I've found myself too thoughtful. I think on politics, current events, ethics, science, and literature. This is a huge contrast to most Chinese people who can't go beyond the latest pretty shirt they'd just bought.
Not that I dislike pretty shirts (I was swooning in Forever 21 just the other day), but there's more to life than clothing (and homework for that matter. I rarely talk about my homework). I'm also extremely interested in different cultures, so my friends and I often do impromptu comparative culture discussions. And I love to tell stories. I entertain my friends with old Chinese tales.
But it's the love of learning that I can't seem to see in a lot of other Asians, and Asian guys can be so condescending...in a nice way, but still extremely condescending. Like I'm a little fool, or an idiot, or helpless and need special attention simply because I'm female. A good example was when I was playing go, and made a mistake. Normally you don't take moves back, but the guy I was playing told me I could. That insulted me a lot. I flat out told him that I wasn't about to take back moves because I'm playing seriously and you don't learn that way.
Now I'm all over the board. I've been using Baidu.com, but half the links are broken and I've been yelling at my computer screen because of it. XD They surprisingly don't have a great deal of FIR either.
If you have that group I'd love it if you could upload some of theirs. Right now I only have a couple and Stacy's lost all of hers somewhere in her ipod (codenamed Jesus).
I have:
Flying Away I Want to Fly Lydia Neverland Our Love Qian Nian Zhi Lian
Aside from Lydia the rest were pretranslated. -_-;;;
If not, upload the songs you like. I've grown fond of 5566...I love mixing ethnic music with modern beats.
