Too much spare time?
Assumptions: an entry all about me. :)

A lot of people comment to me that I have too much spare time, since I spend them writing the types of entries that I do. However — what is it about my entries that makes it look like I actually take time on it?

Unlike many people who blog, I guess, I DO think in paragraphs — so my written entries actually only take about 10-15 minutes to write. As for the the entries with modified pictures — come on now, I’ve been doing web design and web development for 8 years (yes, since I was 14) and had my first taste of adobe photoshop 3 at the age of 15 — do you think it takes any time for me at all to scribble shit on a picture?

All defense aside, I notice that it’s not only me that gets these types of comments — the more prominent people are in their blogging, the more they get this question. So to settle this once and for all, I’d like to say: if taking an extra five minutes of my time to think of something thought provoking from my day to write, as opposed to writing about my day itself means that I have too much spare time, then perhaps I do.

But for those of you who think I spend too much time — what do YOU do with those five minutes?


What I do
Who I am

Another question I receive often that is along the same lines is “What do you do all day?” and “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?” So, to acquiesce to your demands, even though I try to write as little about that kind of stuff as possible, I will tell you. Will it make you understand me more? Probably not, but it’s worth a try, right?

On Monday-Friday I work at this company from 9-12. From 12:30-6 I work at this company. For the first company, I make online tutorials, for the second I do web development.

In my spare time, I knit, sew, work on my webpage (www.madpimp.com) watch anime, sex and the city, and friends. I like to play poker, go clubbing, and I read a LOT.

For the past 4 years I’ve belonged to a community service club (www.ucicirclek.org, part of the KEY Club/KIWANIS family) — this is my first year not in a position, but I’ve had the priviledge of serving as Lieutenant Governer, Spirit Chair, and California Nevada Hawaii District Technology chair.

I spend copious amounts of time with Lan (formerly Sup007).

And sometimes, when I’m not too tired of the internet from being the computer the whole day at work, I go online and scribble some bullshit that people happen to read.

Things I don’t do: Clean my room. Take shits every day. Talk to my family.

OH — and since someone asked me if I was white, here’s the most recent pic of myself that I could find — the reason I’m not looking at the camera is cuz there’s porno on the computer screen. It wasn’t very good porno, though. I’m disappointed.


(I don’t look 22, do I…? no wonder I kept getting carded in Vegas)

And… that’s all, folks!

What do YOU do all day?

What do i do all day? i read your blog. ]=)I used to get questioned about where I found the time to blog or create random graphics too. The answer is easy: I don’t watch T.V.in my opinion, creative development is way more constructive than sitting on your ass in front of a TV for 3 hours.

ryc: i guess shi, then i’d just add that not acting on it isn’t enough. we must actively seek to rid ourselves of those racist thoughts and feelings. simply not acting on them isn’t enough. otherwise, we let room for such philosophy to dwell inside. we must change our minds…not necessarily just our actions.i usually enjoy your entries, but i think the reaction and message that was getting across from this one was one that promoted racism and made it okay for people to be so. sometimes, our intentions do not completely formulate into what is produced.i also hope you don’t take any of these internet ramblings personally. i think we’d probably get along if we met in person. take it easy.

Why are typical Koreans so fucked up?

There isn’t one guy I know who has dated a Korean girl and wasn’t screwed over royally
well your dad did.. and he didn’t get screwed over. yep your half korean. no wonder your so hypocritical and bitchy.
peace out bff!!!!!!

July 30, 2005 @ 9:04 am

lol compared to a lot of other bloggers, your entries don’t look very time-consuming at all.  you’ll always get some kind of unfair opinion from someone, so don’t even mind them.
how can you NOT make $$$ when you work 40+ hours a week for two web companies?
i remember going to circle k a few times at uci.. not really my cup of tea.  been going to my students’ high school key club events though.
good to see you open up about yourself, even if it was triggered by agitation :] have a good weekend!

Damn, there are so many more interesting people at UCI. Too bad I would be paying six times what I did to go to my state school.
So people are actually asking if Kim Nguyen is white? Some very observant and well-cultured people out there. I just sit on my ass all day and wait for the day that paramedics will have to haul me out of my house through a window because I’m too fat to fit through a door and I’m too heavy to breathe on my own.

yes, you are correct.  i get that question a lot too.  in fact, i was gonna write a blog about this too but it looks like you beat me to it.

Sit on my ass, maybe go to the book store, clean a little, dinner with friends later on.
I tend to basically think in lists, so don’t feel bad.

“She didn’t understand what I meant when I told her that she shouldn’t write off all rock music as stupid, because albeit there’s much stupid rock, there’s stupid everything else, too…. So I apologized for assuming that she had a brain even though she wrote like a 4 year old”
^funny
why do all you older people sound so intelligent?
i write more or less like an angst-ridden male adolescent with severe emotional instability leading to suicidal tendencies.
or in other words, i write like a guy.
oh, by the way, this prop is something motivated out of pure boredom, due to the fact my family abandoned me for 3 hours.
(^-^)
and i dont think im a typical korean….
i hope.
ah well, ive wasted enough of your time.

I like to sit in front of my windows and look outside down towards the streets. Then I count how many times one of the cops in my town pulled another bad NJ driver over. It’s funny how every single time the cops will have to get on their loud speak to tell the guys they just pulled over to “…NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR OR ELSE I’M GOING TO SHOOT YOU!” It’s especially funny when the cops actually reach for their guns when the drivers continues to insist on bringing their license and registration over to the cop no matter how many times they’re told not to do that!

I consider your post gospel…I think it is awesome to use this arena as a forum for your thoughts rather then a chronological listing of your day. I get so tired of posts that have no value at all behind what is being said. I DO spend a lot of time on my site, but not on the actual post, but on thinking like a journalist for something worthwile for my subscribers to read and laugh, or think, or look at. And if you DID spend a lot of time on your site, who is to say that is a bad use of time, I can’t think of anything more substantial or lasting to do with a half hour everyday. BTW I stumbled hear wanering around Xanga…stop by and leave me some Eprops.   -Andrew

hi there,
I haven’t logged onto Xanga for a long time and today is perhaps the odd day that I do. Well, guess what? You’re site was the first one that I visisted. The comments that people leave you are so provoking and are opinionated and it’s something that we all expect, considering that this is the internet. Hmmm, you seem.. I don’t know if this is correct or not, but you seem quite passive.. And I don’t mean to offend you in anyway, but you don’t show any aggression or any indication that you want to retaliate… In a way, that’s good becuase you understand that this is the internet and there’s no point in debating over senseless things.. But anyhow, I thought that I should leave you a word or two.. Hope you don’t mind.. Btw, you don’t look white.. You big eyes and light skin, but you don’t look white.. Perhaps korean….

I waited for fucking ever for you to update your Xanga and then you put together one of the most short-sighted, hateful posts about “typical Korean women” and how they’re bitches.  I think you thought if you modified your description to “typical” you could get away with what you said, but I disagree wholeheartedly.  The least you could do was delineate what you meant by “typical”.  Instead you made some passionate attempt at justifying your racist tendencies.  It was my take that everyone had their inherent biases or racism.  I guess at least you do.  Watch for my next post as I state my hate for the aborigine.

Ah Kim…How I’ve longed to be your boy-toy bitch. You dig asian guys as boyfriends. But maybe a blue eyed white boy could share some time with you anyway.  We could become very close if you just ask  It would be magical.  ;)

Hello Ms. Shi,
I like your site. You worked hard to make it interesting and personal. I see that you have a lot of friends here. I don’t get too many comments but I make people think.
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Jesus gave us a message of hope that is in the Bible: “And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then, finally, the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) (NLT) I hope you get a chance to look at them.

if i’ve asked those questions, it’s because i’m curious. i used to blog a lot too, but when my schedule became packed, i had to cut down on writing.
kenshin rules too. i have all 95 (?) episodes and 2 movies. i love the story arc with Shishio

don’t you find it funny that people tell you you need to get a life or take too much time…yet they’re on here. So what does that say about them? I find it ridiculous. Like I tell my parents just be happy I’m not smoking cracking or standing out on a corner.

i shit at least 5 times a day.  I shit so much now, I’m afraid to leave the house if I don’t shit before.  My sphincter muscles aren’t so great anymore.
I also masturbate about 6 times a day too.  My vibrator gets a lot of play.
