@tns What kind of an assumption is that?? Did you ask what "orientals" are supposed to be smoking?

So, you're saying I stand out, because I'm Asian in America? Don't be fooled by what the media portrays. I live in America. I have an ethnically diverse group of American friends.

Majority of America is filled with immigrants from a lot of different countries. These immigrants typically have children who are born and raised in America. Also, keep in mind that I am in Southern California near UCR, the 3rd most diverse college in the country.

Japan, on the other hand, is not America. They have a long history against immigration, but they're much better now. (They're working harder now especially with the realization of a long-term crisis of a decreasing population.) So immigrants are not as common as it is in America. Clearly.

How long were you in Japan? Have you been raised out there? When I travel to other countries, I expect to have conversations like what I mentioned above. In CA, I don't want to because of the diverse demographic. If it wasn't clear, that's where I was getting at.

No, I'm not a victim, and neither are you. You're right. I only have one life to live and so do you. Thanks for using it to read & comment on my blog. It must be a better lifestyle than judging people trying to make conversation. LIFE IS FUN! I LOVE IT!!!

Don't go judging me now--that's no way to live. Right?

For most of my life, I was polite and nice to those who would ask, but sometimes enough is enough. Yes, I say most of my life, because I get this question way too often. Oh, I also get bows, "konnichiwa", "nee-how", "ching chong", and the famous karate chop action.

It is not unacceptable to ask where someone is from per se. But if you are going to ask a stranger if they are from another country, you are implying that the stranger does not look like s/he belongs here. As mentioned many times in this thread and in the blog post, Southern California is diverse. If you are going to assume someone is from another country here, that's a bit odd.

Also, posting this blog entry has done something. You are reading it. You and many others. Upon reading this, I'm sure you will know what you're getting yourself into before asking someone in America if s/he is from another country. If you didn't already have that in mind, I'm glad I got that concept in your head.

Ya I was thinking about buying an enclosure to replace the hard drive that I already have in the external, but I haven't looked into what size to buy. I don't even know if that'll work. Also, I think something is wrong with just the USB output, because the unit itself turns on when I plug in the AC adapter (at least for one of the HDs). I don't have access to any Linux systems, so I can't try that option. :/

Syrup substitute = Agave nectar

You can -kinda- see the reflection of it on the pancake. I didn't put too much though.

I'm sticking with Nintendo, Sony, and Sega! I refuse to get into Microsoft's game system. I'm not cool with paying monthly for online gaming either. Microsoft can still change my mind in the future, but for now, I think you should get a PS3 so we can play online! :)

YES! It does have to do with that. That wasn't the only time it happened to me in high school.

Taco Snacks ... I wonder what they were made of.
