BioBeing a stupid teenager is confusing.
Being a stupid second-generation Asian teenager, is even more confusing.
What the heck is this?:
For lack of a better term, I called this a "Sloppy Cultural Archive." What it is .. is something that I've wanted to do for a long time.
Name Etymology:
The name is a huge play on words seeing as how you can read it in a billion ways. The three that stand out for me are:

Name Etymology:
The name is a huge play on words seeing as how you can read it in a billion ways. The three that stand out for me are:
- Most obviously, in Thai, the word "mai" means "not" and "narak" means "cute" (literally "narak" translates as "face love" or "lovely face" as adjectives go after nouns). So, simply put, I am "not cute" - an expression that I'm used to hearing in English.
- Additionally, you could separate the words to mai - na - rak, meaning "shouldn't love." That's as in "a person whom you'd be better off not getting involved with."
- Lastly, the word "mai" (pronounced differently from the above two examples) also translates as "widow." The idea of a cute widow or a deadly bride who doesn't take crap from anyone has always been interesting to me.
