Where to start? I am 19 (of course i'm going to lie, who wouldn't?) and I live in sunny, Sacramento. I have lived here most of my life, but started somewhere in the Caribbean.. I believe that I was conceived in Jamaica somewhere, because that is where my mom lived when she met my father. I was actually born in Georgetown, Grand Cayman (an island NW of Jamaica in the caribbean) on February 1st of <<>bleep<>>. to my hungarian and russian mother (white) and my korean (asian) father. lol.... During the hospital stay while giving birth to me, my mother had an allergic reaction to some medicine the doctors gave her, so we had to take off for better medical facilities.. That means that Tracy missed out on her day in paradise.. =( lol
So after my tropical island home was yanked out from under my feet, we made a home in Houston, Texas. I don't remember a whole bunch about this period of my life because, well, I was just born! =) Somewhere after we had been there about two and a half years, my parents decided to hire a brat, name her Jaimee and call her my baby sister..
I remember my first school was a private school called Abercrombie Academy. I don't know how I still remember to say it let alone spell it. That was kindergarten and first grade. I think my parents were still together at this point. I remember small bits about this time of my life. One of them was my baby sister getting into the family Benz and putting it in reverse. #1, this was an orange car (who buys an orange Mercedes?) and #2, my sister was 3 at the time. She ended up backing the car into a tree... =) I also remember running around in Wonder Woman Underoos, while my half brother, Ricky played outside with his friends. We lived pretty nice at this point and time, because my dad was an acupuncturist and made pretty good money.
Second grade was at a public school called Post Elementary. I remember this really well because I had a crush on a boy named Ryan Henry. My sister and I went to a daycare after school called Kids R Us.. This was around the beginning of the MTV and Madonna era, and I can remember having a vinyl skirt and lots of flourescent colored scarves I used to wear..The more I think about it, I wonder how I ended up with clothes like that! This was also around the time when Weird Al Yankovic was making an impression on the music industry.
My parents were divorced by this point, and looking back, I don't care. My father was an alcoholic and killed someone drunk driving. I think that is part of the reason that I hate it when people drink and drive. After they divorced, my dad used to pick me and Jaimee up, take us to a store and have us pick out one thing, and then drop us off. That was his idea of quality time.I am not upset or bitter about this. I think my mom did a great job of raising us on her own!
Summers were spent with Grandma and Grandpa in Arizona. Our aunts and uncles also lived there as well. This is where we were at when we found out that we were going to become California girls!!!
