Hullo!

Hello worldwide internets! My name is Soyoung, and I am very happy to meet you! I am one of three collaborators for this wonderful piece of cyberspace and would love to introduce myself to you with totally relevant but random facts. Need to know.

1. Do you like chinese food? Yes I certainly do! Panda Express and the legit Chinese food. :) My family loves to cook!
2. Favorite comedian? I'd say Demetri Martin. His stuff's really awkward/nerd funny, which is right up my alley! And I mean, c'mon:
That's some funny stuff right there.

3. What kind of jelly do you like on your PB & J sandwich? I am very picky with the jelly- it can only be strawberry! Grape tastes like medicine, raspberry has too many seeds, and I haven't tried anything else..
4. Favorite ice cream? Mint chocolate chip fo shizzle. But it has to be green or else I won't eat it. Seriously.
5. Tell me a random fact: I'm only 5'1 and I'm 99% sure I've stopped growing.
6. Pick a movie quote: "She looks like she's 11 years old, dude." "I can wait! I solemnly swear to save myself for her." "I can see how that would be difficult for you." - From Kick A**. It was so funny, you had to see the whole thing. :)
7. Favorite quote: "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness..." -Sam Levenson (Also Audrey Hepburn's favorite poem!)
8. Name a couple of favorite colors: Black, Green (Jade, Emerald, and a Mossy Green), Red, and White!
9. Favorite Dave Matthews Band song (if you have one?) I actually lurve the whole Groo Grux King Album. Very snazzy.
10. Favorite online store: Modcloth.com!
11. Favorite music genre: It's always changing- it used to be punk/scene stuff, then alternative to big band/jazz, then pop, it's all over the place! I like all genres, but polka seems a little harrowing to me...
12. All-time favorite blogger: Just about every day I check http://www.keikolynn.blogspot.com/ . She seems so sweet and humble, I've always wanted to meet her!
12. Favorite clothing brand: Like, high end would be Alexander McQueen. His stuff was just art- I loved the theatricality of all of his clothes! Realistically, my favorite brand is anything you can get at a thrift store. :)
13. Describe your personal style in three words: Clean, classic, comfy. Alliteration WIN.

And that would be my survey! I hope you got some useful tidbits of information and check out some of the stuff I put. They're good. No biased opinion.

First time bloggin' and a survey! :)

Hello bloggers and I guess a welcome to the Sandal Girls blog. I am totally new to this whole blogging experience yes, I read blogs but I have never been a blogger. I guess I'll just skip all the boring stuff and get right to the survey! My name is Sierra by the way, and I am but one of three bloggers on this blog (that's a mouthful). And now the little get-to-know your blogger survey :)

1. Do you like chinese food? Ohhhh yes!
2. Favorite comedian? Don't really watch comedians but if comedian like actors count then Jim Carrey
3. What kind of jelly do you like on your PB & J sandwich? Usually just grape but peach is also delicious
4. Favorite ice cream? Cappuchino crunch, really anything with coffee ice cream or chocolate
5. Tell me a random fact: My first best friend's name was Nino. I came up with this fact so quickly because we have had to do random facts every day in english for the past three weeks
6. Pick a movie quote: "Hey James Bond, in America we drive on the right side of the road."
7. Favorite quote: "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible!' " -Audrey Hepburn
8. Name a couple of favorite colors: pink, blue, aquamarine
9. Favorite Dave Matthews Band song (if you have one?) I have heard of the band but don't listen to them avidly so no favorite song
10. Favorite online store: asos
11. Favorite music genre: I really like it all except classical, country, screamo, death metal. Okay so maybe not all. I guess I'm more alternative rock, pop, songs on the radio, and anything you can dance to.
12. All-time favorite blogger: I don't follow too many blogs but I always look for new posts by abutterflybyday, check them out!
12. Favorite clothing brand: I like a lot, and I mostly shop at store like ross, tj-maxx, so I get a lot of different brands rather than stick with just one.
13. Describe your personal style in three words: simple/casual, stylish, and black (although I don't wear black all the time, I do have a lot of it. But, I'm trying to buy more colors for my wardrobe).

And that was the short, sweet, simple survey which hopefully gave you a little glimpse of me :) More posts will follow not just from me but the other contributors probably mostly about fashion and also life in general. Well, bye for now!
