BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DESCEND INTO ANARCHY NOW DO WE.

Just some basic stuff.

1. Be nice! Sarcasm and jokes are fine (as long as everyone's okay with it), but don't be a douchebag to anyone. Nobody likes douchebags. Don't be mean to people, basically. If you feel threatened or uncomfortable, send the mods or admin a personal message and we'll see what we can do.

2. Don't spam or be obnoxious. Don't make a million threads about the same thing, don't post a bajillion times in a row about the same thing, you get the picture. Don't be annoying, basically. XD

I don't wanna believe it

My beloved grandma suddenly passed away today.
My older brother called me to tell me.
I couldn't believe it.
I don't want to believe it.
I really, really loved my grandma.
When I asked her if I could post her picture on my blog,
she would always pose with a smile for me, even though she was embarrassed to do it.

Every time I visited home, I made absolutely sure to visit her.
When I saw my grandma's smiling face,
I'd feel at peace.
Because my grandma always did her...

My thoughts.

Good morning.

Today,
the play "Kizuna"
has its final show!!
I'll do my best.

This morning a difficult thing happened.
The doctors said that my friend's parent is sick.
When he heard it, it was a real shock.
He fell to his knees right in front of me,
and sobbed.
When I saw it, I also couldn't stop crying.
What can I do for him now?
I've been thinking about it constantly.
All the time, constantly thinking about it.
I'll believe.
And I'll make sure...

I was surprised, and since I like to be clean, I went right back home and got in the tub.
But no matter how much I washed and washed, the paint wouldn't come off.
As I cried, I scrubbed my body...
