彼女は夢：A Girl's Dreams

Onstage.

I did it today, for the first time in 4 years. I sang on stage.

In Japanese. (THE LAST NIGHT by Matsuura Aya)

In front of my entire school, plus parents.

That's 400 people.

I never would have imagined it'd be so much fun. To stand and sing my heart

out.

Oh! And I did my nails for the song

They're Sakura blossoms, with polka-dots, in case you guys can't tell.

Thanks, Celia and Fuyumi, for supporting me.

I couldn't do it without you guys.

First of all...

.....
Notice anything different?

EHH??? You don't?? O_O

Oh yeaaaah....well, how about now?

Yes~! I got my braces off! ;D

Actually I got them off a week ago, but I've been to lazy to post. -shot-

AND! I got a new computer!!! It's a Mac Leopard X. With a new mic!

I don't think I sound like Ayaya anymore...;_; But I blend a lot better in group dubs! ;D So that's good. 8D

Other news:

April 18th was indeed my dubbing anniversary. :) I had a lot of fun, thanks to all of my dubbing friends, especially Ameimi and Celia, since I know they're really busy, but they still took time out of my day.

Anyway.

My friends...well...(in real life)..

I sat at my friends (?) lunch table as an experiment.

Time to explain.

Half my REAL friends are at the table, and I was pretty much booted off by my FAKE friends for some new girls.

Girls, who, they've known for less than a year.

And they'd rather hang out with them, and make fun of ME their OLD FRIEND.

So, I got to the lunchroom, as one of the first people, and my real friends were sitting at the other table, and were like, "Katie! Come join us!"

My close friend Lexie was trying to prove to Ariel that one of my (ex) friends Hannah seriously hates me.

So I sat, and everything was fine. And then Hannah + new girls +Olivia (who is nice, but she's HANNAH'S PAWN I SWEAR. HANNAH'S WORD IS LAW TO HER. <<) began ALL of the drama.

Btw.

The Good Side:

Katie = me

Lexie = slightly overwieght, yet absolutely hilarious friend- Always finds the humor in something

Ariel = super innocent, 1/2 Japanese, super super adorkable (©Spicy) Obsessed with children's anime, Japan, and old movies like Funny Girl, Thoroughly Modern Millie, etc.

The Bad side:

Emma = New girl who is seriously ugly (I know I'm being mean here, but seriously- it's called showering!)

Isabella= New girl with some serious family issues, and think it's ok to trash talk friends

Hannah = girl who is obsessed with breaking rules (because her parents are strict Christians)and black and is also rude to pretty much anyone. When she invited everyone over her house- BACK IN FIFTH GRADE- I was ALWAYS the one excluded when she said, "Oh, 6 people is too many. Katie, you're the 6th. You have to go home".

The Neutral Side:

Kelley= Awsome chinese nerd. I refer to her as my pwnsome asian friend. She makes the funniest faces + impressions

Amy = Kinda friend- kinda not- but she always disagrees with me on something. =.=

And on with the show.

Hannah: Oh hey guys.
Katie: Oh, hi. *goes back to talking with Lexie and Ariel*
Hannah: Um. You know, Emma's not going to get a seat here.
Lexie: Oh, Katie Wagner's absent. We figured that Katie $@$@ (no, I'm not telling you guys my last name, sorry! ;P) could sit here instead.
Hannah: Yeah, well, we have too many people here.
Emma: Oh, hi...where am I supposed to sit?
Lexie: Pull up a chair.
Hannah: What chair?
Katie: THE ONE RIGHT BEHIND YOU?
Hannah: I don't see any chair...
Hannah's Cronies: Yeah, there isn't a chair...
Katie: ?? *thinks* wtf? Are they blind???
Emma: Oh, well I'm not sure where I can sit..
Isabella: WELL, EVERYONE HAD A SEAT UNTIL SHE SHOWED UP!
Lexie: Well, we normally pull up an extra chair anyway. Why does it matter?
Katie: *ignores isabella and keeps talking with ariel and lexie*
Hannah: *goes over to Emma + Olivia + New girls and talks about Katie (whispering) but of course, since Katie is right next to them, she can hear every word they're saying*
Hannah (whispering): WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE???
Isabella: No idea, she doesn't belong here. And she shouldn't be here.

....

Yeah.

Girls that I've been 'friends' with for oh, 3-4 years think that they can now hate me- for no reason at all. >.> Really. No reason at all.

Ariel asked why, apparently it was

"She's too obsessed with anime and Japanese crap. Plus she always brags."

UM. HELLO. THAT IS SO RUDE. ARIEL LIKE ANIME (probably more than me) AS WELL.

I think the real reason is because I'm smarter than Hannah. She gets straight D's (and is proud of it. =.=) in non-honors classes.

And here I am getting 97s. -shot- In honors classes.

And I DON'T BRAG. D: Maybe a little (about swimming too! NONE of my friends understand swimming. They ask me how I do, I tell them, and that's BRAGGING? D: WTF.), but it's nothing compared to what Hannah does.

"Oh! I got a D on this test! 8D"

"That's great, Hannah."

So, my friends created a whole new lunch table. ;3 So now I can sit and talk to Ariel and Lexie. My real friends stood up for me, and I'm really happy.

It smells like him~

The deodorant he uses...<3

I'm not taking it off until swim practice tomorrow.

-shot for stalker loveness-

Rika Chihara

Recently, there was a senpai of mine- Rika Chihara- who was involved in a catfight online.

She's feeling pretty sad, so I want to dedicate this blog post to my feelings about her.

I first met Rikappi when I joined Twilight Legend, Generation 4.

At that time, I was too afraid to talk to her. She was like a glittering star in the sky~, like the rest of the TL members, and so I thought she was WAY out of my reach.

My admiration of her grew, as I was in the Twilight Legend radio crew, and I was reviewing Tiny Wheat, a group that Rika was in. She pulled off the best Yaguchi Mari I've ever heard.

Yet I was still too afraid to talk to her.

Even though she was in my generation, I was afraid she'd shun me, as even though it was her first time being in the GROUP Twilight Legend, she had been in Twilight Legend THE PROJECT for many months before me.

I really was her fan too.

I read her blog, commented on posts, and my admiration of her grew. I found out that she lives in New Jersey, just like me!

Everything changed when Celia invited me to 'skype' with her, and Rika. I was afraid that Rika would be hard to talk to, and there'd be lots of pauses in conversation, but instead, conversation flowed naturally, and we were talking like old friends.

It was the first time I've been able to talk so openly with someone~ for the first time I met them. Normally it takes me a while to warm up to a person. But with Rika, it was so natural, like we'd been best friends forever.

And she was so nice! All my fears her being to snobbish disappeared in an instant. Even though she had been dubbing months before me, she never judged me by my kohai-ness. That's what amazed me- that she could just openly accept me like that. I've met other dubbers who think that they are the best, and refuse to aknowledge you, but Rika wasn't like that at all. It made being with her pleasant and lots of fun.

Here's to you, Rika, after nearly being together one year in Twilight Legend with you, I'm happy to call you one of my best friends. And I hope we can talk just as well in the future.

If you want to drop Rika a visit, you can check out her blog here.

New Haircut = New Me!

"Glamorous Model Eyes" as Tyra Banks calls them.

Purkuri! Pose! ~Chu~

KISS MEH DAARLING *Fake Posh British Accent*

Ok. So it's official. After 10 months of split ends and bad hair days...one good haircut conquers all! Yes!

Now for the haircut story.

Last Friday, I was at a swim meet (Sectionals, and I GOT TO SWIM IN THE LANE NEXT TO OLYMPIC ATHLETE KATE ZIEGLER!!!!!! O________O AGAINST HER!! *i lost lol, but it was amazing*)

And my hotel was next to the mall...so I went with my mom, and we went on a TOTAL shopping spree, because we both haven't gotten new clothes in 2-3 years.

So, I got my haircut, by this really nice lady, and I just asked for a short, layered look. And...TAJAAAAAN~! But that's not the best part.

After my haircut, we wandered the mall, and were sitting at Rita's Water Ice, when this lady comes up to me, and was like, "Umm..would you possibly be interested in modeling? I'm a scout for agency so-and-so..."

I declined. Because if I became an American model...

Yeah. That's right. Walkin' the catwalk in those babies.......uh, no. XD I'm so tall I NEVER wear high heels (5'8''/172.2 cm) And I'd fall.

Then my mom and I were walking through Sears.

And believe it or not, ANOTHER girl walked up to me, from ANOTHER agency, and asked me to be a model. I declined, dumbstruck. XD It was awesome! It just felt good to have people ASKING me to be a model. :P Not that I'd ever be one. Because that's not my dream. And if I'm going to do something, I want to love doing it, so that I can give it all my effort instead of less than my best.

Frustrated! Part 2

"Epic Music Plays"Well, yes, it finally happened.

Logan (aka 'Christen') found my previous blog post, and went on a loser-hating spree.

Message for Logan:

I never said you sucked, or at least not to your face. Why? Because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. But truthfully (and yes, I know you LOVE the truth) you DO suck. Some people just don't have musical talent, and unfortunately you're one of them.

Even so, you can keep trying, because it's something you love doing. Just don't expect to ever get a singing career, because you are tone-deaf.

Alrighty. Now that my message to this little jerk is clear, time to comment on his (idiotic) comments around youtube.

Logan thought I didn't know his new account (and I didn't)...until, well, he made it pretty obvious.

Rule #1: If you are hiding, don't comment on peoples videos. No wait, make that 'don't comment RUDELY on people's videos'.

Yeah, like it's MY FAULT that youtube hates .mov format. Come on. Really?

Rule #2: If you are hiding, don't post stupid comments on

other people's channels. Like, for instance, the reason why you are hiding.

.......Um yeah. *points to above comment* are you saying my dub was bad? Because last time I checked, your dubs..*coughs* Well, I'm not going to say it. XD

Rule no. 3: If you don't want to look like a total douchebag on the internet (and don't want to go into hiding), don't go around calling girls 'bitches' and insulting people. :) Especially not your senpai's.

Why do you treat your friends like objects? Or, are they even your real friends? Guess not. You don't even have any friends anymore (mainly because of your rudeness).

^ Yup. I'm sure. Or maybe it's just you who's the one acting like a real jerk.

And above us, we have a nice example of moderator editing powers. Great job, Logan. Way to edit Skitty's post and show how rude you are to a girl who you call your 'best friend'.

So! The top character flaws with Logan:

#1: Immaturity

#2: Stupidity

#3: Lack of common sense

#4: Rudeness

#5: Nonexistent social skills

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this post. I love you all.
