My folks hear me listen to VOCALOID music all the time... then again, they're used to me listening to "strange" music, especially "those Chinese songs" I've been playing since my high school days, so they don't really ask as many questions... mainly because they think it's real people singing in the songs. (=A=) (At the very least, ever since I took up learning Japanese, they've since corrected that nationality mix-up, but there's still that stigma that all Asian cultures do the same exact stuff... ah, the stereotypical older generation, gotta love 'em.)

In other news, the next person who asks me "Why don't you become a teacher?" gets a boot to the head. That's something that requires passion and patience, neither of which I have for the job... because there's so much more to it than just teaching the kids that folks either don't know or just don't understand unless they try it out for themselves. And with all of the confusion and crap I'm going through now just being an assistant (which really in their eyes I'm just an extra body to take up space whenever they need someone to class-sit instead of actually helping students that have specified needs in order to learn), I can only imagine what our educators have to go through. I do NOT want to be in charge of an entire classroom, even for an hour... that is NOT what my job description says I'm required to do. I see why there's always a need for school staffing, especially if they're not following through with what they claim they're hiring you for. Sad... :-(
