- - - - earlist memory of travelling to a foreign country
        
        I was 4 or 5
        
        We went to a seaside resort
        
        A brilliant white beach
        
        Some years later, we went to that beach again, the sand turned black due to oil leakage
        
        My dad lead me into the sea. One time he fished out an white plastic throw-away lunch box, which gave me quite an impression
        
        There was a pool for kids, I met a girl my age with blond hair, we played a little and I never saw her again, but my parents took a picture of us, I still remember her
- - - - around grade four
        
        my parents started jogging at a nearby park
        
        take me with them
        
        don't know why they started
        
        I was terrible
        
        the upsides of my thighs gets very tired and sour
        
        general exhaustion during the second/third kilometer
        
        I didn't like it
        
        not used to otherwise unneeded sweating
        
        being tired & sour
        
        but, I remember vague feeling of achievement and aerobics rush
    - - first place in 8th grade girls' 800 meters competition
      - third place in 11th grade 800 meters (in just 3 minutes)
      - passes the zhongkao 800 test with full score and a personal new record at that time (under 3 min 10 sec)
  - - - started when I was five
      - mom gave me english picture books to read
      - that one bookshelf
        
        it gradually get filled up with popular english children and young adult novels
        
        probably started around the time the training did
        
        still hadn't finished the shelf
    - - once, when I was about eight, I went to the house of a girl whose mother work in the same place as my mother. I knew the girl fair enough. She had other kids there as well, they played, but I just picked up some picture books and read at the corner.
    - - am reading Beloved
  - - - the musicians
        
        of Ao3 and single-fandom stories
        
        wierd trend
        
        usually, people who're in a (more famous then their solo work) band are paired with their band mates (usually not all at once); but people who mainly do solo work (or have a reputation for making and leaving bands like an asshole of a romantic partner) goes all ways
        
        usually, when you're trying to search for a guy's fandom, and when that guy was in a Band Thats Bigger Than Him, the catagory system would lead you to the band's fandom instead of simply that guy's
        
        why are musicians and band put in a different catagory then celebrity/real people? (which infinitly confuses me)
        
        of some fandoms I've read
        
        Bowie
        
        why are so many writers so focused on his accent (esp ones that write him with OFC)
        
        there's a 65 chapter long story about him and Iman
        
        I appreciate this pair and think they're really great, but ...
        
        the story is horrible

        Michael Jackson
        
        their most frequent pairing: themself/original female character
        
        me: okay, fine, not exactly my cup of tea but sometimes it could be nicely written
        
        fortunately, a part of it is MJ's music video persona/someone, or Jarth/someone
        
        I remember (sort of dropped out of the fandom some years back), most are simply cute, some of it about life after death (some good some not),
        
        there's ones about his personas in his music videos
        
        the Beatles
        
        okay, we know you win, McLennon shippers, in numbers
        
        I went there because I was curious of John/Yoko
        
        and because I wanted to see some Yoko and the Beatles content that are not that hostile to her (an eastern asian woman, who went to live in the US in the 60s, who had a long term and (more or less) equil relationship with a white man, who managed to make some place for herself, who went through the press and hostility from the masses, have my sympathy, okay?), and some parts of the fandom almost don't talk about her as human

        one amazing author
        
        She (the name is Selena) had wrote a lot
        
        found her due to a historical RPF
        
        as for the Beatles
        
        5 more items...
        
        the Rolling Stones
        
        Oh and the Keith/Mick people win as well
        
        there's this Alicias person who wrote a kind of good domestic, not-famous story. since it's domestic romance, liberties at making things softer is appreciated. (although, in my case, it's a nice story but not one to love)
        
        one old one originally written in 2006 about their inner thoughts about the consert and them still going
        
        One that centers Keith, one that supposed most of the rumors of who they slept with were real, and its about their relationship with each other and how they treat things. One of those shipping stories that held on to the character of the people as they are/were in real life as we could possible know of them.
        
        G'n'R
        
        lots of inter-band pairings
        
        one stories that made me want to laugh and cry because of how ridiculous it was
        
        it was one female OC/ the entire band, the OC's the daughter of an OC manager, also she just turned 18
        
        for some reason, I find the first few chapter halierious, but then I quitted because it's too much
        
        nice ones
        
        one in which Duff is the mom of the band and Izzy the dad (in terms of taking care of the band in, err, strange ways)
        
        2 more items...
        
        one where slash is already famous, and Axl met him. the rest of the band came along the way
        （with izzy as the bad ex, but this is a fanfic after all, and they often take sides in band breakups), and they dealt with problems in relationships (family, friends and love)
        
        Queen
        
        the humungous flood of new fanficts after Bohemian Rapasody
        
        which is a bit annoying, really
        
        a lot of those are more based on their charcters in the movie then about them
        
        2 more items...
        
        one old mini story of a crossover between the band and Transformers (movie/cartoon), and Roger's car is an autobot whom is also his girlfriend, and it's about the other members learing about it in a very exciting way
        
        Led Zeppelin
        
        you win also: plant pagers
        
        somebody on lofter (we "follow" each other), we'll call her cherry
        
        she writes dark things
        
        one about a guitarists' arm
        
        it's a severed forearm
        
        it talks about the fine lining of the muscles, the hard skin on the fingers, the bracelets, the texture, the tones and tanes
        
        I think she take the idea from the jojo antagonist who has a murderous fetish for hands
        
        one with a gender twist and twisted desires
        
        one about two that made names for themselves and one is a fan of the older one and they f*
        
        who's also the one who really introduced me to jojo
    - - jojo
        
        has a high proportion of E-rated stories (most fandoms' rating distribution is Teen and up, general, mature and explicit; jojo is teen and up, explicit, general and mature).
        
        most of the Es are there because of sexual content (as far as the tags can say)
        
        canon reasons
        
        the style of the characters
        
        series 5
        
        3 more items...
        
        it has male characters in lipstick, which is quite uncommon, esp for shonen manga
        
        and generally amazing style of attaire
        
        1 more item...
        
        sexual reference, but I'm not sure if this part of Jojo is that exceptional as far as animes are concerned
        
        and violence
        
        canon reasons
        
        jojo has a reputation of having characters that bleed A LOT on-screen (but nobody bled to death, except those taken by a vampire)
        
        and a reputation of characters with high tolerance for pain
        
        the fifth series is set in an Italian mafia which the main character wishes to turn into his own, with quite a lot of bloodshed as most of the important characters (bothe the protagnoists and the antagonists, as Araki is nutorious in making amazing characters out of the entire cast) died in terrible ways
        
        the fifth series also seems to be the most popular series if one can trust the character tagging frequency charts
        
        definietly not because it's japanese as most manga/anime fandom's distribution is G/T, M, E
        
        this confuses me so much
        
        because as far as I know other anime/manga has sexual tension and violence as well, as well as outrageous hairstyles
  - - - HIT FM
        
        he bought our first car when I was about five, and this channel sticked
        
        He switches to this channel everytime he takes me out, or when we drive to my mother's parents' place in the district over
        
        It's a Chinese radio channel that broadcasts songs in English, mostly British or American, sometimes other regions like central American and Europe
      - his sonlgist
      - CDs
        
        He had four Nirvana, three Michael Jackson, one Pink Floyd, 黑梦 (one of the best Chinese Rock Album) , and one of covered songs (in bel canto), he said he used to have one Guns'n'Roses but lose it somewhere.
    - - my dad, music videos
        
        during nursery school, and after he bout our first ipad, there was a time when he would play Michael Jackson's music videos for me to watch when he take me back home
        
        before that he showed my the Thriller mv once, I was about four and it scared me
        
        I really liked Speed Demon though, because of the bunny hat and the talking statue of liberty (uncapitalized because it's not the real thing, obviously, and I didn't know then what the Statue of Liberty is)
    - - first experience
        
        I believe I was eleven
        
        Dad played Space Oddity on his phone app
        
        Back then I read lyrics when I could, and I read this
        
        I cried
        
        I was like: dad why are you doing this to me
        
        there's something about that astronaut lost (and in my ears, dying) in space, the music, and the distant tone in the singing
      - he made me cry twice
        
        the first time
        
        october or november of 2018
        
        In an interview he did in Hong Kong, he said "China Girl" expresses a concern towards the westernization of the East, that the westernization devalues their original cultures.
        
        it lead to an episode
        
        dizziness
        
        rising heart rate
        
        emotional breakdown?
        
        excessive anxiety
        
        need of air
        
        what I did
        
        I ran out of the school building, clenched on wired walls around the playground, and phoned my mother if it was still possible to transfer to a school with the more traditional approach
        
        I read about this under a blog about merry christmas mr lawrence
        
        merry christmas mr lawrence is about east meets west
        
        it stars David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto (both very prominent and talented musicians), this very combination is a representation of the movie's theme
        
        it was my first semester at icc, and the different things I was taught and prior cultural anxieties got intensified.
- - - - the teachers are just voices in my earphones
      - the discussions don't help
      - where's the gestures, the teacher's perspective that can see you not concentrating, the students at your back and sides who can see you, the people who are listening or playing video games, where are their presence?
  - - - there's this person on Lofter I follow
        
        I followed her because of her rock music RPF
        
        she also posted some jojo fanfiction
        
        in november, through her I learned that there's a character (leading villian) in Jojo who's drawn after David Bowie
      - watched around 70% of the animation
        
        I have trouble mastering the courage to finish the 4th and 5th series because I came to be emotionally involved with both the protagonists and the antagonists. (I spoilered myself because I'm the type who read the fanfiction before I finish the series)
- - - - dad was born & grew up in HuBei
        
        he was and is outstanding in his ways
        
        he's smart
        
        he got into the highest places in the providence's math olympics competition, which is to say he's one of the best in the entire provience as far as math as concerderd
        
        this caught the attention of some universities, so they went to him and went "you can come here for university and you don't have to take gaokao to do it"
        
        he went to Nankai in TainJin
        
        1 more item...
        
        he really didn't took Gaokao
      - Mom
        
        born in He Bei
        
        Grew up in Tian Jin
        
        food
        
        salty tofu brain with daylilies in the sauce
        
        sweet fried buns (they are round)
        
        jianbing guozi (deep-fried salty pancakes: fry the dough with eggs, diced green onion shoots, and bean sauce, then fold it when its half dongue), it's a breakfast food you buy at special stands because its a bit too complicated for everyday home cooking
        
        fried yellow croaker (its a fish), and relatively easy&nice to buy in Tian Jin because it's a portal city near the yellow sea where yellow croakers are fished. (BTW yellow croakers get the name because of their yellowish color, not the sea)
        
        she can be very cute and weird, and it's so far from the image mothers are usually painted
      - all known are of the Han ethnic group
- - - - if you reply to argue, there's often counter attack
- - - - because for some reason its more interesting (I'm not sure why)
- - - - censoring system & policy
      - spokesperson of foregin affairs
      - some policies on the ethnic minority
- - - - just look at my preformance of this half year
