So whose Lady Valmar?
I realized in all my posts I still haven't said much about who I am and I felt this entry should entail some of my background as well as about me.
I go by Lady Valmar, as mentioned in my first post. I love to write. In fact my husband and I had a discussion about why I love to write/read just a day ago. My reasons? It began with poetry and stories in 6th grade to which my teacher said I had promise. I didn't really think much of it because well writing just seemed to be too much work for me.
I liked reading by the time I hit 6th grade but I still wasn't a fan quite yet. When I was in Junior High, slowly I began to realize how much I loved reading and writing. It soon became a passion in high school that I couldn't shake.
Let me tell you something. Before I'd become passionate about writing/reading or even acting, I was the worst rebel ever. In fact I've always been a bit of a rebel, maybe too much for my own good. If my mom said go right, I went left predictably. Don't we all have something of a rebel inside?
Getting back on topic, in High School for freshman year, I failed miserably at keeping up with homework for English class or really making any effort for any class. I frankly, was too interested in picking up friends and being liked to think about important stuff like that. The one class I did take an interest in was Directions, whatever it really did for us.
I think my high school's idea was to help us learn how to interact with people, get jobs, give speeches, find out who we are etc. I guess it was useful to a degree. I did discover a few important things about myself: That while I was a shy person I was also a closet freak. I was loud and rebellious when I thought nobody could see. You know closet freaks...were sometimes unpredictable and definitely rebellious when we want to be.
Directions gave me a chance to work my charm skills and try out some acting parts for class. It was mandatory and even though the very thought of standing in front of a class was enough to make my heart start pounding and make me wheeze, I did find a sense of profound excitement at catching people's attention. I guess that's another thing I am a little bit of an attention junkie. I did stir up trouble quite a bit in Marching Band, I don't think I was really all that liked that year. Snort.
Then sophomore year rolled around and I began to make more of an effort in school partly because of my mom and partly because of encouragement from friends and one or two adults. Interestingly enough, that was the year I was in a deep depression and trying to stay afloat. I began to invest in reading a little more and once I picked up this book series titled "Legend of the Five Rings" thus my passion for reading overcame my lazy, rebellious nature.
Of course it was a little rebellious to read because apparently only stupid people/school girls or weirdos read at my school at least that was the running stereotype. Funny, I'm sure the same was said to people like Richard Dean Anderson (hero!) and Joe Flanigan at some point in their lives.
It's tragic the way intelligence and making a real effort is considered to be 'unimportant' in high school while makeup, friends and pursing relationships was important. Since most student's thought books sucked, my rebellious nature was to dive into my book passion just to piss them off and I was into books undeniably.
Junior year was really the turning point for me. It was my English teacher Mr. Cummings (yes that is really his name, no snickering) who one day took me aside during class and said I had talent. I wasn't just "promising" he said I had talent. Originally the Anime club had conducted meetings in his room at lunch time so I joined them.
I'll explain why I never liked those people very much or why I always felt so annoyed by them later. During lunch time I'd start writing about ideas or I'd chat with Mr. Cummings about how to write this or that.
Eventually I came up with a flow of unwritten stories between Sophomore, Junior and Senior year of high school. I can honestly say I'm not sure if I particpated in the talent show Junior or Senior year but there it is. My first time on stage, aside from Marching band performances, in a completely solo act.
I sang a song called 'Lunar Theme Arranged' that was from the original song track of the playstation game, "Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete." Ah what a classic game that was.
Well I sang it and apparently too quiet for them to hear I guess but the point was I had taken a huge step in facing stage fright. I truly believe writing/reading and acting are all interchangeable. It's all about getting into a scene and the character's feelings for the most part.
Alas I digress. After Junior year which held a few surprises I entered my Senior year. Finally, after all that horrible mess of freshman and sophomore year I was top dog again. Most senior's have this ego complex because they've almost made to adulthood. I was no exception.
Again I had English with Mr. Cummings and it became clear that I was not only going to write a novel and publish it but continue reading, writing and maybe even acting. I couldn't stop the fire that had begun to burn Junior year. I loved music and art but nothing could quite shake my passion for writing.
That year I was immortalized by freshman, showered with compliments, envied by the very same people who in 7th-8th grade had been disgusted by me and I was feeling good. Of course it wasn't all smooth sailing. I still was that shy, if slightly awkward teenager just barely figuring out my passions.
Mr. Cummings continued to encourage me throughout that year about my writing. I think I even found I loved history to the dot. Of course I didn't get a perfect A in the class but I'd made fairly high grades for Senior year. I'd found what I loved and it wasn't just video games though that is where I got the idea to be a graphic designer.
College. The biggest turning point yet. First year was unlike high school. No more annoying people though I did see a few of the girls who had despised my guts for whatever reason and they seemed just as out of place as I. There was so many people on campus and where to go from there?
I hated those lower English classes with a passion I'll admit but once I hit speech class and creative writing it was clear I couldn't deny what I needed to pursue. Sadly in all my class exploration I was unable to try out an acting class but I plan to do so once I go back to California.
If it hadn't of been for Mr. Cummings I might very well have not become as passionate for writing. I can't stop thinking about those few teachers who without their encouragement I would never have done so well in their class or in future classes.
I really owe it him and the others to say thank you with a big letter T at the beginning of it. So that is how come I'm so passionate about writing/reading and acting.
Things to keep in mind that I'm imparting to you the reader. There is always something new to learn in whatever the subject matter that might be. I may seem like I know it all but I don't. I'm still figuring out myself, life and not to mention the whole marriage thing, which I could write a few books on if I took the time. Just as in my writing I'm still learning. I continue to learn any and all things even subjects I despise like Biology and Politics. I like being well-rounded.
My basic history is all wrapped up in my passions, interests, experiences and anything else I can't think of right now.
I suppose since this is suppose to introduce you to me the writer enthusiat I might as well give basic details and the like.
Basic History of me (and those connected to me) 101
My birthday is August 22 and I'm 21 currently. Wow young huh? I truthfully have really never felt my age. I'm either too adult 'serious' or too young 'playful' for my age. I blame my charming good looks. XP. The problem being? I look like I'm 16 or at least 18. Curse it all. I know later on I'll be thanking my genes but for now its a never ending uphill journey in which people mistake me for having the mind of a 16 year old because I look like one.
Other times old guys will hit on me and I had one 14 year old try to ask me out once. Of course I said no! Sigh... It can get really annoying after awhile.
To be honest if I dress just right I can sometimes look like I'm actually 25. I guess its good to have a versatile look, but I swear its darn hard to look my age. Mostly because I'm a petite 5'2" and I have that cute appeal going for me.
If they only knew... LOL! Wearing a mask is hard but more so when you've never willingly created the facade.
Other facts that you may not know: I am woman. Duh! I'm married...sorry dudes/dudettes. My heritage is Irish and Italian which can be a blessing and a curse at times. I get so many jokes about drinking, my temper and about sex that its just ridiculous. Seriously where do these stereotypical ideas come from anyways?
My hair is very unique in that it looks pretty black in doors and once I'm outside its clear that my hair is actually a brown with reddish gold highlights throughout. My eyes are really nothing special just a brown. Wish it was hazel but eh.
I went to San Gabriel High school and then Pasadena City College. My husband is an Airmen mechanic in the Navy and is currently stationed at Pax River, Maryland. Which is why I'm living in Maryland right now.
My husband is Chinese and German. You can imagine what are kids are going to be. Melting pot across the board almost. His mom is Chinese and his dad German. My mom is Irish and my dad Italian by the way. My husband's father was formerly Navy and went to Vietnam where he was a bosamate (not sure if that is spelled right). He didn't see too much action and he did develop Diabetes from that Agent Orange chemical spray.
Unfortunately, my father-in-law has Type 2 Diabetes and currently has to do dialysis every other day. He is also currently recovering from a surgery to fix his hip and his foot which were from a previous injury in which he fell.
In addition to having been Navy, my father in law joined the police force and was at one time State police then federal police. He has so many trophies, awards and pictures its truly sick. You can only imagine his resume. Also his great, great grandfather is Chuck Yeager. Its true. So yes the last name is Yeager. I added on my husband's last name to mine.
My mother in law is also pretty impressive with her own resume seeing as she worked for a fine Italian restaurant then Disney and now for one of the popular news stations. She is a very well known cook and if she quit her job today, her crew wouldn't know what to do without her.
Rather a lot to live up to? There's more. My mother-in-law's mother is a very famous Chinese painter. She is known by the ambassdor of Taiwan, has I believe two Chinese Temples in her name, various restaurants she has opened, has a really impressive collection of jewerly (real) including pottery, perfume, rugs, pictures and antiques. Not to mention she is an adovocate for the Fah Long Gao in China and elsewhere.
She is a non sense kind of woman. She either likes you or doesn't. If she doesn't...let's just say your in a world of hurt. Stay on her good side for sure. She is one of the sweetest people I've met and at the end of the day when you put away all those impressive titles and things, it is clear she is a sweet and dedicated Grandmother.
Think that's all? There's more. Her daughter is married to a CIA agent who can't really tell us much about the cases he works on. When I married in I knew what I was getting into but it just became that much more real when I finally met my husband's famous Grandmother in person. All I can say is if you know anything about D.C./Silver Springs you might have heard her name. She's is pretty much famous there.
Now as for her husband. He use to work for the government and he is a wonderful old Irish man who also served in Vietnam and seems to speak basic Chinese pretty well. He is just so cool. He likes Chinese food and drinks this famous Chinese beer whenever he can. Which I tried and instantly loved.
The whole family is sweet and though the whole heirarchy thing can be frustrating at times and the cultural differences a problem too, I love his family.
Which brings me to my family. We're more humble in comparison. My mom has had a hard life moving around and dealing with various family issues. To note my mother in law probably had it worse in China when she lived there.
My mom is a entity all her own. The best I can explain without demeaning or in any way making her feel bad is to say you really have to know her like I do to understand her enough to not dislike her like most people tend to. Hope that made sense.
With that in mind she has been my best friend all the way on up to College. She supported my love for music and art, and too encouraged me to write. She made sure that I had as many childhood experiences as possible. Everything from library reading, pool fun, awana (Church - girl/boy scouts), fairs, trips to theme parks, museums, roller skating, ballet, tap dancing, swimming, karate classes, rides to Aunt Virginia's house (who I will talk about in my next blog post) etc. I've had so many pets thanks to my mom.
Lizards, two geese, mice, birds, fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, chickens, dogs, cats, darkling beetles, lady bugs, daddy long leg spiders (lol), ant farm and a worm farm. We also babysat an Iguana, a huge turtle, a Chinchilla (nasty animal) and someone's Macaw. Having pets was one of the best highlights of my life.
Some of my mom interests include crafts and quilting. She loves her computer and cherishes her beloved Dusty. I believe he is part Siamese and Persian. Certainly has that meow of a Siamese mixed with Persian. He's a sweetie but he can still get into a lot of trouble. Right now my mom is babysitting my cat, Scribbles.
There is actually a hugely hilarious story about my cat but I will talk about it in another blog post since this one is a little long.
My mom isn't perfect but she did the best she could for me when I was a kid and I can't thank my mom enough for all the support and love she has given me.
My dad is another story. He isn't exactly famous or anything but he does have some interesting history. His family was Italian and thus the coffee was thick and syrupy. His mom cooked nothing but Quaker style and All-American style. My dad didn't learn to read well and had to teach himself how by reading the bible. Which I've always thought was awesome. He use to run a coffee shop and wore these crazy colored outfits. Apparently he was such the popular guy that my mom tells me he dated four women in addition to her at one time.
Go dad...but bad dad! He eventually married my mom and began working at Narrowmore Christian Foundation. He did anything from printing newspapers to paychecks to mail etc. He was the go to guy. He's probably one of the goofiest people I've ever known.
I haven't really shared anything quite like this online but he use to read me Donald Duck and other Disney stories in which he mimicked Donald's voice. I loved it! My dad still calls me baby or some kind of other kooky combination. Ugh like Bobby...one time he called me booby and I had to tell him uh...dad do you realize what you just said?!
My dad has always had a love for cowboys and trains. Typical guy stuff I guess. My dad also loves computer games and when I was old enough to try games, I spent a lot of time playing them with him nearby.
Fond memories I'll keep because other than games or sometimes watching movies together my didn't know what to do with me. LOL! I guess he really wanted a boy. Oh well.
LOL! As for me, any fame I can claim includes my Marching Band history, my few stories which may be still cherished by my English Teachers, my repore with the game club in high school, my repore with both the fencing group and the lunch brunch group (CC-Lounge people, geek squad etc) at Pasadena City College.
And apparently I have some fans now whether it be about my fanfiction or awaiting my novel anxiously. Which is awesome! Did I mention I wear glasses? I would get contacts but something about the geek look seems to make me hot...or at least people tell me that especially my husband. Ow!
I won't mention much about my interests in books, movies, tv shows and video games because I give a list of all them that can be found at my live journal profile. Which reminds me I now have a fictionpress.com profile. It is a sister/brother site to fanfiction.net. I plan to start posting some original fiction there soon.
http://www.fictionpress.com/u/566933/
That pretty much sums me up though there is still a lot to uncover yet. I think I'll wrap up this post as I've rambled on long enough. I should have my original fiction 'After Tonight' up by Thursday. Apparently there is a waiting period for all new users.
