AKANE'S PROFILE

Persona 4 and RaZor

Anything to take my mind off the matter, really. What I usually end up doing is reading a bunch of stuff on the internet, dancing, or watching anime or a movie.

I usually grow out my fingernails =/ Not like, scary curly fry long...maybe half an inch long.

I wish I could pull off the rainbow hair streak look. I'm not cool enough for that level to possess epic hair quality.

But key point, looks like a fun time. Not sure if alcohol was present at this fabulous shindig. Might explain some of the pictures--Then again, you all could be insanely wild and awesome.

I have only been in archery for half a year. If I get a fee waiver, I want to take more archery classes--Perhaps enough to be able to handle a professional bow and arrow like a young man did in my own class. Shot an arrow from 50 yards--totally hit the target. However, I'm not sure if I want my professor to lecture me on how improperly shoot. My aim is alright, and my accuracy is fairly decent. It's just because I keep my index finger on the shelf where the arrow passes through and slices my skin time after time. Without my finger there, my bow waivers.

Even though I've been living in a small town for several years now, I still go through racial and cultural messes. My first years in high school were difficult. Because I am so mixed, people generally thought I was Mexican--which I have developed a slight dislike towards.

Only because people racially profiled me before even knowing me because of the colour of my skin, hair, etc. The Mexicans mistreated me at school because I spoke English and not Spanish, did not have an accent, and wore the colour blue a lot. SO I had rocks thrown at me, fights broke out, etc.

I mean, it is California, but I'd prefer it if people didn't automatically assume I was of a Hispanic origin right off the bat because of how dark I am. Sometimes I feel bad, because some Spanish-only speakers will come up to me with that assumption and start asking me stuff in Spanish...while I can only wish they'll say something remotely close to English.

It's nothing major, but I just don't like being profiled right off the bat--especially when it's not what I am. Other than that, the local Filipinos denied me because I wasn't "asian" enough or something. They disliked me and my lack of a "bubble tea drinking, break dancing, rap loving, hip hop brand name wearing personality." Not to stereotype them, but that's what they were, and how they defined themselves, through voice and appearance.

All that was mostly high school identity crisis bullcrap, but some of it still happens in college.
