spoiled chinese girl

Seriously. Everyone wants a piece of me suddenly.

Yesterday I was invited to be interviewed by an internationally acclaimed online author regarding an event, and today spent a load of time assisting her in her article that should be published sometime soon. All well and dandy.

Then this afternoon I find out that my name, and more specifically, my domain name, are being the object of some ridicule, but overall harmless fun. I really don’t think this girl means any harm with what she wrote. I’ve had comments like hers for years now regarding my last name so it’s nothing new nor very creative. It’s just there. Anyways.

I just was messaged and asked to be one of the riders of a new unicycling video/DVD to be showcased as one of many female riders in the sport. I can’t do a lot, but hey, being asked is nice, and I most definately agreed to it. Portfolio of clips would be great. I’m working on sponsership and joining a factory team

Seriously. This weekend has been the ego boost I’ve been needing for a while now.

I’m not being emo for once. I keep getting down, then getting inspired again by everything that surrounds me, it’s like the world knows I need *something* and there it is, right infront of me when I need it most. It rules.

I was getting all apathetic and not caring about anything, and suddenly there was a set of interview questions regarding an event I took part of last year, and was invited back to this year. It made me remember what I’ve done in the past two years, and it’s not a lot, but it’s been significant anyways. It just made me realize what I’ve actually been able to accomplish which is more than what I ever thought I would have been able to. I’ll post my unabridged answers after the article’s posted, I don’t want to ruin it for anyone.

I keep remembering bits of my past now. I’ve never been one to remember what happened, and generally am extremely forgetful, but currently there’s parts of my life resurfacing through my friends, and it’s sad because some of these are the saddest situations I’d ever had to been a part of, and it’s what they’re going through, and I don’t have a clue what to do about it. I’m not a comforting person, I stay one step away from everyone which is my defense but also likely my downfall. I know that he knows I care about him and he’s my best friend. That’s about all I can really rely on. And I hope it all works out for the best.

What are you doing?
Realizing I don’t think about myself nearly enough. That my future is flashing by me quickly.

What do you feel?
A strong sense of apathy, missing the time my life meant something.

What do you want?
Other than “someone to be with”, just mainly a sense of balance.

What do you avoid?
Confrontation, feelings and myself.

What do you expect?
This won’t last forever, and when it is done, we’ll be left with cockroaches and Cher

I was being bored and checking out my trackers for my blog, then decided to check on my professional webpage, http://angelapoon.com, and today, there was a HUGE influx of hits. I went from zero hits for the past week, to fourteen (14) in one day. So I checked out where these links were coming from. Livejournal’s?? I checked further. Mainly one livejournal entry, although there’s been one other that copy/pasted the text into their own blog. I personally think it’s funny, and am not hurt by it at all. I mean, any publicity is good publicity, right? My professional webpage is a legitimate professional online resume of my work, and it’s *my* name. You can have whatever opinion you want of it, I’m proud of my name and heritage and my name existed long before any slang term for female genitalia came about that sounds/is spelt the same, which was taken from another languate anyways.

And it definately is good publicity. Because now, when you google my name, my webpage comes up first. Last time I checked, it was the like on the second page, with a whole slew of *OTHER* Angela Poon’s being ahead of me. So Thanks, person with lowbrow humour!

maybe you see this as “angel a poon”, or maybe you see what it is – angela poon. i saw this link with the hypertext reading “Angela Poon Dot Com” so i got it right, but everyone else seems to have mistaken it for “angel a poon” so far.

either way, the site does not contain poon. well, sort of, but not poon you’d get to see, paid membership or not. in fact, there is no membership!

i feel sorry for this angela poon person. i’d change my name. or at the least, pick a better domain name. if i were a potential employer, and was given angelapoon.com as a resume link, i’d disregard it as either a sick joke or spam mail.

but i’m not a potential employer and i’m me, so i’m still getting a laugh out of this, lol. and of course i had to send it in to collegehumor so that this can be widely enjoyed by us with lowbrow humor.

Apparently I'm famous for just being me! *Shrugs* Whatever.
Anyone have livejournal? I say you should go comment that you know me!

**UPDATE**: You actually don't need a livejournal account to post comments. So I'm now asking everyone who comes to my IAM page, to go to this site and comment to them. You do it anonymously but it'd still be nice to have my friends stick up for me.

**UPDATE²**: Currently if you google “Angela Poon” my webpage comes out on top! This rules! Previously it was like somewhere on the second page of hits, and now it's the #1 site. Kickass.
