Kay.....awkward.
Apr. 16th, 2008 06:26 pmSo like, the doorbell rang, and this Japanese girl was there. My dad told me to go open the door because he thought she was one of my friends (looked short and young) so I opened the door to her saying "HI" about five times (I thought maybe she had ADD or something for a second) and then she explained what she was doing and even bowed at me. So it was some sort of fundraiser to keep families together regardless of the colour of skin...or something.
Anyway, I had no money on me, and ran up to ask my parents. She was extremely polite and innocent-like, so I felt, "I can't say NO! to this girl!" I asked my dad and he was like, "We have no money, let her go," and since I just CAN'T say no to someone like that, I tried to make my dad go and decline the donation. And he wouldn't do it for some reason, and we started yelling at each other. My mom was in the shower, so we knocked on her door and she was screaming at us:
"IT'S JUST A STUPID PERSON WANTING A DONATION! JUST DECLINE AND CLOSE THE DOOR!!!!"
We continued to push each other. Finally, after a while, I just went into my room in a fit of stubborn annoyance, except I realized she was STILL AT THE DOOR AND PROBABLY HEARD US YELLING, AND WAS ASKING FOR A DONATION ABOUT FAMILIES. So I grabbed any money I had, which was about two bucks and gave it to my dad and he reluctantly went to the door. I heard him saying, "Sorry this is so cheap" and she continued to explain what the fundraiser was for (pretty much stalling my dad for a long while.) He was rescued by the guy downstairs who came up to tell us he was moving out soon, and he donated 10 bucks.
Okay, if Japanese people are that polite, then I don't know how to act around them. I mean I know a Japanese guy at school, and he has cushioned himself into the Western tradition so he isn't bowing every time we say hi to each other and stuff, but gee. She had like this accent and sounded cute and stuff. How do you say no to people like that? It's like some evil genius ploy done by the people doing the fundraiser.
Yeah.
In other news, I have ENDLESS SKY. The song by Sara Wakatsuki and Miho Aihara (or Mihoko Kondo...she changed her name mysteriously...>>;) It took quite a while to obtain it. Also the other reason that I tried so hard in getting it was because Aoi-dono also wanted it. It is quite a nice sounding song. I managed to figure out who was singing where, and Miho sang better than Sara. Yes. That is not me being biased because I'm a huge Kazumi fan...If you watch the Live Action concert on Youtube, clearly Sara isn't the greatest singer there. She isn't bad either, but she isn't like, mindblowing. The song she sings with Hiroko (Konoka) was a good song, but you could tell that Hiroko sang MUCH better than Sara.
And in Starry, Miho sang awesome, and better than Mai (slightly, >>;)
...but Mai is obviously cuter and hotter and has a better voice (besides the singing) and it's not like she can't sing, Miho just sings better. >>;
But you all know she's cute! MAI NISHIDA IS VERY CUTE:
LOOK! CUTE! ADORABLE! PERFECT AS SAYO!
Yeap.
