hmm... counting my own interviews, i'd have to say masi oka from heroes. i have a picture up in my cubicle from when we met and EVERYBODY knows who he is. not counting interviews, i once stalked bruce willis for part of an afternoon while shopping for prom dresses in soho, but i didn't really meet him. oh, but huz introduced me to marques houston back when we lived in la and i almost died.

aww, i would've gone for the burger to make up for the toast with nutella, but that's probably why my weight gain is not showing any signs of slowing... =( what's for dinner? we're having leftover pad thai. wheeeeeee

yup. it was kind of an old-school way of establishing paternity to my family's satisfaction, even though huz (back when he was bf or baby daddy) had to sign papers at her birth in order for it to really count.

Drown and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I can read anything by Junot Diaz over and over and over again.
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. Atwood is another one of my favorite writers and this book in particular reminds me of some of my own troubled relationships.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Not to be so anti-Oprah, but I DID read this before it was an Oprah Book Club book.
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Janie is one of my favorite fictional women of all time.
I'm Every Woman by Lonnae O'Neal Parker. Best book on motherhood I think I've ever read.
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. Love all of his other work, but this was the o.g. work.
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Again, listing this because I love his work, but my favorite essays are scattered across several books. -
Indeed we are. We might start trying again this summer (the pressure from fam has been mounting ever since we got married) but it sort of hinges upon whether or not I'll be going back to school.
Back when Hugga was a babe and my head was off somewhere in la la land, I thought we might be a three-child family. I actually imagined us having one more biological child, then maybe adopting from Korea way down the line. But I had no idea how expensive adoption was. And honestly? I might only have it in me to handle one more toddlerhood. Shit is exhausting.
I really can't imagine myself going through two more separate childbirths in my lifetime. That said, I always thought it'd be cool if we had twins in the next go, but you know, que sera sera... -
There are many with Huz I remember, but the one that leaves me with the fuzziest feelings was the first one we went on after the positive pregnancy test. We walked along Third Street and the Santa Monica Pier. We hadn't yet decided what we were going to do or what our future entailed, and he was probably scared out of his wits, but I think that state of limbo made it extra sweet to me.

I've taken it a couple times over the years and have most often gotten ENFP, but have occasionally gotten INFP during depressive episodes.
ENFP: ENFPs are introspective, values-oriented, inspiring, social and extremely expressive. They actively send their thoughts and ideas out into the world as a way to bring attention to what they feel to be important, which often has to do with ethics and current events. ENFPs are natural advocates, attracting people to themselves and their cause with excellent people skills, warmth, energy and positivity. ENFPs are described as creative, resourceful, assertive, spontaneous, life-loving, charismatic, passionate and experimental.
INFP: INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginitive, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal. -

This is like my nightmare shopping scenario! I love the Tokidoki bags more, but at this point my collection is just out of control. Since HK is known the world over and is much easier to find (and cheaper), I'd stick with my first kawaii love. =)

The first two off the top of my head (and also closest to my heart) are Kimora Lee Simmons and Miss Info of Hot97.
I've poked a lot of fun at Kimora in my earlier blogging days, but I've always found a lot to admire about her. She has incredible business savvy and she's unapologetic about pretty much everything. I know she's rich enough to have a nanny and her kids by her side at all times, but I love that she's also mad vocal about her working-mom status and how hard she has to hustle to balance both sides of her life.
I had a lunch interview with Info back when I was at the magazine and found her to be really intelligent, street-wise, personable, and down to earth. Also, beautiful. She's a petite Asian American woman who's very well respected in the hip hop universe, and she's neither a rapper nor a video "vixen." I envy her career and the level of respect she gets from the hip hop community. -
wow, that is awesome... i don't know how to respond!
i want to say thank you, but it was all a dream. -

To quote Biggie, if I gotta choose a coast, I gotta choose the east!
Um, not really. LOL.
I am so over this damn snow. We are hoping to make moves back to Los Angeles posthaste! -
Wow. I've never done a retrospective, all-inclusive look at my dating history, so this is kind of interesting.
The easy answer is that Huz probably tops both lists. We met when we were teens (I was 18, he was 19), he was my first love, and he crushed my fragile, young heart. But hey, now we're married and have this awesome kid, so I'm not even sure it's fair to go down that path.
As for the others...
<b>Best</b>: I do a lot of eye rollin and brushing off whenever his name comes up in our house (I'm still a fan of his music), but second to my wonderful husband is The Rapper. It was a purely positive experience, there was absolutely no drama, and outside of Huz, he's the only other guy with whom I naturally clicked. If not for the circumstances (mostly his career and my being hung up on the guy I'm now married to), I think we could've stayed friends for a long time.
The irony, of course, is that I first became interested in his career and a fan of his music way before I even met him <i>because he actually reminded me of Huz</i>.
<b>Worst</b>: In retrospect, most of my dating experiences have been pretty run-of-the-mill. The guy I would've considered my worst a few years ago, whom I dated before I even met Huz, has since made amends. And nine years later (wow, has it really been that long?), I actually have a lot of fond memories of the shit I went through with him; I might even credit him with turning me into a writer.
My true "worst" at this point was actually pretty tame. We dated for barely a month, he's the one who started seeing other people and dumped me, and yet somehow I couldn't get him to stop calling or emailing me for an entire year. And he emailed me about a year later saying something along the lines of, "I just got married this weekend and I thought of you." Who does shit like that? -
I don't think your college major will matter, so long as you can get across that you're a clear communicator and a good writer, and how your education in Psychology helped you better understand how people process information efficiently. Tailor your resume to emphasize your communication skills and technical knowledge.
Also, look for job postings EVERYWHERE -- not just the requisite monster.com but the postings of every big company in your area. I didn't find my job listed under its own name, as it's a subsidiary of a bigger company in health care.
I'm still new to the field myself, but I hope this is at least a bit helpful! =) -
I no longer breastfeed but we do still co-sleep. If there's anything specific I can help you with, definitely drop me a line at theresa[at]singlespaced[dot]com! Are you trying to cope with weaning your daughter, getting her to sleep in another bed (which I'm still trying to figure out myself), or coping with other people's comments about how you're raising your daughter? Sorry to answer your question with another question!

Anything I could possibly fear all boils down to self-esteem and self-worth. From playing the damsel in distress, to forming a drug habit, to developing an eating disorder, to being in an abusive relationship... People fall into those traps because they don't feel good enough or strong enough to make it on their own.
Being that she's a girl and a person of color, she's especially susceptible to being othered and marginalized. I'm hyperaware of this, and if I could just teach her that she can trust herself, that she can make the right decisions and accomplish anything she wants to by her own accord, that she is loved for exactly who she is, then I'll consider it a success.
I'm not sure I fear it necessarily; I just know I can't fail her here. I'm human so there will be days where I just drop the ball and disappoint her; I just hope I never fuck up so bad that she questions my love for her. -
anything is possible!
but in my experience... no. i lived with my mac enthusiast for less than six months before i converted. your love for your operating system versus for your significant other is a very delicate balance. =)
