The meaning behind my new middle name
Today, I officially changed my name from “Annie Wang” to “Annie Chandler Wang” :) At right is the court document declaring my new legal name!
Why the name Chandler?
I felt that the opportunity of giving myself a name was of once-in-a-lifetime significance. So I’ve been looking very carefully for names that would capture my personal aspirations and embody the...

my thoughts about Google+
reposted from my email to a discussion group i’m a part of.

the sweetness of sleeplessness
right now:
feeling emo and lonely
photographs of people who used to populate my life flashing in my mind
the moods of Lolita and The Count of Monte Cristo reverberating strongly in my head
the desire to write poetry or song
being disappointed
remaining stiff, being afraid to move on the bed lest I disturb my friend

I tend to like or reblog:
Stuff that is super colorful bordering on cartoon-ish
Stuff with lots of implied 3-D geometry, especially perpendicular angles
Stuff with space imagery, especially stars and dust rendered in teals and magentas
What about you?

Read on for accountability’s sake if you have time. This was my dream on May 24, 2011, between midnight at 2 AM, and recorded within one hour of waking.
I was in the company of friends, sharing stories and enjoying good fellowship together. Before we parted ways that night, I suggested that we take a group panoramic to commemorate the occasion. This was greeted with a round of approving...
