...asleep but just conscious enough to feel your breath, your presence

About Me

............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................... ............................................................ ........................................................... .......................................................... Julia is my middle name. Being the only "tan" one in the family, my mother used to claim I was part mongolian (father's side of course) to explain my soiled complexion and patches of kinky hair. I'm a cultural misfit searching for a place I can finally call home, a language that suits my tongue, a man that considers me his equal. I dream in Korean, English, Spanish and French. I can make you laugh until you fall to the ground with stomach cramps, cook meals that bring tears to your eyes, dance until sunrise, love you till you're sick of love, suprise you when you least expect it, hide all my emotions or make them very public, speak in spontaneous poetry, paint pictures of rain and heat, blush on command, bring you back to childhood, be your best friend, your coy mistress, your rock. I am everything you expect me to be and anything you assume that I'm not.
