Hello everyone. It's me Again.

Right now, I'm at one of my favorite NUNA's dorm room, just hanging out doing nothing! (are you feeling better now, ONbike nim? haha)
Thanks for all of the great replies. I really appreciate all of you. Especially onbike nim, thank you for the letter.

Ok. I want to talk about freedom.
I guess I grew up with some more freedom than any other typical Korean youngsters. My parents are lineant in some ways, and also the environment helped me shaping my personality. However, as I grew up to be an young adult, problems arose in finding my identity. I guess most of the 'typical' people tend to roup themselves into a certain group. But I couldn't find one. There was close to no one who understood my freedom, lifestyle, mind, and especially art. Wait, actually art was one of the only way to express and communicate to the outer world. Several of you have visited my old Studio, and I only invite someone who I wouldn't mind knowing who I really am. It's like that. I close myself bec ause of my freedom. It's true that it helped me shaping my unique characteristic in both personality and artistic ability, but I often felt lonely and that is one of the reason contributed to my Melancholy... Anyhow, I got a great story. Coming in to one of the world's best art school, I'm free from the sterotypes and close mind to the society. I met great friends here. We are all from different background, but one thing combines us together, art. My roommate is an esctasy, music, sex and marijuana lover, he grew up from disfunctional family in Kalamazoo. he listens to House and Trance music, and will be a composer someday. He likes Bjork, Radiohead, Basquiat, and modern art. I grew up in Korea and California, and I'm a bike, art history, and RIS lover, and grew up in a pretty much a "happy family", and I listen to black music.Most important of all, I like expressionistic art, Chagall, Munch, and Nam June Paik. We are so different. If we set beside each other in a subway, we probably didn't have any topic to talk about other than the weather. But We both love music, and we grew up with certain freedom. Just that simple reason combines us together well. It's amazing how well I get along with my roommater. And I'd like to mention the 'freedom' again. Being free in one wasy or another, I think one can be more open. Open to other culture, people, and art. All of you, walbaks... You are free, at least in one way. I still remember seeing your excited face when we were riding Ansan. The face that is washed off from the hard day's work and the endless lights of the dirty city. Don't be envious to me. I am as free as you are, and You can be as free as me. Oh my god. I feel like I'm preaching to walba sun bae nims, and Hyung nims, I apologize for the misbehavior. (see! my freedom leads me to wrong directions some times! haha) I think this letter is just way too ridiculous, I'm sorry, but that wouldn't stop me from posting this piece of junk. Haha.

Sorry Olive nim. How would I forget you, thinking that I just had another cup of your nokcha. Haha. I have to explain my situation. I usually use friend's computer. One of them has a computer that I can type in Korean. Another one's comp cn only read Korean, and thisone can't neither read nor write. I don' thi I'll buy a computer in a while , g4 is way too expensive, and I don't really need one. haha.
I'm still riding my lovely red bike all the time. I probably can't survive my first year in college without my bike. haha. Because I always wake up 5 minutes before the lecture starts, and it takes 15 minutes to the school from the dorm. And! by all of the riding techniques -.-;; that I learned from WAWO nim, Han Chang Hee nim, I get there in 2 minutes. haha... I better stop doing it, because I'm risking my life. haha...
Ok. enough of Suda~ It's 12 pm, and I'm still in all girl room. haha...

Take cares all of you! and I'll send the picture of me and my red bike as soon as possible~!
