Self proclaimed geek but I was geek before G4 made geek cool, which makes me inherently more cool. I was born and raised in the US, I do relate to both American and Asian (Taiwanese) Culture but I'm probably more americanized. Dim sum..cool, sushi...lovin it, respect for the older generation...wonderful, cheap lead painted toys made by 6 year olds...not so much. I can be sarcastic, puckish, impish, loquacious at times, taciturn at times, I make outrageous claims like I invented the question mark. I did better on the Verbal section of the SATs than the Math section....I think I lose asian points for that so to make up for it I practice karate, got a spiky hair style, and replaced any colors in my wardrobe with black. After all this race related humor I have been told by the Dragon Council (which in reality is just a crappy Cantonese take out joint) that I must play japanese RPGs, watch anime, and stop paying attention to traffic signs while driving. I have a childish irreverence but believe strongly in honor. I yam what I yam but I'm not popeye the sailor man. Cause let's face facts Olive Oil has no . I would share my Trix with that silly wabbit not like those selfish brats (momma should've taught em better). I tried green eggs and ham, but then learned that green proteins is just rotted food, I'm still waiting on the settlement for the lawsuit led geek vs Dr.Seuss. I'm taking him to the bank...booyah. When I can't sleep I count sheep, then I get hungry and go make lamb chops. I notice the small details, like my spell check doesn't recognize "cliche", but does recognize "douche bag". And that makes me smirk. Looking for my vigilante sidekick to team up with and bring all these people who are looking for their partners in crime to justice, as an added bonus capes are more fun than ski masks. Should be someone who can be silly, goofy, cuddly, warm, sarcastic and witty. Humor and originality are big in my book. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- Just for added incentive 13 reasons to date an asian: 1. You won't have to wonder whether your new asian character tattoo actually says "love, strength and courage" or "I have sex with donkeys" 2. When you're paying for dinner at the buffet you might end up paying about 25% less....kids under 12 eat for half price. 3. You can stop looking utterly perplexed at Dim Sum, not willing to try a dish for fear of it being coagulated pigs blood (yes there is a dish like this in dim sum, it's actually pretty good, but I bet your glad I pointed out which one it was) 4. When the in laws are complaining to you (and they will) you can pretend to not understand their broken english. A half smile, nod and shoulder shrug usually get the message across. 5. 24 hour IT service at home 6.

You can tell your friends that you're dating Jet Li, they won't be able to tell the difference 8. You can stop feeling like you're being a tiny bit racist when you do mock kung fu moves when dancing to "Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting" 9. On the off chance that your sister gets on a train leaving Chicago at 4:00 and is traveling 50 mph east and your brother is leaving NY on a train at 4:20 traveling 65 mph west....we know what time you're supposed to be at train station C to pick them up. 10. If you (and every single person you know in the world) runs out of hair styling product at the exact same time, there's probably enough in our closet for everyone. It doesn't matter if it's hairspray, gel, mousse, pomade, wax....we probably have it and in copious amounts. 11. Hot night planned, can't find the blindfold, well, everyone has dental floss in their bathroom medicine cabinet. 12. Want to buy a some shirts for him, his siblings and his asian friends....we take the guess work out, our favortie color is always black. The movie Matrix is our equivalent of your Vogue. 13. If you don't have a stick up yer arse and find this funny, well then you must like my sense of humor...and I happen to be asian so what time shall I pick you up? ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- 13 Reasons Not to date an asian: 1. You might get mistakenly arrested for being a pedophile 2. You always run the risk of losing the guy in a crowd in China Town....you'll never find him again, just gotta hope he finds you 3. When the new Dragon Quest video game comes out, he will be of no use to anyone for anyreason whatsoever 4. If some of your favorite movies include "The King and I" or "Breakfast at Tiffanys" be prepared to either never watch them again, or endure a 6 hour lecture about eurocentrism, the building of the transcontinental railroad, and the Japanese internment camps during WWII 5. If you go to the amut park you'll have to ride the rollercoaster alone...sorry management insists that the height requirement is a safety issue 6. At this point even Chinese people won't buy toys made in China 7. We can't drive...and we still won't ask for directions 8. When the neighbors dog is missing everyone will eye you guys suspiciously and nobody will come over to have "pork" chops at your place. 9. Any flat rectangular piece of wood that decides to remain intact is taken as an affront to your mates manhood and must be chopped. To this day I keep all of my books in plastic yaffa blocks. 10. You may go Deaf from having people yell at you. For some reason people think that if you don't understand english they think you'll understand LOUDER english. I speak and comprehend english just fine thank you very much, it's stupid that I have a hard time understanding. 11. Our hairstyles are taken directly from anime movies, which is pretty cool looking, but they might take out your eye. Better wear safety goggles to bed. (on the plus side we find that sexy) 12. Foreplay will consist of sequentially harder higher order mathematics...eh not that bad though cause what that other guy does is just as boring. 13. When you're teasing him, telling him your vibrator is broken and you need something to use to get off....he won't get the hint and he'll go fix it. (actually this could go into either category now that I think about it)
