I'm totally down. They're trying to target celebrities/internet celebs to get the word out to as many people as possible. Good thing I post frequently on my blog, which is extremely well-known (by the 2.5 readers who happen to come across it once in their lives by sheer dumb luck ;)). Good thing I have a Twitter account. Good thing I post regularly on Facebook and have a bajillion two hundred and three friends who all comment and read my posts. Yeah, I'm pretty much set.... Japan or bust, baby.
P.S. In case you don't believe me, here's the actual article:

P.P.S. You actually have good reason not to believe me, because I lied about three things on this post....(see above paragraph)
Visiting Japan has always been my dream. Actually, visiting any eastern Asian country is my dream. I would lovelovelove to live there one day; I'm not picky about where, specifically- I just know I want to live somewhere in China, or Japan, or Taiwan, or Thailand, or South Korea (North Korea's a little sketch-sketch at the moment, in case you're spending more time than me in the musty fluorescent-lit basement of the USU library these days, which is actually where I'm writing this ha how embarrassing)
The plan is to take Mandarin Chinese next semester, so China would probably be a pretty good place to live, considering my plan. I would love that. A real dream of mine would be to work for the U.S. Foreign Service in China. That would be beyond cool.
<-- That's where I'll be going. NBD.Can't wait for this to happen. Sometimes, it's so hard to wait and just enjoy life now. I just want things to be sped up by a few years, ya know? I mean, my life is fantastic right now-- couldn't ask for much more, except maybe a good pair of winter boots. I have nothing to complain about, but I do sometimes find myself wishing that I could skip ahead to the part of my life where I'm some big-shot, traveling the world, speaking 5 different languages, buying expensive clothes all around the globe, and eating divine delicacies from all over. Yeah, that'll be the life.
Of course, my life now really isn't bad at all: I am taking the most interesting classes ever (I'm completely biased) Macroeconomics 1500, Intro to International Politics 2100, Sociology 1010, Business Statistics 2300, Creative Arts 1330, and Yoga 1010 (hands down best class ever)
I'm also doing research for these professors who are presenting to Congress in D.C. and I might be going with them sometime or something... (OH MY FREAK, IS THAT NOT THE COOLEST THING EVER?!!?!?!?!?!)
I have the best friends in the world, who are so so so much fun. Seriously, I don't think you could have funnier, nicer, and overall better friends. My friends have shaped me so much in helping deal with hard things in my life, strengthening my testimony of the gospel, and reminding me to have fun and loosen up. They are positively incredible. Really. (I would post a picture, but I don't have one with everyone that needs to be there in it. Awkward...)
I have the most wonderful family. CONFESSION: this maybe will sound a baby bit pathetic, but sometimes, I turn down invitations to go hang out on the weekend, just so I can play with the fam. They're too much fun.
Also, I'm in a bunch of clubs that make my schedule that much more hectic, but so much fun. I'm seriously in love with life at the moment. It's too great.
To add to all of that, it's fall, which is my favorite in the world. It's gorgeous outside-- even when it's raining. And I have a crush on scarves, trench coats, pea coats, coats in general, boots, gloves (particularly, red gloves) and hats.
