Shi’s FAQ’s
Everything you always ask.
1. What exactly does “pwned” mean?
This is the highest ranked definition of “PWNED” on urbanDictionary.com:
originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer
misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to
say, so-and-so “has been owned.”
Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”
It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
OR
“That team totally pwned us.”
I’ve been asked that at least 10 times… so there you go.
EDIT: Pronunciation: I pronounce “pwned” ‘pooohned’
— like phoned, without the ‘h’. The actual pronunciation is
“owned” I believe.
2. What ethnicity are you?
My last name is Nguyen. If that’s not enough of an indication of
what ethnicity I am, then the word “VIETNAMESE” should help.
3. What does “Shi” mean and why did you choose that name?
I always try to get names with the lowest number of letters
possible. The first name I always go for is “ai” which means
“love” in Japanese. [My blogger.com name is ai]
The second name I go for is “Shi”. It means “death” or the number 4 in Japanese.
4. Why are you such a bitch?
Because people are idiots. That and the fact that I get the
distinct feeling that the voice that comes across the screen is not
quite as friendly as the way I actually speak. People that know
me can probably “hear” the intonations of my speech through my writing
— but I can see how my written voice can be pretty harsh.
So to sum it up: I may not be as angry as I sound. In real life I
have a very high-pitched asian voice that makes up for the nasty shit I
say.
5. Will you comment me back?/ Give me eprops? / Go to my site?
Honestly, I go to about 90% of my commenter’s sites, just to see what
type of people I reach. I almost never comment unless I know the
person or if their entry strikes something in me. I also almost
never comment in reply unless your comment strikes something in
me. But don’t worry, your comments are being read and are
extremely appreciated.
I read 100% of all my comments.
Oh yeah, and asking me to comment on your site will result in a
comment-only or 0 comments if I comment at all, depending on how much
you annoy me that day. The same goes for asking for
e-props. Thanks. Good day.
I think that pretty much covers most of it. =] The next question
and answer session will be a “Dear Kim” so if you have any questions
you didn’t ask yet, feel free to post them here.
