I'm Taiwanese so I speak it (still speak normal Chinese also, geez). I'm the only one in the family to be born in Houston, the rest are, of course, from Taiwan.
There's always everyday to stand up and fight for yourself and not care about what bad things other people say about you. Just give their faces the middle-finger and be proud of who you are...\m/
I'm a big fan of any anime, from seinen to comedy and shojo, but preferably fantasy series and especially the very dark series.
Fantasy anime includes Last Exile (Did I mention it is the BEST series ever?), Eureka 7, Claymore (DARK Fantasy), and Fullmetal Alchemist.
The very dark series are by their nature, dark. They could be mystery, psychological, sci-fi, or have majority of scenes looking close to pitch-blackness. These series include Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Witch Hunter Robin, Death Note, Ergo Proxy, Darker Than Black, Zombie-Loan, Serial Experiments Lain, and Texhnolyze.
