Introduction

I guess I never really introdced myself.

I'm an asian, female Californian teenager .

Sadly, I am stuck in the United States, where the majority of people don't know the differece between the portly Brazilian Ronaldo and the effeminate Portuguese one (both of whom I love).

I follow the English Premiership intensively and (disclaimer) I am a proud Manchester United fan. I won't pretend (and probably cannot pretend) that I'm not biased. I also have unexplainable loves for Wigan, Reading and Portsmouth (okay, maybe not so unexplainable: Luis Antonio Valencia is LOVE, as are huge-obese-Wigan-folk, Ulysees de la Cruz, David James, Sol Campbell...). I hate Chelsea. Fix that: I would love them if they didn't have Abramovich, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole. Or I hate seeing their names, and not Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho and Mourinho's, attributed to Chelsea's success.

I don't have any La Liga preference, but believe that Valencia C.F. is an amazing team. And as proof that I don't just like pretty players, I think Fernando Torres is completely useless, although I believe in Atletico Madrid's potential. Barcelona is amazing when they are "on", and although Real Madrid is more of a joke than anything else at this moment, they were and still can be amazing.

Despite all the diving, I like Portuguese and Italian football. I'm an Inter fan, and hate Totti and Kaka. And I think that Portuguese teams can go far in Europe as well. I'll also ocassionally check out the Bundesliga, although the style of play in that league doesn't excite me that much.

Outside of football, I figure skate [STEPHANE LAMBIEL IS MY FUCKING HERO] and enjoy basketball [GOOOOO PISTONS AND OMFG TAYSHAUN PRINCE I WANT YOUR BABIES] and art [FAUVE-ISM RULES].
