I answer just about everything that anyone ever asks me anyway, but in case you have a burning curiousity about my past, my daily life, or whatever else you can think of... ask me. Kinky questions are allowed too.
We love those memes. This was lifted from icetulip :)
For someone who goes through the trouble of locking some entries and passwording her private journal, I'm surprised to see this on the public page. So here's an unfair snipe:
What question(s) are you really hoping nobody asks you?
Hmm. Well, I figured that if the questions were really, *really* personal, I'd simply answer them privately :) I'm really hoping nobody asks me how much I weigh right now, though. Or how my apartment search is coming. Shudder.
-Do you identify yourself as bisexual? From what I've read, you've had intimate and/or sexual relationships with both men and women, but from what I understand, you started being with men first. I don't want to seem like I'm giving you a label, but do you have more than one sexual orientation?
-Did you grow up in a "traditional" Asian family? You seem highly academic, with with a lust for life and creativity that I don't find in many of my friends who grew up in strict/firm families, including friends who are from India, the Czech Republic, and other places. I am certainly not implying that individuals who grew up in non-American families lack a lust for life or creativity, but most of them seem completely driven by a career or money. Basically, how have your roots shaped you?
-Are you a coffee or tea person? (or both?) If so, what kind(s)?
Here we go: I do identify as bisexual, because it's the easiest label -- not because I'm "more straight than gay," but because my personal preferences change depending on the month. I admit to having dated and loved more men than women, but I suspect that's partly because my standard for what's acceptable in girls is higher -- and the women I've dated have been consistently cooler than the men :P
(2) I have no idea what you mean by a traditional Asian family, although I think you're correct in saying that I"m a bit too strange to have been raised truly strictly. On the other hand, I got indoctrinated with the "respect your elders" and "be responsible" and "academics above all" and stuff, and certainly took my fair share of abuse :)
(3) Tea, I think :) Earl grey, mint, peach, and rose tea.
Coffee is a recent addiction I'm not too happy about, but it does kick-start my morning, when I'm completely dead otherwise. Jess laughed when I finally went over to the dark side -- teaching broke me, I tell you :) I'm generally not drinking it for taste, though.
