About Me

I like to drink tea. I like to perform interpretative dance in my room in the dark. I knock over and break a lot of things in the process, but it doesn't bother me. In fact, the more things I knock over, the better. It's all part of the expressionistic decorum. Yup... wanker. I'm not Japanese. I do fancy a california roll though. I like quirky things. A friend of mine once said that 'quirky' is the epitome of quirky words. It's so true! I work some of the time. Play music most of the time. Study least of the time. I love Asian culture. I'm half Chinese, half Caucasian. The beauty of being Eurasian is that I can make fun of Whities and Asians and get away with both. But I don't do it that often. It's not very nice. I love to write, although I have terribly shoddy punctuation. Sometimes I even leave words out of my sentences. I think it's a condition. I'm kind to animals. I don't eat meat. I like indulging in things that, in many situations, would get me into some serious manure (prison immediately springs to mind). These include makeup, fashion, androgyny, wearing woman's jeans and sitting with my legs crossed. I write songs. I'm pretty badass at waterskiing, but who the hell waterskis anymore? Fucking wakeboarders. I like to paint pictures you would never think twice of hanging on your wall. I love vintage everything. I say fuck digital. Analog still rules. I would choose a VHS over a DVD and vinyl over a CD anyday. Other things I am madly obsessed with - World History, Asian Studies, David Bowie, Astrology, New Wave, 80s, Bjork, Glam Rock, 70s, The Blue Nile, Britpop, film, Surrealism, poetry. I think the rest of my profile should answer everything else. Oh yeah, I'm a pretentious fuck.
