Sticky: Writing Pet Peeves
This is because I need a place to vent when I come across techniques that irritate me to no end.^ Using the parenthesis is a right; don't abuse it because it makes your writing look amateur ( Read more... ) -

Special Effects of Inception. I have to say that those scenes were my favorite.
My mother also told me rather emphatically: "If you don't get married, I'm going to kill you." That's the first time she's said something so Chinese-mother to me; I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to be worried or horrified.

Who's tired of propaganda? I'm tired of propaganda.
I am tired of all the anti-China sentiment that the US media and propaganda machine is spewing at me. This is like the Cold War, but instead of anti-Soviet Russia, it's anti-China. I guess I'm just hyper aware because I am an ABC and I cherish my cultural identity as both a Chinese and an American. I never know what to think because I've grown up ( Read more... ) -

The movie has hardly been released for three weeks; it shouldn't have this large of a fandom already.

A brief con report and Korra

The panels were really fun and it's so different ( Read more... ) -

Three hours of on and off fic writing on notepad and Google Chrome decided to crash my computer. Apparently, it didn't care that I have difficulties writing action and suspense because I now have to rewrite those 2000 words. I'm also extremely uninspired for AmRev fill so I'm kind of stuck at the Townshend Act(s) in regards to how to write it... I ( Read more... ) -

Words I Couldn't Say: From Me to You
If I am ever invited to your wedding and you want me to make a speech, you better warn me in advance otherwise I would gape like a fish out of water while the entire reception stared at me. I am not a very eloquent person when it comes to giving spontaneous speeches because I never know quite what to say. My mind thinks faster than my mouth moves ( Read more... )
