The first entry is always the "about me" post

I am a bit tired and out of it so this entry might not be that great...

To start off my name is Jannie Tran. Although it's meant to be pronounced as "J-ann-e" the correct pronunciation of my name is "Jaynie" (the way that my name should have been spelled if my dad didn't misspell it on my birth certificate). For the 20 years and 8 months that I've been living on this planet my name has been mispronounced and misspelled countless times. I was born and raised in San Jose, and the only place outside the state that I've been to is Vietnam to visit family.

I am currently majoring in Advertising and minoring in Graphic Designingbut considering flipping all that around and major in Graphic Designing. On weekends I work at Payless at the Valley Fair mall. When I'm not at work or at school I like to be lazy at home. I love watching Asian dramas and movies. I like to write stories, and make graphics when I'm not procrastinating by playing around with my acoustic guitar.

I am an avid listener of most genres besides country. I prefer to listen to Korean, Japanese and Chinese music rather than American. Because my dad who often manages the sound systems for stage productions has a lot of music equipment lying around, I took that as an advantage and started a cover band with my friends and younger brother. I can proudly say that instead of a coffee table in the living room, I have a drum set. It's less embarrassing to practice, rather than in the garage where the people on the side walk could see.

So this is all I could think of so far to share. I apologize if it looks like its too long, but I felt like it should be this long.
