Onigiri in a Fruits Basket

I thought the best way to begin would be to explain the name of my blog. The name comes from my favorite anime series Fruits Basket. An onigiri is a Japanese rice ball, the equivalent of a the sandwich in western society. To be an onigiri in a fruits baskets is obviously a little odd.

Sometimes thats how I feel, little like the odd man in the totem pole. I live in the heartland of America and all of my friends here are American. Don't get me wrong I love my friends dearly, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if it would be different having at least ONE Asian friend close by.

Someone who doesn't think its weird to eat rice everyday. Someone automatically takes their shoes off upon entering a home. Someone who knows that theres a difference between a Thai girl and a Taiwanese girl (ARG! I hate when people think I'm Taiwanese when I say I'm Thai). No, I am not the only Asian in this state, but for some reason I just have never made friends with any. All the ones I know are out in California. Maybe I'm too American?

Eh, who knows.

My very first post. What to write, what to write? There's so many things I'm interested in it hard to just pick one. Do I write a food blog and satisfy the amateur food/chef side of me? Or do I write about anime and all things Asian to satisfy the Asian side of me? How about blogging about books as I'm a bookworm? Aw, what the hell, I guess I can write about it all huh? It is my blog after all ^-^
