I'm really not liking it. My posts have probaly been really boring lately (is that why no one is commenting?). Dale Carnegie said that it is human nature to not blame yourself for things, that humans tend to blame others, even if it was their fault. Well, I'm not like that. I always blame myself. If someone doesn't talk to me for a day or so, I start wondering what I did wrong, why he or she won't talk to me, and before I know it, I'm very depressed. It happens all the time. I don't like it, but I can't help it. Actually, most of the time it just turns out that the person was busy (this applies to my internet friends)... heh, heh. But no matter how many times this happens, I always blame myself.
During History class today, I thought of another reason as to why I want to study abroad in Japan for a semester.
Americans are very rude.
Japan is a polite country. That is why you only use titles like -kun, -chan, etc. to people you know well. Unlike America, where people automatically call you by your first name. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about that. But what I do care about is, like I said, politness. I mean, if you were to walk through the hallways of my school between classes, you would most defintally hear things like "You're such a fag!" and "Haha, that's so f*cking gay!"
It's ridiculous.
Er, okay, rant over. I know that wasn't very long, but it's getting late and I'm supposed to be finishing my Science project. Bai bai!

PS. remind me to post pix of the outfit I wore on Monday!
PPS. By the way, just so you don't get the wrong idea, the US is a great country. I'm just not a fan of its culture.
PPPS. I would also love to studay abroad in London...

Indeed Courtney, Japanese people are really polite.
Well,I went to Japan just for two days &the people out there were so polite,even to a stranger like me.
It was really great.
Ah, that would be so nice!
Well, we curse loud in the hallways like you americans do and we don't hold doors for people...
( ^_^;;)
I guess we are polite, but I would say that for every Japanese person.
Also, that you for the compliment on my blog. You are very nice!

Yeah, I guess it's unfair to stereotype and say that all Americans are rude, and that all Japanese are polite. But overall, Japan seems like a very polite country. And while there are a lot of polite adult Americans, it seems to me that most people under twenty-five are pretty rude :/
