Welcome to my (second) life

Hi ya'll bloggers and bloggettes out here =)

In vain hopes of improving my ability to write anecdote and writing in general in preparation for SAT, I have started this blog. Also, this blog will serve as my confessional for my adventures as the label whore, nail whore, camera whore, shopholic, and spoiled princess.

I guess I should start by telling ya'll something about myself. I was born and grew up in Beijing, China and moved to Vancouver when I was 9. It seems young but I have not lost ties with my home country nor home city. I am a self-professed Chinese nationalist and FOB, and that's the way I act, well, most of the time. I go to a predominantly Asian high school in the west side of Vancouver, and when I say predominantly Asian, I mean PREDOMINANTLY ASIAN. We have about 60% mainland Chinese students in our school, coming from some of the richest families in China.

Why am I putting you through this autobio bullshit you may ask? Because the various aspects of my life molded me into the label whore and materialistic princess you see right here.

Ok, you know what? Screw all the bullshit, because I'm making myself sound like some prologue in some Gossip Girl episode. In reality, I'm just a label whore who goes to a school full of label whores and whose best friends are label whores as well.

However, by no means is this blog solely for label-whoring and materialistic rambling. This blog is not shown to ANYONE in my real life simply because I feel like I need a little corner to let out some emotions that I simply cannot tell my friends.

Let's start the autobio thing again, because I do believe it's important for ya'll to know some essentials about me in order to make any sense from my ramblings. First of all, I'm blatantly bi-sexual, and almost everyone I know knows this for a fact. I've had two boyfriends in the past, the first relationship consisted of me being a total asshole and making a huge fool out of myself and possibly breaking the heart of the one sole boy who loved me unconditionally. However, I'm still super good friends with him, because we realized a relationship is simply impossible. The second heterosexual relationship consisted of my ex and I both being assholes and making utter and complete jackasses of ourselves because I found out I was bi-sexual and he wasn't ready to deal with my "almighty dykeness" so we broke up. We're still "friends" but we both know better than talking to eachother and making even bigger assholes of ourselves. My currently relationship consists of me and my girlfriend. We've known eachother for the longest time and I think she turned me into a bi-sexual. She is a prolific artist with weird-ass ideals and we fight endlessly yet we're so madly in love.

Anyway, I'm not a super family-oriented person therefore I'll keep the family thing to a minimum. My mother is your typical Chinese rich-bitch and a bigger label-whore than I am. She dresses age-inappropriately and attempts to make people believe we're sisters. However, all my friends love her, especially my girlfriend, because they're so goddamn close they might as well leave me out of the picture completely. My father communicates through bank statements simply because he's busy working in China in order to support my mother's spending habits. Almost every family in Vancouver's west side is like that, we're called "Satellite Families" and we're proud of it because our fathers are successful and people wish they had parents like ours.

However, I try to be financially independent from my family as much as possible. I work part time for a publishing house as an editor and book cover graphist. I edit everything from poetry to prose to plays and stage script. It's an awesome job because I get to meet prolific authors and get to work with amazing literature. The money I earn from editting sufficiently supports my label-whore habits and I invest the rest. You're NEVER too young to invest.

I feel as if I'm rambling too much.
We shall leave the rest to be revealed in my posts.
