And don’t worry about the double commenting. :3

Or maybe it’s because it’s L.A. where there’s a higher population of Asians? I dunno. :3 (Sorry for double-commenting, haha)

Re: #6 Maybe it has something to do with Jichan and Bachan growing up in Japan? I know my dad’s parents almost disowned my aunt. But they didn’t, don’t know the whole story behind that. But I have a lot of Asian friends from high school who’re 100% Asian. Then again, I’m sure quite a few of them are recent immigrants (or their parents are).

I guess that could be it (first comment). I always thought it was just a cultural thing. :/

Haha, I get told I look young for my age ALL the time. I’m 23 too, and I get 16 or 17. It’s never really bothered me though, I actually find it amusing.

I use to love school shopping for supplies when I was kid! Gosh I was such a dork! I would get upset when my mom kept putting it off. But now that I’m older, (and not in school at the moment), it does nothing for me.

I only like making lists when I’m bored and I almost always throw them away eventually or just forget about them. Speaking of which, I made a To-Do-List last friday and reading this has reminded that 1) I forgot I made it, 2) I don’t know where it is.

Thanks for the tag, I’ll make a post sometime this week. ^_^

#5 I would probably like looking younger than I am, except that it’s embarrassing when people are shocked that I am old enough to be married with kids. And then they realize that I am not old enough to be the mom of two of my kids. I kind of wish I were / looked old enough that it wasn’t the first thing everybody thought of about me.

#6 I wonder if that was more common a few generations ago? I know that on the Italian side of my family, my great-grandparents were both born in Italy and immigrated to the US, but they met and married over here. So my grandfather and his siblings are all 100% Italian. I think my great-uncle may have married a woman who was 100% Italian, too, so my cousins would be full-blooded Italian, too.

#7 I have always loved buying school supplies! The things I like to buy have changed a little now, though. Instead of pencils and protractors I buy binders, file folders, red pens, and a good quality three hole punch (for myself), and crayons, stickers, and construction paper (for the kids).

In your situation, I could see how that can get on my nerves. I guess for me, I don’t always act my age (ehe…), so it doesn’t bother me much when people keep thinking me as a 17/18.

I’m pretty sure it was (if you’re talking about the disowning thing ^_^;). My grandpa and some of his siblings were uptight about their kids marrying non-Japanese folks, but my parents really don’t care who my siblings and I end up marrying, as long as of course, they’re Christian.

Then again, it could also be a family thing. On my mom’s side, we’re mainly Japanese, with a few exceptions (some sort of Caucasian ethnicity and Chinese), but on my dad’s side, we’re a little more ethnically diverse (Chinese, German, Malaysian I think?, Irish and I think I remember hearing that my aunt is part Mexican and part Filipina). I don’t know. ^_^;

I guess for your case, you might have a use for all the school supplies you buy (homeschooling your kids), but for me, most of my (non-Studio Art) classes really don’t have a list of required supplies we need. Sometimes, they’ll just tell us “There will be tests”, which implies that we’ll need to take notes, and therefore we will need something to write on (whether it be a single sheet of paper, laptop or a regular notebook). And also we will need a writing instrument. Where’s the fun if anything else we bring is purely optional?? T_T
