Ah, yay. I finally got a letter from my bootcamp buddy Krystin, giggles. She says that she's doing okay despite all the bull crap that girls do (being fake, hypocritical, conniving). I seriously thought that she was going to be a guide or a squad leader, but they back stab people to get there so none of that for her. Gah, lame. I know that's probably going to be the main reason that boot sucks for me (on top of all the yelling, PT, and training). It becomes a team effort and when people slack, you're going to pay for it.

Anyways, I've got like 13 lbs to go (lol, 45 when I started) and I outbeat a lot of the girls that come into the office. Damn being so short and Asian. If I was like two inches taller I wouldn't have this problem. And on top of that, damn the Marines for having such strict weight requirements! If this was any branch, I would still be able to leave. Doh. Well, I remember in high school when my mile was like 15+ minutes and now it's 7+, though because I'm super lazy I'm not really putting effort into making it like 6+ min. Oh well. Haha, I still want to be the old lady in the front, but because I'm short I'll be in the back. Nooo!

So awhile back, I went down in bike size. My first was a Kawasaki 600R, then my FZR600 and now I'm going back to super low at a Ninja 250. Lame. I figured that the resale value is very high on this bike and that I could just ride around for a few months before I leave for boot. Bam, I find out I have like 7 months to go. Now what do I do? Do I go back up? Do I stay? I enjoy the reliability of the Ninja, but when you're going like 90+ on a highway, you feel like you're going to be blown away simply because it's so light. I'll think about what to do. If there are any riders in the south, that would be awesome.

But yeah, to end this note, an old pic of me on my bike. Haha, I look like a fat guy on it. :3

So, I'm joining the Marine Corps. That's about it.

Hehe, here are some more recent pics. These were taken like a month or so ago. Left ones are before, right ones are after. I'm sorry, it's been so long since I've been on Livejournal that I forgot how to do LJ cuts. My bizzle. :>






And just for kicks is a picture of Asia and I.

Yeah, that's right. Long time no see to you too. After all those months of not getting sick, karma finally comes back and tada, I'm sick. Lucky me. Though something quirky did happen to me. After puking like a bajillion times and finally going to sleep, at 3:46 in the morning, Curtis decides to call me and it goes something like this.

Curtis: Omg, I'm so sorry, did I wake you up?
T: Yes, it's okay... *groggily* what's up?
Curtis:...
Curtis: Oh nothing. I just wanted to call you to tell you that I wanted to touch your penis.
T: ....
T: Wtf... um, okay, lol.
Curtis: Yeah, so I guess I'll let you go and call you up another time to touch your penis because you know I still want to do that.
T: Okay, whatever you want. Talk to you laters.
Curtis: Goodnight!

So yeah. I'm not sure whether I want to file that under my gay comments or my straight comments. Kudos for Curtis for confusing me while I'm under the influence of meds, lol.

LOL, omg, so yesterday or tonight was Teddy's birthday and we all decided to have food and then play taboo. BEST GAME EVER. Screw everyone who doesn't like it. LOLOLOL BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT. You'll only get this if you've played Taboo before and know the rules of the game.

The card says Maya Angelou.

Andreena: She's like an author that wrote...
Betty: TURBAN!
Crystal: -_____-;...

Anyways, as an update on me, I finally got Christmas shopping almost done, just gotta get like two more things. Called off of work for the first time in a long long time at my job. The PS3 is soooooooo pretty. I have a new found love for Tsukigumi and all their members, especially Kiriyan. They won me over with their practice clips. My phone is acting crazy. Lol, girls in boys uniforms = hot. Boys in girls uniforms = hot. Got a new tennis racket from M and it's hot too. Yep, that's it. Just jibberish for now. Maybe I'll post something with content after playing Halo.

By the way, if someone does play Halo 2 online, my username is Momofuzz. Send me a message and we can play togetherness. wo0t.

Dear Square Enix & Sony,

Thanks a whole fucking lot. I mean it. Thanks for
ruining my life, sucking up my time (and perhaps my
brain while you're at it you damn zombies), and making
me spend countless monies towards your video games.
It's your fault for putting out games that are causing
epidemic cases of videogamedom solitudus maximus. Yes,
you heard me, don't deny it. I admit that I myself am
a victim of your manipulative influence. I mean, Final
Fantasy 12 now? How many are left until you finish
your cruel reign which induces bad cosplay, horrific
role-playing, and numerous games of name that battle
sequence amongst your online friends in the FFchat.
I've lost friends, family, and even my pet to the
sanctuary of my room. I highly doubt you all are even
going to stand up and take responsibility for your
actions so this letter probably won't even reach your
sick labs, but this has to get out there. Everyone has
to know.

Yours truly,
Momo

PS. To make sure that this possibly reaches your CEO,
I'm going to pull a Dan Kim moment.

DRIPPING HOT PUSSY WET YEAH WOOHOO COCK CUNT FUBAR

PSS. While you're at it, you can send this message to
Kojima because I'm sure you've secretly got him locked
up inside your basement somewhere.

SOLID SNAKE MAKES ME HOT. Damn him for being so
sexy. Raiden doesn't have anything on Snake. Snake is
the hottest old man out there and Shawn Connery (sp?)
and George Clooney can just face it.



PS^3. I apologize for anything that you've read so far.
I'm doped up on gatorade and have been playing FF12 and
Tactics for days straight now with only a few hours in
between for sleep and work and gym. If this message has
caused you distress in any way, shape, or form, please
delete this as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not
be responsibile for any virgin, retinal, or mental
damage that results from reading this. I warned you.

FREAKY. Okay, so at Earthbound, whenever anyone has a question about body piercings, they are always referred to me to help them. Rishona calls me up to the counter to help these Asian girls pick out some items. From the back of them, there's three, they look like normal Asians, but when I get up to the counter, the middle asks if I remember her and she looks up and I totally do. Ack, she was so pretty and I have a tendency not to like Asians in person. But... effing gorgeous. She had a white blouse with a dark skirt, light makeup, cute voice, buying body jewelry for her ears of all things, really white teeth, and lightly highlighted hair. Ah, I think she's the prettiest Asian girl I've met so far. Weird. Lol, she made me feel soooo fugly.

BUT then I look to the right and.... BAM. The one on the right IS A SPITTING IMAGE OF SHIBUKI JUN. LIKE FREAKING DEAD ON (lol, that is if Rika was shorter and was Korean). I was tempted to even ask her if she knew anything about Takarazuka, eek. YES, I was so surprised that I started stuttering slightly when I was talking to her. Not to mention, the one in the middle (who started to become even more cute because of her personality) kept smiling the whole friggin' time. Ah, I thought I was in a time warp. I had my camera in my bag and I should have made an excuse and taken her picture secretly. It's a little creepy, but if anyone else saw her that knows about Takarazuka, they would have stopped dead in their tracks too. I tried to keep it cool and played it off pretty well save for the stuttering moments and getting my suspenders caught on one of the nails that was hanging off of the counter for lanyards. So crazy!

By the way, I have my list of things to buy (lol, it's only like three things because buying all at one time would break my bank down) from the Takarazuka site for Christmas. Hehe, now, if only I could read that site better and navigate myself around more quickly, I would be set.

Lol, so like... here are some embarassing photos of me as a kitty and my coworkers dressed up passing out candy in front of the store for Halloween. A lot of people wanted me to pose with their kids. Weird. I didn't get any pictures of it, but on the back of my shirt it said Meow Mix is for Amateurs. :]

Strange: There was this girl that came by (A) and her friend (B) that was dressed up as a kitty with one of those hand band ears and a tail. A goes and says 'look, her costume is better than yours' referring to me and I'm like huh? B then proceeds to give me the most evil look in the world and is like 'what are you supposed to be?' and I reply a kitty. OUCH. What a mean girl. :(

Strange 2: Kirstie fixed my ears on my head and she put them way lower than they were supposed to be so I looked like a rabbit. So then this cute little girl comes up and slowly walks up to me and says... are you a cat? And I'm like.. hmmm... I'm a cabbit. And she's like... what's that? I explain to her the whole cat rabbit = cabbit thing and at the end of it, she was still changing her mind on what I was. Sooooo cute!

( low and behold two lame pics )

So look, I'm making a music video and I need some people to be in it. Lol, you have to be in Georgia too, kids. There's really only one or two really long parts and the others I just need to shoot at any time. It can probably all be done in one day and the editing, I will do. Here's the parts in case you're interested. They can be played by either gender and I'll go by amount of screen time.

1. Fugitive ( Our hero! )
2. The policeman
3. Computer Geek ( 1's best friend )
4. Undercover Agent ( Opposite gender of 1, preferably )
5. Annoyed person ( ^^; You get stuff spilled on you )
6. Bullies ( You don't have to be big, btw )

I didn't include the band members, but they're in there almost the full time, so... you know, 2 guitarists, bassist, singer, drummer.

I want to get it done before February so whenever everyone is free and stuff, let me know. I've got all the costumes prepared to so yeah! All you gotta do is give me your time and your face on my camera. :] If this turns out well, I'll be doing some more videos so yeah! Wo0t!

AIDS walk was awesome. I think that's going to be put on my schedule of things to do next year. Too bad we were running a little bit late and we had to pack in like sardines (Tokyo-style) because of the events that were going on in Atlanta during the train ride back. Other than that, it was really fun. Hehe, I was so pumped and I kept wanting to make all of us run, but Ny wasn't really wearing the running type clothes so I felt bad and instead we tried to walk with big groups and cheer. Lol, I'm pretty surprised, though. I'm sure if I went in high school, I would have made some comment about fat or goth people not doing this kind of thing and made us sit down somewhere, but nope, not me. Maybe for other events, I'll drag Betty to go running with me next time or something, yah. LOL, Ny found out, with Betty's help, that I'm really a little girl beneath my manly exterior, haha. AND because we were talking about it and I saw this on yuri_shoujo's page, I wanted to fill it out too. wo0t!

( this quiz thingymabobber )

MWAHAHAHA. I should have been paying attention in class again, but it's so boring, I had to do something else. I know, one of these days, I'm so going to get caught and given extra drawing assignments, but who cares. Well, see... what had happened was.... we were talking about green and the feeling that it gives off, then I started thinking about the little garden snake that my mom tried to go berzerk on, which then led me to remember animal archtypes (sp?) and snake = Orochimaru, which then I thought, hey Mizu from Susano-O reminds me of Orochimaru and the sexy evilness, so then I started drawing. LOL. I couldn't remember what exactly the outfit looks like because the poster picture is really small and I didn't remember the clips either so I had to just wing it. Kinda BSed some parts because I have no idea what it had on it, hehe. Personally, I think she looks too much like Orochimaru and not Mizu, but oh well. That and on the way home, the picture got smudged. :(! But yeah.

NO LJ-CUTS! MWAHAHAHA!!


Not to mention, I used the dollar store color pencils and they're horrible, lol.

Btw, I so tore some muscle in my wrist and now I'm all gimpy, lol. Long story, it's my fault.

LOL. I just watched the Man Wanted clip from Copacabana and I cracked up. I didn't think anyone who really did the Mars Attacks alien weird barking sound would be cute, but when Wataru does it to Tonami (after taking the feather off from her head), it's so adorable! Just to show you how cute it is (actually the whole clip is), I have to put the video up so you can see it too! w00t! Cuuuuuute!

If anyone has met me offline or personally know me, here are seven random and quite common facts that everyone knows about me.

1. I am obsessed with Takarazuka and would spend all my money, which wouldn't be a lot anyways, on it if I could.

2. I listen to the Scarlet Pimpernel soundtrack a lot.

3. I fit many of the typical Asian stereotypes. Like seriously.

4. I'm way too indecisive and like too many things to pick any favorite particular career in life, significant other, interests, food to eat, etc.

5. I'm a cosplay junkie and love collecting cosplay pics, people, and items.

6. I love love METAL GEAR SOLID and the whole series. I've got EVERY game so far except the game boy color version and Document of MGS, but that's only because I don't have a game boy and the one time that I tried to order DoMGS, the person screwed me over.

7. I <3 Omi Gibson.

Don't know who Omi Gibson is? Well, I'll tell you. She's one of my effin' favorite cosplayers out there and probably some other people's favorites too. I haven't seen another cosplayer that has done as many different outfits from the MGS series that she has done and she's an all around great cosplayer. Not only that, but she does a lot of my favorite characters from different series as well. Awesome. Just look for yourself.

[ http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/neokobe2045/TOP.html ]
Mwahaha, anyways, her site is the one above here's some pics because yeah. I like pics.


( WARNING: large amount of Omi Gibson pics )

And that's it because cropping them made my hand hurt. There are TONS more, but those are some that I really liked. For better quality and better pics, go to her site, mofo!

Okay. Listen up, livejournal. I'm going to make a confession to you and you better listen carefully alright? I'm not going repeat it... well, okay, that's a lie, I'm going to probably say it again in later posts. Probably. That's if you're good. Alright, you ready to hear it?

OTOZUKI KEI IS TEH SEX.

Whew. That was hard and it made me want to cry easy.

Yeah... I was watching one of the rehearsals for Tarantella and well, I saw her in it and I HAD to know who that was. SO, I spent all night trying to look through ekusudei's page trying to find this person. At first, I thought she was Yuuhi, but looking carefully, it wasn't. Ah, so much time wasted because... here goes another one of my racist comments WE ASIANS ALL LOOK THE SAME. Hehe, jk. All the faces started to look the same after like the first three hours and after that, I was just trying to find something to watch while skimming through the rest of the entries.

What ends up happening is that I look at youtube's tags and look it up on the Takawiki thing and bam, I find her. Le sigh, at least I enjoyed watching a lot of the videos and looking at all the pretty pics. I still want to kick myself learned my lesson yet again.

I <3 Kimu.

----

Mwahahaha, I told my former art teacher about Takarazuka and I giggled like a school girl laughed whenever she was trying to pronounce it. She was trying to get me to explain it to her and I said that I just couldn't and said that she just had to watch it and become obsessed like I was. So we look it up on yahoo and she sees some of the pics and is like 'whoa, that's hot'. And tada! Another fan is born! Wo0t. I feel pretty darn proud of myself, ya!

----

LOL, so those penpals, yeah. Next time I have genius ideas like that, someone should shoot me. What ended up happening was that, I got more responses from the ad than I would have liked to have and even had one nice, but strangely creepy, person telling me that they wanted to be my best friend, lol. THEN, once I got a boom of messages and replied to them, no one sent me a reply back except for my person from China. Irony? I think not. So now it's just her and I'm going to try to ask some more people to be my penpals and hope that I won't get more creepies, lol.

----

Well, I'm off to eat fish and corn with some friends so ja!

Omg! *rolls around for awhile* I got just two penpals from Japan and one from China. They're so cute and bad at English! It's sooooooo friggin' adorable! LOL, I don't want to tell them that I like hentai just yet, hehe.

Yeah, I like anime, cosplay, Takarazuka, and btw, do you like hentai? :D?

Oh, oh. Ryoujoku no Ame from Dir en Grey, the new single. Fucking awesome. If you haven't gone and listened to it, and assuming that you like Diru, go do it now. I listened it in the car ride with Andreena and Hector while we were helping at AWA and I can't seem to get it out of my head now. It's definitely become one of my favorites.

*yawns* Okay, I guess I'll go in order with everything and start from there.

Vietnam
- Try the sleeping pills out before you take them. I made that mistake. The first time that I took it was before getting on the plane to go there. I was up the whole damn time and fell asleep occasionally, but kept waking up. On my way back, I took it 30 minutes before getting on the plane again. Whoa. I don't know what happened this time, but during most of the 21 hours that I was traveling back, I would wake up every two hours or so and fall back asleep, but every time that I knocked out, I would go into these freaky dream sequences where like... I couldn't distinguish from what was reality and what was just me dreaming so the way back was all kinda like a blur. For instance, there was this older woman sitting next to me on the first flight and I kept thinking that she was rubbing her hand against my leg and pushing her arm into my side, but I don't know if that happened, but I kinda think it did. Ah! I don't know!

- LOL. My gender bending hurts the heads of the Vietnamese people. Yep, they're boggled by it. I got so many guy comments that I might as well have been a guy. Too bad. I'm sure if I dressed up more like a guy, my cousin would have let me stop to go talk to the prostitutes on the street, but he said that because I was a girl they would have told me to go away because they would think that I would be just kidding. RAWR! I want to see "chickens"! Hehe, we even went to a club and saw the men with the "honey faces" looking for prosties and lol, at the end of the night, they even ended up getting some. So sad!

- It's hot. So hot. Luckily, my cousin's room had, although crappy, airconditioning and we didn't have to sleep in all the heat, but we had to put covers on anyways because of all the mosquitos that were flying around. Gah, especially when we were in the mountains, bugs up the wazoo. They were scary.

- We have squinty eyes. All of us. You know why? Because the 'effin pollution is so bad, especially in Ho Chi Minh city, that when I rode motorbike, I had to keep squinting my eyes so that the dust wouldn't just pile up in there and I would go blind. People were wearing face masks, arm gloves, and the whole works, but I just kinda dealt with it because I was stubborn and learned my lesson.

- Whatever they sell you. It's NEVER the right price. NEVER. If they tell you it's 60,000, it's only worth 15,000. It's usually bootleg stuff anyway. I mean, I got two Von Dutch hats for like less than 4 dollars, lol. AND I got all seven seasons of Buffy for only 20 dollars. Getting stuff for cheap is awesome, but don't let yourself get ripped off.

- It's true. The best kind of food comes from the place that it originates at. Pho is the best there. Lol, I had to compete with Ericka on our pho record and I actually catched up with her because one time I had to end up taking out two bowls because I wanted to win so badly. Luckily, this time, I didn't get sick and had to stay in the house the whole time like the last time that I came there. Ah... my love for Lagoo never ends, though. It's the best!

- Europeans that we met = mostly hot. Lol, saw tons of British everywhere, some French while we were in Hue, several Germans and Spanish while in Ben Thanh market, and occasionally met Americans. We stood out pretty badly especially with Ericka, but they were just like sore thumbs. So cute, tho, when the lady on the train asked in a British accent if that was the stop for Da Nang. Ah!

- MOPEDS AND SCOOTERS EVERYWHERE. 8 billion people. 9 billion bikes. That's not including the cars that are around either. Traffic in the city is frightening. People honk at you if you're not tailgating. There's no automatic cars. The best and fastest transportation though not always the safest is on a motorbike. I drive a moped every single day and even I am overwhelmed at the traffic there. Laws are only enforced when there's cops around so usually the idea is to go with caution. Reverse directions are allowed, whoever gets to the light first goes, lights are generally for show, stopping is usually never a good idea, be prepared to get very comfortable with a crowd of people next to you. Don't run lights when cops are around and don't be on a 100 bike. If you do get caught, pay him off because the ticket is going to basically go into his pocket anyway.

- Lots of other stuff happened, but like I said, I'm lazy so... yeah, it was fun. I'm going again within the next two years, but I think this time I'm going to take off like two months and just go all around Asia to know what it's like. wo0t.

( randomly selected Vietnam pics )

AWA
- Another kick ass year at AWA and we're growing every time. I love being in the registration staff and I think I'm going to keep doing it for a long time, lol. Wow, I can't believe it though. We really need to up our system like Dragon Con has it because something is always going wrong, especially in our department. Last year it was badges not being ready before opening day this year was that the online people didn't have their names on their badges. Oh well, got to see everyone that mainly came in and I feel bad for people with the last names A-M, lol. I was in the section with N-Z, mwahaha so I cleared out our line quickly while the A-Ms wrapped around the whole bottom floor.

- It sucks. AWA was right, and I mean RIGHT, after coming back from my trip and I didn't have any time to rest so when I would usually go out and party on Saturday, I was too tired and went right to bed. Gah, trying to get in touch with everyone was such a pain in the butt. I really need to get a cell phone. Not having one makes me feel so useless.

- Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re was awesome and so was Peelander Z, too bad my ear was about to explode so I had to go and sit down for some of it. I got to get a picture with them and their manager called me an 'otokoyaku' and I was so flattered, lol. I even giggled afterwards. woot!

- I so did not get my cosplay done in time because I had to give up that sewing time for my trip, lol. That's okay, I think for anime expo I'm going to work on another costume. Yeah... that's what I'll do. Hehe, I really want to be a stuffed animal for one year. Lol, I want to hug people and have people hug me... for a reason!

Decided not to post up any pics because everyone has some so there. Look around, hos! >D

Takarazuka
- So. Thanks to nuggi_verse I am totally blushing over Komu. Why? Why must you torture me so? Lol. Why is it... that when Japanese people have mullets... they're so darn sexy and we go ga ga over them, but when Americans have mullets, we run away in fear? *glomps the Takarazuka mullets* *.*!

- OMG, lol, I so showed my cousins in Vietnam a few clips of Takarazuka and they were all like, omgwtfbbq is that? Needless to say they didn't see why I was so obsessed with it, but I think that's the same thing that happened when I showed everyone the shoes video, lol.

- I want to work for them. In ANY way. Whether I can patch up some clothes or if I were lucky, work on their outfit team, I would be totally happy. Ah, but that's prolly never possible, but one can wish, right?

So anyways, I have a long story about my trip to Vietnam, but I can't really write about it now because AWA is this weekend so I'll have to save up all the strange stories that I have and put it all down after the convention. w00t, w00t, first day today staffing I can already see it being crazy as hell. They tried to make this year very Dragon Con like and it's still uber crazy. I got yelled at by a mom and Andreena got yelled at by some crazy dude. RAWR!

LOL, so anyway, here's someone's video of the traffic that I had to drive in while I was in Ho Chi Minh city. Luckily, I drive a moped anyways so it wasn't that bad, but to do it on a day to day basis for years? Yikes! At least you learn to dodge things really well?



Tired from the flight, ready for tomorrow, first day of AWA, jam packed at the registration desk, what next, huh?

So like, I'm totally leaving for Vietnam on the 10th and my flight is at 1 pm in the afternoon. Rawr, it's going to be a hell of a long flight, tho, and I'm definitely not looking forward to it. I always seem to get sick on flights that last longer than 5 hours and this one is about thirty something in all. I am going to bring some peanuts or something so that I can eat because that plane food... GROSS. I don't know who the hell can eat it, but I commend them because it smells and tastes like puke to me. Anyways, I plan on bringing some Xanex or Tylenol PM so that I can knock out as soon as possible. Woot, who cares about seeing the pretty things? Knock this biotch out!

I'm going to be back for AWA, tho, so don't count me out of that one. It sounds kinda funny, tho. Sorry, I can't stay longer here because I have to go to an anime convention that I always go to every year. My bad. Yeah, needless to say it did cause some trouble amongst my mom and whatever, but she just wants me to go there as soon as possible and and leave whenever I want. I am certainly going to be busy as hell when I get there, tho, but I'll leave at least one day for complete shopping.

So yeah, if anyone would like anything from there that you know of, let me know and I'll bring it back because it's super uber cheap. DVDs, shirts, trinkets, cellphone chain things, are some of the examples of stuff that I got, hehe. I mean, I found all the anime stuff that I could and bought immediately. Lol, for example my FF8 necklace was only 75 cents while the retail price here is around 25 dollars. xD! Okay, well, that's about it. Wish me luck so I don't get that sick and I'll talk to everyone when I get back... or maybe on myspace occasionally or maybe even on here if I get time in the internet cafe.

Ja!

Btw, I just got a hentai game from Tony... and it's so cute! xD! He says it's not supposed to be cute and I'm disturbing, but it's just sooooo cute! :D!

Highlights time! I only went on Saturday and this is really long. Imagine if I went all four days, this thing would last like... forever.

PEOPLE

- WARNING. Never attend a con with only one other person, particularly if that person is stubborn at EVERYTHING. He would complain if we went the wrong way, but wouldn't lead. He wouldn't take pictures of me with my fav. characters, but would try to get me to take people's pics. He would complain if he was hungry, his feet hurt, he was too hot, he was walking too much, if we couldn't find the place, was indifferent on the questions that I would ask, etc. GAH, I always promised myself that no matter what happened, if I went to a con, I was going to have myself a good time, but he put a dent on that time. I mean, I love him a lot, not like that but, I was going to kill him until we got in touch with other people where then I could talk to them instead. He's a great person, but I don't think I can go to cons with just him again. I learned my lesson.

- Con goers - Nice. Yep, everyone was pretty helpful and tried to help us as much as possible when getting around because they were often times as lost as we were. Uber goth kids were hilarious to laugh at and mock. Sometimes, tho, we had to get really close with people because of trying to get to places. Hotel staff - Mean. Seriously, like we were walking outside one time and they were directing everyone to a different entrance so we saw the opening through the garage and asked the security guy that was standing there if we could go through and he motioned us by. Immediately after we did that, the lady that had been screaming the entire time comes up behind us and yells that we basically can't go through that way and that we were deliberately disobeying her and that she would see us next year, but whatever. She was on a total power trip, rawr. Bah, bad Kimba, telling the lady to shut up. I thought she was going to mug us or gnaw on our necks if I stayed around Kimba after that.

- Let's face it. HOT CHICKS. Okay, so most of them were not, but the few that were made up for it. My guy said that it didn't matter if they had a pretty face or not, if the body was there, woot. Of course, my girl side, tho and said that it was all about the face, haha. More power to those who can get out there and wear some of that stuff knowing that they're going to be ridiculed, woot.

- Lol, so there was this totally very awkward meeting between sobegreentea and I and I think her roommate and her friend. Haha, so tell me why we saw Abbey in the mall while we were eating and I wanted to take her picture because, well, I <3 Danger Girl and Abbey isn't my favorite, but it was a good Abbey. So then, she tells me that there was a Natalia and Sydney, which I was assuming that it was the person above and her roommate. Matt then tells me that oh, he got a picture of them and I was like awesome, ya know? SO, later on that night, I saw the oppertune moment of two Sakuras together, LOL, and wanted to get a snap of them and noticed that she happened to be standing there together with them. Yeah... I brought up the whole story and I think her and her roommate were kinda creeped out because of the total fangirlness (lol, I remember posting on her roommate's page a strange comment that I try to forget about). Haha, so note to self. I'm never going to meet people from online ever again because I frighten them.

- I NEVER got to meet up with Lauren, Jeff, or Stephanie. I was so friggin' disappointed and I was searching for them the whole time. Well, okay, let me tell the truth, half of the time because the other half was preoccupied with taking pictures and running around finding things to do. I wanted to stay for the concert and try to find her, maybe a impossible task amongst all the goth kids, and I could have sworn that I would have found her there, but we left before it because we were all friggin' tired.

- Problem, too many effin' people. What was it, probably, like in the higher tens of thouands? 50? 60? Trying to get by sometimes was painful because there would be a herd trying to go one way and a herd trying to go another way and getting into jams because the cops had to stop people before crossing the street. Dodging people was scary and trying to stay out of their way or getting poked in the eye by something is dangerous. Despite that, tho, most of the time when people bumped into me and I bumped into them, they were really pleasant and took it well or apologized to me. Yay.

THE HOTEL

- I mean, all three of them. Wtf, trying to get from once place to another was already hard enough with a bajillion people running around, but then there was the whole three hotel thing and different rooms to search in. I finally know where to go in the Hyatt, but since the other two weren't really holding anything that I was interested in, I still don't know about those. Hopefully they'll still keep it at the same place for next year.

- Next time, we're getting rooms. Yep, that's it. The whole waking up early at the butt crack of dawn to get ready to go on MARTA and then waiting on people to go and meeting up with them sucks. I am definitely going to enforce on getting rooms for cons because traveling around sucks too. Especially, tho, that we didn't have a phone on either of us at the time because I had been too lazy to pay for it and Tony doesn't drive or have a cellphone so we were so out of luck. It took us forever to meet up with everyone else. Not happening next year!

PANELS & EVENTS

- The voice actor panel was friggin' awesome. Hahaha, Anthony and I loved the part where they were complaining about taking celebrities and putting them as voice actors and basically taking their jobs away and making them invalid. Not only that, but all of them mostly do numerous voices within each show and a lot of them range in voices from very high to very low. Ah, so great! Adult swim was really good too, but during the middle of it, I laid over to the side and tried listening to it, but I ended up falling asleep because I was so tired from the day. That stuff was funny and the Venture brothers people we entertaining.

- OMG, the British guy from the Dawn contest was AWESOME. He's one of the best MC's for contests that I have seen and reminded me of those creepy yet funny old guys from various British movies. All the Dawns flirting with him was hilarious. The contest itself was okay and some of the costumes were cool, but like always, you get some that just throw on some store bought crap and didn't make ANY part of their costume. Oh well. We didn't stay for the end of it, tho, so we don't know who won.

- Haha, I loved it when the guys said that they wanted to go to the Webcam girls room and when they got there, they were tricked because it was just a panel of girls that were talking about how their boyfriends felt about it and like, lol, their myspaces and their facebooks. It got to a point, because we were sitting outside waiting for the room next to it for the voice acting thing, that they were telling people not to even bother because guys were coming in hoping to see breasts and they would walk out right afterwards because there were none so they saved people the trouble of trying to be perverted. Speaking of things that were not what we hoped for as well, we went into the sewing circle, thinking that hey, there would be some stuff teaching about cosplay which I actually needed to know about like lining, interlacing, and all that other crap, but it just ended up being a panel about... glueing it on at the last moment, getting someone else to do the costume for you, and buying the outfit. Rawr, lame, so we totally ditched that. What a disappointment, I missed the cosplay panel, which I wanted to go to, but probably wouldn't have been impressed there either. The fighting and writing panel was okay and hehe, I'm going to start doing the impossible and duel wield two broadswords in each hand, haha.

COSTUMES

[ Personal : Captain Momo of the Endless Rain ]

- Ah, so I totally planned on being a guy and putting on make up to look like one when I was first starting, but it ended up that I got too lazy to put on ANY makeup at all and looked really plain, rawr. Not only that, but because we woke up so early, I didn't have time to do my hair either so that was pretty sad too. Mreow. I should have just put on the wig that I got for the Hitsugaya costume and went with that instead.

- Gah, it was so hot walking around. I started off with my complete outfit and all the stuff that went onto it like how I wanted it, but by the mid day, I was starting to just straight taking things off as hours passed and putting them into the man purse till eventually, it just looked like some half assed outfit that I just threw together from my closet. That makes me sad! It reminded me of the goth kids that just wore what they regularly wore and got pics taken. Rawr, next time, I'm just going to suck it up and wear my outfit all the way through.

- So I'm totally going to redo it and make it better for another con or AWA instead and I'm trying to get rid of the whole belt problem because that crap was so annoying, lol. Everytime I used the restroom it took me at least five minutes to take off everything before even going in. Yeah, maybe we'll even be in the parade with our banner next time.

[ Costumes there! ]

- Visual ecstasy. I had to leave Tony at one point to go take pictures of people in their pretty outfits. At first, I was busy just trying to get around without getting lost for a good two hours and I missed a lot of the ones that I really wanted to get like a picture with the storm troopers and others, but I guess that's okay. Towards the middle and end, wow, my camera was begging me for no more because it was a click fest for me, lol.

Halo & Furries - Screw you, assholes. I <3 furries and I love Master Chief. So what if I always get pictures of him and happened to take a lot of animal pics? HALO is the mother effin' game. I didn't get to take a picture with MC because I wanted to get a big gun and hold it with him, but by the time that I was going to get one, he had already left so I'm hoping that he'll be at AWA so I can get all kinds of giggly and glomp him. Hahaha, I think I took at least 5-10 pics each of the two MCs that were there.

Sakura - LOL, yes. Thoughout the whole day, we saw numerous Naruto characters roaming around the place and I didn't really pay attention to them until Anthony and I saw HER. You know her, the one that everyone hates. They were actually quite a few of her scattered here and there and I made a note to get pictures of all of them, but the best were later on in the day. I got two USELESS, I mean... Sakuras together to pose in a picture that I took. Even better, though, the second one that I snapped had her on the phone. PRICELESS. Seriously, win.

EXTRA THOUGHTS

I am so going next year and going for all four days. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would because hey, I always go to AWA and Dragon Con was always close to it and this is my first year. Anyway, sorry for being really long and I didn't even write all the things that I wanted to because I forgot some of them. Oh well, if anyone else wants to know anything else, I'd be happy to discuss with them so yeah. I got a bunch of pics of different costumes so if anyone wants to see, I'd be happy to post them in an lj cut.

So, after like two months from deciding that we actually wanted to do this and three days before the actual event, we finally agreed on a name for our ship, LOL. The Endless Rain. As a tribute to one of my favorite bands, it sounds cool, and it was the one that we just kind of rush agreed on because we were so frustrated trying to go through all the other names. Hehe, a lot of it was that last reason, but no one has to know that. I'm kinda nervous because I've never gone to a non-strictly anime convention, but I can say that I am looking forward to it. Lol, I had to beg my boss so that Tony, Lauren, and I could all get that day off, and he was kinda mad at us, but that's okay. Hehe, wait till he finds out that I'll be "out of town" for AWA. Mwahaha.

Anyway, the first one is the old one and the second one is what is actually going to be our crest. To me, they're pretty boring, but oh well. I could have spent a lot more thought and time into them, but screw it. The second one kinda does this butterfly effect, tho, and I love it because I'm drawn to the middle and yet it makes my eyes totally want to focus on the circles. That's why butterflies are dangerous! They're killers, I tell you!



I think there's a drastic improvement there, but maybe people might like the older one better. I dunno. Either way, it's changed. Our motto did too and it says 'Bene qui latuit, bene vixit' which basically means one who lives well, lives unnoticed by Ovid. Hehe, I know, boring too, but it better suited us probably than the weird before we die, we salute you one. Ah! And now Opal is our mechanic, btw, score!

Bleh, boring these days! I don't go out much anymore and I don't do much besides sewing, painting, drawing, games, and whatnot. Rawr... a Leo cannot shine as brightly when there's no one around, right? I'm dragging my lazy butt outside, woo.

So yeah, like, tell me why I totally have a crush on the random sales associate at Sirens two stores down from Earthbound? Haha, I feel so much like a school girl that when I pass by the store, I NEVER look into it and everytime I go in, my eyes are glued to the clothes. LOL, not only that, but Lee's coworker at UPS is totally hot too and I came in there randomly, sorta, to find out the price of a package that I was going to send. Lol, I might as well get out my paper and pencil and draw two boxes on them. Check yes or no if you like me too, teehee. Haha, sad! Luckily, I'm too much of a wimp to do anything about it, so just had to get it out there.

Ah, someone else be a dork with me and play Vampire the Masquerade. I already got Betty to start playing with us, but we need more people. Bring all those dorks out!

4 days left and counting, mofos! YEAH!
