I'm an loner sort of high-school student, that's the kind of person who observes everyone's problems from a distance and finds the solution right away. Not that there's an easy solution to every problem, that's in no way true, but there's always SOME option.
Ah...what else? Well, I have a passion for J-rock, and I love anime too much.
I'm also an artist (oekaki-er), though I suck.
I love composing songs & writing poetry, and I'm pretty good with computers. Ah, and I sold my soul for a piece of baklava. However, I'm an atheist (or ...what's the word, heathen?)...so in my opinion, I got free baklava!! ^_^
And I like ramen ^_^

I play the piano, and at the moment I'm supposed to be working towards my Grade 7. The problem is, though, that my piano teacher hasn't given me the music yet - he only gives it me a couple of months before the exam and so I've never got more thatn a merit in any of the Grades so far. I know that if he gives me enough time to do my pieces, I can maybe get a distinction, or at least come close. I have a friend with a different piano teacher, and say she's working towards Grade 6, he'll give her Grade 7 music even before she's done her Grade 6. I don't get why my teacher does things differently because I know I can get better marks if I have the pieces for longer! What should I do? (link)

I'm in the RCM program, too!
And (whoa, FREAKY) I'm in grade 7, doing my exam this summer, and also starting my grade 8 pieces.
I usually overlap the grades, so that by the time I'm done one exam, I have the pieces almost memorized for the next.
It's really not fair to be restrained from learning the pieces beforehand...it's just not right. I've been getting over 90% on all my exams, because of this way.
I suggest finding a new piano teacher, however much you may be attached to your current one.

I have yet to listen to most of the jrock bands you've listed. If they were to fall under a western category, or subcategory, what would they fall under? Punk? Metalcore? Deathmetal? Industrial? I realize placing this type of music in a category is redundant, since most categories have very similar sounds, and most bands are hybrids of these, but I just had to ask?

Ah...they're all really different, the style would change from song to song.
Many of them are just hardcore (get your MIND outta the gutter!!)
...for example, Gackt's songs usually fall under metal or punk, but there's some that are definitely jungle...
Of course, J-rockers don't DRESS like the rockers here...
If you've ever seen pictures of Dir En Grey or X Japan, you'd be shocked.

What's jpop and jrock. Is the j short for Japan. If so, have you heard of the Pillows, they're Awesome. Music from Japan is awesome. (link)

Hell yeah! Jrock ~> japanese rock.
The Pillows sing the best FLCL songs...
But my favourite artist is Gackt, followed by Ayumi Hamasaki, and l'arc~en~ciel.
I also like Dir en Grey, X Japan, The Brilliant Green, Utada Hikaru, Megumi Hayashibara, Yuuki Hiro, and Hitomi to death.
