Family is great.
You know those get-togethers where all the family comes and it's usually all older people?
Yeah, those.
I l-o-v-e those. It's the only time where people ask you questions or put you in weird situations.
I had one of those situations today. And honestly it wasn't awkward but their reaction was priceless. The question was, if I had a man yet or not. And I said I've never had one. The person questioning me was speechless. Then it was all 'good girl' and 'you don't need a man.' I feel like only family would ask that question, or older people at least.
But there's been other situations similar to that one that were slightly more awkward and you have to laugh it off. Got to love family, right? But those situations/topics are what makes those get-togethers interesting. ^-^

Chopsticks
It's official. I'm addicted to these things!
It's so bad that I cook noodles just so I can use them! And when the meal is something I can't use chopsticks with I get disappointed. I'm so strange, I know! But I blame it on my fasination for Asian culture. I say Asian because I love Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. I love the Chinese language (and their invention of chopsticks); I love Japanese Manga and anime, and Korean music and variety shows are amazing! Sometimes I feel like I was an Asian born into an American body.
Anyways, chopsticks...love them. I don't know how I've survived so long without them. ;)

你好
I just put 'hello' in Chinese! Nǐ hǎo is the pinyin instead of the characters above. ^-^
I'm learning just how hard that language is! I've studied for a long time today and feel so...bleh afterwards. Almost like an information overload. It's pretty insane. But I've learned a lot. And I look forward to the day where I can speak fluently.
When that happens I will most definitely learn Korean next. I'd like to be able to read their tweets in Twitter and be able to watch a video without looking for the English subs. It's going to be awhile...but it will be worth it in the end.
Speaking of Twitter, I just joined. Like, 30 min ago. Follow me? You know you want tooooo.
