The Thorny Topic of Race
I did mention at the start I wasn't white - and you may have thought 'ugh what? blonde, blue-eyed but not white?' Well, let me explain - I'm 1/4 African American or Black - so I may look like a white Latina girl, but actually I'm what they used to call back in the old days quadroon or 1/4 mulatta. Some people who are quadroon look like many other biracial people, some like me look almost white - that's DNA for you. In a few weeks I'll be getting back some DNA test results which I'll post on here - they'll let me know exactly what my background is in percentage terms.
TAI CHI
Tai Chi is a chinese martial art which I've been doing for about 7 and 1/2 years now...I started it after having been on a girls-only self defence course at a martial arts club...
I find it a perfect way to relax and its also great for keeping fit...
If you think Tae Kwon Do or Karate might be too macho for you...
Why not give Tai Chi a go.
There are different forms in Tai Chi - here is the 24-form....

WALKING BAREFOOT
I've always pretty much hated wearing shoes - it always seemed to me like my feet were being imprisoned - I used to do everything I could do avoid wearing my shoes at school. So now I'm able to decide how I want to dress I often go without shoes altogether in the summer and even sometimes in the winter....

If you want to give your feet a little style without wearing even flip-flops or sandals then you can wear some barefoot sandals - they're great for summer...
Maybe because I've gone without shoes for so long I find wearing heels absolute agony - so instead when I'm going to somewhere fancy I opt for some fashionable sandals...
I know a lot of girls who like to wear minimal footwear when out and who go barefoot indoors even if they wouldn't go barefoot in a city like me - but what's with guys - why do guys wear shoes almost all the time - what's that all about?
