with my own kind- Asians. I consider myself to be a dorky Asian rebel that still goes to the temple with my mom every year. I tend to talk very fast with my close friends, which are also Asians. Also, I often slur my words simply because I am too lazy to enunciate every word.

Favorite Movies: 1) White Chicks

2) A Walk to Remember

3) Death at a Funeral

Favorite Word: Dumpling. A simple word that sounds cute and delicious. The outside may seem plain and boring, but as you bite into it, you will taste different kinds of yummy-ness.

My Ideal Linguistic Adventure: We would be walking down a crowded street in Paris speaking French and enjoying dessert at a cute coffee shop. Then we would be in an isolated island in Japan enjoying nature and listening to the natives speak Japanese. 

How is Linguistics like a Pine Cone? A pine cone is defined as: the conical or rounded woody fruit of a pine tree, with scales that open to release the seeds. Linguistics is similar in the sense that there are many branches and categories. Pine cones contain the reproductive structure of a pine tree, while Linguistic Reproduction plays a major role in the evolution of language groups.

    2) :D

    Have you read the novel?

    what is your preferred version of “Only Hope” – Mandy Moore or Switchfoot?

    I don’t have a favorite scene or part per say; I guess I like the part where Jaime tells Landon what she has through the ending.
