Six Little Curly Fries

Hello everyone.

The topic of my post today was inspired partly by something I heard in English, and partly by my personal life...which is not a happy topic! You can just forget about me expounding on it.

Sidenote: I'm currently listening to "Starstruck" by Sterling Knight...It's somewhat weird, because I'm positive I heard a 4th grader squealing over how "hawt" Sterling Knight is....*shudder* It's not like he's not cute, he is, it's just....I don't remember having hormones in 4th grade. Did I? (that is to Momo+xiy, who knew me best back then)

A General Overview of the Stereotypes about:

China, China, China. Chinese ppl, Chinese ppl...jeez, when will people stop talking about them every frickin' time they think about the "less fortunate", the "smart", the "censored", the "Communists"? It's not like we're the ONLY less fortunate. There are rich people in China too, you know? There are stupid Chinese people too, but hey, y'all (please note I am not talking about the Curly Fries when I go and generalize all people. They've been well trained to not think of China/Chinese people all the time as said stereotypes...) don't even THINK about that when you're talking. Censored? Come on. Sure, we aren't that "free" in our web searches, but hey, that doesn't mean we're living in a frickin' cement block. Just cuz these couple o' anarchists in China are stuck in jail with a speedy trial, doesn't mean that y'all should go like, "awwwww". Whaddya think your government does? Give them a teddy bear and a room at the Ritz-Carlton? NOT. Lastly, so we're a Communist country. Big deal! You're a not-exactly-capitalist-not-exactly-socialist country. It's not like Chinese people criticize y'all for that... And then BLAMING. YOU GUYS ARE BLAMING THE CHINESE because your country is in DEBT. YOU OWE CHINA A TRILLION FRICKING DOLLARS. Well that's just great, print out a trillion dollar bills in a couple hours, and just hand them to China! But hey, isn't that kind of mean because the dollar is worth so little now? The value of the trillion that China lent the U.S. is so much more than what the U.S. would be giving back in a trillion dollars. It's just so...idk...I'm giving up on this topic...

Ok...that last paragraph was maybe a bit of biased ranting...But seriously, I'm TIRED of it.

Things I am SO F***ING TIRED OF:

1. The "ching-chang-chong" phrase. CAN YOU GET ANY LESS CREATIVE? IT'S NOT EVEN CHINESE!!!!

2. Making inappropriate remarks just so you can see the Asian's reaction. Well I've heard worse(Chinese people are vulgar on the streets, even when I was little), and I don't give a damn about what you say. I don't CARE if you've got one of two balls.

3. "Can you say something in Chinese?" I'm fine with it if you're innocently and curiously asking. I just don't feel like it. But when you say it in a voice that implies I'm an illiterate non-English speaking creature, I HATE IT.

4. STARING because I'm Asian. DUDE, YOU'VE SEEN AN ASIAN BEFORE.

5. "Are you two sisters?" (refers to xiy+I) Just because we're both of the same race does NOT mean we're related. That would be like me asking African-Americans, "Are you brothers?"(I changed the gender, cuz it's more often the boys who ask this)Or asking a Caucasians,  "Are you sisters?" (more often the girls...blondes, a lot of the times :))

Phew! That was a lot of ranting and pent up frustration/anger/tears all piled together into one huge post...Oh well. It was fun to write :)

NaNoWriMo wordcount: 8300 :D (STILL AHEAD OF VIRGIL!!!!!!)(Edit from Virgil: Actually, as of when you posted this, I was at 9,583 ^_^ muahahaha)

Last sentence: Her calico fur rippled, and some places began showing a pale, hairless, human skin.
