the blog, the blogger.

the blogger>>>>>> My name is Joyce. I'm seventeen. This is my personal blog.

And so goes a standard introduction. I guess you could say personality-wise, I'm a simple person. I like to keep everything without the fluff and the glitter.

And so says the person who is also proclaimed to be the most verbose person around. I have a very roundabout way of saying things, and I never get to the point until I'm five paragraphs in. This is the exception.

But yes, hello. Here are some blatant facts listed out for you about me so you can make assumptions to your heart's content. Please, go ahead.

• I'm quiet when left alone, and neurotic and irritable when conversed with. 
• I have no self-esteem. 
• I am constantly afraid of failure and disappointing others. This has stunted much of my emotional growth. Just kidding. But seriously.
• I have been told I'm self-deprecating. 
• I think I'm funny.
• But I'm not.
• I like fashion and literature and films. I also like analyzing everything to death, which means I don't have many friends.
• I also write on occasion. Those occasions have been known to take place when a blue whale eats a mermaid.

Oh you meant basic facts, like I'm Korean and I live in California? Oops, my bad. 

the blog>>>>>> This blog is one dedicated to a single year of my life, covered from multiple aspects. From summer 2014 to summer 2015, this is the place where I'll keep track of the numerous parts of my life, from beginning to end. So in essence, a personal blog.

The question is thus asked: Why? Why this specific time?

This year is, arguably, an incredibly important one in terms of my personal timeline. The transition from child to semi-childish adult. What a movement. Basically, I'm graduating from high school this year, and keeping track of the various occurrences and trends might be one of the more valuable things I do for myself in terms of nostalgic content. Again, so it goes.

the name>>>>>> Indecisive Planning are two words that most people can relate to, especially when put together. And of course, the phrase is synonymous to my situation right now. When transitions come, so does indecisive planning.

an end note for good measure>>>>>>For those of you interested in wading through the content and actually reading the terms of my life, I suppose you might as well understand what you're getting into. As a person who files under multiple categories (i.e., female, South Korean, teenager, student, etc.), there are many things I would like to talk about.

From relationships to fashion, from study freak outs to family musings, it's all here. Every single part of my life, from beginning to end, from my pre-senior summer self to the post graduate.

Welcome to my life.
