The Life of an Egg

"In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and of no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again." -J.Agee

Name:
Location: Los Angeles, California

I am addicted to Flamin Hot Cheetos, goat cheese, rainbow sherbet, and hummus. I want to meet Paul Farmer. I can't touch library books because they smell. I have a tattoo of the tree of life on my back. I have a problem with picking at my nails when I'm nervous, stressed out, or bored. I am irrationally proud of being from California. One of my main goals in life is to be a good person. And finally, please don't ask for medical advice, especially if it involves any sort of discharge.

Introduction, Part 2

I'm sure you're all wondering why I chose the title "The Life of an Egg" and 1eggplant as my blogspot space. Dying of curiosity, aren't you? It's okay to admit it. Really.

I'll be generous and put you out of your misery. (Mainly because I need a break from reading medical school applications).
It goes all the way back to the summer before 10th grade. I was barely 15 and taking chemistry in summer school with a few of my closest most hilarious friends. We would blow things up, talk about how cute our teacher was, and plot evil ways to poison the annoying junior in our class. (We decided that pouring sulfuric acid in her drink would be too mean, so instead we stole her chemistry textbook two days before the final exam). I'm sorry, Kristina. (but you were kinda bitchy!)

That summer, my nickname became Eggplant because I like purple, Susan became Indigo Blu for who knows what random non sequiter reason, Susie became Tape Recorder because she was the only one in the group who actually took the class half-seriously. It sort of stuck, for a long while anyway. Then I became Eggy for short and only a select group of friends were allowed to call me that and it was especially cute because "eggy" in Korean happens to mean "baby" and everyone knows that I'm the biggest baby (who happens to be about to graduate medical school and become a gasp, pediatrician!) you'll ever meet.

That, my friends, is why this is about the life of an egg.

Scrolling back, I find that this site is seriously lacking in some pictures. My original intent was to share my love of photography and look I've only rambled on about stupid stuff!

So here is one from Millenium Park:
