Ketsueki-gata

Otherwise known as prediction of character through blood types. Like the Astrological signs in the West AND like the Chinese Zodiac.

From what I've seen in America, people really don't pay much attention to their blood type, which I think is unfortunate because if you ever need a blood transfusion it takes time to test you for your blood type. In an emergency seconds can be really important.

I know I'm an O-... I know sucks right?!! But here are the blood types for humans(lets not worry about the + and - for right now); O, A, B, and AB.

  Chart from Google.
Okay, as you can see, the blood types are caused by the absence or presence of antigens on the surface of the red blood cell. You can only have one blood type present in your blood stream, if you are given the wrong blood type your body will reject it and that can potentially make you sick. This is why knowing your blood type and having a record of it in your medical records is essential.

Blood types are inherited from the parents, but a mother can often carry a child that has a different blood type.

The + and - signifies the RH system. The Rh system tells people that you either carry or do not carry an antigen, most commonly the D antigen. So RH+ means your blood DOES contain the D antigen and if your RH- it means you DON'T carry the D antigen. + types can receive both + and - blood types and - can only receive negative types.

O+ blood type's can only receive O+ and O- blood. O-'s can only receive O- blood(hence why is sucks to be an O-). A+'s can receive A+, A-, O+, and O- blood. A-'s can receive O- and A- blood. B+'s can receive B+, B-, O+, and O- blood. B-'s may receive O- and B- blood. AB+ can receive any blood type... so if your AB+ your super lucky! AB-'s can receive AB-, A-, B-, and O- blood. So because I'm an O- I'm a universal donor, but I can only receive type O- blood.

I will now note that Japan, as far as I know, doesn't recognize the RH factor in Ketsueki-gata. 

But on to the topic at hand: Ketsueki-gata...Like in Western Psychology, there are various personality types in Japan. There are differing variations on this such as Myers-Briggs personality types, in which there are 16 personality types. In the West, There are types A, B, C, and functional A personalities. A is aggressive, and they have a predisposition to get heart disease. B people are laid back and tend to be calm, most people tend to be considered B's. C's are introverted and have a predisposition to cancer. Functional A's can work through their aggression.

Breasts.... And a rant on myself in General...

I have gotten to a place where I knew I would be and yet... I was STILL unprepared... I am now in a DD cup size.... I knew I would be there because of my genetics.... But still.... I'm an 18 year old woman, what the hell am I doing with DD's?!!! I feel like Barbie... I'm sure people see me and think, "Oh.... look at the Bimbo, she probably doesn't know anything about anything..."

I could say worse, but I'll keep my composure.... For now. Its true though, just looking at me you would never suspect that I'm in school to become a Doctor... Though that's not set, I have backups of being a Biomedical Engineer... Because of my looks and my voice I tend to be pretentious and a know-it-all.... Which I've recently become disturbingly aware of. I honestly don't mean to be these things, and I know I'm not right all of the time, and I can happily admit when I'm wrong... but there are just times when I feel like I have to prove myself.... which everyone feels, but I think I tend to take it to the extreme... I want to be humble, but not loose my self value, or my pride. In school, I've been told by my friends that I have a really strict air about me... I'm afraid my shyness is coming off as intimidation and superiority... Which, as I'm sure I've said before, makes getting a job THAT much harder...

Another thing I've noticed, is that I'm SUPER open. Anyone can ask me just about anything and I'll answer, because I don't see the point in not answering. I mean there is the occasional question that is just too personal and then I'll give an answer like... "Sorry, I can't answer that.", "I don't know you well enough to answer that.", or my new favorite... the Japanese method, "Its very difficult for me to say."!!! But, alas, I had a point, and that is that I feel that I can really be open and expressive on my Blog, but can't on Video. On video I just seem distant and nonexistent. I'm not sure how I can be myself and still be entertaining.

I also use to many...... at the end of my sentences. Or shall I say, I use them too often? I find myself a bit annoyed when I catch myself doing this, but they have a purpose. And that is to show the flow of my thoughts, which are disturbingly scattered and most of the time incoherent... If it bothers you, sorry... there's nothing I can do.

I hate spending money, and, yet, I can't stop... It makes me feel stupid, like I can't be responsible with my money... to the point where I find myself embarrassed about spending it on stuff I actually need... like bras and a better, more school appropriate, wardrobe. I need to stop spending money on makeup and perfume... though, this I know! I have more than enough to get me into the next half decade!

Wow this was Waaaaay longer than I though it would be... sorry for the WOT!!!
