Ok, so technically, I can, in a long and very far away, like less then 1% of 1%, actually be considered partially Asian, as my brother's DNA, showed that somewhere along the way we had Chinese and East Indian Ancestors. So yes Roh, that means we could be related. But you would never in a million years guess it, since I look more Irish/Welsh then anything, except maybe to another Irish/Welsh person. Oh, did I say, that it's probably less then a 1% of a 1%. And I'm guessing that it's more then likely through my Cherokee ancestry, or else, as a friend once said, quite probably all the way back to the Tower of Babel, since everyone is related at some point.

Yup.
Laura Bailey, too. Although, Laura and I aren't really friends. I just needed an excuse to post this picture. I had the biggest crush on her.
I was pretty tight with Greg Ayers and Brett Weaver as well, but the only VAs I ever fanboy'd out over were Tiffany Grant and Steve Blum. I do have pictures with all these people, but I'm not going to turn this thread into my flipbook. ^_^

i don't have any rational reason, that's just his personality... he did it purely for the shock value - bride and groom making rounds to greet people before their dance, there were live goldfish in bowls as table centerpieces (which is already weird in and of itself), and when he came around to us he pulled a "hey guys, check this out!" and picked up the poor fish by its tail and gulped it down.
People throwing up near me is actually one of my biggest phobias, so i had this really intense moment of alternating between being baffled by him, freaked out by my friend barfing, and laughing so hard i cried.
My friend audibly gags every time we remind her.
I really appreciate Japan. I like their culture!!! I really like their fashion, I do enjoy some of their music. I'm interested in their school system and I enjoy some anime and movies from Japan. Their history opens up a world of learning. And Japanese people are pretty awesome. I'm trying to learn the language somewhat as well. Lets not forget the cute Japanese boys lol. I'm more of a Korean culture nerd tho.
What I love about the Japanese and their culture is their mixture of aesthetic beauty with utility and practicality.
It's evident in much of what they produce be it cars, laptops, bookmarks, cups, or swords. Something that can only seem to come from a culture that respects its ancient heritage, but embraces innovation all at once. In this I rather wish that other nations learn from their example.
Other than Miyazaki, I have little interest in anime, but I love what I have seen of Japanese film. Seven Samurai is fantastic and Letters from Iwo Jima is probably the best war film made since Das Boot.

Steph?... Asian culture obsessed or AC "nerd"? jk.
........You said "ask anything", in another thread?
Being an Asian has it's perks...people automatically think I'm smart....that is, until I open my mouth and my words just sort of spray everywhere.
I guess I'm happy I've been given the talent to quickly kill that stereotype with everyone I meet.

Hahaha.. I was laughing pretty hard 'cause it kinda reminded me of my own story.
I was a junior in high school, struggling in math (or rather just wasn't interested in) and one Asian guy came over, trying to encourage me, said, "Dude, you are Asian, pull it together man."
Yeah, I was never interested in math, except Geometry, and don't remember a single thing about cosine and limit and stuff.
