Otakon 2009 Plans

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:28:56 GMT

Yeep, I haven't updated since last Otakon, haven't I? DX
Nyah, not as much as I want to see this year... Beides the Eva premier and the Death Note Movies... I guess that's both a good and bad thing since it means more panels to catch this year. I've totally given up on autograph sessions by now, the curse of the 13th con still lingers with me... x__x
Anywho, my plans are:
Wednesday: PACK!!!! (and clean out my car DX)
Thursday: Leave for Baltimore to get there by 6, NORO, my meetup group, is having a dinner then going to the line after it clears down.
Friday: Mebbe see the AniMyu panel, Gotta see the Death Note Movie, Then heading over to the end of our club prez's Jmusic panel cuz I'm gonna see the Crossplay panel afterwards, then... grabbing a quick dinner I guess and then heading back for the Kimono panel, then catching the last of D.Grayman and then staying for Deeper Than Black, then leaving for the last light rail? If it turns out I'm not right about the light rail times, I guess I'm leaving after the kimono panel...
Saturday: "Surviving a Mecha Battle"?, maybe... definately catching the Eva (second) premier, then..... Death Note: L Change the World... then the Hellsing panel, lotsa free time ^_^;
Sunday: Shopping!!!!!!!!!! Then... dunno, depression I guess.... T_T Alas, 'tis over far too quickly for us all...

So that's what I'm doing basically unless a sudden schedule change affects my plans. >_>

Otakon 2008!!! =^w^=

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:55:02 GMT

Huzzah, I have been and I have returned from the event known as Otakon, the number one con on the East Coast! <3
And so as not to flood my journal with my exploit, I will now cut:

Day 1, Thursday: Day of Packing and Getting my Pass
Packed everything I thought I might need (didn't use half of it, was too lazy to dress up like last year)
Drove off to my aunts house, waited for my lil bro who was attending with me for a day then we got driven to registration by my friend Justin.
I had told Matty (my second littlest bro at age just turned 9) about Otakon already so he kinda knew was was going on, especially thanks to G4 coverage of Comicon. I told him it was like that, just a little smaller but still with crazy cosplayers and junk. XD
So he was somewhat prepared and very excited to see it. Especially the Naruto cosplayers. X3 (if he had just remembered his Naruto jacket, I could have made him a little cosplayer too ^__^ )
So when we got in line he was like "Whoa, you were right!" and then he was very happy when I pointed out the Naru cosplayer that was sitting by the fence. (will find pic and post later)
Line went fairly quickly, but we went into the wrong one, moved by the flow and had to run over to the 'Special Needs' line halfway through which went freaking foreverness. DX
Well we eventually went through, passing the time pointing out cosplayers and Mudkips. (I LIEK MUDKIPS!!!1!!one LOL)
Aand I was so exhausted and braindead by that point, I think I bought my tickets again DX
Aanyway.... I chose a hellsing badge (would've chosen Geass but I didn't like the pose very much) and Matt chose Fullmetal Alchemist "A brother after my own heart!" I exclaimed <3
I'll show him the series someday now. ^__^
So after that we went home to my aunts house and went to bed for the big day.

Day 2: It Begins!!!! Matt's First Con!!!!!
Awoke at 7 or so, but we were still late due to breakfast and Matt running around playing with our little bro and sis (William and Catherine) But it turned out we didn't miss much on what we attempted to view, more on that later. Anyway we got there via the light rail (which he was a bit excited about) and Matt was really amazed because that's when people come en masse and really go crazy with the cosplay. <3
Anyway we got there to see Steam Detectives at the 2nd ep or so. Aand like I said, it seemed like we didn't miss much because it kinda stank. How badly? When your little 9 year old brother joins in in making fun of it, it's pretty bad, even if he's very smart and mature for his age (and a great joker too) So that kinda saved it, lol. Second ep poisoning ep? Anyways we started making fun of the evil stepsister thing going on "It's Snow White, no Sleeping Beauty!" and called the main character a Sasuke look-alike 'that acts like Yugi!!' had lots of fun but left after credits after asking Matt if he wanted to just leave.
The anime did have some good points, I kinda like that old style of design (ever since Cyborg 009) and a lot of things pointed out in reviews as being bad quality animation I think were really done on purpose to make it look old school. But the dub sucked. And the plot. XD Soo, rent to check it out I guess, but don't buy. Unless you're an avid collector of old-school style or like my 'uncle' who just likes to buy stuff.
Anyway we left early and headed to Chiko the Phantom Thief, got there early and waited with Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach lol, Matt loved that.
Chiko was a pretty good anime, though I had to read out the subs to Matt which I could barely read myself because of people in front which killed my throat. (wtf is up with my spellcheck anyway? it's totally on the fritz) And Matty my lil genius bro was smart enough to get a lot of things. (seriously, he was doing multiplication in [and before] kindergarten and he writes awesomely, creative too <3 ) I wanna cosplay as Chiko's friends next year lol.
Well things went a lil downhill from there. Reason: The Yuri Lowenthal Line of DOOOOOOM!!!!! See, I decided Matt and Will would like his autograph because of his roles as Ben in Ben 10: Alien Force and as Sasuke in Naruto, and I want his as Pip in Hellsing Ultimate so we waited in line for his autograph. And waited. And waited. And waited. I can stand this kind of thing, a lil kid can't. And then, like last years Hirano-sensei line, we were 10 frecking behind when it stopped. Gaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! And we were told tickets for later were being handed out down in the dealers but when we ran down there they had already given them out!!!!!!!!! We waited for 2 frecking hours and they were already given out before our line ended. I cried. I seriously cried. I wanna cry again now. I am crying again now. I will now move on in order to refrain from the curses which wish to stream from my mouth. I love ya Yuri, you're awesome as a VA but please go ahead and be mean and not listen to all the bakayaro who want to hear you yell stuff in different voices. Just freaking sign and move on so the rest of us get a frecking chance. T___T (I'm gonna Death Note all you losers I know cut btw seriously, I'm getting the eyes and tracking you down suckas. Death Note FTFW!!!! [I really do have one, see below])
So that was disappointing but we got over it (thanks to the ~~(false)~~ hope of a ticket pass-out the next day ~~(%$*&^#*@)~~ ) and I decided "Hey, since we're down here, lets grab a couple ~~overpriced~~ hotdogs and get to shopping for you and Willie" so shop we did. I got Matt and Will both Leaf hitai-ate, Matt's red, Will's the normal blue, kunai, and a Ichigo-Zangetsu-looking sword (wood, duh) and an Anbu mask for Matt and Will respectively but also for sharing. And there at the same place as the red hitai-ate I got an Urahara keychain <3<3<3<3<3<3x9000 (behind the aweome keychain-collector dude <3<3<3) and at the awesome sword place I got a black bokken whose name is now Karasu <3<3<3<3 (self joke) And got a Death Note. <3 ((Wished I could have stopped for doujin but not with a little bro, no way.))
So we left, our spoils in tow and made for the Otachan room for a lil R&R. Matt made a dragon (which I need to get to him cuz he left it behind) and I sat at the origami table and attempted a crane. Which I failed at so I stole one when Matt and I left. *shifty eyes*
So I had planned to let Matt see the Gundam movie, but we went in and saw it was the crappy Gundam and Matt was exhausted after the long day and I knew he didn't want to see the DN movie with me so I took him home. I was planning it to be a quick swoop in swoop out but dinner was in process so I stayed (fried tomatoes zomg!!!!!!!! )
So by the time I ate and rode the rail back I was late for the Death Note movie but I didn't miss much in my opinion. Got in time for L's appearance at least <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3xZOMG
The Death Note movie was a very awesome and very interesting viewing. The different perpective of the DN universe than the series was very intriguing to watch (like Misora's alternate end) and... lots of awesomeness ensued as well. Sorry, but I can't find to many words to describe without breaking open the thesaurus and then I'm still saying the same thing anyway... Anwho, definately going out and buying... when my account settles >__>
THE CHIPS!!!!! ZOMG THE CHIPS!!! AND THE CAKE SKEWER!!! OMG L-TAN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 L SLEEPING SITTING AND BLANKET!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! *faints from happy overload*
Okay, back. Let's move on before more fainting spells... Can you guess my favourite char? lol
So after it was over (with the strange ending theme of Danny California O__o ) I went off in search of... Well I don't remember anymore, maybe I wanted to stalk Erin-sempai at the 'Women in Webcomics' panel lol. Anyways as I was going to wherever I was going, I passed by 009-1 and went in to watch. The Cyborg 009 series was one of my favourites and now this is definately up there. It's like a female James Bond, they even use the theme and for those worried about sexual themes, they don't actually show anything. Not quite so on violence I think I remember. It's no Gantz but there is some. I would rate it teen probably. Plot was rather interesting. Sorry, I was in a investigative mood from the DN movie so that's what I did. And I yelled out "It's Skullman!!!!" at a scene with a skull on the full moon so if you were there and heard me that's who it was lol
So after it was over, went to go see Saber Marionettes with my friend Justin who I had met up with after 009 was over (he was watching too.) It was bad. But funny. Glad to have watched it, won't again. So we left early for the "Ultimate Hellsing Panel of Ultimateness". Which was good because we needed wristbands so we had to go and get them and got there in time then. (Really funny thing happened with another friend who was meeting us there btw, he walked right past us without seeing and then called us while standing right next to us XD haha good times.)
The panel was lots of times, the presenter dressed like Joker was awesomely funny. And if you're PG status then stop reading now until I get to the next day, k?
Anyway he threatened his 'magic trick' on us and then gave a speech like the Major's var speech except about porn. Would love to have remembered enough to reiterate, but sorry. Was laughing too hard to remember, gomen ne. Just take the Major's speech and reinsert pornographic terms and there you go. Close enough. Soo, lots of porn talk and spoilers and picking on poor spoilered Anderson who dared to ask what happens to him and talk of fave pairings and who doesn't give a damn who ends up with who (raised hand, don't care too much as long as it's written well) and the Grand Ending to End all Endings (not real but still spoilery): Doc pushes the Gundam!Button which turns the Major into the Nazi Hindenburg Gundam so Britain sends British Voltron to fight him and Anderson comes back from the dead cuz if he died using Jesus' crown of thorns what is Jesus famous for and he turns into Jesus Christ Superstar Vatican Bot and rocks fall everyone dies. Rocks being the British codeword for Nuclear Bombs in this case.
And we wouldn't have had all this fun if the computer hadn't broke, thank you gateway! We didn't get to see porn-fanart though.... curse you gateway. *gnar* But they told us about the LJ comm here so maybe not. I'll go find laters. Aand discussions on Schrodingers' Theory as it pertains to Schro. So it was a little intelligent there, lol
...I wanted to see the magic trick.... (kidding kidding please don't track me down Joker-sama)
Anyway when it ended my guy friend Justin fled the scene because of what was next...
YAOI PANEL!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
Was very fun, very very fun. And interesting, wasn't just showing of porn, in fact I was slightly disappointed in that field. Not that there wasn't any, but there was more discussion on things like uke vs seme and who gets what and based on what: Height, Pecking Order, Femininity.
Height is biggest factor and trumps all. Interestingly enough in Japanese yaoi, the kouhei tops sempai (underling tops superior) because he might be complaining but if he is actually higher in the pecking order and can actually trump the seme then he can't really be complaining for real and is just in denial. hehehe It's also an issue of burdens. The kouhei wants to take on some responsibilities to feel stronger and the sempai wants to dump all these burdens he has and leave the responsibilites to another. So it all works out! X3
Femininity: Another interesting thing about Japan is that long hair can actually be masculine. Leftover from the samurai days I guess. Case in point: Sephiroth. Okay, to us westerners he may seem girly, but think about it, who the hell is gonna top him? See? Same goes for Sesshomaru. Though I haven't seen him with anyone with a y chromosome except Inuyasha (ick ick ick ick)
Moving on.....
Okay I've lost my train of thought... Yup left the station without me...
There was a pairing likelyhood scale in which SasuNaru has been upped do to new info. That's all I remember.
It was fun, had lots of fun squealing at pretty and sexxy pictures, was disappointed when it was over. Left and went home to bed.

Day 3: It Continues!!!!
Matty and everyone went home that morning sometime after I left.
I promised to get Yuri autographs by getting tickets that morning at the Bandai booth. I got there. Was crushed once more. T_____T
Let us pause a moment in reverence to crushed dreams.
Let me not type the litany I wish to type mostly consisting of a phrase that begins with an 'f' and ends in a 'u' (too much country music at work gaaah)
Heck, I'm gonna type it and then delete it...
I feel better now.
Anyway, good news. I didn't get Yuri's autograph but I did see a line at another booth found out it was for Jo Chen thought "What the heck got time to kill" and proceeded to wait in line. While lamenting that I left the art book with her work in it at home to make my bag lighter. DX
But I bought two posters and got them signed by her!!!!!! Huzzah! The curse is lifted I thought. (I jinxed myself of course. curse you lack of wood in my premises)
Will photo and post pics later.
Oh yeah, that morning on the way in, saw Ryuuk cosplayer with apples and took pic. Yesterday I saw the Doctor. Will post all pics of everything, probably in seperate post.
Anywho... I bought kimono's I now remember, before the line, I remember lugging them.
Arise is now closed by now, I love them ;__; , tried on and bought three kimonos and an obi. A cute little white with pink sakura more-like-jacket on me, a 30-dollar-bin summer yukata, and a '20s beautiful kimono that actually nearly fits and is long enough and is so pretty!!! They're all slightly damaged but will be fixed. They're also my weight loss goal! XD
Got a Maneki-Neko, Maneki-neko family somehow o__o, tabi socks, and kimono-patterned shoelaces for my Monkey King shoes (which are the awesome sauce btw).
Jo Chen awesome line then. Then left on way to Shine Heaven Now meetup stopped quick and got Getbackers and Full Metal Panic series thinboxes. <3
((BTW, learned in yaoi panel that Ban/Ginji is a legit pairing even if not shown blatantly in the series and was shown legit art by the maker of them together *squeeeeeee* ))
Soo, rushed to ~~stalk~~ hang out with Erin-sempai again this year, but didn't make it. *pouts* Just freaking over the time by a couple minutes!!! *poutypout* So called up my friend for lunch then. Ate at California Tortilla, saw an awesome Jrock cosplayer, name of band escapes me at the moment... Even though it's one of my faves O__O;
Anywho good burritos there.
Ran off to get in line for KAPPEI YAMAGUCHI, L-SAMA'S FREAKING SEIYUU. But the line was closed.
Lamentation.
Despair.
Strange feeling of "Okay, it's bad but at least I didn't have to wait in line for hours before I found out"
Acceptance.
Next year I'm waiting all freaking day suxxors!!!!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!! And I'll Death Note the competition!!!!!!!!! *Raito insane laughter*
So I went down to the Artists Room to drown my grief. Apparently... because I went on a feel-better spree. XwX
Bought enough L art to make a shrine (which I may do, lol) <3 Bought these little wood chibi statues of L, Ulquiorra-kun, and Canti-sama <3. An Urahara phone charm <3. And some original stuff.
Including ASPS art where I got to meet and talk to the author and we traded info and she was so happy to meet a fan and I was so happy to find a lead on my dead end and freaking yaayness <3<3<3<3
She signed my Death Note for me too!! lol After the author of Directions of Destiny did lol.
Got the Death Note autograph from a fellow Yuri line waiter who was using one and asking people to write how they wanted to die too, which I didn't do but kinda wish I had. Would have been fun.
Got one of those drawn ID's too. I'm an official Bishounen Hunter!! XD
And some fun keychains, double sided phrases: "Weird and Proud"-"Evil Beware! We Have Waffles!!" (cookie if you know where the second's from) and "Prince Yuki Club Member"-"Sohma Family Member, If You Hug Me I'll Turn Into an Ox" (ginger beef if you get this one, cookies if you get this second joke lol)
Anywho, left loaded with swag and ummm....
Hellsing OVAs! Got in late. But nothing I don't own. Sat on floor until declared a fire hazard lol. Got crappy seats then. Then better when many people left for some reason. But noticed I lost my Bishie License luckily found it.
OVA 4 was Awesome Sauce. *glee*
*sings Var song* Seriously, I was singing it forever afterwards I have no idea how and where I got the lyrics but I knew them all o__O
I wanna cosplay Rip! Was saying "Tinker, tailor, Soldier, sailor. Mine gun punishes all without distinction!" repeatedly.
I'll cosplay her and sing German opera all day and say her phrase <3
After that bumped into Justin again and we went and saw the fan parodies. Mostly VicBond007's stuff, not that he isn't awesome but I had seen it already. Lotsa other old stuff. Evangelion ReDeath and Nescaflowne. Got to see the whatever it was called video done right there at the con with the Mopee vs whoever thing. Funny.
Didn't see S.T.E.A.M. wanted some sleep actually and couldn't find this thing I wanted to that I can't remember anymore so left and went home to bed.

Day 4: And So It Ends
Wanted to get to the 'Murder Mystery Manga' panel. But my ride, Justin, was late. Late as it would have taken on the light rail which was the whole point of him taking me. DX
Oh well, I know about Kindaichi and Conan and a little of Monster so...
'Tokyo or Bust' was surprisingly good. The paneler didn't make it, because of her flight, so said Alice Volkmar President of Otakon zomg <3.Anyway mike was passed around instead and got some good info. Then when Alice came it went to this one woman from the previous panel actually who had been there as an English teacher. A real one. Lotsa good stuff, Justin has it written, must ask.
Got to the 'Improve Your Fanfiction' panel. Didn't say much more than I knew...
Then went to 'Amateur Voice Acting'. Lots of fun and awesome.
Then stopped in to the AMVs quick, DN video, beautiful one. Will track down!!!!!!!
Nearly killed Justin for distracting me. *rawr*
Dealers room for last day deals!!!! Lots of stuff, Lots of swag, List later. Too much. Much too much!!! DX
^__________^-
(Yaoi doujin!!!!! <3 )
Got free Otakon T-shirt from previous year and realised the source of my curse: 2006, my first con year was the year of Otakon's 13th convention.
...Curses.
So got kicked out, dragging my swag behind me. (will seriously tally later, 'nother post)
Nearly dieing in the process... x__x
Anyway managed to make it out, Justin got the car cuz no freaking way was dragging my stuff all the way. So waited... and read my L photobook <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Decided to wait outside, exchanged words with poor spoilered Anderson lol
Aand left. Dinner at Japanese restaurant Otami which is great btw.
The end.

Chain of Thought

Fri, 23 May 2008 01:47:51 GMT

Today the clouds in the sky resembled the cottonballs pasted on blue paper by children.
It's way too cold to be May. The weather is more like March's lion.
Memorial day is supposed to be 80 somehow.
I blame you George. 8 years of your crap and look what's happening to the environment. Bastard.

I had a reuben for dinner today and tiramisu dessert. <3
But somehow it seems that my tiramisu never tastes as good as the first I ever had. Is that how it really is, or have I given my first taste more glory than it really had?
I know the reuben is as good as the first one I remember having.
And I've found a place that makes General Tsao's Chicken as good as the first one.
But tira-chan you come up lacking somehow.
They need more coffee liqueur. Pour the Kahlua on baby!! <3

My incisions are healing nicely. Thank you nobody for asking. It'll be two weeks now since the surgery.
I tried to walk at the gym today. Made it one mile. Got stitches in my side so badly from the stitches that I had to stop. I usually go about 4 miles normally.
But I can't complain too much. It's better than before the surgery where I had horrible stomach cramps so bad I just wanted to just die. Seriously, that thought passed my mind one night as I lay in pain in my bed unable to sleep (for days). And vomiting up nearly everything I ate. Well, not really, I'm tough like that. I don't like throwing up, so I'm able to will myself in circumstances like that. But I still barely ate because of the sickness and pain that would follow. (I've lost 10 pounds since all this btw)
One-inch gallstone they found. Egads. Thank God that plot was foiled.
It was strange how I felt during this sickness... A song entered my head that appears whenever I'm feeling this horribly miserable, a sad one, almost a dirge, like my body knew I was nearly dying... A very strange feeling... Finding myself singing this song from nowhere... As if I was hearing another singing it...
Now that I'm better, I can no longer hear it. And in a way that is just as sad. It was a beautiful song, even through it's sadness...

From the far of distance
I hear the wind calling
Calling, Calling
For me to come home...

Pocky makes it all better

Fri, 16 May 2008 19:30:34 GMT

Because of my current condition, I have been unable to go the local asian store to get my Pocky fix. So I found a packet of Men's Pocky, half-melted that's been in my possession since last Otakon.
I am in Heaven. <3
POCKY=LOOOOVE!<3<3<3

PS: My rat loves me too, she's a Pockyholic as well ^__^
I give her the ends without chocolate and she's stuffing her mouth full with the pieces XD

My Gallbladder Tried to Kill Me!!!!! DX

Tue, 13 May 2008 02:31:50 GMT

It's true! It seems that my gallbladder became jealous from not being needed and my liver doing the same job so it hatched a plot of my demise. Which backfired. You see, the stone it created to go down its duct into my pancreas, which would have created a serious disorder, became to big to go through the duct and got stuck. This entire plot is the source of the extreme unwellness I've been having on and off for the last few months, btw. Anyway, I am now rid of the fiend thanks to the surgeons at the local hospital and am now rehabilitating with a holes in my stomach (4, 3 exploratory and 1 to get the gallbladder out) and pain meds that don't work right because they're not the same ones prescribed. DX
As soon as I get Maplestory working I'm gonna go kill something...

I GOTS A TABLET!!!!!!!

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 06:42:41 GMT

ZOMG I AM SO HAPPY CUZ I'VE BEEN WANTING ONE FOR FOREVERNESS!!!!! *danceydancedancedance*
Awesome 9x12 screen, 1024 sensitivity. w00t X3

I did some practice pics on it, they're over in my writing/art account. They're crap, but they'll definitely get better once I get the hang, coloring isn't too bad and I want scribblyness anyway so I'll be doing coloring til I get the hang. I'm definately not drawing on it like I do on paper, 'specially since I'm used to turning the paper and junk and my hand position isn't the same on it I've noticed. Just need practice...
And i need to get stickers to put above the 'undo' hotkey on the tablet because it's very hard to see... I have to put it near my face to read them....
But it's still awesome and I am so happy. *glee*
(I'm too tired actually to spazz-rant right now PX )

Sweeeeneeeey

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 05:44:56 GMT

Just saw Sweeney Todd. Had to drive frecking 45 minutes to get to the only theatre playing it. (And they just freaking started playing it in the frecking theatre here like 2 weeks ago and they're still playing stupid movies which have been out forever!! grr!) Anyway, it was so worth it, that movie was awesome. Less blood then I imagined, but I guess I'm used to that sorta thing watching Hellsing Ultimate and SpeedGrapher, both very gruesome anime able to go to the full limits since it's animated and all. (Bloody Decapitation Happy Fun Time!!) So it only mildly disturbed me in the gore department. But I have sworn off pot pies for life. o__o;
Heck, maybe it's finally pushed me fully veg-head. Always been on the fence. Well, no meat anytime soon at least. XP
Why are all my Sweeney icons on my other account? Meh, this one it rather fitting in a way. Makes me think of the scene in the bakery with the bone pile and other ~~supplies~~ remains.
*wanders off singing* Hello my friend, you will soon drip precious rubies... >3

Name meme taken from invderlava

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 07:10:18 GMT

What Corie Means

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Amazing how this so totally doesn't fit me. XP Umm.... no, I really don't. That is why my journal is so blankety blankness. I'll agree with the creative part. ...When my muses get off their lazy arses. x__X I am many things at different parts of my life... but so are most people. Though I will agree that mine is to extremes since it varies daily or hourly or minutely... erm.... yeah.... where am i? who am i? what was I just doing? Where the hell did my Pocky go?? I'm so not dependable, but I am loyal. Okay, I do pressure myself too much. That's why I actually try my best to not and wind up going in the opposite direction into total apathy. But when I do spazz, I SPAZZ. ... ... ... ... well..... not very outwardly ('cept on here), but inwardly yes zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... uhuh.... maybe you're thinking of Bizarro-me.... *see below* *cough*AADHD*cough* Yup yup Well... lots of people like me. Back in HS, everyone (that wasn't a preppy little witch) was all like "Awwwww!! You're so cuuute!!" See!! This is what I mean by not causing trouble!

Swaaaaaag, and the Curse of Davy Jones (or something)

Punk Rock Flea Market again! Yaay! (i'll list my swag later)
But, bad news, I left my wallet there and when I came back, the dealer was gone that I probably left it at. So, I cancelled my card just in case it really was stolen. Uggg...

Watched Naruto last night. To LMAO. XD I was really MSTing it like crazy. Yelling out things like "OMG!! Taser!!" "Taser-saber!!!" and "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!" the whole time Aoi was spinning after the rasengan hit him, only interspersed by me laughing to hard to speak. Kami, I love that thing.
Then I saw One Piece later on. Thank kami the theme song got changed. I no longer want to pierce my eardrums with sharp implements!! Yaay!
And OMFG!!! The voice actors changed!!! o__x
Some of the changes are an improvement, maybe all of them. But I kinda liked Zoro's old one a lil. But Sanji is a mega-improvement. Even if he does sound kinda... gay. (But maybe that is an improvement to me as well XP [Sanji/???? yaoi!!! Ace, definately Ace. Zoro is taken by Luffy X3 ])

Gyaaaaaaa!! Today I got counterfeit 20s at my job. And I didn't do the marker-thing until after they had left. I am so at myself for that. I was trying to rush the line cuz it was long. And then, one of the guys had the nerve to come back and try it again. Ho-boy. We didn't get him that time either though. I caught it before I gave him any change this time but he left while I had my back turned getting the manager. grrr....
People really annoy me sometimes....
The bills were kinda interesting, they looked a bit funny once I looked at them closer. Slightly off coloration.
I'm glad I don't work tomorrow, I need a day to get off my embarassment...

Sempur Fi!

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 03:02:39 GMT

Nyaa, I keep forgetting to post this totally awesome event...
Anyways, a few weeks or whenever ago, I went with my grandparents to the Reading Air Show. It's a mostly WWII centered thing, but there's a bit of modern stuff too. Well, I went there on the last day, I had work all the others, it was raining, but not too horribly, I still had fun. (Though almost everything was closed.) Walked around, was disappointed that the t-shirt souv. place didn't have "Rosie the Riveter" shirts anymore, but I got a "Remove Before Use" or something like that keychain there. Well, me and my grandma walked around, saw lotsa neat stuff, including this adorable cart-pulling small drafthorse-type that was in the French or German village. The clothing shop was interesting too, it had authentic '40s era clothing and such. And at this display/education thing that had a little bit of souvenir stuff, I got a WASP pin and a postcard of a pic of a bomber going over mountains.
And then, as we were crossing over to the hangar, a moment occurred, full of total awesomeness... There was a tent with a short line (horray for rain!!) and inside was.....
R. Lee Ermey!!!!!!!!
TOTAL. FREAKING. W00TNESS!!!!!!!!!
So I got to get a autographed photo of him and I talked to him a lil. Not much, 'cuz I can be a horribly shy person, especially to an awesome guy like him, and it was so out of the blue. Well anyway, I told him I really loved his show Mail Call, I watch it all the time, and he replied that he had a lot of fun doing the show.
Yup, not much. But it so made my day. And my boss at the pet store who was a Marine thought it was totally awesome when I brought the pic in. He said he wanted to steal it and scratch my name out and put his on instead. XD

Oi..... X__X

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 01:21:10 GMT

Oh what a conundrum I have stumbled upon! Otakon, of which I am participating, takes place July 20-22, and I have recently discovered that one of my favourite of bands, They Might Be Giants, is performing at a club here, practically in my backyard, at that time. I will not go through the trouble of driving all the way there and then back to Otakon (most likely will not), therefore, alas, I must miss them. nyaaaaaaaaa...... What a way to take the fun out of Otakon.... T___T

Yaay! Nezumi-chan!!

Wed, 30 May 2007 03:48:02 GMT

Whee!! I got myself a pet rat!! Yaaay!!! XD
Her name is Sugarpaw(official), or Yuki or Yun-chan(her first name? what I actually call her mostly)
She's so kawaiiiii!!! With her cute lil dark-grey fur with white paws (hence the name). Nyaa, my cute little Yun-chaaan!!!
She's a bit shy right now, but she was such a cutie-pie when I first picked her up at my work (rescued her from the feeder rat cage, nyaa) she was sitting in my arms grooming herself and chittering.
Her home has this cute little house that she loves to hide in, so cute! X3

ZOMG!!!

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 03:22:52 GMT

I totally freaked when I saw falsechaos's on their journal. I freaking love the book series and I've been wanting to take a daemon personality quiz for a while but could never find one. What better one to take than this one?
Yee, Alrin fits me so well!! Before, when I wondered what my daemon would be like, I knew it would be a cat, once I wondered if it would be a leopard, but a large cat doesn't fit me, but a domestic one doesn't either because I have a little bit of wildness in me, so I started thinking of small wildcats like the Caracal or Serval or a Ringtail once, so omg when he came up, I freaked because he really did fit me so well. I am hyperventilating right now, omg.
(PS: His name on there is actually 'Alvin', but I first read it as Alrin, and I really don't like the name Alvin much anyway *cringe*, so it's ALRIN ^_^; )

*giggles* I bet he's so sarcastic. Because I might be sarcastic in here, but I'm not in the real world, but I'm always thinking sarcastic thoughts, so I've always thought my daemon would be openly sarcastic for me. XD
I LOVES YOU ALRIN!!!!! <3
It's a mouse! <3~ XD

(Though, then again, maybe the name 'Alvin' will grow on me... It does remind me too much of the chipmunks though.... gaaaa...)

Bored. Utterly, Supremely, B-O-R-E-D.

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:54:00 GMT

Eheh, I love this icon. 'Tis made by me. XD

Anyways... gaaaahhhh, I'm really restless right now (damn caffeine) and want to do something but I have no idea what to do. This is what happens when I'm extremely bored... I want to do something but I'm too bored to do anything.
I want to draw something, but I don't.
I want to write something, but I don't.
I want to read my textbooks, but I don't.
I want to catch up with the Harry Potter reading thing, but I don't.
I want to sleep, but I don't.
I want to go to the mall. But my car's license is expired...nyaaaaa.... >__<
I WANT MY BUBBLE TEA!!!!!! AND MY POCKY, NYAAA!!!!!
*goes into Pocky relapse*

I want Otakon to get here already!!!!!!! >_____<;
I think I'll cosplay this year. I'll go as... Shojo Bat!! My version of Shonen Bat/Lil Slugger from Paranoia Agent. XD
Mwahahaha!! Concussions for everyone!!! >3

*sigh* Part of the reason I don't want to draw right now is that I'm sick of drawing stuff and being unable to put it up on DevArt. Even if my art is horribly sukuribuli and such (and most of my recent stuff is done on register paper...), I still like posting it.

Hmmm... I think I really will sketch out my planned costume for cosplaying for the last Harry Potter book midnight buying thing. I have to cosplay at least once, you know. XD
I'm a Ravenclaw, BTW. XP

This stupid migraine is really getting my down though. It's not bad, or not as bad as they get, in fact it's barely there, but it won't go away. They never go away. I need a new prescription. X__X

Author held Hostage

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 05:16:22 GMT

My muse is holding me hostage and won't let me write 'Like Clockwork', waaah!!
Shini-chan: Shut up and write me Dan/Danny yaoi!!!
Noooooooooo!!!! *dies*
Shini: *pokepoke* Kuso... Where'd I put that Phoenix Down.... *wanders off*

Anywho, when I do finish the last few freckin' lines, I'll be putting my fic on my new(ish) writing journal: junpaku_karasu. That's where I'll be putting all my fics from now on, both fanfics and original fics.

DP fic: 'Like Clockwork' pt.1

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 07:54:54 GMT

Like Clockwork
rating: PG-13?

“This is stranger to watch than I thought it would be, and I'm supposed to know everything,” Clockwork comments aloud, watching the scene before him, a wry smile on his face, containing a touch of wistfulness.
Unusually for him, Clockwork is not shifting between forms every few seconds, instead remaining in his middle-aged form, not wanting any distraction from the scene unfolding within the portal before him. He is about to witness the death (deaths?) of Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton. However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it is to be the birth of something even greater than one could imagine. Actually, Clockwork could imagine it, Clockwork knows everything. That is the reason he still has a slight smile on his face as Phantom crashes into the ground, reverting to Danny Fenton, his body broken and bleeding. His foe approaching for the final blow...

“CLOCKWORK!!!” The Observants suddenly appear, proving themselves to be more of a distraction than any form shifting could ever be. Clockwork knew they were coming, of course. However, knowing something is coming, doesn't mean you don't react accordingly. Clockwork cringes, and thus misses the blow that cuts through Danny Fenton's chest cavity, sternum to navel. Again.

“Help us Clockwork! We cannot see what will happen next! We cannot see the future! We know something is about to happen, but we do not know what!,” the Observants rant together in a state of panic, Clockwork growing more and more annoyed each passing second. When the Observants' rants begin to reach the state of unintelligible babble, Clockwork lets his annoyance be known.

“Would it be too much to ask to see my own death in peace for once?,” he demands, tone full of vexation.

The Observants are silent for one blissful moment at those words. Alas, it is but a moment, and they begin to speak once more, though slow and hesitant, compared to the sheer panic of before.
“B-But, this is Daniel Phantom's death... You don't mean... What-How is it possible?...” After uttering those words, the Observants finally fall into silence, allowing Clockwork to view the remaining scene in blissful silence.

Samantha Fenton rushes to her husband's side, not caring about the blood that stains her as she kneels in the pool surrounding him, nor the danger of his undefeated foe who cackles from above, admiring their work. Their beautiful masterpiece of pain and blood.

“Don't go,” Sam sobs. Danny looks up at her with pain-glazed eyes. Unable to speak through the thick bile filling his punctured lungs, he slowly reaches up a blood-stained hand to brush her tears from her eyes. His hand leaves a crimson trail across her face before slipping downwards, losing the fight to gravity as the last of Danny's strength leaves him. As the light from his sapphire eyes fades away, still gazing into the amethyst depths of his wife's, Clockwork echoes aloud the unspoken thoughts in Danny Fenton's head, “I wish I could look into those eyes forever...”

A Time Ghost is born.

So, here this is finally. A short plot idea whose origins will now be narrated:
So one of my muses says, "Hey, what would be even more insane and paradoxial than tavalya_ra's crackverse Tempus? Answer: Danny being Clockwork!" And so it began... X_x
As I was writing that, another muse came along and said, "Konbanwa, Kororo-dono! What are you doing up at such an insane hour? Well, anyways, this idea came to me. You know how it seems all the Clockwork origin fics have him as a clockmaker? Well there are other ways to become obsessed with time..." “I wish I could look into those eyes forever...”
And thereforth the plot bunnies were breeded, and thus my sanity was lost.

More coming btw. Not much more, but at the rate this ch took, it'll probably come next month... X__X;
*sigh* I know what I want to write/do, I just can't get it down. And it doesn't help that every time my muses actually get off their drunk asses or whatever they're doing, I myself am interrupted.

And grammatical help is much appreciated if you wish to point out any mistakes.

Uwaaaa!!!

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:00:58 GMT

I woke up, went downstairs for breakfast, and look out the window and see 18 squirrels outside eating seed. Yup, I counted. Anyways, I eat my kix, and go the the sink to put my bowl in... The yard is completely empty, and a hawk swoops down over it!!! uwaaaaaaaaa!!!!! awesomeness!!
I like squirrels, but hey, a hawk gotta eat. Though it didn't get anyone, I don't think. I didn't see anything in it's talons in the brief moment I saw it.
Well, I noticed that the squirrels were up on the tree trunks, and it took about a half a minute to get them down for more food. XD
They're still a little spazzy though, and I think they've commissioned a crow for security duty, eheh. Seriously. While I was watching them come back down to flayrah, he flew over and landed in a tree and was yelling what seemed to be along the lines of "Get the hell outta here, he's comin' back for his breakfast!!" and flew off. Corvines are awesome. X3

It's official... People are idiots.

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 03:49:06 GMT

Got this article link from VG Cats, a webcomic I read. Bush and the media are all turning us into paranoid, mindless little morons like them. Good lord, words cannot express the sheer stupidity of this all. Suddenly the dodos from Ice Age come to mind for some reason...

Sheep, humanity is all a bunch of sheep....
But I'm a cat. nyaaaao. =^,^=

*sigh* Decided not to go to the concert... it's been a looooong day at work and tomorrow will be the same.... nyeh. *snore*
