it almost feels like we're going nowhere in terms of "plot" wow, we're nearing the end so quickly I'm beginning to doubt whether or not we're actually going to get some closure out of this show.

lol, "My name is being squitward tenticles and you are having none talent" and "Why helo it is i Leonard Dicapricorn and I am still not having of an Oscar" are a few favorites of mine that show up on my newsfeed.

I didn't know you want to use the restroom all day long. I didn't know that coffee caused gastrointestinal problems. well, I tried coffee once. It was too bitter and I couldn't get myself to drink it without washing it down with a bunch of cream and sugar. at least it smells nice, haha.

Magnet (male version) I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the song wasn't "pitched" but instead used real human voices. It sounds a lot better than the original just because real human voices are more appealing than computer generated vocaloid (or at least is it with this song). The harmonization is a lot better as well. Actually, I think the most appealing part of the song is its background music. It's a shame I can't find it anywhere, haha. --- Oh, and I just binged on a bunch of Cave Story OSTs. ;-; they're so good.

ahahaha, I saw some of his/her posts and I was dying. this guy's the best troll of 2k15, hands down. EDIT: lololololol, like... what is this even.

yup, I was referring to both of you. uh, I think I'll take the liberty to disagree with you again. I said this in my last post, but I'll say it again: Granted a select few are decent, but most ["depressing" lyric-oriented] songs about relationships or breakups come off as whiny, and they never cease to get on my nerves after being repeated on the radio for the hundredth time. Anyone can easily convey their "sadness" or "misery" over some words, to be honest. Most of these songs don't come off as meaningful at all. They come off as obnoxious and even somewhat passive aggressive at times. Emotion or stories that can be conveyed through instruments and notes have a much more substantial effect on me. Joe Hisaishi has a talent for this and I absolutely revel in his work. I don't listen to lyric songs as often anymore. I still listen to the radio once in a while for those few gems I do manage to come across, but generally: instrumentals >>>>>>>> lyric songs, in my opinion. lol, don't get me wrong because I also have a huge list of lyric songs I enjoy listening to. ahaha, I'm not a fan of metal songs. they're a bit too "loud" for my taste, if that makes sense, lol.

haha, yeah. she's definitely wasn't the most... pleasant thing to witness. All I'm worried about for senior year are those college apps. After those are done, I'm going to kick the bucket and prop my legs up on a stool for the rest of the year. Gotta make the best out of it, lol. I hope things will be good on your end as well! It gets a bit frustrating at times, but I'm sure our parents mean well, haha. Ohh, I remember using a similar website. If I recall correctly, it was called futureme.org--where you would type a message to "future you" and it would email it to you years later. It's always nice to have a real person to vent to, but it makes me feel rather crummy putting my burdens on someone. It's probably why I don't vent to my friends often. I'm not gonna lie--typing on a word doc can get lonely at times, lol. I don't want to apply this generalization to all adults though. A lot of the teachers at our school tend to be able to empathize with most students, and I can definitely attest for that. It's probably because most of them went through the same experiences that we're going through, and it has certainly helped me through some rough times.

ehehe, sorry. I didn't mean to bombard this thread with our ramblings, haha.

Breakup songs especially. They give me the creeps. I just like the sad melody and tune. lol wait, really? Granted a select few are decent, but most songs about relationships or breakups come off as whiny, and they never cease to get on my nerves after being repeated on the radio for the hundredth time. The only "depressing" songs I like are instrumentals--the ones that tend to carry a lot of emotion. (shout out to my boi Joe Hisaishi for being one of my favorite composers of all time) Here's a good example if you're wondering what I'm talking about: It has a few Howl's Moving Castle vibes (and it's a bit lesser known), but it's absolutely gorgeous--and "depressing" to an extent, I suppose. ...and here's another one. I have a huge list of them by the way. I had a bit of trouble deciding which ones to post here, lol. Still gotta love upbeat songs though.

lol, I suck at nicknames. All I can remember is naming a Garchomp Sharkeisha. .-. I'm just crossing my fingers that senior year will turn out a lot better, lol. That's still kinda crazy though. I'd feel much more comfortable settling down since I feel that it gives my life a sense of stability. I guess it's kinda nice to have a change in scenery once in a while. But...wow, I just can't wrap my mind around moving so often, haha. But the thing is, it's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to voice my opinions to my parents now. Anything I say can set them off, and next thing I know, a bunch of my stuff is confiscated, and I'm just sitting here like, "what just happened, I don't even.." I've learned to keep my mouth shut around them, but it's still frustrating how one of my only outlets is just venting on a Word document. I think that most of the adults believe that we don't have the capacity to understand the situation at hand. If you think about it, our generation is going to be running the country soon enough, so why is it so hard for them to listen our perspectives on things every once in a while?

I can't possibly be the only person who is reminded of Death Note every time I listen to this.

I can definitely relate. Freshman year was a mess for me, but sophomore year turned out a lot better. Junior year took a dip (possibly lower than freshman year), but I think that may no longer be the case anymore. It'll depend on a few factors in the upcoming future, but I'd rather not think about it, haha. Gosh, I can't imagine having such a mobile life. I like the idea of travelling to new places, but geez, I don't think I can handle having to constantly move between homes. But I'm glad things are working out for you so far! My school doesn't offer that kind of luxury, so we have to hunt down scholarships on our own. You're really fortunate to have that kind of opportunity at your school, so it's good that you're taking advantage of it! Scholarships may be the only way my parents would let me go out of state, but it's a bit too early to think about that at the moment. I'd rather focus on academics in the meantime, haha. I only have a few clothes I still wear from late middle school. The rest I just "borrow" from my sister's closet, lol. I know I'm still a kid, but it still ticks me off to no end when my parents dismiss my opinions without giving it a second thought. Another reason to look forward to college, I guess.

aw geez, that's insane. I don't think I've ever gone through serious depression (though there were times where I felt like useless trash for a while). I've also seen some of your posts about how often you move, which I probably wouldn't have handled well either. It's awesome how well off you seem to sound considering your current predicament. Best of wishes to you! Whoa, you already have a school that's offered you tuition? damn, lucky you! I still have clothes in my closet that are from fifth grade, haha. Of course I can't fit into them though. I suspect my parents will be digging through those after their "cleaning supplies" are beyond unusable. Donating clothes doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I have this premonition that my parents are going to get defensive if I mention the idea to them. They almost never take me seriously, and they usually just treat my opinions like they're coming from a three year old. Well, they are first generation immigrants, so I can't really blame them.

I still have a year and a half to go before I can revel in it all :c But yeah, I feel like I'm going to be disappointed after getting so hyped about it, lol senioritis, stahp. Oh, you already have your college decisions out? Does that mean you're a senior? if so, lucky you, haha. My parents want me to stay in-state just because of tuition costs even though I'm dying to get out of this monotonous torture. My parents either throw away my clothes or use them as rags. It makes me a bit heartbroken seeing a bit of my childhood getting all sullied like that. My mom sometimes donates blood, but hmm... I don't think I've ever seen my parents donate clothes before.

Many of my older friends seem to be enjoying themselves a lot more in college, so who knows? I'm definitely looking forward to it. What seems most appealing to me right now is the freedom I'll get. Not just out of supervision, but in classes as well. just watch me be dead wrong. naw, it's because I've grown out of it years ago. My parents like to "recycle" clothing as cleaning supplies, lol

lol, the high school struggle. I remember this one time when I was little (can't remember what grade), my mom was trying to force me into an orange sweater that I absolutely hated. It was actually an adorable little sweater, now that I look back on it. But my parents use it as a dust rag now sooooooo...............

<3 lol, I was actually thinking about incorporating that into my post, but it felt too irrelevant and I couldn't find a good way to reference the song other than through the "subtle" hint (that you managed to catch). so I guess I was successful to some extent, heh. those people probably haven't experienced the *magic* of headphones yet, haha. I don't own any pair of headphones. The ones I'm using come from my sister since she has an unbelievable number of them, lol. but yeah, definitely try it sometime! (preferably with songs you're not familiar with yet)

I don't think I've ever seen you purposefully double post before... hmm, I think I'll call bs on this statement of yours, heh.

this might be why I can produce a semi-authentic Asian accent at will. thanks, dad.

in hindsight, I probably shouldn't have posted that, ahaha.. I remember too many arbitrary moments from my younger years, but I can't even remember what I ate for dinner yesterday.

I can only use headphones out of my parents' sight since they have a problem with them for some reason. ...and most people I know tend to listen to music straight from the speakers, haha. headphones are such a nice contrast to speakers though. I have a habit of listening to music with speakers, then with headphones and it's like a whole world of difference, plus it really helps me appreciate the music more. ahaha, I just love that.

Oh, in fourth grade I spelled "smelly" "winter" only because I didn't know what word I was supposed to spell. Then I looked off of someone else's paper and I erased "winter" and changed it to "smelly" I spelled "when" wrong on a spelling quiz in first grade. bet you guys can't beat that. I don't know why I remember this.

wait, does that mean you haven't watched it until now? lol how is that nostalgia then? anywhooooo... the movie has the reputation it has because it most certainly lives up to its name it's incredibly deep (managing to intertwine numerous themes beautifully with each other) the characters are very well-rounded and have thorough development needless to say, it's undoubtedly up in my top 3 Studio Ghibli movies. so I'd have to disagree with your opinion here. it is amazing, and arguably one of Miyazaki's best works. I'd go on a rant about Ponyo being more well-known when it shouldn't be, but that's not the purpose of this post. hmm, I'm still trying to figure out what you didn't like about it. perhaps it was too "gory" or grotesque? Opinions are opinions, but I hope you'll take the time to watch this again in a few years in case you get a change in perspective.

Listening to music with headphones, holy......... it's freaking amazing it's like a whole new world the background cellos sound perfectly in-sync and more prominent words are suddenly better enunciated you can hear all the percussion oh my gawd the trumpets the piano arpeggios and glisses you can now clearly hear instruments that originally faded into the background remember the bass that you could barely hear without headphones? now it's loud and clear IT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW WORLD I TELL YOU. it's beautiful. it's basically heaven. ...and it's only one pair of headphones away.

it took me all the willpower I could muster to prevent myself from bingeing on F/SN after finishing the first episode yesterday. I feel accomplished.
