| Some people really pissed me off today, granted I was in a foul mood from lack of sleep but I usually give off an aura of 'Talk to me and I'll kick your ass', but today I just got so pissed off with all the teachers and students. People are slagging off Japan to my face and assuming I agree with everything the Japanese do they also call it an 'obsession' but I make that point below so just read! on my myspace and bebo I use for school mates I put this:
Right! I am sick to the back teeth of everyone spouting off basically a load of crap to me about Japan. I like Japan all right?! I am not up America's arse like the rest of the world seems to be! I like Japan because I like their music, arts, history, fashion, language, general culture and their food. I know that Japan isn't the rainbow land of Hello Kitty and Pocky because I am not completely dense and update myself with the issues of Japan. But for some reason people have come up to me and provoked me to get a response. People join my conversations or look at what I am reading and make an unnecessary comment about Japan or say offensive words for the Chinese. I have many friends from different walks of life and racism and prejudice will not be tolerated by me in the slightest. Let me get some things straight here and now! Japanese men do not think that all western girls want 24/7 sex, they are not hugely or overly perverted, they do not hunt around to rape westerners, they are not an overly cruel race! Yes they have had bad history during the wars but are the western countries especially America and Britain blameless?!
If I am 'obsessed' with Japan then I am too with Ireland, South Korea and France! I have an intake of media and influence from all of those countries equally. In fact my favourite singer is Korean not Japanese! If you hate Japan so much then don't fucking bother coming to tell me about it! Do not interrupt my conversations or what I am reading to slag off the Japanese. Westerners are no better than the Japanese nor are they any worse!
Thirdly, just because I have similar interests to my best friend does not mean that we copy one another nor am I a clone of her. We both like Japan, yes but we are very different people in many ways! We also are not: Witches, goths, emos, devil/ Satan worshippers, we are not copying anyone and we do not wish we were Japanese! I am 16, therefore if I really wanted to become Japanese I would speak Japanese constantly, move over there, dye my hair and have eyelid surgery to make my eyes like theirs. In fact I would hate to be Japanese! Why?! Because I'd have to deal with all the racist westerners that cannot see past their own idiotic and limited view of the world! For all I know I could go and live in South Korea or Ireland! If you're so fucking bored that you have to stoop so low as to make racist remarks to me then you clearly need to get a life and brains. I disagree and agree with the Japanese on many things so assuming I want to be them, think like them and have their exact same ethics is wrong to assume so.
Come up to me at school and do these things again and you won't find yourself living a comfortable life for long.

I don't know why but that threat amused me; probably because I know you'll carry it out lol But seriously, I agree with you. It just gets so annoying when people come up to me and start slagging off Japan to my face, not because I feel like an insult to Japan is a personal insult to myself, but because I don't understand why they felt so strongly about something that they had to seek me out when we've never spoken before just to tell me that the Japanese like to engage in a spot of light whaling. Yes, I - just like the rest of the world - know this, so why are you telling me? Any particular reason? They act like it is some sort of abomination that I listen to Japanese artists as well as American and British ones and I don't understand why. I think that all indie music is crap (they ain't signed to a major record company for a reason) but I don't go telling the rest of my indie-manic year this do I? Yet they tell me that the fact that i listen to Japanese music is wrong, but they don't tell me why. "I dunno, it's Japanese!" Yeah, I can hear that perfectly fine, so? Some people are just so narrow minded it becomes infuriating! Regardless of the fact that me and KeiKei apparently look alike (I assure you, we really don't) and this causes people to mistake us for twin sisters at some times, it doesn't mean we're clones of eachother. A TEACHER said I was just a clone of KeiKei when I had an interview with him because we had a similair plan of our future, aka a shared gap year to Japan. He said, "I see you've been taking tips from Katie then, haven't you?" Well actually, sir, I was the one who introduced Katie to Japan. That shut him up. He had no right to make me feel like shit in that interview. I hate how everyone is so intolerant of other cultures and races! | |

| When I heard about it I was so tempted to go and give him a right kick up the arse, but unfortunately he's so far up his own arse that my foot wouldn't fit. *sigh* I have nothing more to say because you two stole all the points -_-' | |

| I have told them to fuck off so many times I just thought maybe explaining in simple terms to them that then they might understand. | |

| Do not worry about haters girlies... there will always be people in the world who comment on what you wear, listen to, like, eat, buy (this list is endless!) But they are people who are narrow minded! Almost clueless about todays world! Being half indonesian and half scottish, Ive always had a twang of difference (I won't go into the racism I suffered fromas a child!) But I accepted and embraced my uniqueness...
Just brush off comments, If I ever valued someones opinion then Id answer back. If not, they don't get the time of day from me, (it sounds stuck up, which Im not!) but I never trash other peoples likes/dislikes, so why should they to me!? I have never been the same as most of my friends... there was a close group of us that had similar tastes in things at school but then friends grow apart, taste changes. Why should I follow with them! I'm me, and I like the things I like.
People are clones, or 'sheep' as I call them in this country, close minded and following poular trends and culture. You should be proud to be different! And glad you have a close friend that has such similar interests!!! Don't let anyone bring you down, in fact that applies to everyone on here!
Also... indie music does suck Hikitty! sounds bland and boring... I have a broad range of music from classical, country, metal, and gabber. But I just can't bear indie/pop!

| I have always been unique but I think that the huge post that I sent to everyone helped somewhat. I have broad and wide ranging interests and someone once said to me that I could probably sit down at a table and talk about any topic with at least some knowledge. I agree that racism as a kid isn't acceptable Momma Fozzie, I mean I have quite a bit of Irish in me, plus I am an Irish dancer that plus growing up in the 90s hmmm not exactly the most popular mix for the 90s. I am a classical music listener too! Yes, I am very sad XD But I like things from Marilyn Manson to Katherine Jenkins, from Prince to Sisters of Mercy. I hate sheep and I am glad to say that I am an individual and have never followed the crowd. Ever. It's one of the worst insults you can throw at me is to say that I am following or coping other people. | |

| It really annoys me when people say I'm the same as other people just because we have similar interests. The worst was when a guy I liked said I was just like his ex because I liked Japan. It's like, are you an idiot? Apart from that one thing we were completely different and we didn't even like the same aspects of Japan. People need to understand there are many parts of a country and culture to like, just because you like one part it doen't mean you agree with everything they do. | |
