ARGH.

When I was in the fifth grade, my class went on a trip to see some underground caves or something. It was a full-day trip, and I really didn't like the teacher or the idea of spending my day in the dark looking at rocks, so I had my mother check off the box on the form that said I wasn't going. I never told anyone that I was planning to go, because that would have been a lie. However, it seems that my teacher was assuming that everyone was going. She didn't even look at my form when I gave it to her. Okay.

Cut to the morning of the trip. At something like seven thirty, while everyone in my house is still asleep, my teacher phones. "Where's Sarah, where's Sarah?" she demands. "We've been waiting for half an hour and we're not going to wait anymore!"

Do you think I care?

Honestly, she could've done herself a big favour if she'd just looked at the form, seen that I was never planning on going. I never really liked this teacher, but this incident just finalized it. ARGH.

So what? you're asking yourself. Why is Sarah going on about something that happened to her in the fifth grade, five years ago?

I kind of feel that the same thing has happened to me tonight, though in a slightly different way.

There's a party going on tonight that I was invited to. This time I did agree to go, I admit it, I'm guilty. But a teacher of mine just called from the party to tell me they'd waited outside the school for half an hour, wondering where I was.

???

This is insane. I was never told by anyone that we were going to meet outside the school. I was never even told that it started that early. Why did they wait for me outside the school? They'd never discussed this with me. Why would I have any reason to meet them at the school, anyway??

Now, the reason I am not currently at this party is partially because I was really tired when I agreed to go, so didn't write any details down, so didn't remember it was tonight. Another reason is that this morning I went to the doctor, was poked and prodded at, and then was told that I have to have surgery. This doesn't make me very happy, I doubt I'd be a great hit at a party right now. Also, I've been feeling sick ever since I got home, so I don't really want to go to a party. Unfortunately, no one seems to have noticed that I wasn't at school for most of the day. ARGH.

Also . . . I don't have a ride right now. So . . . I'm really incredibly frustrated right now.

I don't want surgery. I'm so frightened. I'm so FRUSTRATED. :'(

PLEASE tell me where you got that picture on your profile page!! WHO is she??

She's Hitomi Yoshizawa (given name-family name), also known as Yossie, a member of the Japanese girl pop group Morning Musume (also known as MoMusu). Honestly, I can't remember where I got the picture from, but I know it can be found in her first photobook (titled "yossii"), along with a bunch of pictures of her in the same outfit. If I find the site again I'll edit this comment.

Also, I love how you anonymously commented something like that on a post where I was obviously upset. x_x

No no no, it made ME upset. I thought that was a picture of me! You may laugh, but I'm not kidding. I posted as anonymous cuz I'm a public user. I do have my journal under other site though. And I'm both American and Japanese. Anyway, I really appreciate you reply.

Hello again. I searched on the web by using Hitomi Yoshizawa as a keyword, but she's not the same person as your profile picture, is she? The picture does look like me, but Hitomi Yoshizawa doesn't look like me at all. That must be a picture of me. I'm so scared!

It looks like you? o_O Wow, I *would* be freaked out. ^^; (Sorry I sounded kinda snappy before.)

The thing about searching for "Hitomi Yoshizawa," though, is that there seem to be two of them -- one's the MoMusu member, and the other is a model of some sort. Here's a site about the MoMusu Hitomi: Hitomi Yoshizawa (http://hitomi_momusu.tripod.com/).

But really, in her photobook there's a whole bunch of pictures of her in that outfit. The picture I used for my profile doesn't show her face the best, y'know? Aaaargh, I'm so frustrated, I still can't find the page where I found these pictures. >_<;;;

Hi! How did you do that "(Link)" thing? That's neat. Did you see that long post on my journal? That's awful!
