I'm sure you have loads of questions so I'm here to answer them for you. If you're reading this on Google reader, I advise you to go ahead and click the title link and see theses new changes for yourself.
Q: What did your old blog look like? I never paid attention like I should have.
A: Well, I forgive you, but here's a screen shot for you.
Q: Why is there a giant panda holding a Mexican flag included up there?
A: When Em asked me what new things I may want incorporated, I knew that I was going to miss those little Aztec looking birds and would need some kind of little animal to replace them. And also, who doesn't love cuddly pandas? They're one of my favorite animals. AND THEN, once she had actually designed it, this was her much better explanation: "the Mexican flag is because you are a Mexican trapped in an Asian body. Like this panda bear." Like duh.
Q: Why is that panda bear holding ice cream in his other hand?
A: My sister actually drew that panda on Illustrator and made the whole thing while we were still in Mexico. So she asked her little host sister what else he should be holding and she said "ice cream".Um, well, DUH. How fitting! I recently found out that ice cream is my actually my number one favorite food, especially Blue Bell. There, I said it. It's fine. First step is admitting it.
Q: Why did you pick that font?
A: Em designed the whole thing. Really. And she picked that part first, so once she said that and coupled it with the idea of putting a panda on there it just seemed to click. The letters are just so soft and cuddly and black and white, so a panda obvi belongs with it and all of it belongs on this blog.
Q: Why does it say 'post-grad edition' like that?
A: If you notice in my previous design, it had a tiny banner that said "Mexico Edition" because for the summer my posts were written in Mexico documenting my adventures there. Now I'm on to the life that follows college graduation and fun in Mexico. I may still write about a few Mexican vacations I failed to write about before, and most likely I will mention Mexico several more times because it's a part of my life now. But for the most part, I'll just stick with the events of my normal everyday post-grad American life.
Q: What is a palindrome?
A: I decided to save you all a little Googling and put the definition in my About Me section. It's quite elementary, but don't feel dumb if you don't already know. 87% of my readers usually don't know what it means at first.
Q: What's your new favorite song obsession since returning to America?
A: Funny you should ask that! I just can't stop listening to Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night". No, I'm really not joking with you. Can't. Stop. Won't. Stop. And I think the video is hilarious. (may not be appropriate for ages 12 and under)
Q: If the sweet Asian ladies at the nail salon point at your eyebrows and nod a lot, what do you do?
A: Well, if that were ever to happen to me, I'd most likely feel extremely self conscious and give in to a waxing right there and then. Too much pressure on the spot! And then perhaps, my eyebrows might be all pink and tender for the rest of the night, but boy they sure would look great in the end.
Q: On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you to be back in America? And to return to Provo in a few weeks?
A: 25 to the first, and 11 to the second. My future is as bright as my faith, and life is really good right about now.
Q: Aren't you really glad you're not starting school this week or next week like a lot of your peers?
A: OMG YES! Thank heavens most of my BFFLS have also graduated, so there will be so much playtime happening when I get back to Provo!
Q: How is your Macbook still functioning with all that power cord trouble you've been having?
A: Thankfully, Apple replaced it with a brand new one FREE OF CHARGE! But really, I owe my sister big time because she let me use hers tons before that happened.
Q:Why didn't you write a birthday post dedicated to your little sister on her 20th birthday?
A: I was too busy enjoying the Texas summer heat with raspas (snow cones) at the pool with her. And when I wasn't doing that, I was stuffing my face with American Italian food at Olive Garden with her and the rest of my lovely family. But I think I shall be doing a belated post rather soon, because gosh I sure do think the world of her! And this is my public note of gratitude for all of her hard work on this new header!
