A reason to move?

For the past month I’ve had a stuffy nose and swollen left eye. It doesn’t bother me too much— I can still see my com­puter screen and the swelling is not that notice­able— but I went to get it checked out by my eye doc­tor for reassurance.

I’ve never had aller­gies before, so I was pretty sur­prised when she told me that there’s some­thing in the San Fran­cisco air that I’m aller­gic to. I asked her if I moved to some place else, say, Paris or NY, would I be cured? And she said maybe! It depends on what’s there. I under­stood this to mean yes.

Lately I’ve been try­ing to think of what I’m exposed to on a daily basis here, that I was not in Los Angeles:

1. Clean air
2. Fog
3. Cal­i­for­nia Cui­sine
4. Walk­ing long dis­tances (i.e. two blocks or more)
5. Home­less people

I’m going to have an allergy test done in two months so we’ll see if my guesses are correct.

First time for everything

When I went to use the pub­lic restroom there was a line for the men’s, but no line for the women’s.

Hi, I'm Mindy. People who meet me and then happen to stumble upon my blog are usually surprised that I have things to say because I'm quiet. Yes, I actually have thoughts. I have feelings and emotions too, believe it or not. more ↓

People who know me will say that I’m loud, too nice for my own good, and show signs of someone with a mild case of autism.

I grew up with two older brothers and no friends, which means my childhood was spent bouncing between PC, NES, and Playstation games. I consider myself a casual gamer– I never leave home without my DS. My favorite video game character will always be Quina Quen from Final Fantasy 9.

Once upon a time, I studied abroad in Paris and loved it so, so much. I think about Paris on a bi-hourly basis. I now live in San Francisco, but hope to move to New York someday.

The name of my website comes from a Teen Girl Squad episode.

I love pugs, Kinder Eggs, traveling, and shy people.

I don’t like spiders, horseradish, driving, and being shy. less ↑
