It's been almost a year since my last post... Which means it's almost summer break again, woo! Actually, I'm very close to closing this school year, exactly one week away from finishing. And boy, a lot of shit happened in the past year didn't it? Our economy went belly up, we have our first black president, and I suddenly prefer Facebook over Myspace, and yet I still can't figure out Twitter all too much yet. >_>' But this rant isn't on any of those things, not yet at least. [Maybe when I have more time and actually remember I have a Blogger I'll do something else.] Instead, I'm dedicating this bit of cyberspace to grades.
I pretty much began to despise school just a little more every passing week until I was finally left with just too much shit to bear. =_= As my analogy of school goes: 8th grade was like your first time, a little painful and scary. Freshman year was all the in-between sex that rocked on hard, even if it was a bit awkward and you slept with a few sketchy people. And now this year was like the condom breaking... and you forgot to take the pill. Congratulations, you now have several painstaking "weeks" of peeing on a little strip and waiting to see if you have to prepare for bending over a toilet bowl every morning or if you have can drink all night until you're bending over, and I don't mean over a toilet. Well, that's pretty much the summary of my last three years at my school. Fucked, fun, and then fucked again. But this gave me some time to think, and I finally was able to pinpoint the root of evil [besides faulty condoms, money, and the your significant other]: Grades.
Now, some people are going to argue for and against this, and it's all up to you. Some people also think it's a necessity to go to church Sunday and pray in order to be closer to God and go to heaven or that beating dogs in the streets in front of their families is a necessity, and in the same sense some people will think that grades are a necessity. But I'm the rebel who'd rather play video games about killing zombies than go anywhere on Sundays, the one who would rather beat people in the streets in front of their dogs, and in the same sense I'm the one who'd rather go to school for the sake of learning. [/nerdrage] But I digress (kind of).
The point to the last paragraph was that I actually do want to learn something from school while others just mindlessly trot off to the place their parents pay so much money for to smoke pot and get kicked out. But honestly, it's been getting harder and harder for me to stick to my original purpose of attending this institute. Suddenly my teachers become extremely bad; their teaching strategies are more of a whimsical stone throw toward their subjects in the dark and my knowledge intake to daydream ratio is suddenly 1:25. Grades are suddenly where it's at. Before I could sit there, listen, learn, and my A's would just come naturally. But since all my teachers talk about are their dead husbands, their dogs, their daughters, and horses I'm subject to over 50 pages of reading a night on books that are meant to take up space and money rather than actually be read. :'> And honestly, I hate most textbook reading, why lie. And when it comes down to it, I still need the grade whether I like to read or not.
But isn't it strange that as the will to learn goes down, the drive for grades go up, and we're suddenly striving for letters rather than knowledge? My god, they're LETTERS. D: They're a series of lines in which we use to create words and learn to read and suddenly they're the only thing that will make us float or sink when it comes to college. Shouldn't we be tested on what we've learned throughout the whole year or semester or quarter so that schools know that we have retained our net knowledge rather than give us brownie points on if we did work, or if we spoke in class, or if we were able to cram 5 minutes on a chapter before a "test"? Personally, I think Asia's where it's at. They depend mostly on entrance exams rather than grades in order to get into college. In this sense, Asian students study so that they can get into college with their knowledge rather than to study in order to get a letter and then forget the material later. The American's education grading system is bullshit in my opinion.
Plus, subjective grading is almost as idiotic as teachers who hold their students to the standards of their Harvard-bound daughters. So if a teacher just doesn't like you because of how you look, how you talk, or what you say, they suddenly can bring your grade down a whole letter? Just because a student and teacher have an incident, the teacher can suddenly ruin the student's chances of a higher education? Is that what America is resorting to? To letting personal preferences get in the way of good work and a smart student's future? Thanks America, I salute you.
And if I sound grouchy and disjointed in this rant, it's because I'm just disjointed and grouchy right now. e.e' Finals are coming up and the American education system will once again take a shot in the dark and I have a feeling it's going to nail me in the temple. =_=' Anyway, all you smarties and... not-so-smarties go have fun in your little cocoon called school. Go smoke your doobies, slit your wrists, and study your asses off for a letter that your teacher may or may not have given you due to how your hair is arranged. <3

The Dawn In Life
Wow, I love to post these in 3-month increments. Good job, me. Alright, anyway. I'm here today to talk about the bitches of life. I don't mean those blond things that walk down your high school hall and bump you into some lockers. No, fuck them. I'm here to talk about the joys of internet drama. Yay drama and dramu. If you don't know what dramu is, googles always there. Hopefully you're not too lazy to look that up... then again. Whatever, anyway. Oh right, and I'll make a little disclaimer here that if you happen to know who I'm talking about and you are her 'friend' then I believe you shouldn't go crying to her about this. Why? Because that makes you a cry baby and because it's pretty much not going to solve that fact that I'm here and bitching about it already. :'D
So, I'm here to talk about that person in your internet life who seems to be your best friend for a few months, years, a good deal of time. And then that long-term couple/marriage thing kicks in. Ya, you know. The point in a relationship where you two move in together. Yeah, at that point your relationship is fucked. No, none of that 'oh, it's only going to get stronger because we're with each other more' commitment crap. It's the commitment that's going to drive you up the walls, in the gutter, and over the edge. Anyway, while you begin to live with that person, eventually, you're going to pick up on those annoying little habits. They leave the toilet seat up, they drink out of the carton, they like to wear your bra/boxers when you're out of the house. I dunno what kind of life your lead. D:
Well, it's just like that. After a while you and your internet bud begin to rub each other the wrong way. And a grope or so later, you two begin yelling about anime men, roleplaying skills, or internet boyfriends who really don't matter when it comes down to it. But yeah, so there you two are. Fighting. And in the end, you guys are going to start calling each other fake friends, or friends who never really cared, and the like. Then you go your separate ways. Now I'm going to point out a few things here:
1) If you get upset over an internet conflict with a person you have never met in real life, you probably spend too much time on the internet anyway. Get a life. No really, get out there, walk around, go see what the sun looks like for a change.
2) If you consider suicide after a fight with your interwebz buddy, I suggest counciling and perhaps some real life friends. I mean, god. Get a pet or something. People who you have never met in your life should not control your feeling this much.
3) If you have murderous thoughts about the person you have just fought with, I suggest you take some Benadryl and beat your 'Mr. Cuddles' until you fall asleep and forget about the whole incident.
Alright, so I guess (since this is my blog) I'll give an example. :'3 This will also clear up the title a bit. [So yeah, if you don't want to read about my personal bullshit, then stop here. :'> Or if you want some lulz, you can keep reading.]
So there was this girl I once met on the internet through Gaia (hoshi- srsly) and we started out as RP buddies on MSN. And then there was this RP community, apparently, on MSN which I was suddenly apart of. And we hung out, RPed, drama went down, etc. Now before I continue on this rant, I shall explain what kind of person this girl was. We will call her Dawn. Well, Dawn was swell and what not, kind of funny and sarcastic in her own way. She did have a tendency to make enemies quite easily, but the way she would explain it make it sound like whoever the other person was was a total bitch/dick and were easily hated. She had one internet hubby in my memory and they split up faster than [enter a witty split simile here]. Also, from what I know she would have talk to me about her suicidal thoughts and after the hubby break up shit, she supposedly committed suicide by overdose and failed. She came back, I freaked, she apologized, life went one. Now, she did not do this tactic once. Nor did she do it twice. When I was still talking to her, she did it THREE TIMES. Failed, all times. No, nothing fishy or attention whoring here.
One year later, almost EXACTLY one year later, shit went down that concerned a guy and she got pissed at me because... well, sure why not. I'm on a role here. The guy apparently liked Dawn, and Dawn liked him back. They tried going out once, and that lead to 3 months of them not talking to each other and Dawn calling him a loser, stupid, and bastard behind his back. Then several months later he asked me out and I was all 'Sure, why the hell now. :'3' and then I told Dawn and she began to bitch. No, not a small bitch, not a naggy bitch, not even those bitch sessions that girls do when their archenemy-girl wears the same shirt as them. This was a bitchfest to top all bitchfests. She went on and on about how I back stabbed her and how I was inconsiderate and how she knew I knew that she still liked him. And apparently, Dawn has crushes on many of these internet men and had one a little bit ago on another RP friend. Our friend went out with this internet manX whom Dawn apparently liked and no one knew. She bitched at my friend, and my friend broke up with internet manX to make Dawn happy. In Dawn's eyes, this 'saved their friendship'. Anyway, apparently I wasn't going to break up with perviously said internet guy and we got into this fight where Dawn said 'I don't ever want to see your sorry name again' and I went to block all her MSN accounts (like all 10) off my MSN accounts (all 3 or 4, which in math terms is 30-40 blocks) and she stopped me, said she didn't mean it. I was pissed so I blew her off which, apparently she didn't like (I'm not sure why [/sarcasm]) and we didn't talk for... ever.
Well things went awry with said guy and we broke it off. Oh, look who's the nicest person in the world now. Yes, Dawn PMs me on Gaia one day saying how she didn't hate me and hated how things turned out because of a guy, whatever. I didn't bother reading it fully... Anyway, she said she loved me like a sister and stuff. Oh, did I mention that said guy dumped me for Dawn?
So then 2 months went by, and somehow said guy is with me again and left Dawn. Woah-ho-ho, look who's on Dawn's hate list! Yes, apparently she sent me another PM telling me I was her 'enemy number one', oh you think I'm exaggerating things? Well, sadly, I'm not. And yeah, two months later said guy breaks up with me because of, well look at that, Dawn. Dawn says nothing to me and Dawn + Said Guys are friends, not dating... yet.
Well, I've had it with that RP group and the people in it so I take a hiatus from RPing and MSN all together. I think I avoided AIM as well... In any case, I come back about 4-5 months later where said guy embraces me like a long lost sister and we talk a bit. Enter Dawn. Oh look, Gaia again! Well, this time she asks me why I 'haven't taken my fall gracefully and I have to keep showing up unwanted, blah blah blah'. Funny thing is, the only person from the RP group was said guy. Nice, huh? Well, she sent hate mail, I sent some back. Go female grudge hormones! And funnily enough, said guy dumps Dawn about a week or two after we started talking again. Do I feel like a bitch? Yeah, but it feels too good to be bad. :']
Hohohohoh, well it's been another few months and I've gotten over said guy and I've joined this forum which said guy introduced to me several months ago. It's awesome, it's cool, go there now. It's call [www.RPAnime.com] (most people there are the shit <3). Well, look who decided to pop back up again! Good ol' Dawn. Oh, this time it gets better. Dawn decides to acknowledge me by using the terms 'ugh' and the facial expression ':/'. Well I was new them and didn't like to talk up in the shoutbox so when I finally did, she went 'Ugh, you made it talk. :/'. I shit you not, I laughed my ass off. It had been almost a year since the whole incident and she still had her ovaries in a knot. Well, after that I haven't seen her... Oh wait, I did. In a stream of annoy MSN chat rooms, she was there. I didn't notice her and she didn't use a single 'ugh' or ':/'. When I asked who she was, she happily said 'Nyte, it's me! Dawn!'. Yeah, I'm confused.
-End Personal Segment-
Well, just remember kids. There will a Dawn in your life, and if you're lucky there may be more waiting for you. I don't know if this is true for all Dawn, but when I met my Dawn I was always nervous around her and had that constant nausious feeling. Well, anyway. All is said and done. Go whore yourselves out to the wonderful world of the internet. :'3

Real Men vs. Fake Men [Flaming, here I come.]
Oh my, I'm on a crunch session today. xD This is my SECOND post for today (kinda) and this topic is one something fairly close to me. It's about anime. Dear lord, I believe it is the best thing created on this earth next to sex and milk tea. :D Ready? Okay!
So, in this lovely rant I will compare real-life men to anime men. Why? Because I am an "otaku" who doesn't believe in love. Wonderful, not that you know what this post is about, you can skip over it and wait for the next rant or you can read and be a hater. But remember: Don't hate the player, hate the game! [D: Oh dear lord, "Bring it On" is fucking with my head.]
Anyway, I'm first going to go with the 'cons' of real men. Real men hurt you. That is con numoro uno. There is never a bulk of hot real men. Seriously, I believe that my school lacks good looking, let alone decent. Then again, my idea of decent compared to the vast majority is very different. I tend to go for black hair, thin, glasses. Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand. Real men can be unpredictable. Now this can go either way since unpredictablility can be good or bad, totally your choice.
But now I'm lazy and switch over to the cons of fake men, anime men. Now to clarify, when I say "anime men" I don't just mean characters from animes, I mean games and mangas and anything else along those lines. Spiffy, eh? Anyway, I will say that I am pro-anime man. Why? Because that's pretty much how much my life amounts to. D: Like I said, if you hate it, that's your fault for reading. I told you earlier what this was about. e_e
So, the cons of the anime men. Well for one, they aren't real. They do not exist, they are pixels of color and lines, and they will never amount to anything in this world other than that. As much as it semi-pains me to say it, it is all very true. They will never come to life, they will never be real, etc. So now that everyone knows I'm not completely insane, let's continue. The next bad thing is that they can be predictable and unrealistic. Which, in some sense, can be good. But it's boring and unrealistic, so unblelievable [not in the good sense]. Another bad thing is that they can be very 2-dementinal. Not as in paper-flat 2-D, but personality-wise. Thus boring and unrealistic. D: So in short, they are unrealistic and never going to be real.
Anyway, pro-anime men... hmm.. Well, I have to say first off that they are much better looking. Very much so they are 2-D and aren't real, but I guess I just suck so much that I prefer pixels over flesh. :/ Totally your choice for reading this. Anyway, they have sexy voices along with their sexiness. Another thing is that they can have personalities that just swoon you at first glance. [Eh, here we go, fangirl time O:] They can have cool catch phrases which sound so much better in animes than in real life. Their hair styles are fucking awesome and tend to stay like that, even after a 50-mile run or a battle with a 500-headed monster. They can have cool powers, interesting attributes, and they say things that make you want to hug them. <3 I will stop here since I am both lazy and do not wish to fangirl beyond my control. xD
As for real men, well they /can/ be good looking. They can also be kind and diverse. But the best thing is that they are real. Holy fucking crap, I can touch them. O: Fun, huh? They're there so that you can hug them, or cling to them, or cry on their shoulder. They can hold you, snuggle with you, fuck you. All that good jazz. But besides that, I don't see anything that great about them. D: I am a pathetic person, but yes, that is all. <\3
So, here is my half assed post on how much I fail at life. :D I hope you enjoyed, stay tuned for something completely different. <3

Sad Life of a Teen Star
D: Dear lordly lord, it's been, what... over 3-4 months since I last posted. e_e Oh dear lord. Well, I offically have one fan, so I am a fucking happy camper. :3
Well, today I come to speak about teen stars. You see them everywhere, Disney, Nick, abcFamily, etc etc. They tend to get pregnant, discover drugs, find random shit off the ground and sniff it then find themselves next to a hooker named "Daimond Rodriguez". Anyway, the gist is that they tend to fuck up more than the average teen.
But besides all the media-beaten crap that's shoved down our throats every day of our lives, teen stars have good things and worse things going for them. But since this is a rant, I believe I will go ahead and take the 'worse things' road.
I'm not too sure what the hell brought this thought into my head today, but it hit me with interest. I just realized how many underaged, premature children are out in the world who obsess/crush on these teen stars. It disturbed me, yet it made me giggle like a school girl. Think Drake Bell and a 9-year-old girl.... yeah, image is not pretty but it makes you giggle like a school girl. ;P Dear lord that's messed up. I mean, it's flattering but slightly creepy, no?
What's even creepier are those girls/guys who talk themselves into some weird state where they believe that their star of choice and themselves will somehow get married or go out... and they're 9! Dx Oh for the love of christ, 9 years old. And they take it fucking seriously oh lord... Okay, time for me to switch out because I am creeping myself out. D:
Okay, another fairly bad thing is how teen stars are whipping the media and all girls/guys minds. They're putting all these fucking ideals into our heads and it makes us seem inferior. But, I can't say that /all/ teen stars do it. In fact, I can't say that most of them even want to. But then again, I can't say that all of them are against it. What I'm saying is, that some/many stars like to make children believe that if you aren't a size 2 at least and your skin is perfectly clear and your hair isn't layered and highlighted/dyed, then you aren't the 'ideal teen'. Even if they, themselves, don't believe that they are doing it, the producers of shows/commercials/movies really understand. And the reason for this? Because after generations and years of brainwashing, little by little, we have reached the point when we refuse to see a movie or show if the people in them are 'unattractive'.
So what is the "ideal teen"? Well, like I said before, perfect, unblemished skin. Perferably skinny, somewhere between the sizes of 0 to 3 [for girls, I'm not sure what sizes for guys are ._. Forgive me]. Blond, or blond highlighted, and a hair style that usually is layered with side bangs. And normally, stars tend to be caucasion (or haloe, if you live in Hawaii). As for eyes, they tend to be glasses free.
Now, personally, for guys I do like skinnier guys who are tone [damn me T_T]. But glasses are mega sexy points. I also prefer Asians, or dark haired. For girls, I prefer girls who are healthier, like sizes 5-10 [plus that means boobs and boobs are your friends ;D But no offense to flat chested girls ._.]. I mean, seriously, girls focus WAY too much on their weight and guys really try to buff up too much, or their hair or some shit like that. Ah well, I happen to be fairly swept up in the media as well, but I dare say not by that much. But just enough to irk me every day.
Right... now for the good points... Well, in some cases, stations will use teen stars are role models for children and talk about "individuality" and "imagination" and "self expression" as well as toleration. I'm aiming more toward Disney on this one. But I'm getting lazy so I will end it here on a fairly... low note. ._.
WELL HAPPY TRAILING CHILDREN! :D
Well, today I come to speak about teen stars. You see them everywhere, Disney, Nick, abcFamily, etc etc. They tend to get pregnant, discover drugs, find random shit off the ground and sniff it then find themselves next to a hooker named "Daimond Rodriguez". Anyway, the gist is that they tend to fuck up more than the average teen.
But besides all the media-beaten crap that's shoved down our throats every day of our lives, teen stars have good things and worse things going for them. But since this is a rant, I believe I will go ahead and take the 'worse things' road.
I'm not too sure what the hell brought this thought into my head today, but it hit me with interest. I just realized how many underaged, premature children are out in the world who obsess/crush on these teen stars. It disturbed me, yet it made me giggle like a school girl. Think Drake Bell and a 9-year-old girl.... yeah, image is not pretty but it makes you giggle like a school girl. ;P Dear lord that's messed up. I mean, it's flattering but slightly creepy, no?
What's even creepier are those girls/guys who talk themselves into some weird state where they believe that their star of choice and themselves will somehow get married or go out... and they're 9! Dx Oh for the love of christ, 9 years old. And they take it fucking seriously oh lord... Okay, time for me to switch out because I am creeping myself out. D:
Okay, another fairly bad thing is how teen stars are whipping the media and all girls/guys minds. They're putting all these fucking ideals into our heads and it makes us seem inferior. But, I can't say that /all/ teen stars do it. In fact, I can't say that most of them even want to. But then again, I can't say that all of them are against it.

What's Love Got To Do With It?
Well, I haven't posted anything since the first post, so today I'm going to talk to you about: Love. Now, the love I'll be talking about is between two people, or interpersonal love.
Honestly, I don't believe in love. Don't ask why, I just don't. [Then again, I'm only in High School, so what the hell do I know?] I do believe, though, that people tend to get hit with sudden [and normally severe] cases of infatuation. The thing that separates the term 'love' from 'like' is most likely the intensity and duration. For example, love is said to last forever. When you like someone, though, it means that those feelings can change at any given time.
Have I ever fallen in love? Well, no. Though, I have been hit with two cases of infatuation. But infatuation, unlike love, tends to wear off after a given amount of time. Now you ask "Well, if you've never been in love or believe, where do you come off preaching about love?" Good question, but my rebuttal is: Everyday examples.
Now for high school love! Well, it seems that being part of a couple is in high demand for high school and even middle school. This saddens me slightly because it shows me that our society is becoming so dependent on the opposite [or same] sex that they yern for a partner at a young age. Honestly, how many middle school couples do you see getting married? I'm pretty sure that none of them do. And if, by some happenstancial chance, they do get married, it would be 1-in-a-1,ooo,ooo,ooo. Even high school couples getting married is hard to see. And if they do get married, they tend to get a divorce several months later.
I will admit, though, that I have actually wanted a boyfriend for a while. Then I got one. Oh my god, he was the cheesiest piece of shit. It was weird because he acted just like those boyfriends in the movies and on the TV shows. Right down to the neglect. He did all the things boyfriends were suppose to do: tell you they loved you, tell you you're beautiful, tell you you're entertaining and funny, and all those other comments. And that's pretty much where all the good things ended. I never got a birthday present from him other then a shitty poem he probably wrote in 5 seconds after he remembered it was my birthday. [Yes, you probably all are saying "What a meany, he wrote you a poem you should be thankful, blah blah blah." I never said I wasn't thankful. I just said it was shitty. D: My god, it was only 5 lines long and there were, like, 3 words on each line.] He never called me unless I brought it up. He forgot my phone number 4-5 times, and he wrote it down twice. He made false promises and broke them all. So typical boyfriend. And we broke up, twice. And after both times, he still tells me he "loves" me. Bullshit. If he "loved" me, then I think he would have tried a little harder. But whatever, I shouldn't be too judgemental. I don't live his life, I shouldn't blame him. Then again, the scars run deeper, but you people don't really need to hear about my emotional shit.
Nowadays, how many couples do you see together for more than 1o years? Older couples do tend to stay together, but for love? I can never really tell. I've never heard an older couple in real life actually tell each other that they love each other. Supposedly, they already understand this, so it does not need to be said. Younger couples tend to tell each other how much love they share almost every waking moment together. But these young couples separate in a matter of years or even months, sometimes even weeks. Now the reason for older couples to stay together is because they have high tolerance and tradition. I grow up in a fairly Asian-based society, so arranged marriages and traditions are held at high standards. Once you're married, you don't leave each other until death does you part. Well, that's nice and all, but even if the couple despise each other, they will always stay together because it is highly looked down on to get a divorce. So, as you can see, there doesn't seem to be any love. But, I suppose, there will be rare occasions where people will get together and stay together under a long duration of infatuation.
So love; alive or dead? Well, who knows. Maybe love does exist, but to me, it does not. Call me an 'emo' or an 'angsty teen', I don't really care. There's my two cents on love.

The Reason I'm Here
Well, the honest reason I decided to come here because Myspace is suddenly flooded by douchebags and Xanga lost all its pazzaz for me. As for Facebook, I have no idea what that is. I'm guessing it's some inbred version of Myspace with an option of cyber-poking.
Well, I'll start off by saying that I'm a female from Hawaii and my age, appearance, and specific information are absolutely irrelevant to this blog. Not until I become completely bored or a sudden case of picture-whoring hits me. >.>'
I'm a complete anime, manga, and game junkie. Yes, I'm an otaku. Fear me. :3
I attempt to draw and color and use Photoshop properly, but I tend to fail. xD
I am Asian, and damn right proud of it. >3<>
I tend to think I'm not judgemental, but hell if I know. xD My self-image sucks beyond all belief. Along with my spelling. Let me warn you before we go on, my spelling SUCKS.
Kay, moving on. I do like to rant, so many of my entries will probably be rants or "bitching sessons". If not, they'll be reveiws or just updates on music or something... Yeah.
OH! I like Starbucks. Frappachinos are the only thing I like from there, though. Besides that, I'd have to say that there is nothing about them that makes them better than any other coffee joint.
I actually used to love coffee to death, but then I was reintroduced to milk tea and I'm in a tea phase. Can't say no to a nice, hot cup of tea. :3
Well, have fun with... reading this. o.o
And may I just end with this note: If you actually read this, I am flattered. But I also think you should get out more. ._.'
