NaeNae's Super Long-Ass MomoCon 2007 Report
MomoCon was, of course, the fecking BEST, even
if Sunday, the 2nd and last day did not end on the
best of notes.
This will most likely, especially knowing me, be a
very long post with looooots of pictures, so, be
warned, people!! XD
Day 1!
Shanna's mom is meeeean! She really is! Shanna
agrees! She got us there very late... We missed the
opening ceremony!
And along the way there, they kept making stops, like
at a Target and would take their time! Shanna's mom's
justification for it was always, "So? What are you going
to do there? Just walk around. What's so fun about that?
You aren't missing anything important."
Theeeeen, we had to keep convincing her to let Shanna
change into my fluffy, black lolita skirt, because our group
dress theme was "Punk-Lolita-Diru-Bitches", lol.
We asked to let her change in the Target bathroom, but
her mom said, "No. We have to stop by your grandmother's;
you can change there."
Them, they dedcided they'd SKIP the trip to her grandmother's
and we had to go to a Wal-Mart not ONLY for her to change,
but her mom kept bitching that her ass would show without
shorts and stockings.
Stockings were too small, but I had red knee socks for her.
The whole drive was so long and boring I wanted to cry. We
took a nap and watched videos on her laptop to help the time
pass quicker.
We decided to revenge by annoying her mom by playing and
singing Super Junior T's "Rock On!!!" several times. XDD
Sam and Meme were already at MomoCon... and lost.
Those morons took the bags they give you at the doors that
have MAPS of all the places and times and put it in their car!
When we finally drove up to the Tech Center, I called them on
my cellphone and said, "Get ready to look for us!"
They said they weren't there anymore! They left to go get some-
thing to eat.... GAH! The food center, which had fucking McDonalds,
and Subway and places to buy Japanese food and whatever you
could think of was THERE at the Center! >_<
I kept calling them to hurry their arses back as Shanna and I walked
around. We went to the sell room and HOMG! There was a Asian man
in a giant, white Lolita dress (with the back tucked into his long, khaki
pants XD) working a Jrock booth!!!
And they were blasting Jrock! And so appropiate for AYA's birthday,
he was mostly playing Psycho le Cemu! We kept recognizing songs
they were playing and singing and dancing along. XD
He had so much great stuff! Cure, SHOXX and other Jrock magazines
from the most recent to some from way back in the early 90s! He had
Jpop and Jrock CDs from Dir en grey, AnCafe, Laerine, Morning Musume,
Utada Hikaru, ...basically, you name it. XD
He also had pictures of all sizes, Jrock yaoi doushinji... omg, I spent
the most of my money at his booth. XD One girl smiled and put her
chin on my shoulder, "What did you buy?"
I showed her the hide picture and AnCafe CD she went, "Oooh! I
LOVE AnCafe! I have a whole collection of their stuff!"
I laughed and said, "Yes, I couldn't resist!"
OMG! We ran into so many lolita! Shanna and I had talked about
what we thought thie big cosplay this year would be... We said
most likely a lot of Bleach and some Naruto...
Well, there was, but OMFG there were so many damn Gothic
Lolitas, Lolitas and Jrock-looking people! O_O
I had carried my coffin-purse with me and at least 3 girls came
up to me and smiled and said, "Nice purse!" and held up the
exact same purse... The third time, one girl's friend yelled, "Fuck
damn! How many people have those damn purses!" XD
I got a lot of love from these type of people. ^^ They kept giving
me hugs and telling me my outfit was cute... This one very short
woman really liked me.
She gave my a hug when I was at the Jrock plushie Stubby stand
and said, "I love your skirts... And shirt and all of it, so, I am going
to hug you and you must hug me back." XD
And later that night, I was crouched like InuYasha/piss-squat,
against the wall outside the bathroom, waiting for Meme and
Shanna to come out and she walked by and saw me and laughed,
"WOW, I haven't seen anyone sit like that in a long time!"
And gave me another hug and talked to us some, lol.
We were downstairs when Meme and Sam finally walked in through
the front doors and Sam fucking ATTACKED! XD She glomped me
so hard, I almost toppled over backwards, LOL!
And Sam was wearing flamming, fuzzy kitty ears and a leash! XD
...She gave the leash to me. BAD idea! XD
I was dragging her everywhere, but she's heavier than me, so, when
I would run foward, I would jerk to a stop and one foot would fly in the
air as I skipped backwards. XD And I would keep doing this over and
over while screaming, "KILL THE KITTY!!!"
At one point, when we were heading towards the food area and I yelled
this, some guy cheered, "Yes! Kill the kitty!"
I laughed and cheered, "Yay!"
Sam went, "Nooo! DON'T kill the kitty!!" XDD
When we went in the food area, Meme found Roth, the Asian guy
she met at the Dir en grey concert who she invited. I didn't give a
flying shit... I was thirsty, so, I was on the floor, LITERALLY, pull-
ing and tugging at Sam's leash screaming, "Come on kitty! Fuck
dammit, come ON, kitty, I'm thirsty!"
When we came back with our shit, we sat with Roth and his two
friends, some black guy and an Asian guy with a hat, ponytail
and glasses.
I was very hyper and I'm always an out-there loudmouth and I
wasn't afraid to totally be myself, especially when surrounded
by my fellow otaku! I actually fit in and THEY stood out! XD
His friends were... Grr! They kept calling the convention lame
and gay and asking what we were doing at such a stupid
event. I yelled, "We are Otaku! Driving out here from far off
places and dressing as such is true dedication and love! We
are here to meet our fellow family and have fun, YOU are the
losers for being at an event you hate!" lol.
And we found out the Asian dude's name was Jimmy when
we mentioned out Korean exchange student's name offhand
and he was like, "How do you know my name? o.O"
...I think that dude was trying to hit on me, too. xP
He kept mainly talking to me and when I was ready to leave
he was saying to me stuff like, "Are those your real eyes or
contacts? You have very nice teeth." o__O
But, they were asking Meme all these questions... The first
being "Are you REALLY 18!?" and all kinda of things since
her and Roth were too shy to talk to each other.
I even jerked her head and held it in place when they told her
to look into his eyes... because I love to toture her, lol.
But I was getting very bored. I wanted to go back to the con!
I was trying to embarrass Meme a few last times as we were
leaving... We joked how she was blushing over Roth.
I kept running around and yelling, "SHE LIKES YOU!"
Then, his friends wanted her to come back, so, I took her
arm and dragged her to them. I got bored of waiting, again.
Shanna was like, "Aww, they made them hug."
I yelled, "KISS HIM!!" XD cause everytime she'd blush and
yell at me to shut up.... But this is when my first pissed
off moodswing began.
His friends made them walk off together to talk. I got mad.
FIRST, she had the NERVE to invite him there, when Shanna
and I invited Meme and Sam to hang out with US and this be
a FRIENDS day! And NOW, she readily ditched us and ran off
with him!?
I don't give a flying FUCK if a guy is Asian or hot, you never
ditch your fucking friends for a guy! D<
Only Shanna stuck with me. Sam ran off with her boyfriend
who drove them both up there. I was pissed the whole time.
I kept saying, "That's fucked-up! You don't ditch your friends
for a guy and they are both cruel to do this to US two! Meme
has had tons of boyfriends, and NOW, she will be the first to
have some shitty cute Asian boyfriend and Sam runs off with
her's with neither you nor I have had a boyfriend AT ALL."
And we both swore that we'd never ditch our friends, not
even for a hot Asian guy. I was just really mad at her. We
passed her going down the stairs, she was still with him and
they were going up... I gave her a dirty look and flicked her off.
A while later, she was standing with him right infront of us,
looking over the stair rail, while we were RIGHT THERE, sitting
against the wall... A few seconds later I saw her at the cross of the
stairs with him and his friends... I was so angry she ignored us
and seemed to pretend these people were her friends and not us,
I yelled aloud for all to hear:
"HOPE YOU'RE HAVING FUN WITH YOUR NEW FRIENDS,
TRAITOR!!"
Shanna covered her ears and bent over, embarrassed, but I didn't
give a damn. I grabbed my bags and stormed back off into the
sells room and Shanna followed.
This went on for quite awhile. But we ignored them and tried to
not let her ruin our fun and did our own thing, took pics, got
hugs and shit... Though, I couldn't help from saying, "What the
hell was the pointing of inviting them to join us if they won't even
hang with us and ditch us...? Its back to just you and me, like our
first year..."
We walked down the stairs and this black boy stepped away from
his group of friends and said, "Excuse me, but may I get a hug from
you two lovely ladies?"
We saw him at the end of the day saying he needed this certain
amount of free hugs or he couldn't get home... We were sitting on
the steps, he saw us and gave us more hugs. His friends yelled,
"You hugged them already! That doesn't count!" XD
Shanna and I both in our minds wondered if he would hug a dude...
Sure enough, when he went to hug this super cute cat girl decked
all in white, he gave her male cat boy friend all in black a hug, too! ^^
I smiled, feeling better and we gave him hugs. I commented that
this was why they were my family. These people treated us more
like real friends than our so-called friends.
And why do Gaara cosplayers love me so much!!?? XD
Last year, I was attacked glomped by a hyper, chibi Gaara and my
only warning was I heard a loud "NARUTO" shriek and then my
waist was glomped.
This year, I didn't even have my Gaara-red hair, but I was sitting on
the floor, Shanna had went to exchange her Gaara keyring when
3 female Gaara cosplayers came up to me and said,
"You look so cute, may we please hug you!?"
The third one complained how she was hugged all day, despite
not wanting hugs, so, I spared her. XD I asked Shanna, "Why
do Gaaras like me!? You're the Gaara fangirl, yet they attack me!"
She said they want my Gaara-blue eyes. XD
There was a lot of confussion as to where the Costume Contest
this year was being held! We were all running around lost, asking
each other where to go, lol.
See, last year, it was held in the auditorium, but this year, so they
wouldn't have to cut-off and lock some people out do to fire hazard
safety rules, they held it outside... where we froze our arses off. XD
We chose good seats, too! XD 2nd row, surrounded by all the
smart-asses, LOL! I made the decision to be "nice" (kinda) and
call Meme to tell her it was outside.
You can even hear me on the camera say, "Even though we hate
you and your a traitor, I'm calling to tell you the contest is out-
side, bye." XDD
I did call her back to help her find the place... I was trying to
describe it and say, "There's a giant, metal pointy thingy..."
and though I wanted to say penis, I didn't, BUT...!! There was
a guy besides Shanna that said:
"Penis. Just say it. tell her its a giant penis."
We were laughing so hard and I said, "Okay! Its a giant,
twirling, metal..."
The guy behind us was also like, "Phalis!"
I laughed, "Metal, twirling penis!" XD
She eventually found us and came and sat beside us,
LUCKILY with no Roth or his friends there. Thank God.
I tapped the whole show, it was so much fun! Otaku
are great people, man, with the greatest sense of
humor. XD
We'd cheer for the girls in skimpy outfits and call them
brave ladies... They would also be warmed up by fellow
cosplayers while inline and when they went to sit down, lol.
There was a Shawn of the Dead guy there with a giant sign
beside us with LOTS of enthusiasm, and he'd stand and
cheer wildly. x3
We'd see one L with shoes and all yell, "He's cheating!!
He has shoes on! He's not even stepping on the backs!"
Then, another L with no shoes would come and we'd yell,
"Yay! This one has no shoes! Wooo!!" XD
I at one point looked over at Meme and laughed, "You have
no idea who half these people are, huh?" XD
She kinda new to anime. I got her hooked on Naruto and
Bleach... She's inlove with Kon from Bleach, lol. She even
bought a Kon plushie there, lol.
She laughed and shook her head, "But I recognize some!"
I joked that the Cosplay Catwalk was like a fashion
runway for Otaku. x3
Afterwords, we were all on good terms, again. Sam had to
leave, because she wasn't feeling well and needed to go
back to their hotel for meds and a shower... But she came
back right at the end of the contest when they were ready
to announce winners.
We were all happy and dandy until... We ran into the man
in the lolita dress who runs the Jrock booth and we all
laughed and talked, until...
For some reason, even unknown to Meme, he took a real
liking to her and they began to talk like we weren't really
there... I JOKED, hey, let's pretend to walk off and see if
she notices... When she didn't seem to care, nor did Sam,
nor did this dude shut up, I walked off, annoyed with it all.
Only Shanna ran after me, yelling, "hide! hide, wait! hide!!"
I stormed outside and walked to some steps and sat on
one right above where someone wrote "Penis" in blue
chalk. Shanna followed and stayed with me the entire time.
I wanted to cry, upset that the entire time I sat out there,
the other two didn't even seem to give a damn and come
fine me... Yet Shanna stayed. Even when I would keep
telling her, "Go back inside before you get cold. You might
as well go in, I'm not going back."
She'd shake her head and say, "No! I'm not leaving you by
yourself. I never leave my friends!"
After a long while, I decided that I didn't want this day ruined
and I didn't want her to stay in the cold any longer, so, I grabbed
by bags and walked back in as she followed. I told her to walk
and go whereever, I'd follow. She went back to check and look
for them... of course, they were gone.
We walked around more, took pics, got more hugs...
I finally called Meme and I cussed her out some. Told her
she was really fucked up and being a shitty friend, blah-blah...
Shanna and I went and sat against a wall upstairs... We were
highly entertained when a group of girls started to walk around
the room forming a Conga line and random people like a Sailor
Moon would join in. XD
I texted Sam and said if either of them really gave a shit
about us, we were upstairs... Just when I was about to give
up hope on them, they showed. I'll leave the rest of our bullshit
out, but in the end, we all did make-up. Meme and I hugged
and apologized.
Late that night, Sam started to feel bad again and couldn't
breath... It was right after Meme and I finished cussing each
other out when I noticed her hunched over and forgot Meme
and asked her if she was ok.
We went outside and sat on the stairs, but it got so bad,
Shanna stayed with her and Meme and I ran to get her
boyfriend from his car. They left. Meme hugged me and
kissed the top of my head, apologizing one last time
saying she was really sorry and that she really loved me.
I found a sticky note that said "Souls R Tasty ^__^" and
kept it. XD
Shanna and I stayed. Around 8 was Karoke, but no one,
again, could find it... though, it was held in the same place,
lol, but was funny was we ran into a Rock Lee and asked
him where was everyone outside running to, was it Kaoroke.
He said, "I don't know... But I can do this!" and made one
eyeglass with his fingers over his eye. It was very funny,
but not helpful. XD
We ran into this Die cosplayer we took pictures of
earlier and he stopped us and pointed to my shirt,
"Did y'all go to their show here in Atlanta!?" we said
yeah and he gave us hi-fives... We got lots of hi-fives from
Diru fans, lol.
Like, we ran into two black girls... One asked. "Did I
take your pictures?" and while we were posing, her friend
asked, "What are y'all suppose to be?"
I said, "We're just Dir en grey fans."
She said, "Woo! I get hi-fives from y'all, right!?" XD
We found the Karoke and sat in the back on the floor.
The first up was a very cute Asian guy with long hair
to his shoulders and shagged in his face.
He sang this song in Japanese and at first it sounded
very beautiful... Then he would scream so off-key, so horrid
yet hysterical, every fucking time I would fall to the floor
laughing, holding on to the bar of a door. XDD
Next... OMFG! There was this punk chick BUTCHERING
Dir en grey's "Clever Sleazoid". XDD
...We moved closer to tape her. XD
She screamed the whole time and seemed to not know
all the lyrics... Her group was screaming loud for her,
I was screaming and laughing... XD
The next guy was a tall black guy in a long, black
velvet dress. He said he was going to sing a Utada
Hikaru song and asked us to fogive him if he butchered it.
When it started, we couldn't hear him and were all like,
'is he really singing?', so, the people working the music
turned the music down and... he was lip-synching.
He looked up and went, "Wait. Why did the music go
down!? Turn it back up, I'm not really singing, I don't
know the lyrics!!" we all clapped, laughed and cheered. XD
The next girl was very good, but boring and the movie
"Geekin'", a movie about the life and love affairs of these
RPG players, in the theater room was starting, so, we
went to see that instead.
The man at the door smiled, "You here for the movie?
This way." and opened the doors... inside, the movie
had already begun, it was dark and crowded, so, we s
stood against the back wall.
The movie was really good! XD But sadly, we didn't get
to see the end, since Shanna's mom made us leave. xP
When we got back to our hotel, we hooked up her laptop
and watched the DVDs we bought of last year's MomoCon.
They had this hilarious "My Little Transformers" clip and
we saw some shots of the back of our heads! XD
During the contest, you can hear me scream, especially
when I yelled, "DIR EN GREY!" for the Kyo cosplayer. XD
That day, I had also bought a Ryuk from Death Note plushie,
a medium hide picture, an AnCafe CD, a red and black plaid
lolita bonnet and the DVD of MomoCon, the costume part.
Then, we went to sleep. ^^
DAY 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, not as many people, only there to
really just take pictures and buy stuff... The
only event is the Tea Ceremony at midnight.
I wore my same outfit, Shanna changed into her
TRIPP girl's pants and new MomoCon shirt,
because her mom wouldn't wear her oufit twice.
I called Meme up, they were already there and
said they were upfront and wouldn't move.
She also said, "I don't know who he is, but its
either a Kyo or Miyavi cosplayer!" we FREAKED!
We saw him downstairs and RAN for him... He
was there with the Die from yesterday, haha!
We asked for his picture and Shanna went,
"THAT'S THE SAME KYO FROM LAST YEAR!
I recognize his eyes anywhere!"
I looked back... Yes, same face, same perfect
Kyo slouch. It was! It was our Kyo stalker from
last year!!! XD <33 He's a great Kyo. ^^
Die ended up in the background, LMAO!!
Meme was wearing her lolita skirts, but also a
"GLOMP ME" shirt and all day people kept asking
if they could hug her.
I would laugh, "That's what her shirt says!"
One girl said, "I'd glomp her for real, but I'm afraid
she would break." XD
I then proceeded to pick up Meme bridal style and
carry her around... I put her ontop of a trashcan, too. x3
OMFG! They told us they saw a Hard Gay-san!
I almost pissed myself! XDDDDD
Cody even joked about me seeing a Hard Gay
and I said, "As if. I wish!"
But we stalked him down! XD
We found him in the Sell Room! I was like,
"May I hug you, please!? I love Hard Gay-san!" XD
I got to pictures... He gave us a butt-shot, too. x3
And my hug! x3
Meme asked to glomp him, too and jumped in his
arms... I died laughing, because her knee went
right into the poor guy's crotch. XD
OMFG YAOI!!!!! XDD
An L and Raito were really kissing when asked to
pose for pictures and the place ERRUPTED with
loud fangirl screams. XD
This one group was freaking out like crazy and
saying, "This is SO going on YouTube!" then,
the L ran up to one of the fangirls and gave her
a quick kiss on the lips. She turned bright red. x3
Her friends were squealing and she ran outside
saying she needed air, she was hot, now. XDDD
We had fun, but they left early, because Sam and
her boyfriend wanted to go to an underground mall
and see a car show. xP
I was like, "You would leave THIS for a car show!?"
Meme didn't really want to leave, but because they
were her ride, she had to. :(
So, Shanna and I just ran around taking pictures,
getting more hugs... OMG, best thing!
We saw this guy in a cardboard box with kitty
ears and a rubber mouse in his mouth. His friend
was beside him yelling, "Pet the kitty! Come and
pet the kitty and get a free hug... or kiss!" XD
Later, the box was torn so it could hold the guy
and now, two girls. Friend still yelling the same
thing. The black girl in the black and gold Chinese
dress was SO cute, and tossing the mouse about!
We went and petted all 3, lol.
THEN, later, they had migrated upstairs and now,
there were 5 kitties! XD I looked at the guy and
said, "Wow, you migrated and multiplied! You
need to neutor your kitties!"
Some Goth Lolitas we ran into yeaterday even went,
"Wow, you migrated!"
I laughed, "And multiplied!"
She laughed, "So I see!" x3
They were all so cute and constantly mewed, "Nyah~!"
but got lots of pets... Kittie ears equal instant free pets, lol.
I walked by them awhile later and one of them was
attacking a person's arm and I yelled, "Those kitties
are violent! No one wants to pet them!" XD
We had asked a MisaMisa for her and her L's picture,
but the L had ran off and she said, "Sorry, he said no!"
I laughed, "That's okay! There are TONS of Ls here!!"
but then came and said, "Kidding, just come over here."
But they began singing "If were gay, that's be okay...!"
and we just walked away, but later she found us and
apologized and said their handcuffs broke.
We decided she was forgiven, but we didn't like her L. XD
We went back to the Jrock booth and I decided to
make amends with my personal spite towards the
Asian man in the lolita dress. XD
Sam will be so pissed, haha! She asked for a pic with
us with him earlier, but I said I didn't like him. XD
We went over there and got our pictures taken with
him... He friggin' gripped my waist, lol.
Sadly, some jerk-off ran off with one of his CDs!
But he yelled for security and they caught the idiot as
we were leaving his booth.
We also bought Dir en grey yaoi doushinji from him! ^o^
Shanna found a hot, NC-17 of her favorite pairing,
Die x Toshiya, but those were the only ones that
listed the pairings!
So, I bounght one I recognized that someone
posted half of Kyo x Toshiya... The rest was
Toshiya x Toshiya, lol. And I also bought this
cute, funny one. Its so cute! ^-^
And I was SO fucking happy in both that
Kyo didn't look like a damn girly-ass uke. -__-
What I HATE in Diru doushinji is Kyo is always
made too small, too girly, skinny and so
sumbmissivly uke. xP
Yesterday, some guys were yelling, "BOYCOTT YAOI!"
Today, some dude was doing that and I kepy yelling
back, "HELL NO!" XDD
Funny part, there were A LOT of guys in yaoi shirts...
A lot more than there were girls. XD
We were having fun until... Everyone was walking
out front. We didn't know why, but followed. A crew
member told us to all go in the back for a meeting.
They gathered us out there, but we were all confused
as to why. They finally got us all gathered and looked
so mad... They said, "We have a bad situation!"
Some guy in the back yelled, "We ran out of Pocky!"
We all laughed until we noticed the Momo crew wasn't.
I tapped this, but they proceeded to tell us that because
some fucking retarded assholes shot some fireworks in
the parking lot and thought it'd be funny to bring them
inside, but were caught, for our safety, the convention
had to be shut down, no one was allowed back inside
excpet for booth workers to grab their stuff. Not even the
college students who go there could go in.
But, we all cheered and clapped, someone yelled,
"YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!" and a girl yelled,
"WE LOVE YOU!" and we cheered louder to let
them know we were not mad at them and understood
and were proud they were taking care of us.
We were only pissed at the morons who did this.
All you could hear was people saying, "If we find
out who did this, they're dead!"
I yelled out, "NAME THE FUCKTARDS WHO DID
THIS! WE SHALL KICK THEIR ASSES! ANY COSPLAYERS
WITH BIG SWORDS, BEAT THE SHIT OUT
OF THESE PEOPLE!!"
It was so sad. Everyone was depressed.
For some people, this was their first day. We tried to
keep our spirtits up. We still took pictures of people...
though, it was sad to take pictures of people when
we were all so down, lol.
Man, and if the college kids didn't hate us before! XD
We sat beside 3 college students that went their
that were calling us losers. I just said to Shanna,
"They can fuck off. People think we're weird, but
we are the nicest, most accepting people on earth."
Which is also why we think no real otaku did this.
We all continued to tell the crew they did the right
thing and when one vender came out, some guys
said, "He is the greatest fucking vender ever!" and
they helped venders who boxes were falling...
I was like, no true Otaku would be so mean. We
are a loving group.
Our hostesss who runs these, I call her Megaphone-chan,
she is so great to give us these for free, to run these with
the money out of her own pocket and trust us so well...
for some idiot to ruin it was horrible.
We know she'll never make us pay to get in, since she
created MomoCon for the cheap fans, and we know
she'd never hurt the real fans... but we hope this doesn't
cause her to have to make extreme changes.
We hope just checking us before we enter, at the most.
But, we love you dearly Momo Crew! Thank you for
holding MomoCon every year for us Otaku and for free!
And thank you for taking care of us! You did a good thing
and we are all proud! We're sorry some idiots fucked it up!!
The way home, we stopped by a Burger King... The guy
at the cash register was an anime fan. XD
He looked at Shanna's Itachi headband and said, "I've
never seen that one; who's that one?" and talked to us
about anime. XD
We watched Arashi's movie Pika*Nichi until the laptop
battery died and around 9 something they dropped me off. ^^
I'll load some pics I have, I'll try to load up videos another
time, okay!? ^^V
Shanna (Miyavi), Me/NaeNae (hide), Meme (Yoshiki) and
Sam (Shinya) on first day. ^_^V
I take long shots so you can see outfits! ^_^
Shanna, Meme and Sam.
Me with the man (yes, man) who ran the jrock booth!
He has such a tight grip on my side! XD
Look at all the awesome shit behind us!
This picture simply does this lovely lady no justice,
because I believe she was truly one of the cutest
lolitas there.
There were lots of Lolita, but oh, my!
Look at that person't hair behind her! XD
When I asked for his picture, I found he spoke very
poor English and he asked us how he should pose.
But standing was just fine; he still made quite a nice
picture. ^^
An original dark fairy cosplayer
A Sasuke cosplayer holding up a SasuNaru yaoi
picture. A girl yelled, "That was the best 15$ I ever
spent!" and another asked, "What, the yaoi or the
Sasuke?" XD
I had to run down the stairs to catch these two
cuties, but it was worth it. ^^
I also had to chase her; she couldn't hear
me first ask her picture, because she had
Mp3 headphones in, lol. But isn't she a doll?
Argh, it blurred, but its a Bou and Miku from
AnCafe! Shanna recognized them, lol.
A very lovely Lucas from Gundam SEED.
When I asked her pic and she opened
her umbrella, she stated, "I call that my
hiding-the-background-pose." lol.
There were actually quite a few Lucas!
My favorite was one we passed as someone
asked her if she was from Princess Peach and
she snapped, "Uh, no. Lucas." XD
What a cute Chii from Chobits!
...And no, I could not resist pointing out the
Naruto ninja behind her. XD
Fuck yeah! An Ichigo and Rukia from
Bleach cosplay! FTW! <3
Some bunny babes, lol. We found two earlier
but said they take group pictures and asked
us to find them later. We later spotted them all
in their group and when the one in brown ears
saw us, even she was like, "Oh! Yeah!! We're
all together, now!" lol
They told us they had some website... Chachala
.com...? The Brown-eared one even got really
close to me and repeated it, but neither Shanna
nor I remember it. XD
3 super cute gothic lolita girls!
I loved the one on the floor's outfit best. ^^
Poor girl! Just as we asked for her picture,
the winds started to blow really strong!
Goths, kitties and lolis, oh my!
Just before we asked their picture, they
were all pulling at the cat boy on the floor's
chain leash as he was all tangled in it, it was
quite an amusing scene. XD
The pretty chick on the far right end was one
of the girls that came up to me having the
same coffin purse as mine, lol.
Blurred, but HOMG Pink Sasuke! XDDD
Lol, he was fighting Link and after he was
done doing that, I asked for his picture, because
Sam is such a huge InuYasha fan and I LOVE
the bitch-slap mark on his face, LOL!!
I haaaaaaad to get a shot of this little Asian Nazi! XD
Some guy sitting on the wall beside him asked me if
this was for 4chan, LOL!
Female Kakashi I spotted in the sell room on the
2nd day... How fecking beautiful and cute is she!?
Shanna was inlove with this sexy cat boy... I just
kept thinking how much his hair reminded me of
Gackt. XD
Oh, FECK, yes!! Its a Gravitation group! Woo!
I already took a picture of the Ryuichi inside,
but when I saw her with the Shuichi and Suguru
I HAD to get a group shot!!
I fecking LOOOOVE Ryuichi Sakuma from
Gravitation, ESPECIALLY when he dresses
as Kumagoro, his bunny! Infact, that is what
my very first MyOtaku icon was of! XD
I squealed and hopped around when I saw
her. Sam said she was amazed I didn't
glomp her, LOL!
Hard Gay-san, WOO~! 8D
Hahaha, oh, my God, this was just too
great and EVERYtime I saw him that
day, I would yell out "Woo~!" XDD
The gracious butt-shot! XD
I'll be honest, I don't know who he was, but
all we had left to do was take pictures and
I thought he looked pretty cool, lol.
Haha, our hostess, who I love to call "Mega-
phone-chan" with her kitty-slave-bitch. XD
This was the introduction for the Costume
Contest. :3
A shot of a few of the contestants starting
to line-up.
Yet another shot of them lining-up. Its like a
fashion runway for Otaku ...or a Miss Beauty
Pagent for Otaku. XD
Just everyone waiting for the Costume Contest
to begin.
Shanna and I freezing at the Costume Contest! lol
The White Neko Girl and Black Neko Boy~!
The girl was soooo cute! All day long she
pranced and mewed, "Nyah~!"
These two were very sweet! They were
trying to leave and were getting ready to
leave after a picture already when I asked
them for one, but they graciously posed
for me~ I love the female Raito and L is so
cute!
My personal favorite L in a halo and holding a
sign that says "PWNED :(" and if you are a
Death Note fan or have gotten that far, you
understand the joke. x3
She also had on wings, but they are so hard
to see.
She was holding up a sign for free hugs so I
went up and asked for a free hug and picture, lol.
This Duo was with a Lucas and they were so ADD
that their friend had to tell them, "Hey! Bad time to
get ADD when someone is asking for your picture!"
Lol, but I looooved her sign, which is what I saw
when they stood beside us at the table, lol.
How rare! A Mello and Matt from Death Note!
Aww, the Matt was so cute, because when I
asked for both of them, she said, "Wow, someone
actually wants me in the pic, too!"
I told her, "Of course! I must have both Mello AND Matt!"
Mr. K from Gravitation! The crazy American! I love him!
This girl was also Mr. K last year, but with a big Gravi.
group and in a different outfit, lol.
One of the best Sakura from Naruto's I have ever
seen and without doubt the best one there. She
walked by us when we were sitting on the floor and
I knew it was a Sakura, but when I glanced up and
saw how good she was, I quickly jumped up after her, lol.
We felt so bad for these two! They were in really
great Hellsing cosplay, but we didn't see them
yesterday and they seemed to have just shown up
right as it was cancelled.
Shanna nearly pissed herself when she got
to hug Gaara, especially this one, because
she really liked his cosplay. ^^
This guy got glomped by fangirls all day. XD
The magical multiplying kitties! XD
It started as one guy in a box, then two girls
joined in and last we found them upstairs with
5 kitties. XD They were very cute, though, lol
and we petted the 3, lol.
(The 3 we petted were the black girl and the
guy and girl on each side of her).
This little Hinata was so cute and what a clever
idea to keep track of her lil' brother! Dress him
up as Kiba and put him on a leash... which proved
useful, as he kept running and dragging her around. XD
I'm actually not at all a fan of The Avatar on Nick, but
both Shanna and I do like the character Toff, this tough
little blind girl and this cosplayer was so cute!
How cute are they!?
Look! The hide and Miyavi drawings are beside
each other, yay!! (Shanna and I call ourselves
hide and Miyavi, lol) And yes, I did squeal aloud
and slide to the table when i saw hide. x3
Sam pissed when she finds a sign that has stolen
her nickname "White Wolf". XD
Everyone gathered as its announced for us all
to go to the Rain Center for an ememrgency
meeting.
This Yuna tries to sell her metal keyblade for 70$ while
we wait for the crew to show up and make their announcment.
Lol, someone offered to pay 5$ for it, another guy said he'd pay
for someone to find his apartment keys. XD
As we boredly wait to find out why we were
called to the Rain center for a emergency
meeting, this brave Yuna cosplayer did some
poses on the spiral.
She was requested for so many pictures up
there, she should of just stayed, lol, because
everytime she climbed down, she had to go
right back up, lol.
Yuna was not the only one who took advantage
of the spiral for poses while waiting for the crew
to make their announcement.
This was just too cute.
As we were waiting, we spotted a darling
female Naruto and a Sasuke couple that
I was trying to get a snap of from far away.
I just thought the girl walking along was quite
cute and this made for a nice shot.
Everyone leaving after it is announced
MomoCon has been cancelled for our
safety after some douchebags were
caught with fireworks.
We actually saw them before the announcement
began, everyone in our area did. The guy behind
us was saying, "That pairing would never work. He'd
kill her with his sand." lol.
But actually, I find this pairing oddly cute and I like
them, not to mention these two were simply adorable!
I love this shot of them~~
Female!Mario helping Female!Luigi brush
a spider off her leg, lol. I saw them as we
were leaving and heard the Mario squeal
about a spider and couldn't resist, lol.
After we chased down a Gaara and Hinata
couple, I saw him as we were leaving and
asked for his shot, which he was happy to
give. Can't pass up an Ichigo!
Snapped a picture of this Haku from Naruto
as we were all exiting after it was announced
the con was cancelled.
Proof that we Otaku are not bad, after the con was
cancelled, the venders moved their stuff out, but kept
dropping boxes. This Otaku helps out.
That tall, black ninja, when this Asian man who runs
one of the best booths came out, put his arm around
him and yelled, "BEST VENDER EVER!!" and they tried
to get a picture of him, but he just smiled embarrassedly
and hid his face with his hoodie, aww~! x3
Believe it or not, I will have MORE pics to show whenever
my friends send me what they have.
Shanna and I already have an idea set-up for next year
of what our cosplay will be, but shh~! We can't tell you! ^^
NAENAE'S VIDEO CLIP PICK!:
I'll see when and how many videos from
MomoCon I can load up at a time. ^^
Hey, I *DID* catch something at the Diru concert! =D
...A cold. XD
Its not surprising, I mean, we did stand in the cold
for like an hour and 30 minutes or longer, then went
inside and got really hot and sweaty, went outside
in our damp cloths in the freezing cold, got into a
warm car, then guzzled cold lemonades, lol. XD
Duh, no wonder I'm sick, but I still wouldn't
change a single thing. Never. It was worth
it all.
I'm worse than before. Now, no matter whether I
breathe through nose or mouth, my throat weezes
and rattles. I coughed so hard on the bus I nearly
gagged.
But unlike most people, I push on and continue to
go to school and so forth. That's why I respected
Mrs. Mendheim. She came to school, even when
she looked ready to die. She said no one could do
her job for her... They fucked up, anyway, lol.
Because the world doesn't give pity and you shouldn't
ask for it either.
I left for the bus stop at 7:20 instead of 7:30, because
our new bus driver is a 'tard and came so early yesterday
almost everyone missed the bus.
So, while I had the extra time, I stood at my stop and
listened to some Diru. The rest of "Ryoujoku no Ame",
where I stopped it yesterday and "FILTH" which I added
this morning.
Waah! Crimson-Rose and I were so close at the concert
and didn't even know it! XD ...I also got spit on by Kyo and
didn't know it, lol.
Probably a good thing. I might have fainted. XD I saw Die spit
water on us, and I got hit by Kaoru's water he slung, but the lights
blinded me, so, I didn't see Kyo, I know I felt three splashes of
water... Everyone on that side of the stage I have found online has
been the ones telling me Kyo spat on us, lol. Thanks guys, lol.
I did keep my promise and think of all of you who couldn't be
there and yelled extra loud for you all! Ask any of my friends,
I'm as hoarse as Macy Gray, lol.
Haha, cute. The Hill family on King of the Hill are in Japan and
Bobby found a little Japanese school girl his age that likes to
play Dance Dance Revolution with him, lol.
Wow, so many of you were in Atlanta at the Diru show at the Roxy!
Would have been funny if we all met up, lol.
TigerFantasy17, I *still* can't believe it happened, lol. I may never
be able to, lol.
I remember when Shanna and I went to bed, I was in so much pain,
she said, "Dream that Die is kissing your body~!" lol, but... I had no
dreans that night... Because I had already lived it.
Akira Hiwatari, YOU SHOULDA BEEN DOWN THERE WITH US
ALL, LOL! XD
Mercedes said people up there weren't true fans, lol, mostly because
the ones we could see up front looked so bored... and that's where all
the parents sat. XD
I don't care how brutal it was nor how short I could be, I'd always choose
down there, because it was such a great expirence and amazing to be
so close, even if my view was at times obscured, lol.
Man, I bet y'all were amused by us! XD No, our legs weren't turning to
Jell-O, it was just when ever someone shoved, it pushed us all and we'd
fall on each other, lol.
Yes, yes, yes, I swear to Kyo it said "RAPE ME"! XD I was laughing and
screaming for it so hard, lol! He should be careful! I know there were a
lot of fangirls (and boys) who would have gladly taken up the offer!
...Me included! XD
Glad to hear that you had a great time, too~! ^^v
Oh, Momo, lol, you probably would have, lol. I told all my friends right
before they came out when Kyo stepped out I was probably gonna
stand in shock and wet myself. XDD
Wish you could have gone, too. Would have been nice to have
known such a huge fan was there showing their support, but I did
my best to scream for ya! x3
My Algebra teacher I swear says "Mm'kay" more than Mr. Mackey
from South Park. She says it after EVERY sentence and everytime
she does, all I can think of is South Park. o_O
And about me being upset in math... I don't want to, I really don't,
because its so foolish and I know a lot of people have a hard
time with it, but... Its different for me.
I was really just fustrated. Which... You would be, too, if you failed
math EVERY year since first grade and went through the hell I had
to go through with math.
I'm not just BAD at math, I am horrid. I make straight Fs and had
teachers almost on the verge of tears, because they don't know
how to help.
Oh, and I may have found one problem...
I may actually have Adult ADD/ADHD.
I talked to mom about it. She said she always belived I had it
as a child, but wheneve I was tested, they said I didn't, which
is why I looked up info on *adult* ADD/ADHD.
I took this thing online about Adult ADD/ADHD and let's just say
I was overly qualified. >.>;;
Mom said if she knew how to get me tested again, she would.
I was just happy she believed me. I don't want pity and I wouldn't
take medication... I just want people to understand and be patient
with me, is all.
I know this is my problem. I know it is.
Remember that commercial for Adult ADD with the woman at a
business meeting and she can't concentrate and the compare
it to a TV in your head you can't turn off?
That was the first time in my life I felt I had an answer to what was
wrong with me, because that's exactly how I felt.
During first block, we had two assemblies. One for Juniors/Seniors,
the other with Freshmen/Sophomore. Though I'm a Senior, I went
with my class, which are mostly all Freshmen/Sophmore.
The Freshmen and Sophmores are morons. Seriously.
The assembly was a bunch of students asking the students their
opinion on what they wanted changed, like teacher's teaching
styles, that would help them learn better.
Some dipshit grabbed the mic and said, "Teachers need to leave
us alone!"
I felt sorry for the girl wasting her breath on them, yelling, "If they
left you alone, you'd all fail! They need to pay us more attention!"
and they booed her and the assembly was cancelled due to the
fact that the students were acting like immature brats.
This is why our school is full of dumbass motherfuckers. -__-;;
In Algebra, I was falling asleep with my arm and elbow propping
me up, but slid and my head WHAMMED against the wall hard, lol.
That woke my ass up! XD ...Okay, not really, lol.
All day, all I wanted was to go to Art, listen to my music, draw
and go hoooome. Art class is sanctuary, lol.
I listened to Dir en grey and hide the whole time. I listened to
a live version of "The Final" and it made me smile, remembering
the concert, and when the fans sang, I pictured the crowd I was in, lol.
Remembering Kyo watching us, smirking as we yelled the lyrics,
the band watching us, oh, man... Those songs will never be the
same... It'll be better. ^^
Britany's cell phone is SuperMan. o.O
She has dropped it so many damn times, and today someone
THREW it, yet all that happened was the back, front and keys
came loose, yet it still worked! That's a damn good phone! XD
Skittle told me a serious secret at lunch Monday and told me to
tell no one. I can't say what, since friends from school read my
sites, but... I don't know whether to hug her or slap her! ><
I finally got to see DevilMan, the movie with the Izaki twins of
Jpop boy band, FLAME, Yusuke and Hisato, lol.
I watched it at Shanna's the day after the concert. Lol, Hisato
can't even fake scream. XD Yusuke was Satan and she said
she wanted to go to church and tell everyone Satan is a hot
Japanese boy, lol.
Also watched some bits from Arashi's drama (Maaah, Aiba is
so cute and I STILL can't look at Nino without thinking of Stand
UP!! XD).
The "We want Kyo's penis" that started off all the grafiti. XD
Person on LJ's JROCKHUMOR that posted it on my post
also informed me it was by a girl named "Regan" (after the
Exorcist") who was their comic relife at the front of the line, lol.
Thanks people at JrockHumor! XD This is the girl, Regan, who
drew the very graffiti before her, hahaha. She rocks! XD <3
Someone also told me a Chinese girl infront of them was the
one who drew the doodle making fun of how American Dir en
grey fans look, lol.
Here be me in my Diru shirt. I wore this to school Monday. ^^v
NAENAE'S VIDEO CLIP PICK!:
Ahh, yes! I knew one of those little law breakers at the concert would
post their sneaked video footage from our concert! XDD
Here's a short 55 second clip of the exact show I was at... Forgive the
shakiness (We WERE being tossed like rag dolls! XD) but it also gives
you a feel of how it felt to be there personally, LOL!!
BEST DAY OF MY FUCKING LIFE! (long post)
Dir en grey concert at the Roxy in Atlanta, GA.
I'm still dreaming. It can't be real.
I'm still in disbelife.
My heart is still racing and only now do the
tears come foward, staring at my Dir en grey
wallpaper and realizing I actually got to see
these gods in the flesh...
I really saw them, for real, yet, it still seems
surreal, like a dream I have yet to wake from.
The entire time felt like we were living a dream,
as though we'd wake up any second to find we
had been daydreaming while watching one of their
music videos.
The only thing that keeps reminding me it's real is
the pain. Every muscle in body is still sore... Legs,
throat, neck, back... though it is the greatest pain ever!
The trip there, I rode with Shanna, while Sam and Meme
rode together in a seperate car, but we talked to each other
via cell phones.
Shanna and I went to the mall first and of course stopped by
the Hot Topic and I was SO happy to find they had the issue
of Cure with AnCafe's Miku on the cover! ^o^
It even had a thing in there about Diru's American tours! XD
Then, after a short visit at Shanna's grandmother's, we were
on our way! When we arrived... Oh, me fucking Kyo, man!!
First person we see is this awsome chick with purple, pink
and black hair, in a red plaid outfit with red fur, fishnet, Kyo
pins, safety pins and a picture of Dir en grey pinned to her
skirt and a cheetah patten scarf.
We were like, "Yep, this is the place!" XD
And best part...! We stood behind that very chick! She was
so damn fucking awsome! Her name was Mercedes, age 16,
she's mixed with black, white and hispanic, but was so pale,
no one ever guesses that! XD She was so fucking cute, we all
glomped her! XD
We told her we loved her look and we just all started talking
and never shut up the entire time. XD
She's a Kyo and a Shinya fan, so, her and I would have random
Kyo-fangirl moments! XD We all would squeal or scream and
Merecedes said, "I think the people behind and infront of us want
to kill us." XD
The people behind us were talking about how God masturbated
and the world was created. o.O;; XD
She said she drove 6 hours from Kentucy that morning to be
there! We told her it took us 3 hours, that we where from Alabama.
Shanna and I were there first and we talked with Mercedes, her aunt,
and her friend, who wasn't a Diru fan, but she dressed her up and
dragged her along, anyway! XD
There were people from Japan taking pictures of us! We said
how awsome it would be to open a Cure and see Mercede's! XD
We laughed when everyone behind us was screaming and hollering
at the camera and Mercedes muttered, "They're taking pictures, not
recording, you jackasses." XD
And oh, yeah, she ended up parking beside their tour bus!!! She
also is a TRAX fan, was sad when XMas and Rose changed their
look and when Rose left and she knows about Ayumi Hamasaki
and kept saying she also badly wants to go to a D'espairRay concert! ^o^
Her and I have both been to indie band concerts, but never a REAL
band, so for both of us this was our first REAL concert! Diru broke
our concert cherry! XD
I kept calling Meme and Sam, but omfg, Meme always has to
fucking yell in a high pitch, country voice at 90 miles an hour,
so, I kept hanging up. xP
I was telling them, "Find us!" Merecede's said, "Tell them to
look for pink and purple hair." XD
They finally found us and also found a friend, lol. Her name was
Stephanie: Pretty average; long, dark hair in a ponytail, a Dir
en grey shirt and blue jeans, but cool.
Shanna doesn't like her, because she told her the band's name
is pronouced "Deer" not "Dur" ...Um, Japanese and American
pronuciations are different, so, they are both correct. Dur. ;P
I liked her, we'd both make smartass/funny comments and
end up laughing on each others' shoulders, lol.
We would jump up and down to keep warm, and the entire time
I had Dir en grey's "Umbrella" stuck in my head, so, I'd sing it
and it helped with bouncing. XD
Mercede's aunt and friend left to go get milkshakes, but she
refused to leave and stayed with us, claiming that no way in
hell was she leaving that damn line! XD
The people infront of us had lit a bunch of stuff and started a
mini-bon fire, lol. We all huddled together, but the guy with us
was like, "What about me!?"
Mercedes said, "You're wearing grey, not black."
He said, "Yeah, but... Its... Dir en... *grey*..."
Even he realized how lame that joke was. XD
There would be random waves of screams for no reason to the
front and back and we had no idea why, lol. We screamed every
time we moved a step closer. XD Or just got excited. XDD
We'd start chants of "Dir en grey!" and "Let us in!" and we could
HEAR the bands warming up inside! It was such a tease, especially
since we still had an hour and 30 minutes to wait! XD
We'd look at how the line grew so long that it wrapped around in the
parking lot and laughed at the girls in lolita... Uh, hello. Die and Kyo
even said they HATED lolita.
We agreed Gothic Lolita is awsome... Just not at a Diru concert.
Mecedes would point to people at the end of the line and proclaim
that they were not REAL fans! XD
And we saw this woman with this HUGE afro and Mercedes wanted
to bounce on it, I said we'd probably lose her, lol.
Sam found two people she met on MySpace, a black girl with the
coolest fucking messy, spikey red mohawk and her girlfriend, a
white girl with one half of her hair in lilac braids and the other half
spikey and blonde.
They had people signing their asses, lol. They wore neon-green
felt skirts for people to sign. x3 They were great looking. ;D
Two members of one of the opening bands, Bleed the Dream, were
outside... at first I thought they were just fans in line, then they gave
us free stuff, like stickers and guitar picks. XD
Poor guys! They looked so intimidated and must of felt stupid out there,
because they were like, "Hey, we are one of the opening bands... We
know you aren't here to see us, but have some free stuff." x3
We were all standing infront of these parking spaces and they kept
having to part the line so people could park, but at one point, we all
squished foward, screaming, "We aren't moving back, hell no!" XD
We said that this should be a Religious holiday, that this was Mecca
to us, and our little group agreed that we were all now family, sisters!
When the doors opened, we all cheered, our group all held onto each
other, so we wouldn't lose anyone. I was holding onto Stephanie, who
was holding Mercedes and I joked that we should all use our chains
and hook ourselves together. XD
Omg, some people got fucking BORED and wrote the funniest shit on the
walls between The Roxy and the building beside it. XD
Things like:
"We want Kyo's penis!"
"Kyo needs his penis! D:"
Doodles of what Dir en grey fans looked like, doodle of Diru, just shit
we were all dorky enough to cheer for as we passed it. XD
Shanna got a picture of the "Kyo needs his penis! D:", but because
her dad was rushing her, that's all she got. Still funny. XD
(Omg, the grafitti becoming legendary, especially on JROCKHUMOR. XD)
When we walked in the door, we all threw our fists up and cheered
for the poster of Diru outside, lol. There was this table full of cheap
Diru merchandise outside, Shanna stopped, but I grabbed her arm
and said later, we wanted a good view and had to catch up with
Mercedes and Stephanie, who ran ahead.
The first band to open was Bleed the Dream, and even though out-
side we had joked how funny it would be if no one did anything but
stand there, they had us all jumping up and down!
They weren't half bad, I kinda liked them. They had a great sense
of humor and not a big ego to realize who we were there for, really,
lol. The vocalist screamed, "HOW THE FUCK ARE YA, ATLANTA!?"
Then he asked, "DO YOU WANT TO SEE DIR EN GREY!?" and
AHH! Loudest scream of all, even he laughed. XD
But as good as they were, you could tell the audience was distracted,
because we were all turned to the right, staring up to this yellow-tinted
window on the side of the stage. XD
Why? Because people kept popping up in it! LOL!
Everytime we saw a head, we swore it was someone in Dir en grey, so
the audience would scream, lol. Each time I saw the window shade go
up, I tapped Mercedes on the shoulder and pointed up, which also got
Stephanie's attention.
Someone was like, "That might not even be them."
And we were all like, "We don't care!" XD
I saw a short person bounce to see, and I leaned over to Mercede's and
said, "It was a short person bouncing to see, it might have been Kyo!"
and we both laughed, squealed like fangirls and bounced. XDD
The second band... Fair to Midland... SUCKED. Seriously.
It was so funny, though, the second they came out on stage, the enire
crowd yelled, "Dir en grey!" and they walked offstage! XDD
They were so damn fucking boring it was painful. The crowd just
stood there looking completely dead and lifeless. All they got was
a lot of "You suck, get off stage!", people demanding for Dir en grey
and even a few people flipping them off. XD
We were falling asleep from boredom of them. Mercedes even rested
her head on my shoulder and I patted her head sympathetically, lol.
BUT! We did find amusement in the vocalist! XDD
Omg, he was jumping around like he was having a seizure! I kept
yelling, "Call 911! He's having a spazz attack!"
Mercedes later said, "I think you're right; he needs medication."
I pointed to the shirtless, pale, ugly, skinny guitarist with the
nastiest white guy-afro ever and asked, "What does he need to take!?"
And the vocalist had two bald spots that we kept laughing hysterically
at! XD I laughed so hard even one of the guitarist stared at me like wtf!? XD
They were so lame, only the guy in the grey jacket with us liked them.
Then again, he was a pothead.
He was WAY to into them, jamming like whoa...
He said, "They were awsome! I hated the first band, they were too
Panic!At the Disco and 30 Seconds to Mars!"
Even Mercedes mom told him, "I'm sorry, but the first band was
good, but that second band SUCKED. Girls are always right." XD
Stephanie said she was going to yell out that Kyo was kawaii.
Mercedes said, "And when he jumps off the stage to attack you, I'm
going to step aside."
We both said we'd point her out, lol. Stephanie held Mercedes's hands
and said, "Just remember I died happily and with Kyo ontop of me!" XDD
Mercedes's friend asked her and I such a funny question:
"Will there be yelling?" XD
We were like, "Mmm... Maybe just a bit." XDDD
She said she was going to exit the crowd early once the moshing
and shoving began.
Then... OMFG, the slow tease of drawing Diru out, finally!
Mercedes excitment kicked in and she grabbed both my hands and
we just stood there, clucthing each others hands, hearts ready to jump
out of our chests.
We knew that when they would come out, all Hell would break
loose, but it would be GREAT! XD We both had to pee from the
start but had said our love would keep us strong and it would
also make all the pain to come worth it!! XDD
They pulled the black sheet off of Shinya's drumset and like dorks, the
entire crowd cheered for this empty drumset! XD
And making fun of ourselves, we all started yelling, "That is the sexiest
drumset ever!" XDD And mentioned how Shinya's was bigger than the
ones the other drummers used. XD
Mercedes told me all she wanted was to see Shinya.
They brought out Toshiya's bass and Shanna FLIPPED. Like, "OhmyGod!
That's Toshiya's bass! That's his bass!!" and also flipped out over Die's
mic stand, with all its red guitar picks.
And some people yelled at an Asian roadie, "TAKE IT OFF!" XD
It seemed like centuries watching the crew set up and watching the
screen in the back flash the name of the tour. The crowd would randomly
start to chant the band's name, ending with loud screams.
This was also when the waves began. People swaying so heavily that if
you don't brace yourself, you can fall and be stepped on.
We all put our arms up, Mercedes warned everyone that if they
weren't always braced that it would be dangerous and we all made
a pact that if someone fell, we'd help them up.
The crowd behind me shoved me hard, Sam pressed against me,
I was trying with all my might not to press against Mercedes, remembering
how her aunt said she couldn't be compressed and she forgot
her inhaler. So, I tried to keep all bodies off her as best as possible.
We let two very short girls infront of us, to our side, where we
gathered a group of short people, like Meme, so they could
see.
Shanna and I even started a chant by ourselves!!
It was quiet and I looked over at her and whispered the chant, she
joined in, then, our friends joined in, we got louder and louder until
everyone in the palce was chanting! It was great!!
Then, the lights darkened... The stage lights lit up and that pulsing
music you hear at the beginning of every concert that sounds like
screams of "Kyo, Kyo, Kyo!" began, the crowd all pumping their
fists and chanting along!
Finally, Shinya appeared, the crowd went wild, fangirls screamed
how "kawaii" he was. Then, one by one, they all walked out...
Die, Toshiya, dorky Kaoru, throwing his arms up, demanding more
yells, which he got!! XD
Then... AH! KYO!! OMFG, I-- I couldn't believe my eyes! He was
so gorgeous and really there but for the life of me I couldn't believe
it was actually him... or any of them!!
The waves began to rock REALLY hard, to the point where we were
falling over, like dominos, but we'd fall on each other and push back
up. Mercedes, who had been at my side, instantly disappeared in
a flash as the wave pushed me foward.
I looked around and we were all lost in the crowd. At one point, Meme
was pushed up to me, but the next second was lost in the crowd, again.
I remember that before we lost each other, Mercedes had told me it
is better to stand sideways, so, that when the crowd does a wave, you
can squeeze yourself through people to the front and you aren't
so squished.
So, I turned on my side, arms braced, though one arm always in the air.
I was eventually pushed farther and father foward.
I had a GREAT view of Kyo, but especially Die!
Omg, he was so close, I could see his eyes, count every pick on his
mic stand... Shanna was the only one who managed to stay near me.
She'd be behind me, then end up beside me.
It was so hot, my body was soaked in sweat, my cloths damp, my hair
clinging to my face and dripping of sweat.
I was pressed so tightly between people... My boobs were being squished
by shoulders on each side, a guy was holding my shoulders and the back
of my shirt, I was being pressed into some short girl's ass...
At one point, this very short Asian boy was infront of me and the crowd
shoved foward... He was already being pressed into this tall white guy
infront of us and to keep from squishing the poor dear, I held one hand on
his back, while pushing the guy infront of us back, pushing him foward,
trying to give space between us for the kid.
I also ended up with his overly sprayed hair in my mouth. x.O
The only person that got on my nerves was this one punk that jumped
like a rabbit jacked up on crack when NO ONE else was jumping.
He stepped all on me, was jumping all on and infront of me and when
he stopped, he'd lean back on me. I'd push him away and every time
he came back, I just pushed myself infront of him.
We were all meshed as one... Literally. I was pressed from front to back,
side to side so tightly that it was had to breath, hard to even move my arms.
My elbow was resting on the guy's shoulder behind me, I had people resting
on me... The black girl beside me was reaching to Kyo and grabbed my wrist.
She didn't do anything but hold my wrist.
We were packed so tightly that one girl had to be pulled out of the crowd
by one of the security men and several people were squeezing out,
because they couldn't breath.
But I was so into the moment, none of us cared.
When Kyo raised both hands, I did the same, singing along. Sometimes
I would scream, scream at the top of my lungs... Other times, I just
stared, not even believeing with my own eyes this was real.
It looked like a video! Like all the lives I watched and dreamed at being at!
They were so perfect, so beautiful... so... amazing!
And Die... Oh, sweet Jesus... I was only three people away from him!
People I tried desperatly to shove pass!
I never imagined this luck! To be so close up front! I always thought best
I'd ever get was seeing them from a back row, hardly able to make them
out! But no!
I climbed ontop of the people infront of me, screaming, my arms in the
air, desperate to catch his attention, then... He looked my way, I smiled.
He smiled!
I. Fucking. DIED! He looked at me and smiled and no matter what
anyone tells me, they can NEVER take that moment away from me!
The whole night, I'd catch his gaze, wishing so desperatly to just
reach closer, but the people wouldn't budge! >.< (Can't blame 'em).
And Kyo... UGH! He took his shirt off during the first song, girls
screamed bloody murder as he revealed his flawless, beautiful
body... and showing us all his Clavin Klein underwear peeking
at the top of his jeans! XD
One dude infront of me, in a leopard print shirt, had his arm rested
on his head, making it hard for me to see Kyo! I was pissed and
kept shoving pass him! XD NO ONE BLOCKS MY VIEW OF KYO!
I screamed Kyo's name whenever it was quiet, or even loud (Meme
says they think they heard me in the back XD), I sang with him with
all my heart... I joined the people around me, as we all headbanged
along with Die until our heads were in danger of falling off.
He was so sexy! Rubbing his nipples, pretending to cut himself,
rubbing his crotch, WHICH, by the way, I did NOT miss the
perfect opportunity to stare at his marvelous buldging crotch that
is so infamous... and yes, he really has a big buldge! XD
He smirked whenever we sang, even in Japanese. Someone
pointed out that the Japanese guys in the audience was
laughing at everyone screaming in random Japanese. XD
When they played "CLEVER SLEAZOID" Kyo only sang like
the chorus, the rest of the time, he stood there, smiling out
at us as we shouted the lyrics proudly.
He even did this thing, where he hooked one side of his mouth,
then flicked saliva at us, then the other side, then both! XD
The song set list was a blur... I know they played Clever Sleazoid,
Obscure (with the screen flashing images from the video, like the
zombie geisha's boob XD), The Final and Ryoujoku no Ame.
Shanna and I got our wish. They played older songs and Kyo didn't
scream that much! He even got emotional, did that thing when the
lights lower and all you see is a gold light on him and he makes
crying-singing sounds... It was beautiful.
Kaoru was a total dork! That made my LIFE, man!!! XD
He came onto the edge of the stage on our side, did his signature
lip pout and motioned his hands like, "Come on, baby, show me
the love!" XD
We were all crowding to that side of the stage, screaming, I was on
people's backs reaching out to him, screaming my heart out, lol.
Toshiya even gave his "hur hur" laugh-smile (I think they were all
laughing at us XD) and at one point, I was REAALLY close to Die
and the front of his stage, but then Die threw his water bottle and
the entire crowd fell right, trying to grab it, and I was pushed back,
yet held my spot as others tried to push me back further.
They threw water on us, I got hit by Die and Kaoru's water! It was
SUCH a relife, I was dying in that heat. I could just feel cool air
run over my finger tips when I held my hand up.
Kyo... GREATEST FUCKING MOMENT EVER!
He grabbed a black bucket, poured all the water over himself,
then put the bucket on his head and in white letters it read:
"RAPE ME" XDDD!
YES GLADLY, BABY! LMAO!!
I sadly didn't catch any picks, water bottles or drumsticks and we
were all PISSED at this one crew man! He took all the picks off
Die's stand and instead of THROWING them out to us, he
HANDED them to some people on the front row!
Shanna's dad, who was up in the top, sitting balcony kept
CALLING her, while we are squished like damn sardines!!
What was hilarious as fuck, though, was she lost her pig
phone keyring and was yelling on her phone, "I LOST MY
PIG!" and EVERYONE around us was turned staring at
her like 'WTF!?' XD
I said, "Shanna... Hang up the phone." XD
Oh, and we got no footage or pictures, because they said
no cameras allowed... Even though some people still tried, lol.
And PLEASE, if you go with a boyfriend or girlfriend, don't
do like these moron couples and CUDDLE! Its a fucking
rock concert!
There were guys hugging their girls from behind, even as we
were being packed together. I wanted to hit them.
But... That show was already more than I could have ever asked
for. I never even expected THAT much!
When we all piled away, none of us really wanting to. I tried to
find Mercedes, or at least someone from our group, but with
no luck. :(
I at least wanted to say bye to her, ask her if she got to see
Shinya like she wanted... At most, I wanted to keep in
contact with her, because she was just so damn cool.
We saw the guy with the grey jacket, again. My hair dye
had dripped onto my shirt and he pointed at it, gawking,
thinking I had got hurt and was bleeding. He sighed with
relife when I said it was my hair, lol.
Only injury visible I have is a bruise on my upper arm. ^^
I called Meme's phone, trying to find her and Sam,
especially since she had my hoodie tied to her waist, but yet
again, she was yelling in her high picth voice, in such a country
accent I couldn't understand a damn word she was saying and hung up.
Got outside, two guys from Bleed the Dream were standing on chairs
and tables, still passing out free stuff. Shanna's dad was pushing us
to leave so quickly that we didn't get to buy anything and the
offficer wouldn't let people outside go back in. :(
But, we saw Sam and Meme outside and Sam handed me a
Dir en grey t-shirt she bought and said, "Merry late Christmas."
I SCREAMED and glomped her!! XD
They said that both of them got shoved to the back of the crowd,
Sam mostly because she was crazy enough to wear SANDALS
and kept getting her toes killed.
They said they only SAW Mercedes leave. Damn. >__<
All the ride home, all Shanna and I did was talk about the
concert, how sexy Kyo was and mostly... How fucking cute
Die's smile was! XD
Her dad said Kyo was a crybaby, but I was defensive! XD
He handed us ice cold lemonades and I downed mine before
we even got away from the Roxy, lol.
Our group of Diru Sisters! ^o^
From left to right:
The blonde is Mercedes's friend, the girl with purple/pink hair is
Mercedes, Stephanie beside her, Meme, Sam, the black girl
upfront is Shanna and the redhead in center is ME, ALICIA! XD
Here's Mercedes by herself, so that you get a good
look at her kickass outfit.
HEY! If you are Mercedes or know her, contact us, at least
tell us how the show went for ya! XD And if you ever go to
a D'espairsRay concert down South, tell us, we might
go, too and might fina ya, LOL!
Here's some bored fanart graffiti. XDD <3
The one beside it said, "We want Kyo's penis!" XD
This be me as we drive to Atlanta to see DIRU!!!!
This be Shanna, with Miku-chan in the middle! XD
RULES/TIPS FOR PEOPLE GOING TO SEE DIR EN GREY:
* BE PREPARED FOR IMPACT! This is not a joke, when
Dir en grey comes out, find a steady stance and brace your
arms at your chest. If you do not, when the crowd begins to
shove, you can fall and possibly be stepped on, being
seriously injured or killed.
It happens at a lot of rock concerts, so be tough or get out.
* If you find it where you can not breath or feel as though your
insides are crushing, don't be afraid to shove your way out.
* CARRY A WATER BOTTLE! With so many bodies so closely
packed together, it gets hot VERY FAST and you will need water
not only to drink, but to pour on yourself.
* NO COSPLAY OR HEAVY CLOTHS/COSTUME! I know it sounds
cute to go in this cool costume or cosplay, but like I said, it gets
HOT and your costume will be in shit pices and your make up will
look like crap. Best bet is a t-shirt and pants.
Oh, and ladies, be carfeul with skirts, for obvious reasons.
* NO CUDDLING! Its a rock concert, stop loving up on your damn
beau, or go to the back and do so. You're annoying.
* BE NICE TO SHORT PEOPLE! Just what it says... If someone is
so short they can't see, do something to help your fellow fan.
Typhoon (born Jay Kim), the lead vocals of rock band The Trax,
will undergo surgery on his vocal cords. An official at SM Entertainment
Agency, which represents the band, said, �Typhoon will receive surgery in
the beginning of February to treat an intracordal cyst.� He added, �Following
the doctor�s orders, Typhoon will need about 4 months to recover and rest.
After his break he will make his comeback with new songs.�

YES! I finally get to see Dir en grey LIVE! ^o^
WAAH! ^o^ *jumps all over the damn place* I HAVE TICKETS FOR DIR EN GREY'S CONCERT IN ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so fucking happy! I could die, I could cry...! All that shit that rhymes!!! Omg, I finally get to see them! And with Miyavi-chan!! Shanna (Miyavi-chan) and I were walking to the bus area and she said, "I ordered my tickets last night."
I wailed and clung to her arm, because I didn't! I was screaming, "Nyaaaaah! Noooo! Don't go without meeee!!!"
I found this girl I'm kinda friends with at the bus area, asked to use her cellphone and called my mom like, "Mom! Hi, I'm at school and remember that link I sent you yeah Shanna has her's and I need mine and they're selling fast and I got money...!"
Anyway, I said it all at 90 miles an hour, with Miyavi-chan laughing at me. XD She said, "Okay, I'll order tonight."
No! NOW! When Miyavi-chan left, I clung to Belinda's arm and wailed more and in this horribly high, only-dogs-can-hear voice I was crying, "I must see Dir en grey! I must see my gods! I must see Kyo and Toshiya and Die and Kaoru and Shinya... I will kill everyone in this school to see them. I will kill you. I MUUUUST see them!" XD
Belinda cracked up when I used word play one something she said about Die and me dying and I went, "Yes! I will die if I don't see Die!" x3
On the bus, the entire ride I just kept chanting "Dir en grey" and telling the bus driver to go faster, that I didn't care if she had to run over people. XD When I got off the bus, I RAN home! I tripped over myself running through the door, rushing to my room to grab my wallet. XD
I get to go, I get to go! I'm so excited! ...I think I tinkled. o.o YAY!!!!
Mom said, "They are print outs. I can print them out and you'll have them in a second."
All I kept saying was, "DUDE! ...Seriously!? DUDE!" XD and I fell on the floor and Mana attacked me. XDD
*is still dancing*
Sent link to Meme; hopefully she can find a way there, too!!! I'm going and staying with Shanna. Her mom is going to the concert with us. XDD OMG, this is the woman who at an anime convention looked around at everyone like we were all mental patients; imagine her at a Diru show!! XD
Meme said her mom will buy tickets... Now, question is where do we meet up with her??? XD
Thank you so much, PeachesXCream, for sending me that. I REALLY needed that laugh. :) Comments (0) |

Stupid Fans Upset Super Junior/ HeeChul Hospitalized
I know I said next update post would be videos (that post was made on MyOtaku, not LJ), but out of respect of the subject of this post, there will be no videos. I got this information from Shanna around 10 A.M. It concerns the Korean boy group, Super Junior:
"For some odd reason, fans decided to attend DongHae's fathers Funeral/Mourning ceremony.
First, before the funeral, fans text messaged Yesung (and I dont know how they got his number), but they text messaged him asking if they could go to DongHae's fathers funeral. Yesung got really annoyed and actually replyed to them saying that they couldn't. The fans decide to come anyway.
THEN at the funeral, while DongHae was CRYING his eyes out and hugging his father's picture, fans rudely began to start yelling and screaming for him, asking for an autograph
Later, after seeing this, EunHyuk and HeeChul became overly upset. They yelled to the fans that Super Junior doesn't need or want support from stupid/immature E.L.F fans.
Super Junior's Kim Hee Chul was involved in a car accident while returning from paying his condoloences to fellow member, Lee Dong Hae's father's funeral. On the morning of the 10th, Kim Hee Chul is being treated at a neighboring hospital after paying his condoloences to Dong Hae's dad's at his memorial service. It has been revealed that he had scratches/abraisons and such and it will take 12 weeks to fully recover.
One acquaitance says, "It seems we won't know the full details until we come up to Seoul and do more thorough tests. At the moment he will be arriving by 2pm at Seoul Sam Sung Medical Center"
And this is why people hate fangirls. Honestly, it surprises me not only how stupid people can be, but how damn rude, too. My heart and prayers go out to poor DongHae, and I pray that HeeChul recovers soon and well.
Hey, I *DID* catch something at the Diru concert! =D
BEST FUCKING DAY EVER! PERIOD. 
Thank you so much, PeachesXCream, for sending me that. I REALLY needed that laugh. :)
