Me: “How, do you feel?”
Paige: “I’m so happy! Now we don’t have to move to Canada!”
Last night Paige and I watched the television news coverage of the election results. We were both on edge of our seats at first but that quickly turned into hope when key battleground states started turning blue. Hope transitioned into disbelief (what? over so soon?) and was then quickly replaced by joy when we realized that McCain was conceding. When I turned to Paige after his concession speech she had tears streaming down her face at full force.
Now I have seen my daughter cry a lot over the last 14 years and from experience I have found that tears generally fall for the following three reasons:

In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

This is the personal website of Giyen Kim. I use this space to let off steam and write exceedingly bad prose.
For all intents and purposes, I can be best described as a writer, foodie, web designer, humorist, and news junkie. I am also a big dreamer and lover of all people. This means you too.
And case you were wondering, yep that's me up there rockin the Buster Browns and modified Dorthy Hamill haircut. As you can tell, my parents were unusually cruel. This would probably explain why I spend most mornings hiding under the covers, wishing that it was Sunday.
