My name is Tracey. I love languages and I love the way that people communicate with each other. I love music and I'm a very bad driver which makes sense, since I'm Asian AND female. I live quietly, but my life is often full of brilliant sparks and happy moments. Let me share them with you.

a little more about me…

I’ve almost completed one and a half lunar calendars - This feels like a long time, but I know in the long run, this is nothing and that’s fine with me. It means I have plenty of life left in me to do all the things I want to do.

I’m a very lucky girl. But I have too much of a conscience, because I often start feeling bad about being so lucky, then I just feel plain bad, then I feel bad for feeling bad because I know I’m so lucky and sometimes it gets a bit much because I’m always fighting with myself in my head. But I have a group of people, family and friends, online and offline, who save me from going mental.

I’m in my last year of high school, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, this means I’m in my HSC (How to Survive Crap) year. Sometimes it’s known as the Higher School Certificate, but whatever. The point is, I’m busy, but I don’t care. Ok, that was a lie, I do care but I’m not going to study endlessly and procrastinate anyway. I have bad self control.

I like being entertained. Thus I often find entertainment in the form of jpop and jdramas, and I often talk about this. I can sometimes analyse my sources of entertainment too much - Often I think about things that should not be thought about (such as acting - or the lack of it, in dramas) but there has to be something intelligent found in everything. Right?

I am an Asian, thus I concern myself with Asian issues. I make Asian jokes. I have squinty eyes. I’m terrible at Cantonese. I loveeeee rice. Sometimes I clash with the Asian in me. Other times I love it. Either way, that part of me is here to stay, until they find some way to permanently dye my skin, my mind, and my heart, white. And even if they ever find a way to do that, I still wouldn’t do it.

To know more about me, it’s probably best to just read what I post. I actually have some favourite/most memorable posts (oldest to newest), perhaps these are also of interest to you.

Text posts: social, prime minister, hospitality, some advice for myself, shitteru, scoff, tanjoubi, logic, multiplicity, tell me why I do(n’t) like mondays, four times the strength, cemetary.

Link posts: omgwtfbbq?, My First Language is American

Photo posts: Not in San Francisco.

Quote posts: socrate’s speech on love, 26 letters, not so safe, ain’t no Juliet.

Conversation posts: sentimentality, context.

Another way to get to know me is to see me elsewhere: last.fm, livejournal, shelfari, myanimelist, mymangalist, mydramalist, delicious.
