I watched a horrible play yesterday. Do you realise how hard it is to giggle without actually making any noise? I want two and half hours of my life BACK.

If you follow metafandom, you have probably already seen this, but if you don't, read deepad's post now: I Didn't Dream of Dragons. I found myself nodding along and simultaneously feel very grateful about my cultural background and think of my own bilingual angst, about which I will probably post something soon (when I have time to sit down and write).

my parents were very careful to ensure that I did not become one of Those People, who claim not to know their mother tongue very well.

Heh, me and my siblings are Those People, while my uncles and aunts all made sure my cousins were completely bilingual. It's... interesting when we get together because you know there are some issues of cultural superiority at play. :P

Guilty.
