When I was growing up, I knew that I was different from the rest of my peers.
But I didn't really feel like I was Korean..
My friends would tease/remind me of course..
But it made me laugh, more than anything. :)
In elementary/Junior High, no one really bothered me when it came to me being Asian. They just knew I was different and would ask me questions about my family and such because they were genuinely curious.
High School however..was a joke..a bad, bad joke.
Theres a difference between being curious..
and just being...to put it lightly...a dumbass.
THE FOLLOWING ARE ALL TRUE STORIES
I ain't playin' bro
I tried to draw all the idiots..but thinking about them made me reduce them to scribbles
(I'm pitying them and protecting their identity..in case crazier Asians, than I, decide to go after them..Its not their fault they're dumb..I think)
They're lucky to be scribbles..
Not All Asians Are Good At Math.
Two Days Later...
Haha, he actually said that to me, he was so pissed...it was great.
I got this asked a lot...
Other people however..were really stupid and rude.
I never got so angry in my life.
The Following Happened in History Class
and it forever changed my life..you see I was a quiet/shy girl before this..
.
.
.
I actually said that...
I snapped...real bad that day
I was getting picked on for other reasons during this time..and for some reason I kinda lost it.
No one bothered me after this..at least the people in History class.
This was the beginning of my...sarcastic, I'm-not-taking-this-bullshit-phase,dry humor phase.
But..I still didn't have many friends..::tear::.
Now this happened in the same class earlier in the year I remember...
This girl wasn't particularly bright..and she was a real bitch.
a terrible combination in my opinion
I knew how sarcastic she was being with our following conversation.
I didn't say anything to her. I just put my head down and worked.
"Maybe if I ignored it, IT will go away"
(Mind you, this happened before the 'SARS' incident...I just thought i'd save the best for last)
If I had my way, I would have had a different ending to our conversation.
Want some wonton crispies with that ya dumbass?
Back then I was sad about this..it makes me sad now...but only because I can't believe people that moronic existed back then..
Now I look back at this and laugh...
In a way, I have to thank idiots like them. It sort of prepared me for the mental/emotional bullshit I would deal with, while in college.
But that...is a story to save for another day.
;)
