You need to take a picture of ultra side kick...
Remember! we are korean... we are good at kicking thing...
Also, Lisa constantly rejects my proposals for Friendster testimonials, which is in itself an eloquent testimonial to her exacting standards and integrity. The inevitable rejection of this testimonial as well proves the point further (though, sadly, only if no one is able to read it).
i'm happy for ya (maybe a lil
jealous...) all that suffering makes it
that much sweeter huh? =) i known lisa
since freshman year in college which was
um... nm... she is da COOLeST cuz she
makes funny jokes and she used to skate
w/ me and sometimes she has red
hair...she's called me oppa before even
though she's only like 2 weeks younger
than me but that's all good.. so yeah if
you don't know lisa you are missing out
BIG TIME!
remember reading in a book by umberto
eco called "travels in hypereality,"
this line-"whether it is high art or low
art, it's still art." sorry to get your
panties in a wad...
steered me away from those with the
shivering cold hands
over ignited trash cans and knife
wielding shadowy desperate street
punks sensing my midwest
cluelessness. Wherever we went I felt
safe with her, even though she stands
a full foot below
my sightline. In turn I inadvertently
rescued her from being victim #14 at
the hands of a cabbie
with unseemly intentions. Jump four or
so years later.....we've shared hard
liquor, nicotine
overdosing, we've seen most of the
beautiful view points above
Hollywood..seeking abandoned
mansions to make our lazy boys while
the sparkling city lights below
glitter like a laugh track to
a well written sitcom. She knits, she
breakdances, she's a dj making mix
tapes specially
designed as intimate whispering
conversations for when she's terribly
far away...
possibly jetsetting since she always
seems to be in a new exotic city,
teaching, absorbing, charming,
befriending, undoubtedly breaking many
a heart....because at some point she
will have to go back home.
cooler than you'll ever be.
ORIGINAL testimony, but yes, I must
voice my agreement with the
testimonial below from a Ms.
"Hannah" that the laugh-rasp is
wonderful! But this is merely the
surface of the glistening iceberg that
is Lisa Kim. Friendly, yet capable of
sarcasm, and nearly as concerned
about things as I am, Lisa is
(figuratively speaking) a 10-story slab
of ice nestled deep below the
sparkling ocean surface (which
means, she is lots of fun to be
around, which makes me wish we
lived closer together). And,
furthermore--check out that purple
scarf [comment subject to
obsolescence if photo is changed].
(RIP, Notorious), she works a "Magic
Stick" with 50 Cent and she once showed
up to the Grammys with her titty
hangin' out. How f'in cool is th?...
Oh wait, wrong Lil' Kim...
