About Me
Mimi is the name. :D I'm fifteen years old, but I rarely act my age, meaning I can be either a complete child, or very motherly. I live to write, and I write to live. Fanfiction is my passion. I'm not that into original fiction, unless it's very well-written. I'm also an experienced beta reader (an editor). It kills me inside when I see mistakes in people's writing that I can't fix, so that's why I beta read. I used to have a different story up, but I scrapped it because I hated where the plot was heading. I tend to ramble on and on about things people don't care about, so my journal entries will be longer than average. Ehh, too lazy to write anything else. Oh, one last thing. I'm a Cardcaptor Sakura addict. Pfft, who needs all this new crap? I'm sticking to the old stuff. If you're one of those rare fans of Cardcaptor Sakura, drop by my Fanfiction account.

Singing
It’s been exactly one year since I started singing. Like, really singing, not just silly singing with friends. I have no intention of singing professionally, but it’d be nice to get some real lessons. With a vocal coach. But my parents can’t afford them, having spent a lot of their money on my school tuition.
Last year, when I began experimenting with my voice, it was hard reaching high and low notes without straining. My voice had been high already, so I didn’t think I could go higher. What did I sound like? I’d have to say that my voice sounded kind of like Yui Makino’s, only a little deeper. (Yui Makino, by the way, does the voice of Sakura-hime in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. She is also one of my favorite singers.) I sang nothing but soft, ballad-like songs, since they suited me. I was afraid of belting out, because I was positive I wouldn’t sound good. I did, however, volunteer to sing in front of my class for prayer. I was so nervous, my voice got really shaky and I had to sing in the back. But people liked it. From that moment on, girls I never spoke to were trying to get me to sing to them. I refused, still very self-conscious.
Then I got bolder. High notes weren’t so tough, and low notes were even easier. I sang louder and lower. I chose songs that weren’t so high. For example, lately I’ve been getting into Paramore. Hayley’s voice is not high and her voice is not whispery, lullaby soft. I tried her song “That’s What You Get.”
It killed my throat. I couldn’t match the strength of her voice. Or her range.
But I kept trying. And it took a week, but I got it. I don’t sound like Hayley in the least, and I’m not nearly as good as she is, but I got the song down. I wish I could say the same for when I sing her other songs. “Crushcrushcrush” is pretty easy, except for when I get into the chorus. A little off-tune there. “Misery Business” and “Pressure” are both impossible for me. I can’t stay in tune at all, and the high notes are killer.
Now that I’ve tried singing in a lower key, I can’t sing higher anymore. I mean, I can, but it’s not easy. My voice sounds more like YUI’s now, especially when I’m singing her song “Che.r.ry”.
I was in my school choir last year, and maybe I’ll be confident enough to attempt a solo this year.
By the way, that fire a few days ago? A grill from a nearby street went up in flames. The fire trucks had trouble squeezing through our tiny neighborhood.
