Doesn't like boy groups or Ayumi Hamasaki.
I just can't take boy groups seriously because they mostly use their looks to sell their stuff. Okay, so maybe some of them can sing, but c'mon. Like Arashi's new single "Dear Snow" - it's supposed to be a somewhat serious song, but I just can't take it seriously because it's coming from a boyband. Maybe if it was from an independent artist it would make a difference.
I just do...

I just don't see the appeal in them. And no, I am not a lesbian.
Ayumi Hamasaki. Omg. People say they cannot stand Miley Cyrus's voice, well I can't listen to Hamasaki’s for more than one minute without having to leave the video. It’s really sad, because she has a lot of singles and I would love to listen to them; sometimes I wish I was a fan too. But seriously. Let’s talk about her vibrato.
Worst. Vibrato. Ever. It’s too long and wobbly. You know I heard a quote once about vibrato – “when your vibrato becomes as wide as your range, it’s time to quit.” Her vibrato sounds like me tuning my violin. If you need proof, watch this from 4:48-4:53 & 6:12-6:17 http://www.jpopasia.com/play/3600/ayumi-hamasaki/fated.html see how it started getting longer at the end?? I cannot stand that kind of vibrato.
So there’s my rant, I’m sure I pissed off a lot of people but oh well, I’m entitled to my own opinion. P:

I am sooooooooooooo jealous. I wish I could wear frilly dresses and have a rich dad and go to balls and be 5'7 and stuff. It sounds like something from like Kuroshitsuji, or more like something out of the 19th century. It sounds so...so prefect. u_____u
The war between divorced parents, the war between the stepfather and father, the war between parent and child.
Ugh. So my parents have been divorced for 4 years. And yes, my father has stolen money from my mom, and my father even prevented us from going on a cruise, but he has changed. He doesn't do that anymore. So whenever something happens involving my father, my stepfather gets PISSED (My mom too, but not as much as he does). In fact, just 5 miuntes ago I could hea...

Ugh. So my parents have been divorced for 4 years. And yes, my father has stolen money from my mom, and my father even prevented us from going on a cruise, but he has changed. He doesn't do that anymore. So whenever something happens involving my father, my stepfather gets PISSED (My mom too, but not as much as he does). In fact, just 5 miuntes ago I could hear him yelling, cussing about my father, telling my brther to get off the phone with my father.
So my father took us out to the lake like he has been doing for the past 3 Sundays. But apperently no one told our stepfather or mom. So they're pissed. COMMON SENSE tells you that if your children have been going out to the lake with their father for the past 3 Sundays, and if it's a Sunday afternoon and they're not home then SURELY they are with their father. But no. They just yelled at us when we got home instead.
And here I am, left crying. I'm such a weak person after all...
· closeWarning: Rant coming up
Okay. Wow. I am speechless. My parents just got home from a funeral and asked if I had put the dog out all day. KNOWING that I have gas and I've been in pain all day and the only time I've gotten up is to use the restroom or to take some medicene. And how do they react when I say I haven't taken the dog out all day?
PISSED.
First of all, they should be the ones to know I put him out at least 2 times a day. ME. Not my brother. My sis...

PISSED.
First of all, they should be the ones to know I put him out at least 2 times a day. ME. Not my brother. My sister put him out once at 12 and that's all I know.
I GURANTEE that when they asked my brother he said "Oh well it's Rachel's job to put him out" or something.
WELL EXCUSE HIM. Sure, I sit on my bed all day on my laptop, but I make a point of putting him out. HE just sits in the family room on the computer he's not supposed to be on next to the door and never puts him out. My parents never said it was my sole job to put him out, my brother just assumed that since I always take responsiblity to put him out that it's my job. And now I'm PISSED.
I'm sorry that I would have random moments of pain from the time I woke up today that hurt so much that I just wanted to bite my finger off that I didn't put the dog out.
So today after flipping through this manga at my friend's house, I started reading Kyou Koi o Hajimemasu. (Today, love will start) It's about this nerdy girl that gets noticed by the most popular guy in school and they start going out and everyone is totally jealous etc. And while it does have a lot of "Omg wtf you are SUCH an idiot" moments their realtionship is really cute.

And it just made me think of what it would be like to have a boyfriend...it's really sad, this upcoming school year I'm going to be a junior in high school and I still haven't had my first kiss...but then again, I would rather wait for someone special than rush it. But then again it's high school, the boys are still immature and it's not like the realtionship would last for years...though one girl in my orchestra class last year had parents who met in high school. It's kind of awkward to think I could find that special someone right now. Anyways, but at the same time I'm shy...so maybe I'm just afraid of rejection?? But it's not like I am ugly or mean or anything...actually I remember in 7th grade when some popular guy called me sexy...yeah that was awkward -3-. And then freshman year...Omg...I still feel TOTALLY embarrassed about this...
Okay in my orchestra class there was this senior guy that sat next to me...his name was Bin...okay and it's werid because even though he is/was an excellent violin player, he hated the violin. But that's not where I'm going...he would always put his arm around me and stuff...but it was like in a teasy way...I don't know how to really explain it...I eventually came to believe he actually liked me...I remember one time he asked me if I was cold and I said no and then a second later I totally regretted it...ugghhhhhhh I told my outgoing parents I liked him...BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER...hopefully you can figure out where this is going...I don't think he liked me back.
I don't want to rush love...but...I don't know. I've had guys like me that I know they did and I rejected them...and I realized how cold I was afterwards, not wanting to talk to them....I hate it. I'm just so shy, scared of rejection...but it would be nice to have a boyfriend...go on date, someone to cuddle with, maybe hold hands...this is going to sound so stupid but while I do like to think I don't think this way, maybe manga is making me over-exaggerate having a boyfriend...
[/size] · closeOkay well you see for a very long time I've wanted to take a walk on the beach alone at night. So I decided tonight was the night so I asked my stepfather and surprisingly he said it was fine. (btw, you can only enter the resort I'm at if you're staying overnight so there's pretty much no crime.)

So I decided tonight was the night so I asked my stepfather and surprisingly he said it was fine. (btw, you can only enter the resort I'm at if you're staying overnight so there's pretty much no crime.) So I went out the front way and rode my bike (it only took a minute) to the boardwalk and walked to the beach. It was kind of embarrassing though, because as I was walking I was singing and at the end of the boardwalk there was a guy there and I think he heard me =>_<=. So then I started walking a bit on the beach but honestly I stayed within about 50ft of the boardwalk because I was scared. The beach was so wide and empty and stupidly enough I didn't bring a flashlight. u____u so I sat down and listened to my ipod while looking at the stars and it was so beautiful...the amount of stars you can see here is amazing compared to Atlanta, then again the resort is pretty much pitch black at night.
So in the end, it wasn't what I thought it would be like 
I might try again tomorrow night since that's our last night here but still...oh well tomorrow morning I'm going to try to wake up no later than 8:30 and change into my bathing suit and go for a bike ride on the beach while it's still empty. I've done that before and it was so beautiufl 
My family just got back from dinner at this restaurant that's at the very end of the resort we're staying at. And we had the perfect view of the golfcourse and part of the beach from our table, and once it got dark people started letting off fireworks in the distance. And it got me wishing that I had my own special someone that I could cuddle with, or walk on the beach at night with and hold hands. Oh great, now tears are coming out...

And then when we left the restaurant we looked up at all the stars in the sky...the South Carolina night sky is very different from the Atlanta sky. There are so many stars, and you could even see the Milky Way. Luckily my step father kept the top down on his convertible so the whole way back to our condo I was looking up at the stars...it was just so beautiful...but my parents ruined it with their sexual conversation with my brother. -.- They're so open about that stuff I wish they were the opposite just so they wouldn't talk about it. It's so awkward.
Anyways, I really want to go for a walk on the beach alone one night during this trip. Of course not tomorrow night, since everyone is going to be on the beach watching the fireworks. It's just it's so beautiful, I could sit there all alone as long as I wanted and stargaze....
[/size] · closeSo this morning at 5 AM we arrived at our beach condo in Kiawah (a resort in SC.) And before we left at midnight the night before I had posted on Facebook that at that rate we wouldn'y arrive until 5 AM and this girl that was in my Japanese class named Julia said she was there.

So right outside of Kiawah there's this huge outdoor shopping center called Freshfields, and in the center there's a big lawn. And around this time every year they have a free huge concert on the lawn. So my family went and as we were pulling into the parking lot I saw this girl and I was like "That looks like her...hmm" and we started walking and it was XD and her family was sitting right next to ours so we hungout and walked around Freshfields. It was so cool.
Other than that, nothing exciting lol. I just wanted something to write about.
So you see, I play this online game called Free Realms. Yes I know it's for kids but it's really fun. =x
So one day they updated their page on Facebook, so I posted something on their wall. And then this dude who is also a fan friend requested me, and I accepted because I thought he looked to be around my age.
Well, it turns out he is 24 and married. And he has this HUGE fetish for Asuka from Neon Genesis. And well, because I have long auburn hair...

Well, it turns out he is 24 and married. And he has this HUGE fetish for Asuka from Neon Genesis. And well, because I have long auburn hair and am skinny like her it’s kind of awkward...but I don’t think he is that messed up. Hopefully.
So then we started talking on Free Realms, and since he is unemployed he is also on all the time and it’s getting kind of awkward for me…apparently his wife wanted to add me and so I accepted her. And now he just gave me his phone number. O____o
So I really want to remove him and delete him and everything else. But I can’t just do that. But I want to. Hmmm...

I miss the train station, and going to the different neighborhoods, and talking to people in Japanese. I now know how my friend felt when she also left Japan after a 2 week stay during winter break.
But at the same time...Japan doesn't have as many trashcans on the streets, (no I'm being serious, it was so annoying o__O) nor does it have big front and backyards like mine, and many other things unique to America.
But then again, everyone will always be under the same sky, no matter how many timezones apart we are. Now I feel like crying again...
I wish I could type more, but there's too much to type, and the jet lag is really getting to me right now. @___@ so goodnight, or good morning whever you may be.
