Cosplay Update [09 Jul 2008|12:35pm]
[ mood | sick ]

So I'm working on, er, a LOT of cosplays right now...but most of them are pretty easy, so.

SANAE HANEKOMA - Have the vest, slacks, sunglasses, everything...just need to style my black wig. And I'll bring a coffee mug with me, cause I loooove props. It makes poses more interesting. (Con - KumoriCon 08)

KYON - Probably the one I'm worrying about right now, as I can't find the blazer anywhere but overly-expensive on e-bay which comes with a tie, and I already have the tie...and I've decided to use my Wilson wig for the hair, because I don't want to buy another brown (but darker) wig. (Con - KumoriCon 08)

KLAVIER GAVIN - I have the blazer, shirt, pants, wig (but I need to style the wig, I began but haven't finished)...just need to get some chains from Home Depot or something for the necklace and belt (as the links are really big, so I don't think there'll be an actual necklace that looks like that). (Cons - San Diego ComiCon 08, KumoriCon 08)

DR. JAMES WILSON - I have the doctor's coat, wig, tie, shirt, pants...everything's done but the nametag. (Con - San Diego ComiCon 08)

KOKI KARIYA - Have the wig I need to style, yellow-lensed sunglasses, and I have a sweatshirt I need to paint and make smaller, as well as take the sleeves off...need to make the wings, paint the zipper (oh the wonders of golden zippers, makes me think of my Axel cosplay), and make that weird...erm...belt thing. (Con - San Diego ComiCon 08)

Oh, and unfortunately you can't see the voting site unless you're signed up, but my entry picture is HERE if you're curious.

My brother's farting firecrackers in his sleep.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone. I don't care if it's the fifth already.

Junjou Romantica [03 Jul 2008|12:47am]
[ mood | crazy ]

JUNJOU ROMANTICA OWNS MY SOUL~ For now, at least. I've watched up to episode 11, as I can't find episode 12 with subs...

My favorite pairing? I think...Miyagi/Hiroki. It's so amusing.

I like the canon pairings as well, though. They're all so different and amusing interesting.

...I can't believe I'm gonna cosplay Miyagi although it's honestly not much of a cosplay. SOMEONE PLEASE AGREE WITH ME THAT HIS PERSONALITY IS A COMBINATION OF ROY MUSTANG AND MAES HUGHES. ♥ And some Kyon, even. Especially when he talks to Shinobu, all bored and indifferent-like.

Uhh...my top 3 favorite characters in order out of boredom...

1. Akihiko Usami
2. Miyagi You
3. Hiroki Kamijo

I think if I knew more about Haruhiko Usami that I'd like him also, but alas, I do not, other than what wiki has supplied for me (and a message board somewhere that had a picture of him).

...and shit. Nowaki is a friggin' duplicate of Li/Hei from Darker Than Black. Similar looks, similar split-personality... o3o

And Hiroki reminds me a bit of Edward Elric.

I think I'm obsessing a little too much over this thing...but this may be the last entry about it. [28 Jun 2008|12:27pm]
So I put my brother on the spot today.

I asked him, "You've known me better than anyone. What do you think. In Full Metal Alchemist, am I more like Edward, Alphonse, or Roy?"

He thought about it, then answered, "Well, I think you're like Roy. A little bit like Edward, but overall Roy. You're not like Alphonse AT ALL."

The "at all" part made me nearly laugh. But yay for honest brothers.

FMA and WALL-E [27 Jun 2008|03:29pm]
Okay, so two days ago I posted an entry about the FMA Rating application I submitted getting votes for Edward Elric, right? And one vote for Russel, which sounds a bit more accurate, in my opinion.

Well, after looking back in my entries/tags and finding out I applied at [info]fm_a_rating four freakin' years ago I reapplied there as well. Right here.

I guess...that's all I have to say. Hopefully I'll recieve votes for that one, as the questions are quite interesting, and I tried to give more in-depth responses than the other reapplication.

---

I'm gonna see Wall-E tonight. :D *nerd*

Random thing at work today. [24 Jun 2008|02:54am]
[ mood | disappointed ]

There's a guy in my line with a bunch of weird coins. While he's waiting for his wife to pay for the groceries, he tells me the U-scan machine wouldn't take them while he's waiting for his wife to pay for the groceries.

I look at them and they just look...weird. And they're all very different. Well, yeah. They're obviously not going to work in the machine. Hell, there's even a crushed penny, you know, the ones you get at tourist attractions. And on the crushed penny is an imprint. Of the Golden Gate Bridge.

"It's the Golden Gate Bridge," I say, but here's the funny part.

Him: "Where do you think it's from?"

I look at him strangely, finding him to appear Caucasian and speak English perfectly well, so he wasn't foreign. And he still didn't know about the freaking. Golden. Gate. Bridge.

Me: "Erm...California..." I didn't say San Francisco, because I was curious on how easily satisfied the numbskull was.

And he found that an acceptable answer. Grinning, he picks up his groceries and leaves.

So, even though I'm certainly not a fan of talking to random people I don't know, I must admit that when I do, once in a blue moon it's worth my time and effort for an internal chuckle or two.

Maybe he's forgotten his elementary school years? Even so, one should know that crushed pennies from San Francisco don't go into the coin machine.

People are such idiots. ♥ :D

Not dead + New games! And cosplays. And grades... [19 Jun 2008|11:55am]
[ mood | lazy ]

I'm not dead. Really.

But it really was a nice rest from Livejournal ever since I graduated a week ago. Even obsessions need breaks, after all~

Anyway, went to the dentist this morning, she says my teeth have perfect care (like usual, I rarely get cavaties anymore). Then I picked up my diploma (might I add the word "finally", as we were SUPPOSED to get them Mon or Tues, but BCC had not posted their grades yet at the time, so they wouldn't allow me to pick it up until my PE credit was confirmed).

---

I also signed up for more hours at work. No classes = work more = money.

---

I've been playing Apollo Justice with my brother some more. We're on the third case. I also got Tales of Phantasia for GBA (thought I'd never find this one!) and Elite Beat Agents (it was only $15). Truly amusing games. And yay for having a Gamestop Card that allows me to get 10% off all used games, in which they were.

Tales of Phantasia: Very much like Tales of Symphonia or Tales of the Abyss, as it was the first "Tales of" game created (back on the Super Nintendo). The characters are fun, but not as much as Abyss of Symphonia. Of course, I just started playing, but I can tell that the depth is not as great since it was for an older system, so the game will definitely be much shorter. I still love Klarth, though. He's similar to a combination of Zelos and Jade with even a bit of Dist thrown in. Anyway, this is a fun RPG that is NOT like Final Fantasy 7 in its battle style...it's not turn based. You actually get to MOVE AROUND, which is how Abyss and Symphonia are like as well. A+ FOR THAT.

Elite Beat Agents: One word. RANDOM. But fun. I had heard a lot of good things about this game... The gameplay is similar to my conducting-an-orchestra game I got in Japanese, actually. Anyway, there's a song played, and you have to touch and slide on the beats on the screen on beat to rack up points. The randomness is here: each little level has a story that goes with it, such as Leonardo da Vinci wanting to date and paint a girl who resembles the Mona Lisa, but she's a tough customer. And the one I'm stuck on now is where you're a white blood cell trying to fight off a virus for a guy who needs to run at a track meet the next day. So, in conclusion? Pick the game up if you're bored and want something fresh.

Oh, I've decided on my cosplays.

San Diego ComiCon:
-Koki Kariya (The World Ends With You) - The wig will be fun to style, yet hard to bring...and I get to make his awesome hoodie~ Oh, and the weird thing that hangs by his waist.
-Dr. James Wilson (House MD) - Easy cosplay. Just waiting on the wig. Also need to iron the doctor's coat I got.
-Klavier Gavin (Apollo Justice) - Waiting on the wig so I can style it. Also need to make his "G" necklace and find some silver rings.

KumoriCon:
-Komui Li (D. Gray-Man) - Re-using cosplays is fun!
-Sanae Hanekoma (The World Ends With You) - I'm winning a bid on a vest that looks like his, but it's not over yet. Also need to style my wig.
-Kyon (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) - Can't find that damn blazer in the right color!!
-Klavier Gavin (Apollo Justice) - Re-using cosplays is fun!

Yes, I have four this year. Since we have a hotel, I shall change on the day I have the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice photoshoot.

Aki Con: (the new one-day one in September)
-Koki Kariya?? Nonetheless, it will be one I've previously worn, as I'm tackling four (although fairly simple) cosplays at the moment, so I'm not really up for another one so soon.

Ending grades are in!

Japanese 103 - A
Karate - A
Psychology 100 - B- (Only because I flunked the project that was worth 20% of my grade or something, guuuuh. Thank God it's still a B.)
Orchestra - A

T_T Karaoke. [08 Jun 2008|10:10pm]
I have NO IDEA on what songs I want to karaoke.

And Gendou's downloading is down, so I can't go finding any that I don't have already...

I was thinking a song either by a lower-medium voiced female or a medium-higher voiced male, but I like rock-ish songs and not extremely happy-bouncy songs.

Or I could try "HOWLING" for one of them again, but the microphone at SakuraCon made it REALLY TOUGH to sing...it was a lot louder-sounding, but I didn't know how it sounded to the audience, so I stopped singing for a bit since I wasn't sure if their ears were bleeding or if it was just me.

I dunno...and it doesn't help that I'm not feeling well right now so my emotions are all out of order, and it's stressing me out...

Wheee Personality Test...Thing. That is sweeping the NATION of LJ! [07 Jun 2008|10:26am]
My personality type: the reliable realist

The reliable realist is down-to-earth and responsible-minded. He is precise, reserved and demanding. His most prominent quality is reliability and he will always make every effort to keep any promise given. The reliable realist is more a quiet and serious type, he does not talk a lot but is a good listener. He sometimes seems reserved and distant to outsiders although he often has a great deal of wit and esprit. His strong points are thoroughness, a marked sense of justice, doggedness bordering on pigheadedness and a pragmatic, vigorous and purposeful manner. The reliable realist does not dither about if something has to be done. He does what is necessary without wasting words.

This personality type not only expects a lot of himself but also of others. Once he has set his mind on something, it is difficult to persuade him otherwise. He does not like to leave anything to chance. Planning means safety to the reliable realist, as well as order and discipline. He has no problem respecting authorities and hierarchies but does not like to delegate tasks. He is certain that others would not deal with them as conscientiously as he does. In management positions, he is very task-oriented - he makes sure that things are well done; however, he does not have a great deal of interest in personal contacts at work.

In relationships too, the reliable realist is reliability itself. As a partner, he is faithful and consistent, well-balanced and sensible. Security and stability are very important to him. He has little time for extravagances and flightiness. Whoever has him as friend or partner can rely on him for a lifetime. However, it takes quite a while for the reliable realist to enter into a relationship or friendship. He has little need for social contacts; he therefore takes great care when choosing partners and friends and limits himself to a small but exclusive circle which meets his high demands. He tends to show his closeness to people who are important to him by deeds - his partner should rather not expect romantic declarations of love.

Adjectives which describe your type
introverted, practical, logical, planning, tradition-conscious, organised, persistent, objective, tidy, conscientious, cautious, loyal, peace-loving, sensible, down-to-earth, responsible-minded, reserved, careful, independent, punctual, precise, demanding, ability to concentrate, trustworthy, pedantic, reliable, persevering


These subjects could interest you
literature, technical activities (model-making), voluntary work, music, trekking, camping, hiking, cooking, drawing/painting, handicraft work, writing, strategy games, politics

EDIT: And like [info]mewithe, I did my two characters for my own amusement:

Nov: My personality type: the groundbreaking thinker. Take the free iPersonic personality test! or My personality type: the spontaneous idealist. Take the free iPersonic personality test!
Ariados: My personality type: the independent thinker or My personality type: the reliable realist

(Although the first choices for them probably sound the most accurate.)

GAIZ.

GAAAAAIZ.



PLEASE TELL ME I'M SERIOUSLY NOT THAT CUTE. And I'd never wear any of those clothes...

CAUSE THEY THINK SO.

EDIT: Okay, I'm getting an awesome mix now. I just...hope I don't get Yuna, cause I don't think it's right.

Manga statements. [28 May 2008|03:26pm]
If Tsubasa RC #17 could talk, it would be saying, "I'VE GOT WEIRD ANGST FOR YOUUUU!" It got me down... I still wanna cosplay Fai someday...I keep talking about it, I just don't know when.

I finished the series Hana Kimi. It was all happy at the end, but...that's not what I was feeling. Really. I'll miss Umeda, especially.

I got SWITCH volume 2~! I love that manga's art style and the characters in it...doesn't help that lots of them wear glasses. Unfortunately, some of the characters look so much alike that it often is confusing on who is saying what...I hope the author worked on that in newer volumes.

Disgaea 2's art style for the manga is cute. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the original Disgaea manga, as the art style isn't quite as likeable, in my opinion.

I read the next SJ release of D. Gray-Man as well~ Yay for Komui making an appearance~ ♥

OKAY GAIZ, time to admit that I'm an AI fan. [13 May 2008|08:21pm]
I don't know which of you guys watch American Idol, but...

DUDE, I AM SUCH A COOK FAN. Ever since he sang "Lonely People"...I've loved his songs, and the style of music he creates with his voice. He truly makes any song he sings his own.

I really want his songs on my I-pod or something. They're absolutely beautiful and my type of music.

LOVE YOU COOK~. ♥

My, how long has it been since I've changed my LJ layout? [11 May 2008|10:02pm]
Well, it's changed. Guess who.

The text is in a similar style to my Axel one, but hopefully this one is slightly more readable as it is a different color from what's in the background underneath it (it's supposed to be similar to the shirt).

Anyway, I made the background, as I built off an official image I found on photobucket. It was simple, really. Because it seems that whenever I add too much...well...it looks worse than when it's more plain.

---

Oh, also, [info]snaaaaaake says I imitate Joshua from TWEWY really well. (On that note, he's not bad at imitating Minamimoto, although he tried Neku but his voice is too low). We were playing Mario Kart Wii (just got it yesterday) and I was talking to him about how fun it would be to kill him in the game with some sort of item...and he said I sounded like Yoshiya, so I bothered him throughout the game, quoting random quotes and whatnot~

Me: *gets into first* Follow my lead!

Him: SCREW THAT!!

And when I said, "Try harder, Neku," he got an item boost and BARELY passed me, taking first. D: He enjoyed that...
