(translation: Might as well go be a cat...)

...ahahahahaha.

I dunno though. I've thought about stuff like this. When you're, say, under tremendous stress, or have so much to worry about and you think man, I wish I could go back to so-and-so-time, when life was easy and all I had to worry about was blank and blank...

but when your whole life was about blank and blank, wouldn't your worries about blank and blank, relatively, amount to the same as your worries now? I mean, now you view it as trivial, but that's only because you have worse worries to contrast them to. Before, when they were your whole life, wouldn't they be just about the same? In terms of your mind's level-of-worrying, if you sort of get what I mean.

which really has not so much to do with what she was talking about, of wanting to help friends but not being able to? which could be loosely fit into the category of stress and worrying, I guess, but not quite.

And what I brought up isn't definite either, I mean, because we all know there are times of heavy stress that just are most definitely worse than other times, but then again wouldn't that be more of... the quantity of things to worry about? As opposed to their relative importance in the mind.

...yeah. random thought.

In other news, rereading Dragonball (NOT Dragonball Z kthxbye) makes me laugh.

during wushu competition, Goku vs. random girl--

GIRL: [kickpunchslap!] How do you not know who I am? I'm supposed to be your bride!!
GOKU: [flinchdodgehide] ...bride...?
GIRL: Hmph. Looks like you're finally remembering.
GOKU: ...
GOKU: [waves at people outside of the ring] Oi, Krillin, what's a bride?
EVERYONE: /fallover

GIRL: You idiot, I'm Chichi!
GOKU: Chichi?!
CHICHI: Yes!
GOKU: That Chichi?
[Image of little Chichi pops up above his head]
CHICHI: Yes, that Chichi!
GOKU: ...marriage...

flashback--

KIDDIE CHICHI: When we're older, let's get married!
KIDDIE GOKU: Huh? Get what?
KIDDIE CHICHI: Stupid! You heard me!
KIDDIE GOKU: Um, if you're giving me something, sure!

return to current time--

GOKU: Oh my gosh, I did say I would accept marriage!
CHICHI: FINALLY you remember!
GOKU: ......
GOKU'S THOUGHTS: Gee, I thought "married" was some sort of food...
GOKU'S THOUGHTS: Ah, well. Guess I have to keep my word.
GOKU: Let's get married!
CHICHI: Okay!
ANNOUNCER: Oh? Contestant Goku has gotten married!
CHICHI: /clings happily to Goku's arm
EVERYONE ELSE: ..... /SWEATDROP

sighhhhhhhhhhhhh.

what do you do about a kid who's insecure and takes badly to criticism?

you can't feed them the hearts and flowers that they want all the time, because then they'll never know where their error lies and then they'll never be able to fix it.

but getting ultra defensive doesn't help you, doesn't help me, doesn't help the section, doesn't help the orchestra, not going to do anything.

suck it up, y'know?

but well.

he sort of reminds me of me. XD when I was younger.

still, no one's out to get you, kid. they're only out to get you if you make them out to get you. everything is up to you. you don't want people to be on your case for rushing, then stop saying "I can't help it," go home, practice like crazy to a met until you're more on beat than anyone else in the orchestra, and then no one will be able to say it to you, only you to them.

he can do it, too, if he's motivated. he's definitely stubborn enough to persevere through it.

saying "I can't help it" or "I'm just not good enough" isn't self-defense. it's called LAZINESS. excuses.

but in this case I think injured pride more than laziness.

what a pain.

(if he'd only swallow his pride, he'd see...)

edit: on an additional note, why are some people so paranoid? (ahahaha tis of my belief that all privacy-paranoid people are all secretly narcissists - they attribute an importance to themselves that does not exist) no but seriously. for example, people who set blog filter settings super high, and block out as much of it as possible. I dunno, the whole concept just seems weird to me, esp. since my LJ's been public ever since it existed. I mean, I sort of get it. It's just- weird. Life's so much simpler when there's nothing to hide, yah.

I still maintain my belief that if all people were more open, the world'd be a much happier place.

... ...

And here's an interesting thought spawned:

Are people who are happy within a bubble, metaphorically speaking, truly happy? Or is it a faux happiness?

hmmmmmmmmmm.

food for thought. maybe I'll come back and expand on it later.

我的心好像有顆大的石頭
我的頭好像原子彈要爆炸
我的夢好像破了洞的氣球
我真的好倒霉 你會有一天後悔~

love the lyrics. XD

Freshmen year is OVER. I am no longer a freshman. This makes me sad.

( Cheers! )

SO!

that was a good year. :)

SUMMER NOW~~~

First things first, kuroikisei, kyouten, sadistic_otaku, HOW CAN YOU GUYS DITCH ME FOR LQ?!?!?! T.T I weep. I don’t *always* check the flist dammit next time call or something~~~

And kyouten, you owe me either... $25 or $35? XD yessss I’m going to make you treat me to a number of random whatevers this summer. Mmk, since you're broke and I'm rich, perhaps the other way around. You can just owe me a lot of favors in place of it. XD HEED MY CALL TURTLEGIRL.

And Debra and Kevin! And I forgot (sorry)... whoever else who agreed when I asked like... several months ago. WE MUST GO SEE POTC2 TOGETHER. WE MUST. end of story.

and that is that.

yay summer here I come!

...I wonder that I give anyone and everyone so much free access to my life...

( ... )

Ah well, not like knowing a lot about my life would do them much help. Unless they're some crazy person who wants to abduct me for a ransom or a serial killer targeting me. Then they could just read my journal and come to my house with about 5 boxes of Neoguri ramen and some SQUEE-worthy pets and some good books and I'd be bribed out in no time. >>;; Actually, I think I'd be bribed with just the ramen alone. _ _;;

Whatever.

*headdesks* No more no more 900 grams of sodium not good too much already ran more than 2 miles with no water had no water entire day need water water not salt ramen bad don't eat don't eat....

...

*turns on stove*

..... _ _;; I have absolutely no self-restraint.

Edit: I just realized that in the Shinji loves Asuka spiel above, the quote never mentions that the anonymous person states who they are. -.- How ironic.

Edit: ROFL that was one of the most hilarious chatrooms I've ever been in... Ahahahaa...
