List List (List)

Another list!

I think I might post one everyday, actually.

Top five reasons why I'm Asian (but not really)

- I really, really, really, really, really, really, really like Hello Kitty
Don't know why. I just do. I got a Hello Kitty acoustic for my birthday (which is probably shittier than the cheaper, black Fender I ALMOST bought instead, but I love it anyway)... which I plan on actually bejeweling. Yes, I know, I'm an abomination... still. You wish your guitar kicked as much ass.

- If you ever do end up calling me, I'll almost ALWAYS answer with "OH, HARRO!"
In true hipster fashion, that's probably me just being ironic or some shit, but I actually do walk around replacing the letter L with R.
IE. OH, MY MOTHER, SHE OWN RITTLE RAKSA STAND.

- My mum's actually pretty chill
Nothing at all like an ethnic parent, but I love her broken English, and how she runs out of it when she's angry (which is rarely, these days). She looks like the standard Asian mother, but she's not. She basically approves of anything I do, unless it's doing crack in a dank alleyway. I still like to joke about ethnic parents, though.

- I like sushi... but we hardly eat rice at my house anymore
I think my family's leaning towards the Arab side nowadays... also, my mother parties hearty, so she's barely home to cook. And she thinks we're all old enough to fend for ourselves, so it's a special occasion when my family sits down to dinner together and there's a fresh pot of rice on the table.

- I was taught piano while I was young
My teacher even used to slap my hand when I played the wrong note. I guess she was my musical Mr. Miyagi. I think I even learnt to site read music before I could even speak fluent English, or even read books.
