    Did you at least learn the second time and pick your least favorite toy?

    Among the things my father made me toss into the garbage while I sobbed uncontrollably were Oscar the Grouch, Honeycomb Buzzboard and some Dragon board game that was fuckawesome.

    Also legos

    My mum and dad support me in everything I do. My sister is rad. My grandad was a sniper in the british army and stole a geman lady to take back to britania after the war and marry. One of my grannies speaks with a thoroughly incomprehensible scottish accent, though she always has a massive smile on her face, which makes me laugh. My family is AWESOME.

    I love my family. It is the best family.

    Everyone's family wishes it were like mine.

    Viv I'm surprised by this.

    I mean that in the sense that you're not from America, yet your Mom is cool enough for you to adopt more Americanized customs.

    I envy that. Its pretty cool of her.

    Man when you have lived the sort of life my family has lived, you kinda realize that you will never really be more "anything"-ized.

    I don't mean to sound all abloobloo, but I honestly don't fit in anywhere. In China, I am a foreigner. In the States, I am more Chinese than anything. That sort of thing. My differences are highlighted in the fact that I am very able to integrate the "host culture" of the place I'm living without losing who I really am.

    So I might seem more Americanized, but were I to actually live in the States, you would realize how unAmerican I actually am.

    That said, my mom is fucking awesome and I would give anything to be half the woman she is.

    Yea I've read your posts about the praising of your mom and that seems pretty cool. I love my parents and stuff, but its real hard when they weren't born here, and expect you to live the life they lived in India.

    Also, it has nothing to do with being a pussy. If you were supported by your family your entire life then forced to marry a complete stranger, you'd be pressured to do so. Don't give me this shit about "not all Indians are representatives of this guy*" because unless you're supposed to get married to a strange woman, you don't know what its like.

    *But yes, we do have amazing mustaches. That's a given.

    My mom used to beat me. A lot. One time, she tried really really hard to break my legs but luckily her jumping up and down for a good 3 minutes wasn't good enough and she gave up. Unluckily, she grabbed a PVC pipe instead. I couldn't walk correctly for at least a week.

    This is how awesome my mother is.

    Some years ago she admitted to me that she would prefer if I married a Chinese dude, just because she felt that he would have the same base cultural values as I would. At the time, I told her that it probably wasn't going to happen simply because you can't expect me to have lived such an internationally nomadic lifestyle and somehow "screen out" everyone who isn't of my own culture.

    My father, for the record, agreed with me. Which is really weird, but that's another story.

    A little while ago my mom and I had a similar conversation. This was when I was finally dating my first Asian boyfriend. I asked her if she still preferred that I marry a Chinese guy. Her answer was, "Well honestly I look at all the Chinese boys that we've known over the years and I don't think any of them are successful enough, man enough, or just plain crazy enough to be able to take care of someone like you. I think I've long come to terms with the fact that you will probably try to emasculate any man that you end up with and only the ones who resist your efforts will be the ones you could end up with... and quite frankly, Chinese men are not exactly the manliest of men. In fact based on the evidence I'd say they'd be the first to give in and basically prance around in a frilly apron."

    And it was quite clear right then that I was definitely a product of this woman's genetics and upbringing.

    Man what's the point of throwing away legos.

    Like you can just smash it apart in front of the kid, that's just as bad.

    But you don't throw them away. You never have enough legos.

    NO I was a dumb, dumb kid. Also lies were of the devil etc. so I wouldn't dare do that.

    No he would ask shop owners if they would donate toys to us because we were poor, starving missionaries. Once in awhile one would give us something.

    This is also how we ate.

    My uncle's brother in law smashed his kid's gameboy with a hammer, right in front of the kid's eyes.

    He didn't even have a reason to do it, other than "videogames make people stupid!"

    also why aren't you going to your sister's wedding

    she's your goddamn sister

    I'm going to the wedding thats in June. I don't feel spending 7 hours in a car going to the bridal shower to have lunch with her, just to drive 7 hours back here.

    No matter how you spin it, its a fucking waste of time.

    I see a bunch of words but all I hear is abloobloobloobloobloo

    this is obviously very important to your family

    and you'd only be losing fourteen hours you would otherwise spend watching tv and jerking off

    My dad isn't going because he has to work.

    Not to say that work isn't important, but don't give me "I can't take a day off from being self employed" when I tell him that I gotta wake up at the ass-crack of dawn and drive for a quarter of a day for a lunch.
