erm, I was born in America... yes I don't have real asian blood :sad: :huh:

buh uhm, I don't remember much actually... I lived in the midwest all my life... lived in Oskaloosa(sp?) MI when I was younger... then moved to La Crosse and lived there until 2nd grade... I had a lot of cool friends! Then, moved to Holmen where there were NO asians at all... and I've been living here since...

I need a feel for big cities... I can't stand being trapped here I feel like I need to be revealed to the open... I need to know what it's like because I feel so deprived sometimes when people talk about things and I don't know what they're talking about...

i came to america when i was about 3 years old. i've seen pictures and heard stories about how i held my mom's hand in the airport n stuff, but i don't remember anything.

to get a green card, my dad had to be single at that time. so he pushed back the marriage date and therefore, my birthdate a year back. because of this STUPID date on my greencard and passport, i can't get my damned drivers permit.

he got it, a couple months later me and my mom came to NY. lived there for a couple months, then moved to virginia where my aunt and uncle lived.
