yay today we get a picture post to take up even more space....aren't we lucky..lol ok quick thing from last post devilsadvocate: KA was AMAZING~! Like the tag line says: "You can see it, you can experience it, but you won't believe it" This trailer has a better explaination than I can provide. darkeangel: ...even though you might not see this, it would be awesome if you could make it down here ^^ kk so the big thing that happened this past weekend A-Kon woot woot. I did A-Kon TV again this year and was one of three volunteers, and here I thought I was going to get a lot of down time...although there wasn't really a lot to record this year so it was good that there weren't a lot of us and then also we didn't have to do main programming thank god since the Art Institute of Dallas took that over for us....but that means next year there will be even less down time and we will be having to work all year to come up with more original stuff to shoot. I had a lot of fun running around and doing like 3 jobs and enjoying the con as well. Saw Rocky Horror at the con XD that was one of the best performances I had seen in a while although the last time I saw it the actors looks wise were much better. I helped out my friend Chrislea a while at her table in artist alley....not as much as I thought I would have been able to but at least it was enough for her to get checked in and hit the dealers room for a while. Then Sunday afternoon I helped host the FUNiGIRLS party.....that was A LOT of fun although I still think some of the games and prizes could have been better. We did Engrish music triva, Janken Pyon, 20 questions and some random trivia...that wasn't all that hard but hey were are trying to give as many prizes as possible.....although I think they could have had more and some better prizes we had a lot of keychains and patchs and while those are always nice not everyone likes patches. I met a lot of cool people and hope to hear from them again. Now for the thing that will take up a lot of room....picture time~! Let's start off with the awesomly perveted badge I had....that I didn't notice had tentacle rape until the last day right before I went into my panel...lol: A-Kon TV FTW Here's what I got from the dealers room: Kyouya (Ouran High School Host Club) Ryuk (Death Note) Shigure (Furuba/Fruits Basket) and Nami (One Piece) Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu)...you squeeze it and Haruhi yells a line...I can't remember what this thing is called or what is says but you can find these also on J-List Mikuru and Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu)...I sense a stop motion gag coming Cast (Death Note) Death Note (do I really need to put this?) L (Death Note) it's a flashing keychain and is solar powered....it ROCKS ....I forget what the name for these kinds of hats are but I got it on Sunday for a steal $2 =O My Uber fan....$20 another steal in the dealers room [bottom] Moogle (Final Fantasy) and [top] Mikuru and Yuki (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) pins Not pictured are Volume 1 of Princess Princess, Volumes 2&3 of Loveless, a Cactaur plushie that I gave Rinoa, a Death Note clock like the one I have that I gave Chrislea and another Death Note shirt with Near and Mello that I gave my friend Usadari. You know this year I had $300 as compared to last year when I got $500 to spend although this year I got to eat well and last year I has also saved maybe a hundred for gas and food yet this year I came out with more stuff...although I got a nice amount of swag from FUNimation from helping host their FUNiGIRLS party which did help me in coming back with even more stuff this year. Here's all I got from FUNimation: This was the first thing I got and my laniyard(sp?) which was all I was expecting but then my captain pulled out a bunch of other stuff for me and I then decided FUNimation could have my soul again and again...lol Babbit (Kodocha) Babbit (Kodocha) Sayoran (Tsubasa) Spiral puzzle (Spiral) Kyo (Fruits Basket) Not pictured Volumes 2-4 of Yu Yu Hakusho the 2 disc 14 episodes per a volume sets XD So needless to say it is good to volunteer lol Last Anime Seen: Rumbling Hearts, cute high school anime...very predictable though That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

I know, I know I take forever between posts and then give you a wall of text....although last time I was feeling random....and not that talkative and left you with part 3 of my English Final, The Rules of Courtly Love as displayed....and broken in Ouran High School Host Club. Thanks for the comments on it....it was fun, these rules are still somewhat used but more often are broken than applied. K so let's see what has happened since last post.....I now have a DA account to call my own and fill with pics since now Textamerica says I don't have an account >< oh well DA has been keeping me amused these past few days, and I've become obsessed with beyondinfinity's cosplay I wish I could even take pictures that well. Had my birthday celebrated twice, first in Las Vegas...didn't really get to see much of Vegas sicne my parents didn't want me more than 50 ft away from them >< but had a lot of fun casino hopping and got to see Phantom of the Opera and KA while we were there. Then the following Saturday had a combined party with a friend of a friend who apparently has the exact same birthday as I do....I never knew anyone even with the same day let alone the same day and year. That was fun although I still have yet to get properly drunk. So far I've only gotten buzzed and that was in Vegas since I wasn't DD. For the last few weeks I've been trying to prepare for A-Kon and getting everything ready for the new season with my anime club. This summer we are watching: HunterXHunter (continuing it still) Uta~Kata Welcome to the NHK ( :heart: ) The Familiar of Zero Gantz and Busou Renkin As far as getting ready for A-Kon I've almost got everything together. I just got the official e-mail the other day from FUNimation that I'm 1st lieutenant in charge of their FUNiGIRLS party Sunday XD and then checked on the listing and my fixed version of Tamaki's Girl has been accepted and met the MRS...or was it MSR....whatever to be in the offical AMV contest....although since I don't really have any experience...or rather not any proof of winning any other competitions I'm in the beginner's competition which still makes me happy to be able to be in it....and then I'm going to be doing A-Kon TV again this year and I'm really really excited to go AN Cafe and MELL are going this year XD I can't wait XD RealmsCon planning is keeping me buried under a pilar as well....well I mean when I'm working on it and not doing Gaia...or while I'm doing Gaia....I forget how that works...lol...but it looks like we are getting someone new to handle security and he's going to help bring down a couple of more guests....which makes me grin even more than when we got confirmation for Illich (my favorite voice....just about EVER in anime) Here is our current guest list: MODELS -Elektra Knight COSPLAY GUESTS -Doppleganger Cosplay INDUSTRY GUESTS -Dead Texas -Demented Dragon ARTISTS -Hightower -James O'Barr -Larry Elmore -Stephanie Château -Amelie Belcher MUSICAL GUESTS -Lisa Furukawa -Akai Sky VOICE ACTORS -Chris Patton -Tiffany Grant -Samantha Harte -George Manley -Wendee Lee -Illich Guardiola Alright well now that I've wasted like half an hour of time...lol j/k it's only been like 5 minutes for you. I think I'll end things in the usual way.....LAS Last Anime Seen: Busou Renkin, I :heart: Papillon That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

Part 3 of My English Final Project

Monday, April 30, 2007

  

So replies to last post...yay I have replies~! Hikaru: Actually yes your PM was one of the factors that brought me around to finally updating again....I'm so bad about it I know. Darke: I don't know if I'll be hitting the Harley Davidson Cafe but I most defiantly am staying at the Imperial Hotel and in the very least hitting the Geisha bar there XD Yeah school has/had been really bringing me down but now all of it ends on May 3rd, I was lucky enough to get my Ethics final moved from the 4th to the 3rd the only even semi problem there is that I'll have to finish my paper and study hard a day earlier and be at A&M all day on the 3rd....and by all day I mean from 11AM to about 4PM, not bad at all if you ask me. We just finished all our regular series at anime club and we are getting ready for the summer season but first we have Finals Friday to get through and since we technically have an extra week we are doing a movie night this Friday and some of us are planning a trip to SIXX *the gay club in town* XD it's been so long since we've gone to SIXX I wonder if it's still more straight than gay or gone back to it's glory days....I kind of doubt that. Honestly the last time we did go I think my biggest qualm about it was that they had a new DJ who played music for a predominantly straight crowd meaning VERY VERY little if at all any techno T_T This past Friday was "Cowboy" one of my friend's birthday. To celebrate we all went over to Rinoa's house and had cake and played SC3 XD Button mashing FTW Sadly I hadn't had time or money to get him a proper gift so remembering that he likes Rurouni Kenshin I made him a copy of all the music and scans I have for it and gave him the first 12 episodes of Busou Renkin. He seems to be really happy about it ^^ Other things that happened this weekend......um.....well not much of anything really. Saturday I spent most of the day watching movies to see if they would hold up for our movie night at anime club and after the first two movies or so I decided I'd check out what was available in town....I was severely disappointed although that was mainly because when I did find a movie that looked really interesting I found out it was only 30 minutes long. Also there were two other titles I was debating over...or rather trying to remember which was which. Sunday I spent the first part of the day just kicking back playing cards and fishing on Gaia. Then I got down to work on some of my submissions for the Kyouya Ootori Faction contests that I had entered. This round the theme is "Mommy and Daddy Style" or KyouyaXTamaki. A fan girls dream I know. So I worked on doing a decent fic and trying to do some really good fan art since last time I did hand drawn and it came out really bad because I was trying to go with the title they actually used which was "The Scholarly Couple" although I pwned at the AMV contest that round. This round the only competition so far is still in the AMV contest which I need to get around to working on it.....ah finals and projects are just piling up this week....not to mention the A-Kon AMV deadline is Tuesday so if I want to enter Tamaki's Girl I better hurry up and tighten it already. Here is the fan art submission Mommy And Daddy Style Hosted By theOtaku.com. I might post a link to the fan fic later.....I'm just a bit embarrassed by it, it's the first somewhat semi-decent *not really perverted* thing I've written in ages and that's just because Chase *leader of the Faction and head of the contests* wants it to be at maximum PG-13. In other news today I was finally thinking of breaking down and starting up my own DA account. So I go through the joining pages, even read the TOS and guidelines before I submit all my information and I come to find out that my IP is banned WTF. I mean seriously how did that happen? So I guess I'll just continue to show TheO all my art skills....minus photography that is....those go to textamerica since TheO doesn't have a full photography section....only cosplay right now. Ok I've been up way too long now so I'm gonna try and get some rest. I hope ya'll have a good week ^_^ Last Anime Seen: Jin-Roh....if that was seriously the Japanese version of Little Red Riding Hood I don't think I'll ever read LRRH to my children. "Mother there is a cat saying I'm eating your flesh" That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

Long time no talk I know....almost a full month now. Not really a lot has happened since the last time. Oh we've finally booked the trip to Vegas for my birthday, yay......come to find out today that a few of my friends and their close friends are going up a few days after I come back.....T_T I'd much rather go with them even though I'm not all that close with that group rather than going with my parents any day!....plus it would be easier to go to some of the cooler shows than to go with my socially repressed parents. OH I almost completely forgot! At the end of last month I was working really hard on making an AMV....for a small little contest we had on the Kyouya Faction in Gaia....well out of two competitors I won 1st place....I think it's because the other submission had unintentional subs. I'm still thinking about tightening up the vid a bit and try my hand at entering it for A-Kon. If you would like to check out my new AMV Click Here. Just remember that YouTube downgrades the quality and sometimes messes with the syncing. Easter weekend was alright just mainly a big lunch but we did a little egg hunt in our den for my niece. It was so CUTE, when she found the final egg she started to hide all the rest of her eggs in that spot. Oh but the day before a few of my friends *that all moved in together* they had a house warming party.....which was really packed since we were planning to do an outdoor barbecue kinda thing but the weather was terrible that day so we ended up with like 50 people packed together in a living room and kitchen but it was also a lot of fun because we were all kinda forced to socialize.....and there was tons of Guitar Hero and Soul Calibur 3 to be played as well ^^ School has been bringing me down lately mainly my ethics class taking up so much of my free time because last Wednesday we were supposed to be doing our presentations...but our instructor went ahead, for the benefit for everyone, pushed back the presentations for this week. So I've been meeting with the girls in my group a few times each week. Last Anime Seen: Smash Hit! Pretty cool, fairly dirty.....it's about a producer of what she's trying to make the new hit show......even though she wants to do a detective series she has to do a sentai series. That's all for now.....See you on the otherside. In case you didn't read it last post: ZOMG not only do I have over 2000 hits XD As of today I'm an OTAKU LEGEND woot!

Somehow an entire week seems to have passed me by. Seriously my Spring Break completly passed me by before I even knew it I had to go back to school again T_T What did I do all Spring Break....well I slept and took care of my little 1&1/2 year old neice. Oh and the one day I didn't completly waste was Friday since I had planned a little shoujo slumber party at my house. A few people showed up, which is good....but everyone ended up leaving by 11:30 which was fine because I was crashing from all the babysitting. Also in that time I've been doing a lot of Gaia....a lot of Gaia. Yesterday I skipped out on my PolySci class....yeah I'm still technically registered in it but I did try to get out of it today but sadly and strangly I didn't have my ID on me /sigh. So yeah yesterday went to Barnes and Noble and read book 10 of Death Note since I just happend to be on the chapter that started book 10 woot.....now just to finally finish it. Ok I feel boring now so..... Last Anime Seen: Death Note.....I really don't care for the new songs although I love the animation for the opening....kinda weird huh? That's all for now.....See you on the otherside. EDIT: ZOMG not only do I have over 2000 hits XD As of today I'm an OTAKU LEGEND woot!

So I suprised when I logged in today. I had 6 PMs waiting in my box. I always have 1 from someone who tried PMing me back when MyO went down for a couple of days. The other 5 however were from TheO staff so I was really scared to see one of them say Notification of Deletion I was like WTF mate? The other four where Notifications of Modification, Modification my ass....they claimed to have moved 4 of my walls to the "appropriate category" yet these were some of my earlier walls and really I know all of my walls are in the correct categories EVEN the Ouran walls I moved since the addition of the the Ouran hub some of them weren't moved....anyway that didn't really bug me all that much but the Notification of Deletion was because one of my walls, ONE OF MY EARLY WALLS like back when I still was having to wait at least a week for the submission to be APPROVED got deleted because of some pixelation. Yeah I probably would have deleted once I made a better HQ version of it but come on TheO had APPROVED it in the first place. Other than that not much new stuff has happened with me.....um......OH found a little gem at Wal-Mart today, they had Mallrats for $4.88 WOOT so I bought that and Mystery Men and showed Mallrats to Shiori and her bf who neither had seen it before. Ok I feel boring now so..... Last Anime Seen: Kyou Kara Maou That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

So much for weekly posting, not too bad this time though. Not really much going on with me just going deeper into the ocean. I think I might end up dropping another class soon. Right now I'm only taking 3 technically 4 but I really haven't done much....or even really made it to my PolySci class in weeks. I think I might just try to pick it up again at a later point in time. On a side note though anime club seems to be going well not really a huge crowd these days but it is nice to see the core group I hang with there each week. Did the whole RealmsCon planning meeting yesterday found out we are getting Illich Guardiola!, Chris Patton, Tiffany Grant and George Manley for sure. We are still needing to hear back from a few but I'm really excited I'll be able to meet one of my favorite voices (not just his acting, his voice is great all alone)...yaaaaay for getting Chris to come down, and twice as many hip hip horrays for getting Tiffany and George to make it three for three. Well some semi good news just in my dad replaced the antenna to my car so I finally got my radio back. Tomorrow is by brother's birthday and we are supposed to go out to eat, and since I'm as always broke (especially since I just borrowed money to get Vol. 2 w/Artbox of Nerima Daikon Brothers) I'm making him a cake as his birthday present. ....well not much else to say so.... Last Anime Seen: Nerima Daikon Brothers. I absolutely love this series, it's a mix of Blues Brothers, Excel Saga and Lupin III. The dub is top notch as well. Verrry dirty, great music, hysterical comedy.....and did I mention it was dirty? That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

Sry for not posting all year....what can I say it's been interesting in all it's mundane glory. Let's see where to start well I guess I'll start on New Year's. Went to a party at my friends house and found out that I'm getting the rights to put the program for RealmsCon together back....yay. That night there was a lot of Guitar Hero playing and other people drinking, I had a sip of a buttery nipple but left it at only one sip since I was DD and usually don't drink at all. The next day my father wrecks his truck by driving into a mail box, three fences, and a jungle gym...apparently his breaks weren't working. He's perfectly fine it's just the truck was going to cost more than it was worth to repair it so they opted to scrap it instead. So for a while he had a rental car and then after about two weeks my family was down one car. Oh but it gets better, about three weeks ago he blows two gaskets (sp?) on MY car (I shared both my car and my mom's van to go to school and anime club) and that we finally got fixed and got it back monday *convienient to get it AFTER Ikkicon* and then Thursday night he messes up the ignition T_T I'm never letting my dad drive my car again. School.....well it's going, I'm trying to be more serious and focused.....ended up dropping one class already I hope I don't have to drop anymore. I've already missed a lot of days there in each of my classes for different reasons (health, lack of car, missing bus when said car doesn't come home in time, catching bus only to arrive late when car is still out, and then the horrible sleeping in late). So yeah last weekend I went up to Austin all alone for Ikkicon. For the longest time I had thought that it was a 2nd or 3rd year con before I went up there only to find out it was the 1st although they had been advertising it for like 2 years already. Two of my biggest complaints were dealing with the similar issue of one thing SPACE/PLANNING. The hotel it was at was tiny I mean it was 5 floors and still under construction not to mention that where they had most of the con (viewing rooms, game room, dealer's room and most of artist alley) was bottle necked just with those things in those positions but then you add people and it's nearly impossible to move freely...sometimes at all. Oh and there was the part of being promised crash space only to find out that 11pm Friday night after my shift had been over for like 5 hours after I had to spend all night convincing my mother to let me take the greyhound bus for 6 hours to get to Austin that the crash rooms they had promised us volunteers was still NOT available. That night my mom ended up contacting one of my distant cousins and I stayed at her place...which was nice not having to share a room with anyone....and that she fed me, yay for more money for the dealers room. The next night I ran into problems with the whole crash space issue again b/c by the time my shift was over no one was really heading over to the crash space which was at another hotel that I never found out where that was.....also no one would be coming back by 6 AM when my next shift was so I just ended up staying in the video room until about an hour or two before the last autograph session of the con. I got every VA that was there at Ikkicon to sign something for me...although Greg Ayres wasn't at that session but I had luckily gotten him to sign my Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok vol. 5 DVD cover the night before at the Nerima Daikon Brothers panel. Everyone else save Greg Ayres and Chris Patton (who I also got to sign my Loki DVD cover) I got them to sign my Death Note...lol. As far as stuff I bought I didn't really get a lot of stuff but I think I got some really cool stuff. I got two custom badges one with Tamaki and the other with Kyouya (Ouran Koukou Host Club) they had the other hosts as well but I didn't want to spend all that much just on badges. I got a Death Note clock (it's analog but really I...like most people bought it for the beautiful artwork...I got one of the last ones with Light and L XD), a moogle hat, a menchi hat, season 2 of Super GALS!, some marbles with anime characters in them *it was a dollar I didn't see the harm in it* and for working the con I got Loveless vol. 1 for free WOOT. I'm still debating over weather it was really worth it to go, although I think if I had even one friend go with me like they had promised I wouldn't have complained once. Oh yeah there I also saw a few new series/recent licenses nothing really OMG you have to see this, just ones that I had heard about that was semi interested in and didn't really care overly for....also they kind of ran the video room oddly for an anime convention in the sense that if the title was on DVD and was dubbed they showed the dub rather than doing dub only on NEW releases :/ I thought that was really weird but the head of that section was said it was because "This is an American con, we should promote the American industries" Anime club has been going fairly well last night we started semi late or rather we cut into more than half of our preshow (amv) time because my dad still had the car until like 4:30 and usually I'm there by that time in order to get everything uploaded in time....I got there at 5 T_T Oh yeah since I haven't been here all year T_T I still need to say what we are watching this semester. Well we are still doing HunterXHunter, and then we are also watching: Princess Tutu Good Witch of the West Tactics Black Cat Muteki Kanban Musume (or Noodle Fighter Miki) and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (since I took out the weekly sampler) Yeah I decided against doing a weekly sampler this semester since it was annoying to a lot of people to start up these great shows only to end it where we started with episode 1. Also it was somewhat time consuming on my part having to plan and find good GOOD anime that I think we would all be interested in and for the most part they had to be comedy since most of the crowd isn't into dark/angst.....or UBER shoujo either. Well that's pretty much been my year so far, sorry for not posting anything sooner....I've been terrible about doing much of anything on the internet these days but I promise I try my best to do weekly posting again....if not at least put up some fun videos and stuff for you to watch. Alright so let's go ahead and close this in the usual way.... Last Anime Seen: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (at club last night....yeah haven't watched anything since then...so bad) That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.

And in the shadows of cyberspace a sound could be heard.....

....and it says Merry day after Christmas! So yeah I've been horrible about updating.....I don't even have that good of an excuse other than being emo and then going away from my lovely wireless internet networked home.....that I hate more days than not. Also there were those three weeks I tried my best to focus on studying and try to pass all my finals. Just checked my grades a couple of days ago I got an 'A' in Photography.....like I thought I would, a 'C' in History 1302...and a 'D' in my PolySci class...then again I only had one of the books I needed and the teacher always ALWAYS went off into tangents. Anywho other than that I haven't really been up to much just online a lot and not at all. Lately I've been on Gaia a lot but I think that is because I like to talk to people and fish....other than that I've been hanging out with Shiori her boyfriend and a few of thier friends a lot lately they've gotten me into pen and paper, dice rolling gaming lately. We just started this new campaign a few days ago and before that we were just doing a lot of White Wolf games and I was just getting the hang of it and now we are doing some other kind of game that I have little to no idea how to play but regardless of that because of events that happend...being taken over by gods...and our DM being really cool we are all now level 25. Also there has been plenty of Guitar Hero playing in the past week or so, I've gotten pretty good myself I'm doing really well on Medium and got 80% on FreeBird today ^_^ Christmas was ok....better than most that I've had in a while I suppose. Christmas Eve we had TONS of family over and a few of my friends showed up, mainly it was a food and chat thing but then my friends and I broke out the Guitar Hero and Cowboy, Joe V. and myself played a game and tried to start another game of cutthroat (billiards) before my mom decided everyone needed to leave so we could open up presents at like 10PM!?! Presents wise I didn't get that much this year....well not to open at least.....let me first start with the presents before Christmas list: Hello Kitty Stationary, Stickers and Pen A shiny new Verison Wireless Razor XD Yu Yu Hakusho Second Wind (semi-on request since my Rescue Yukina disc was messed up T_T) A J!nx shirt A valour shirt Two really cute lolita-ish blouses Opened on Christmas Eve: A confidence self help book (thanks mom, I needed a new door stop) A $15 ITunes gift card (....I don't have an IPod and I don't use ITunes /sigh) Purple Pajamas and a robe (they are nice but damn the static cling) A $15 gift card to Best Buy (from my brother and his family....I'm so getting Clerks 2 with it) The final gift I got was a 250GB internal harddrive which I'm trying to install in Jean....I started trying shortly after I unwrapped it but the way Jean is set up and the way one of the cords works I can't install him how I would need to T_T Well not much else to say.....so here's a Christmas pic that I did This also was put up in my e-cards section a few days before Christmas...so yeah I haven't been totally inactive here .....I think I'm almost out of things to say.....oh yeah LAS Last Anime Seen: ...if we are including yaoi then Haru Wo Daiteita if not then Yu Yu Hakusho That's all for now.....See you on the otherside.
