Ugh I want Bi Bim Bap so badly. (dol sot is even better!)

The first time I had it was in a little place in Flushing (Queens NY) outside of Chinese school. My sister took me as she'd been eating more adventurously than I and it was tear jerkingly, face burningly DELICIOUS. Since then I've had painful relations with flavor versus pain and then of course the mad dash to the toilet 6hrs or so later. If you wanted to cleanse the colon and burn your bum at the same time, by all means very spicy kim chi and all that is what those dreams are made of.

I digress. The mixture of textures, the kind of raw yolk over crunchy who knows what and leaft veggies and the shredded meat and ugh the spicy sauce and you mix it all together and it's wondrous.

Because this is a first journal I feel like writing about "firsts"

words: hell if I know. Probably my rendition of "hello" which was more "heeeh-ooo"

steps: at 12.5 months old. I would hold onto anything I could for balance and after many months, I let go.

crush: kindergarten, and he sat next to me on the mini bus

kiss: 8th grade and it was super sketchy

present from Mother Nature: my 12th birthday while having sushi with my family and I cried my eyes out while screaming bloody murder

heart : senior year

beer: had a sip from my dad's when I was 3 and since then I've never touched the foul drink of choice for po' undergrads or fratties.
