Dear lidl_delerium:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it first of May in women's clothing and I saw you carve your initials into my best friend. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand how awful I've felt. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I told in my confession today about Oprah Winfrey imitations.

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,
Kagemarunl

( Rules 'n shizzle )

I'm at home right now, sick from work...well, you can't really call it sick since I feel pretty much fine...

But anyway, a warning to you all: Balance what you drink and eat and don't use too much salt! Kidney stones are a gigantic pain in the arse! But here's how the caper came down: (lol COPS reference *geek*)

I woke up this morning with this UBERLY HUGE stinging pain in the left side and broke out in cold sweat as, as per usual, I started to think of things that could be wrong with me. Including cancer and tumors and all that. Not a pleasent moment, I can assure you.

Either way: My mom called the local doctors who told her they needed a urine sample which she delivered over to them (I would've gone along myself, but I couldn't even sit up straight, so that didn't really work out. ^^;) and when she came home, I was so relieved! It seems I have a tiny kidney stone rolling around somewhere down there, because they found bits of blood in my urine. And so now, well, I'm home. Called in sick at work, so that's all good. *sigh of relief*

I was already planning to send a mail to Abunai, telling them that I wouldn't be able to show up, but I guess that's not necessarry anymore, right? XD

Oh, and about Abunai, my lolita outfit is almost complete! My walking stick is being made now (and it's going to be pretty~!) and my pants were...err...shortened? Not really sure how to say that in English...oh well, anyway, they were made a bit shorter then they actually were. Aaaand...my Spy is completely done aand my mom took my measurements for Lloyd's labcoat yesterday, so I do think it's all going to work out just fine! I'll be heading over to Abunai on Thursday evening and I'll be certain to keep my cellphone on at all times during the con, so if you ever need me for anything, just call! (And I have pockets in all of my cosplays! How handy! XD)

The SEME or UKE Quiz created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as The Optimistic UKE You are the kindest, most sweet, and cutest of all UKE kind. This is not really a bad thing, actually it's very good. You may be the lowest level of UKE but you are also the happiest and most adorable. You are often a fan of things you can snuggle with and cartoons will never grow boring for you. You smile a lot and nothing ever seems to get you down which makes you a great match for the Gentle SEME. Be warned, though, my Uke-friend.. rough times await you if a Homicidal SEME lingers too close. You would do well to befriend a Sorrowful UKE as I'm sure your happy-go-lucky attitude will balance out their depression. On my last note I will say that ropes, whips, and chains aren't your fancies even if they are tempting - I'd stick to just the simple stuff if I were you. The Optimistic UKE 100% The Breaker SEME 80% The Gentle SEME 80% The Sorrowful UKE 45% The Devilish UKE 40% The Homicidal SEME 35%

Fits me perfectly, eh? XD

First work, then heading over to Katsu's place for the fair! \^O^/

It's a long meme and I SHOULD be in bed already...but bugger it all, it's almost weekend!

So, without further ado:
( Ye ol' meme )

And there we go.

Good night everyone! *steals tag from lio*

Since it seems like everyone's doing this one, I might as well jump on the bandwagon. XD (Thanks for the questions Lily. ^_^b)

1. There are 30 questions.
2. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits.
3. Answer one question with one name.
4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme.
5. If you want to know the questions because you want to do the meme as well, let me know through a comment, I'll PM the questions to you.

1. Me. And I love every one of 'm. <3
2. From my LJ friends? Well, I think I know Lid'l, Lisu, Radboud and Puu-chama the longest.
3. Hmm...at this moment? Nobody, I'm rather content. Although, anyone who is on vacation right now will do. *shakes fist helplessly*
4. These questions are harder then I thought. XD Hmm...no doubt Katsu's already on it...Scarlete? No idea~!
5. Jarlino (But we love you for it!)
6. Lid'l and Katsu, without a doubt. XD
7. Dark-kun
8. Lid'l
9. Nobody because I won't be able to handle that. XD
10. ...Pam? Sorry! XD
11. Hmm~...Me? It's rather annoying though. ^_^;
12. Heh heh heh. A whoooole lotta people, men and women alike. <3
13. Nobody that I know.
14. Lino and Rick. <3
15. Lots and LOTS of people! <33333
16. Dark-kun, Lid'l and Kirone
17. No comment. XD
18. Sweet Tsuki! <3
19. Fhant
20. Lid'l
21 and 22: What the heck are those? o_o;
23. Myself. XD
24. Err...nobody, I hope?
25. Hmm...when it comes to flirting, I'd say Dark-kun or Katsu. XD
26. Heh heh heh...anybody! No seriously, no one at this moment. ^_^
27. That'd be me, fo' sho!
28. Hmm...what the heck am I gonna do? About...every LJ friend is a cosplayer already! XD
29. Err...no comment on this one either. XD
30. If any of the answers above seems harsh or rude to you, please remember that this is just a meme and you probably know me better then to think that I would ridicule or insult you. X3
Also: It's the inside that counts, not the outside. Don't let appearances fool you and seek out that which is hidden. The rewards are indescribable.

Well, to start at the beginning, monday was my first day in school since...October last year. It felt rather refreshing, to see my teachers again and to see all those new faces, all (sort-of) ready to fill their heads with knowledge. Anyway, after finding out which class I was in, I went there and I was rather happy with my new classmates. The one next to me was 24, so I wasn't the oldest one, to my surprise. XD

And so, 2 and a half hours of introductions and information giving ensued. After that, me, my mentor and my work practice counselor all said the same thing: I was in the wrong year, I should've been placed in the second. Because if I were to start in the first year, I'd just be repeating the 3rd level of our education course over again. And, of course, that's a waste of time and money. So! Went to the administration desk, had my year changed and immediatly went out to find a place where I could start work practice, because all the second year student start the second year with 5 months of work practice. Found one immediatly through a recommendation of my work practice counselor and had a intake the day after. Went pretty smoothly because I was accepted on the spot. Joy!

Wednesday was a free day, so I used that search for clothes for my lolita outfit and, to my other surprise, I had a lot of success! Now all I need is pants, a cane and shoes and I'm done! \^O^/

Either way, today was my first day at work practice. First got a whole rundown on what my work would be during the period (I have the "very special and responsible" job of putting out the trash every 2 weeks. I never felt so honored before in my life. -_-;) and also a readout of the rules and guidelines of the place. Picking up the phone, yeah bla bla bla all very understandable. But then it came to this: I'm not allowed to leave my cellphone on during work hours and I'm also not allowed to check my mail. In other words, I'm completely unreachable during...8 hours of the day. Wonderful. I think I'm heading towards a very boring period. -_-;

Oh yes, and then there's another problem: I work from 9:15 to 17:15 and I have to work at the Albert Heijn at 18:00. I can make it, no problem, but doing this for 5 months? And no, I won't be able to eat during that time, it's 25-30 minutes by bike at top speed, so I don't really have any time to do anything. So, in short, I'll be working everyday from 9:15 to 20:15 (or 21:15 on fridays). What the heck have I gotten myself into? ^_^;

I'll go talk with my manager tomorrow, to see if I can sort out this mess somehow and at least grant me some time to live a normal life, not being rushed almost all the time.

I'm complaining about it, I know, but I'm sure there are fairly little people out there that work 10 or 11 hours per day, 5 days a week. ^_^;

Patterns~!

( Meme )

*wipes sweat off of his brow* Now that took some of my precious time. Eh. *shrug* XD

In other news: Today I told my boss that I wanted to quit the TNT, he wasn't happy with it (and neither were a few of my colleagues, to my surprise), but he agreed, saying that it was my own decision. See that? I'm making my own decisions! Ha! My parents tried to convince me not to quit, but I did so anyway, because:
- Main reason: I'm out of the house on nearly every saturday, which has forced me many times to ask for a colleague to work for me. If I don't work there anymore, I won't have to ask. Easy!
- I'm starting school again next week and thus, I'll only be able to work on saturdays. Will 3 measily hours per week bring in a lot of money? No, it certainly won't. Pretty useless then, right?

Selfish reasons? Aye, certainly. Do I care? No, not really, because it's my life and my free time I'm sacrificing. Now gotta finish working till the 1st of October (due to forms that have to be filled in, administration that has to be completed and new people that have to be hired in my place), so I guess I'll make the best of it, eh?

Also in other news: Lolita clothing is expensive! o_O;;
And so, I'm going to Den Bosch (or any other large city) and I'm going to buy some clothing that's close to the kodana/dandy/ouji (Google it yourself if you're interested. X3) style of the lolita fashion. I have some pretty good ideas on what to get thanks to both Ms. Iddlewith and Lisu-chama. It won't be from any fancy brands (As I said, WAY too expensive), it'll be just clothing that I can find that looks like it, but I'll try to make it match to the style to the best of my abilities!

Enough bla-ing, I've got Black Cat and Yuusha-ou: GAOGAIGAR to watch!

Step 1: Post this into your LJ publicly.
Step 2: Others will reply anonymously about what they really think of you.
Step 3: Cry, because this meme is so brutal, and it hurts.

Give me your true feelings here, no holding back. I don't care who you are or what my relation is to you, but I want to know everything. So please, go for it!

Madness? This is LJ!

( Bal du Masque )

( Castlefest )

Not so sneakishly stolen from liotsuki (Not putting it behind a cut because the meme isn't that long. X3)


1. My username is ______ because ______.
Kagemarunl because kagemaru was already taken. How lame, eh? XD

2. My name is _____ because ______.
Tichon because...err...my parents chose that? What a silly question. XD

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
Hikari Todoku Basho ~The place where the lights reaches~ because It's an awesome ending song for the Rockman.EXE Axess anime. 8D *geek* I hoped to shine a little light here. To share my happy feelings and to shine more light on things I've experienced and all that.
See? Even I can think of a deeper meaning for things! XD

4. My journal subtitle is ____ because ____.
Tenshi no Sora, Ningen no Sekai (Loosely translated as "The sky of angels, the world of men." No idea why I put that there, I don't believe in angels, that's for sure, but I guess I just liked the saying. ^^;

Tich and Titi because that's a shorter version of my name. <3

Akari's <3. She just looks so awesomly cute in it! *geekish once more* 8D

GURREN LAGANN HAS ANAL SEX WITH THE DAI-GURREN. AND I LOL'D. HARD.

Especially with Leeron's reaction.

Everybody interested in hot-blooded yelling and posing, mecha fighting and after-gattai lightning and volcano eruptions, watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's "Who the hell do you think am?!"-tastic.

Fuuma-dono from Nabari no Ou 's pretty awesome too. I laughed when he smacked Yoite away, sorry Lily. XD

Definite cosplay list for Abunai 2008 will be:
- Leeron (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/gurrenlagann/chara/images/leeron.gif )
- Lloyd Asplund (Code Geass, http://code-geass.bandai-ent.com/characters/images/lloyd_COMP.gif )
and
- The Spy (Team Fortress 2, http://www.tfc.jolt.co.uk/tf2/tf2_spy.jpg )
I'm not going to change it anymore because I REALLY need to start making things right now. I mean, sure, Spy's easy, but Leeron and Lloyd...are going to be fun to make, oh yes. X3
Then only problem is to choose when I'm going to wear what. TTGL and Code Geass will both be on Saturday, because I want to do a photoshoot with all of the other cosplayers, guess we'll have to arrange something.

Bal du Masque comes to pass in two weeks. This sunday is costume checking for appropriate-ness for the event and I already wanted to buy new things for Kahnya...so, as soon as I get down from work tomorrow, I'll be scootin' over to Den Bosch to get what I need. What that'll be, no idea, but I'll look and find it with my dying will! ^o^/

Sleep now. I even have to work at the Albert Heijn on my supposedly free day. Damn that call for help which I couldn't ignore. XD

Oh, and last weekend was lots of fun and very relaxed. Had a few...interesting chats (*grin*) and, finally, played a multiplayer game with both Lidy and Tim. Thanks again for letting us stay over Marco. ^_^ (And got compliments on my massaging skills! Anyone need a bit of creaky-creaky in their back? XD)

NEDERLAND HEEFT VERLOREN! 3-1 VOOR RUSLAND! EINDELIJK IS 'T VOORBIJ! (Ha! Rechtmatig gebruik van m'n caps lock!)

Ga je vlaggetjes en alle andere rotzooi maar opruimen oranje fans, tot over een paar jaar weer~! XD

In ander nieuws: Vanmiddag eindelijk een DS gekocht. 'n witte, want die was (ohohoho~) 30 euro goedkoper. Met daarbij de spellen New Super Mario Bros. en Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. <3

En nog anders: Ik heb gisteren officieel mijn ontslag ingedient bij de Albert Heijn. Ik blijf er werken tot 1 augustus. (waarop gelijk ook al m'n overgebleven vakantieuren worden uitbetaald. Mega bonus dus. <3)
Ik vindt het op zich wel jammer voor m'n collegas en bedrijfleiders, aangezien ik en Alex, een goede vriend die daar ook nu weg gaat, zonder twijfel de meest ervaren vakkenvullers (Niet dat je daar trots op kan zijn ^^;) in de avondploeg zijn. En aangezien wij nu weg gaan, tja, denk ik dat ze nog wel een probleempje of twee gaan tegen komen. Maar ach, komt wel goed met ze, toch? ^^;

Edit: Morgen iemand iets te doen? Ik verveel me te pletter thuis.

Changed the layout of my journal, since I found out that Danielle was still hosting the pics I used to have in the layout. I'm sure she can use that space for something better. XD

Since I'll be going to see Miyavi on the 24th of June, I've recently started listening to his music again. And damn, I forgot he has a LOT of awesome songs! Can't wait to hear him live! <3

Currently working. A LOT. From Tuesday to Friday, it's delivering mail for the TNT postal service. Usually from 11:00 to...around 15:30/16:00. That's for delivering 2 districts (can't quite find the correct translation of "wijk") of mail in my hometown. I can't say I'm fast, not at all, but at least I'm doing a good job. I know where mail goes when it's addressed faulty, I find all the controlcards (Cards they put in the mail to check on how well we seperate mail for every address), I clean up the mess I make in the depots (Something a LOT of my colleagues can learn from, it seems -_-;) and I'm friendly to the people I meet at the door. (also something some people can learn from)...and it makes a lotta money too! Since I have a contract for 4 hours a week (yes, you're reading that right, 4 hours a week), the rest of the hours that I make are being counted as extra and they're being payed for in that way as well! I get 8,57 per hour, which is about...2,5 euros more then I get at the Albert Heijn. ULTIMATE YAY! Finally! I'll have something to use to pay for my driver's license!!!

Oh yes, Albert Heijn. I still work there, 6 years in a row now, every evening (except Tuesday and Saturday) from 18:00 to 20:00. The pay sucks, the colleagues and staff suck and the work is repetitive and could be done by a trained monkey. Still, I'm there. Why?! Because it's another 300 euros extra next to what I get at the TNT and, silly to say, I haven't got anything better to do anyway. I'm starting school again in August! Finally! Give me a project and homework and I'll make it without any complaint! I know now how important schoolwork is and I'm determined to finish the level 4 MBO ICT course to continue onto the HBO courses and finally specialize myself in something! *clenches fist in determination* *\^O^/*

And, of course, there's cons and cosplay and anime and all that, but it's not important compared to the above, that is. XD
Although, I've picked up writing again. And I can say one thing for sure, I'm ever so glad Lidy asked me to start writing with her, her writing style and the dynamics and the way she uses every single one of her character's traits so well...I must say, I'm constantly impressed as I read her writings. We'll release something for you all to read when it's ready, okay? XD

*goes off to practice his headbang skillz* XD

1. Leave me a comment saying "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and personal nature, or not so creepy/personal.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed you will ask them five questions.

( Here we go~! ~/o/ )

En morgen Animecon~! Met de Marco-mobiel naar Almelo cruisen, spullen dumpen in hotelkamer, gopher meeting bijwonen en dan gelijk al gopheren, whooo~!
Morgen heb ik G-man aan, dus als je me nodig hebt: let op iemand met grijs/blauw pak en een briefje op z'n rug! XD (Of je belt me op m'n mobiel, whatever you want~!)
Ik zit van 16:00 tot 19:00 in Videoroom 2 als je me nodig hebt. ^_^

( memes )
Whoo meme randomness~!

Holyc rap, een post zonder meme's of andere random crap! XD

Een aantal dingen waar ik 'n update over heb (Onder een cut, om ruimte op jullie vriendenpagina te besparen. XD)

( Werk en school )

( Cosplay )

( Fandoms, spoilers voor Aria en Lovely Complex )

En, als laatste, doe mee! Met de schrijfwedstrijd voor Abunai! Elke maand kun je een entry inleveren die door een jury wordt bekeken en uit alles wat dan binnen komt wordt een winnaar voor die maand besloten. De maand daarna begint alles weer opnieuw! Het thema waar in geschreven moet worden is legendes, mythen, folklore en geesten...kortom: Legendary.
http://www.abunaicon.nl/events_other.php

Funfact: De meeste mensen hier kennen wel Kahnya, m'n paars/oranje zigeuner/hippy outfit voor fantasy fairs enzo? Ons mam vroeg toen straks aan mij of er geen "mannelijke versie" van het personage was, want ik had het er over dat er iets aangepast moest worden enzo. Ik zo "Sowieso is het al een man en nee, ik zelf ben de personificatie van het character." Toen had ze niets meer te zeggen. XD

cuz I am a thief and I like stealing from: chianna (Hell, I even copied these exact lines. XD

a. Post a list of 10 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.

This is gonna be fairly easy for those who know me well. X3

Aria - Akari Mizunashi by sakura_201: She's so...bubbly and happy and smiling and friendly and pink-haired and...well, pretty much everything about Akari makes her a very likable character! ^__^

Cardcaptor Sakura - Yukito Tsukishiro by chianna: He's, above all else, very handsome and friendly and he's always worried about other people. I guess that's it pretty much. Oh yeah, and he's got a healthy appetite too. *munch munch munch* XD

Clannad - Nagisa Furukawa by voxune: Nagisa is...my, so much. She's above all very cute, her soft voice, facials expressions and the way she flutters her arms around when she's embarrased (yargh spelling) by Tomoya is just...simply love. ^__^

Fruits Basket - Ritsu Sohma by isisishtar. Even though he's a bit spazzy and easy to drive into a fit of apologies, he knows who he is and where he stands in the Sohma family...let's just forget that and say that he looks absolutely smashing in his pink/purple kimono. XD

Happiness! - Jun Watarase by sakura_201: What can I say about him...he has long purple hair, likes to tease other guys with his personality and likes to wear clothing made for girls, while looking superbly wonderful in them. Favorite trap #1, so to say. <3

Kanon - Nayuki Minase by chianna: Nayuki is SO CUTE. Period. She's cute when she sees cats (but can't touch them because of her allergy ^^;), she's cute when she sleeps (and the amount of alarmclocks in her room is just ridiculous XD), she's cute when she slams her head into the table because she's still sleepy (Yeah, she is. XD) and so on! She's friendly and helpful too! ^__^

Mahou Sensei Negima - Nodoka Miyazaki by voxune: Ultimate shygirl love love love~! Nodoka'll blush and mumble when there's talk about Negi-sensei or him being with her and all that, but on the other hand, she's a very reliable person and she knows...well, a LOT. Guess that's what happens when you're a member of the Library Exploration club. XD

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha - Subaru Nakajima by marco_puu: Subaru is, in contrary to the many traps and shy girls on my list, a character that's totally different. Her mode of transportation are a pair of motorized rollerblades (I'll kick the first person saying that they're Air Trecks, Mach Caliber = Awesome.), she attacks with speed and air-pressurized kicks and punches (As well as her own version of the famous Divine Buster), screams a lot of "UUURYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!"'s when she's charging forward and, well, she just looks totally awesome when doing so. <3 for Nanoha Strikers.

Minami-ke - Makoto "Mako-chan" by sakura_201: Another trap, yet this one is...quite a bit different. He's a big idiot, he's completely ignorant of other people's feelings and he knows perfectly well how to confuse someone greatly. Yet he's adorable when he's skipping around in this dresses he bought, so I guess that makes it allright. <3

Saint Seiya - Cygnus no Hyoga by isisishtar: He's hot. He has blond hair. He's a real mother's boy (which is a good thing, except when Ikki or Camus fxed it up). He's hot. He attacks with ice and the frosty winds of the northern tundras. Did I say that he was hot already? XD

Good luck. X3

And that's it! Thank you all for participating! ^__^

...

What? You expected cake? What do I look like, some giant homocidal female supercomputer? XD

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Woot! It works perfectly for me! ^__^ (Though I don't really get math, but that's a detail XD)
THE POWER OF YOUTH! *pose* XD

Gisteren naar Mahoudacon geweest.
Zie pics hier: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v600/Kagemaru/Mahoudacon%202008/

En zie rant (gepost op het aniway forum in het Mahouda topic) hier:
( rant in dutch )

Very much looking forward to next weekend. ^___^

Stolen from voxune, again. XD

( Games meme thing )

As for myself, most people here know it already, but I finished my internship last week and with that, I also succesfully passed all of my exams and am done with my current education course. ^__^
I have no idea what I'm going to do next, so I'm going to work for about half a year while searching for a new education course. I'll stay in the ICT business, but I want to specialize more. I want to find what I'm good at and what I enjoy to do. Those are my two goals at this point. But first, graduation and recieving of my certificate! ^__^

And now, I'm gonna shower and gear up to watch the carnival parade. XD

Hope to see you all soon~! <3

Oh happy day~! My parents just announced that they'll be away in the weekend of 17-18th of May. Which is the weekend after my birthday! So, some quick thinking (Me? Yeah right.) and I asked them. And they agreed! I can celebrate my birthday during that weekend!

So, long story short: you're all invited! I know it's still...what, 4 and a half months away, but that doesn't matter! Better to let it know way beforehand so people can keep that spot open on their calenders! That is, if they want to come. XD

Post here if you're coming and what you'll be bringing along!

There will be no costs (except if we decide to travel somewhere, but those are your own worries ^^;).

Stole this survey from Tim (Zandbak XD) on DA.

Who did you first cosplay as?
Rock Lee from Naruto

When and where did you first cosplay?
Animecon 2004, my very first one.

When and where was the last time you cosplayed?
Original costume: Mid-Winter fair, as Elanthor Brugginheim (Revelations), also dubbed as Jezus, Mozes and white guy.
Actual cosplay: Facts 2007, as Enzan from Rockman.EXE

Who have you cosplayed as in the past?
Original characters:
Khanya Wildflower (Revelations) My free-spirited, flower sniffing, totally gender and sexual preference confused hippy gypsy guy...

Cosplay:
Rock Lee from Naruto
Sanosuke Sagara from Rurouni Kenshin
Kimura-sensei from Azumanga Daioh
"Neji" (failed cosplay) from Naruto
Shuichi Shindou from Gravitation (Shining Collection outfit)
Ken Matsushiro from Yakitate Japan! (Both his normal outfit and the outfit he wears in the 3rd ending)
Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist
"Nagi Springfield" ('nother failed cosplay) from Mahou Sensei Negima
Takashi "Mori-senpai" Morinozuka from Ouran High School Host Club
Ijuuin Enzan from Rockman.EXE
That "Attention Duelists!" guy from Yu-Gi-Oh
Kouno Tohru from Princess Princess (Stage outfit)

Who is your favourite person to cosplay as?
Tohru. Skirts and frillies = <3

Who do you REALLY wanna cosplay as?
Subaru Nakajima from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers (with Revolver Knuckle and Mach Caliber skates)
Akatsuki from Aria
Hyôga from Saint Seiya
And soooooo many more~!!

How many of your friends cosplay?
Er...a lot? Almost...everyone? XD

Have you ever walked around in public in your cosplay outfit?
Sure.

Have people in public ever recognised you and asked for photos?
Nope.

Have you ever made your own cosplay outfit?
Though I very little about sewing, I am able to make a cosplay out of mostly random clothing that's lying around the house. Only a few cosplays out of those though. Gotta learn more about sewing first.

What was your favourite cosplay experience?
The Naruto act on Animecon 2005. It was random, it was silly, it featured characters that weren't even IN Naruto, but we had fun. Oh yes indeed.
Naruto act shares the 1st place with the Princess Princess group though. The whole dancing thing and and walking around all day in a dress, along with Tim and Marco who were in dresses as well...<333~! ^___^

What is your worst cosplay experience?
Ugh. Either "Neji" or "Nagi". Lol, both names are 4 characters and begin with an N and end with a I. It must be hitsuzen. XD

When and where did you first learn of cosplay?
Let's see...when I visited the Animecon forum to look around a bit on what there was to do at the con. Sub-forum named cosplay...what the fudge is that? *looks up images and info*...gotta do that as well. Period. XD

What did you think of it then?
Awesomely cool.

What do you think of it now?
Need I repeat myself? I think not. XD

Where do you usually cosplay?
At conventions and sometimes at meetings. I'd rather not go out and cosplay at random, I've gotta have some reason for it. A planned photoshoot or any other event is enough.

Have you ever done a cosplay skit on stage?
Sure, a few.

Have you ever won a prize for said skit?
Nope. Doesn't bother me all to much, if I'm being quite honest.

Do you plan your cosplay outfits waaay before you’re meant to wear them?
Of course, that's the way things work. The only problem is that they're usually switched with other cosplays and/or forgotten in the sands of time.

Have you ever been to a convention and cosplayed?
Heh. A silly question.

Ever have something terrible happen to your outfit?
Not..really? Not that I can think of? I mean, I've never had the need to fix anything or whatever.

What is the best thing about cosplay?
Seeing other people cosplaying as characters from the series you're cosplaying from as well. Talking with people how they made their costumes, talking about the character and why they chose it (and/or any kind of random talk about the character and relations XD) and all that.

What is the worst thing about cosplay?
Things breaking apart on your cosplay, hearing comments such as "I could've done that SO much better." I mean, if you want to cosplay the same character, fine. If you're better in making cosplays then me, fine. But you do NOT have to rub it into my face that I have simple made costumes.

Why do you cosplay?
Why not? XD

Now Tag 3 Other Cosplayers?
No?

I BEAT PORTAL! Mwahahahaha! Eat fire GLaDOS, may your core and personality chips burn in the fires of my wrath~!

What can I say, I loved it~! XD

^___________________________^

Mid-Winter Fair tomorrow, whoo~!

http://www.heartless-bitches.com/rants/niceguys/niceguys.shtml

Just a little something I thought that's...pretty much about what I am. And I'm certain some people here would agree with me. ^^;
I wanna change that though! And not only because I read this!

I wonder how I came to be like this...hmm~, probably because of Sanne, my ex from...3 years back? Or was it 4 years already? Can't remember. ^^;;;
Either way: why am I putting so much effort in keeping a girlfriend? Shouldn't the effort to keep a relationship going come from both sides?
As it says in the link, I used to shower my girlfriends with presents almost every time we met, but a relationship shouldn't be about materialistic things, it should be about feelings and living together without any trouble! Sex is not even a requirement! Not at all!

Yes, I know, I can still be a friendly guy and everything, but what if I had given a little less attention to my previous relationships? Would I've forced my girlfriend into showing that she cared about me and our relationship as well? Would it have equalized our efforts and provided a normal relationship? Would it have made her think that I've lost interest and make her uneasy? So many possibilities which I have to keep in mind...which everyone in a relationship has to keep in mind!

Whoa~, did I just type this? I must've been really talking from the heart here, I didn't intend this post to become this long or this serious about myself! XD

Either way: if anyone's got any advice or comment on my ideas, please say so~! ^__^

Now, about something else: This weekend was fun!
Saturday: I just headed for the train without any definite destination in mind, but I'm glad I did! I bought a 19X19 Go board in Utrecht, which means that I can REALLY focus on making some good joseki and practice various forms of opening and attacking and such! Also: bought a new necklace for my OC, Khanya. (The crazy gypsy/hippy git XD) A white fan without any descriptions on it (FINALLY~!) and a white shawl for Elanthor, seeing that the Midwinter Fair is already around the corner and such.
Then, when I came back to Den Bosch, I first bought Chevalier d'Eon 2 and talked a bit with Jimmy and a friend of his, after they left I was called by Marco, who asked if I could come around and pick up my GameBoy Advance, which I forgot there a few weeks ago. While there, I ate (For some reason, cooked apple in chicken curry = YUM~!), played a bit of Teaching Go versus Stefan, in return learned to play Chess (Now I can finally play Dian! I was so delighted!) and lastly played a...interesting game of Magic, while using one of Radboud's decks. We were going pretty strong, but ended up overwhelmed at the endgame. Oh well, I had fun! ^___^
And then on sunday, I went to Amstelveen, to the Europian Center for Go, where the first national Hikaru no Go day was held. In short, that meant a small introduction into the history of Go and a explanation of Honinbou Shuusaku's games (No wonder he was called the Invincible ._.;), a chance to see a Japan-styled room, complete with authentic Go board, stones and chairs. That was where a few of the official games for titles were played. It was...exhilarating, to say the very least. And a great honour to sit in that same chair as a few of the master players did. Heh, Fujiwara no Sai (A cosplayer, mind you XD) even guided my playing. XD
Entered a small tournament as well, came out with 2 wins and 2 losses and a sort-of determined ranking in which I came out as 18th through 16th kyu. That's pretty high for one who hasn't been playing for all too long yet.

Went home, sleep and now it's all work work work again. This Thursday, the big move from the old city hall to the new one will commence. I have to work from 08:00 to 22:00, for crying out loud! I can go home, have 1 hour of free time, then go to sleep. I certainly hope that I don't ever have to do this again. o___o;; (Though it IS a rare experience to help with a move this big. ^__^)

Good day to you all~!

Right, 's been a long time since I posted anything at all, so here we go~!
I'll be talking about a LOT of subjects and events that have been occurring all around me for the last few weeks and I'll make a cut of every subject, for your viewing pleasure. (So you can pick and read the subjects you like to read and ignore the other random blabber XD)

Note: A bit of ranting towards people and venting of emotions can occur in this post, so don’t say I didn’t warn ya. And yes, I know, I’m not like that, but I just had to put it down somewhere, right? ^^;

( Work and work practice period! )

( Abunai! )

( FACTS 2007! )

( Sandrine's birthday! )

( The weekend at Marco's place! )

( Games! )

( Cosplay! )

( Myself! )

For you who have read through it all, thank you ever so much! I can’t believe I made it last this long! XD
For those that have read only the pieces which interests them, thank you very much as well! ^__^

A happy life and lots of good luck to you all! May the sun shine down upon you and lead you into everlasting happiness! ^___^ *feels like a poetic git at the moment* XD

Or something like that. XD

Aaaanyway, this entry's gonna be pretty random, so don't say I didn't warn ya. ^^

Yesterday, when we were at Lidy for practice for our Princess Princess act at Abunai, we went like "Hey! Tim's gonna come home soon, let's all dress up and go meet him!". So we did. XD

Lidy and Marco in their almost fully complete Princess dresses and me in quite a few pieces of clothing that were borrowed from Lidy...but the borrowing part doesn't matter (Well, it does actually, I was honestly super glad that I could borrow it all AND that they were in my size as well! XD), but then when I wore the outfit and looked at myself in the mirror (with a wig on and all), I just felt...I don't know, at ease with myself. Like, as if all my worries about my body (Yes, I have those, I blame myself ^^;) just became mist and flew out of the window, not to be looked back upon...in short: I LOVED IT!

Then, when we were outside, a lot of people stared at us. What? People from Wassenaar (I almost typed Townsville. XD) haven't seen crossplaying before? Shame on them! XD
Though some people reacted with things like "Oh, you all look so nice!" and we had a guessing game with some kids on who of us was a guy and who wasn't. Brilliant! XD (Oh, and some guys on a moped passed us by, then came by again to take a good look at us. Princess's Smile for you, mister! XD)

Ooooooooooooooooh~...can't wait until Abunai~!! \^O^/

And I bought hair-removing cream today. Gonna try it out tomorrow, woot~!

Also also: I'm busy with work practice at the moment. I can't access Gmail nor hotmail, I can't visit livejournal, nothing at all (Which is good actually, because then I won't get distracted ^^;), but if you REALLY want to reach me, please send a SMS or call me on my mobile phone. I'll be sure to get back to you. ^__^

( Placed behind a cut so I don't screwish up your friendsies list XD )

Yay~!
Going to Lidy on Sunday, practice practice-desu~! I'll bring my camera along so she can tape us practicing, so that we have something to show people who aren't coming to Abunai exactly what we're going to perform on stage! (And give those that ARE coming a taste of what's to come XD)
School's going great! Gotta work on finishing 2 studytasks, but they'll be a piece of cake if I can set my mind to it. After finishing those two, it'll be 15 weeks of work practice for me after that, which will be mostly the same as the last period...but that doesn't matter, because then I know that I can do a good job over there! Use the same systems, take the same phonecalls, everything! ^__^

VERY much looking forward to Abunai, mostly because of being able to see all of my friends again, hug people, break some windows with Karaoke, do a good job at gophering aaaand...to just have fun with everyone~!! ^_________^ (Oh, and to give some sort of apology to Kurosaki Ichigo. I've been a bit too harsh on him at the time when I didn't know he had a language problem...so yeah, that's a important part of the con as well. ^^)

Wow, a peronal update~...haven't had those in a long while. XD

Could people kick me to continue writing on my stories again? I really want people to know who my characters (of which I've cosplayed as 2 already, Kahnya and Elanthor) are and what their role is in the story and all...my muse, where are thou~?

Oh right. Kefka (From Final Fantasy VI) cosplay. Some day, some con. Not sure yet, but it's gonna be there. XD

Grabbed this list from Marco (Who grabbed it from Danielle in turn). I thought it was cool. (Copycat or what? XD)

Got a C! From m_kun-sensei~!

Meme: Comment and I'll give you a letter. You have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal, and give out some letters of your own.

Card Captor Sakura!
A anime and manga which centers around a young girl, Sakura, out there to collect clow cards and battle fearsome foes. One of the cutest CLAMP anime I've seen until so far!

Cardgames!
Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh (In which I SUCK! Seriously! I noticed that from last weekend's duel!), Shaman King, Avatar, Rockman.EXE...need I say more? I love collecting and I love playing against people (For fun, mind you!), a great way to spend your free time!

Computers!
My education course is all about this and to be quite honest, I'm spending a lot of time of the day working with em. And even though they've become a vital part of the communication field of our world, I still wonder what the world would look like if they never had been invented...ah well, that's something for me to wonder about, I think. ^^;

Cosplay! What else?! XD
Even though I have no sewing skills whatsoever, my dear mums helps me out in making various outfits for the annual cons, so I don't take any credit in making the cosplay, but I DO have lots (and I DO mean LOTS) of fun when cosplaying! Either alone cosplaying a totally new character from some obscure anime or together with a group, putting down our best performance as we go, I don't care, as long as I can do it! ^___^
