I'm now unveiling a project I have had planned for quite some time now - a personal blog to serve as both a soapbox for my views and a snapshot into my life. While I get the rest of this site in order, I suppose it's time I introduced myself.
My real name is Norman Mingchen Cao (or in school, Norman Cao); or 曹明晨 (pinyin: cáo míng chén) in Chinese. I've gone by multiple aliases in the past, but generally speaking I like to call myself Normandy in these waters. Don't bother searching for me - my alias is drowned out by references to a certain city in France.
But what's in a name? How well do you know me? In this initial post, most of you reading this now probably happen to be my friends - but past my handle, how well do you really know me? Can you name my favorite color? Do I prefer rice or noodles? What do you know of my hopes and fears? How about my motives, and my aspirations? Truthfully speaking, I am probably one of the most opaque people you have ever met.
Join me then, on this journey. Who knows? Perhaps you'll see a rustle in the leaves, and uncover something new. After all, a lot more is in a name than you might think.
