But I go to them anyway.
I realized today that I seriously don't touch this thing enough. I'm always updating my LiveJournal, and always forget about my VOX. But even then, I haven't exactly been touching LiveJournal much in the past month or so lately anyway. Even moreso within the past couple of weeks.
Anyway, I decided to make a short Anime Expo post for my VOX friends. 8D This almost seems pointless considering 90% of you already have my LiveJournal added, but whatever. XD
So. I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in forever that I missed a lot, but didn't get to spend much time with them because a large majority of them were running around with 20 billion different costumes to do shoots for. Even when they weren't busy, I was busy running around going from some movies and performances, to the dance, to drinking like crazy, and just... being completely worn out and collapsing on someone's bed. It was so hot, and I spent 90% of my time walking between the Hyatt and the Westin. Which sucked so much ass. I was sore for the rest of the week after AX ended, heh.
As far as cosplay goes on my list? I brought a lot, but only wore three. Even though I wore three, I only got pictures of two. The one I didn't get pictures in was one that I decided to wear to make myself feel better about missing the Final Fantasy Complete gathering (after hearing there were other FF6 characters, anyway) and walked around in that for a grand total of 20 minutes.
My Friday started out with me wearing this sexy, sexy costume. I woke up around 7, and had to get dressed and stuff by 8-9ish because Anson needed to borrow my car to go pick up his paycheck and deposit it (he's weird like that). Of course, I didn't care because I'd be getting a free full tank of gas out of this. 8D But yeah, I had to show him where I parked my car and lend him my hotel key so he could get out without paying anything. I ended up walking around in März for... a pretty long time, actually. The heat was literally melting me, though. D; I had planned to wear the costume during the SKIN concert, because the Capcom vs. SNK gathering was almost immediately after (assuming everything was on schedule, heh). So, I wandered around the outside of the convention center, constantly getting stopped for pictures, when all I wanted to do was walk over to the Westin to get some food and drinks over from Jesse's room. Sorry, I just can't resist ice cold Asahi. ;o There were only two left anyway, so I took one and then Scott saved the last one for me. :DDD By the time I got over there, it was 10:30 or so, and I just drank fucktons of water and made myself some cup ramen. I was just hanging out in their room for a while until Anson got back.
We thought it'd be more convenient if he just picked me up from the Westin and then parked my car back in the Hyatt parking lot while I was there so I could know where the hell it was when I needed to use it again, and then just walk back to the Westin so I could eat my noodles and he could go to the bank right around the corner.So, after that, Scott, Kevin (as Freddy from Cromartie, also known as Susan), and I went to go meet up with him and Jesse over in the exibit hall for a bit, which is where I ran into Andy and got all these sexy pictures taken. 8D Sooooo, we hung around in there for a bit, then Kevin wandered off somewhere, and the four of us got some food over at Sharky's before heading over to the SKIN concert since seating should've started at 2.
Apparently, that wasn't going to happen on time at all. We ended up standing around in the heat for a good two hours before I decided I was dying too much in März and went back to my room to change, and headed back over to the concert line of faggotry. Thankfully, the line had been moving a lot, and Anson and Jesse were just sitting in the shade while they waited for me, and for the line to get shorter. It didn't really matter if we were in line or not, since we already had assigned seats. We just wanted to get in where the sun wouldn't have to be so gay. Eventually, we got in (after cutting like mad XD) and it sucked a bit more because uh, I was all worn out from the heat, and Anson wasn't feeling too great because he ate too much, ahaha.
So, the concert finally started around 6:30, as opposed to 4:00. What the fuuuuuuck. Whatever. At least I got to see it. It was fun, though Gackt looked way too much like Ren (from Nana), and Yoshiki looked way too much like David Bowie. XDDD It was amazing, hahaha. Jesus, Gackt's facial expressions throughout the entire concert were just... what the fuck. XD I loved it. Miyavi is a dork. And Sugizo needs more love. Like, a lot more love. ;((( I think I got eyeraped a couple times there, too. D: But yeah, I was surprised. They sounded really good together. Now all I need is to see X Japan later this year and I can die happy, haha.
After all of that, Jesse had to leave for Pop Shock Masquerade (lo:lita was playing), and I went back to the Westin with Anson to go be gay with his anime club. I don't know what the fuck Colin was drinking, but jesus. He gave me so much rum, it was amazing. XD I swear, the coke was just for coloring. Eventually, all of us left to go watch Jesse play in his gay band. XD Interesting night.
I think that's probably the most I did in a day all weekend. Saturday, I was so tired and sore that I was just relaxing in my room half the time. I went and saw all 5cm per Second with Anson that night, even though we were supposed to go with Anthony and Devin (who got there really late and we couldn't get seats by them even if we wanted to, so they were forced to sit in the front whereas we happened to find two seats towards the very back, right in the middle :D :D). Symon, Ari, Mary, and Wes were there too (who I was supposed to see it with first! but then those other three fags decided they really wanted to go, too XD), but again, we couldn't sit by them either. I met up with them when the movie/series/whatever ended and Ari and I discussed different ways to go kill ourselves because jesus, that movie was incredibly depressing. I think we were all ready to go throw ourselves off a train. XD It was so good, though. But I didn't cry. I want to own it. ;_;
After that, we were all pretty worn out and retired to our rooms for the night. And then it was Sunday! Another day that involved me waking up at 7ish with very little sleep, like the last few days. In the morning/early afternoon, I put on Relm for a bit and walked around looking for food. I ended up buying some really expensive pizza that came with some really delicious pasta. I think that was the most I ate all weekend, heh. I ended up taking that back to my room having been starving and satisfied at having so many people recognize me in my costume and stop me for pictures (that NEVER happens when I'm in Relm, but apparently FF6 is getting more popular now? hooray! :D). I don't really remember what I did between then and 5:00, so oh well. I changed into Morita for Honey & Clover gayness at the ferris wheel over in the Pike. :D We got some really good shots, but not all of them have been posted yet. This is just one of the preview pictures that Jason put on his LiveJournal. Andy took a lot of pictures too, and I really can't wait to see them all. X3 I've had this costume for over a year now, and I'm finally getting pictures of it. And with an Ayu and a Hagu! :D Stella was nice enough to bring her old Ayu costume, and Julie was nice enough to do a last-minute Hagu for me. :D Apparently, she had always wanted to cosplay Hagu, so she was really excited that she finally got to.
After all of that was done, I changed and headed over to Anson's room to go hang out with his drunk ass + his anime club, and watched some live action Nodame Cantabile. I kept telling them that it's amazing, so I guess Ken decided to bring it and we got a lot of people to watch it and they all seemed to love it like they loved the anime~ Such a good series. It makes the classical geek inside of me so happy.
Uhh, can't really remember what happened after that aside from getting drunk for like, the third night in a row, dancing a bit, aaaand watching Ken and Levi sing the old Harlock opening in karaoke. XD It was pretty awesome. OH YEAH. I finished watching the Hunter x Hunter musical with Kevin and Scott. Hisoka is so amazing, ahaha. (Yeah, we had been watching that entire musical when we had time on Saturday and Sunday night...)
Then there's Monday. Monday was just finishing up the packing I started Sunday night (didn't get back until 4 in the morning or so), and heading over to the Performing Arts Theater to watch Transformers with everyone. Sadly enough, Will didn't get back on time and they wouldn't let him in, so he couldn't see it (even though I swear he was probably looking forward to it more than some of the other people we were in line with). Anson went to go see it with him and Dan a couple days later instead, so yay. :3 But yeahhhh, Transformers was good. Like, really good. That was probably the best thing that happened on Monday. 8D
So yeah, I think that's all the important stuff, ahah. Ahhh, this post is really long. >_> I'm thinking of going to Infirmary tonight, but not sure if I really want to yet. I should see if Dan and Anson are going. If they're there, I'll go. ;_; I want to do somethingggggg.
So. I noticed that I have a lot of cosplays planned this year... XD And I think the part that amuses me the most is that I only have one anime (manga, actually) outfit that I'm doing, and that's Hunny's volume 4 cover outfit from Ouran High School Host Club. Everything else is... k-pop. XD I've got Jaejoong's TRI-ANGLE to finish, and then I have no idea which version of Balloons I'm doing this year (though I did happen to see the same pink fur that Yoochun has for the PV sitting around at Joann's, which was really tempting to buy). And I still want to do "O"‐正・反・合 cosplay as Jaejoong so I can have his chicken hair. D; I think I'm bleaching it all anyway for Heechul in that performance of Miracle I'm doing. XD Speaking of Heechul, I think I'm doing U (PV version) along with Miracle (purple) and Dancing Out (purple) for AX. Those are what I'm looking forward to, anyway. I think I just really want a Kyuhyun that I can go up to and be like "That's COOL~! 8DDD" though I think I'd do it anyway.
Aside from sorting out cosplay, I've gotten back into Guild Wars after getting Nightfall for Christmas. I've been wanting to get this Vabbian Armor set for my Mesmer. So hot. ;x I've been playing her a lot recently, even more now that a friend of mine decided to invite me into his guild. It seems like I've also gotten a ton of different people into it as well, and now they're all trying to catch up to me so I can play with them, and we're all in the same guild thanks to that same friend. XD They're all playing Factions though, when the armor I want is in Nightfall. Too bad for them. :P Half of them don't even have Prophecies, but whatever. XD
I want to play PvP again, though~ With my mesmer. XD I'd kick ass. :V Cancelling spells and draining energy for myself every so often~ sounds wonderful. XD But ugh, I've got this 10,000xp quest I've been working on that's just insane. :x I love it, though. I have to finish four other
for it, and they're all 8,000xp, buuuut I don't really need experience right now because... I'm already at the cap. XDI also already started saving up for my Ritualist's Obsidian Armor that I swear I will get one day~! ;_; It's too sexy for me not to work for it even though I know it'll take me forever, but jesus, I've already been saving for it since I made her. XD I'm going to be needing twice as much plat as I have now to be able to afford both of those, and a hell of a lot of luck to find the items I need. 8D I want to get the Ancient Armor for her, too, while I wait for Obsidian... but that's also in Nightfall. XD I should probably get her to the mainland and to level 20 first soon, though. ;\ I don't play her enough, but then again, I guess I've only really been playing her when Kai needs help with his lower level factions character. ;x
Other than Guild Wars, I started playing a new Korean music game that isn't O2Jam, and that is Audition. Okay, I won't deny that I started playing this after seeing screencaps of it on Heechul's cyworld, but it looked so fun and I needed something new~ XD My character (zelamir) is all ugly right now, though, 'cause I have yet to buy her any new clothes and stuff. I don't know how to give the crazy koreans my money so I can buy sexies, so I'm just gonna get stuff that doesn't require it but is less sexy. ;x Oh well. At least I can dance to my gay k-pop. 8D I really like it, though. It's fun. >:D Though it does piss me off that there are a billion Heechul/SuJu fangirls playing it so they can stalk him in-game, making it hard for me to get better because people keep leaving rooms when he's not in them and I can't get more experience and shit when I play by myself. >:( Bitches need to stop being crazy and just leave him alone. I just want my shinies. ;[
Aaaand I think that's all I have to say. Long post, I know, but all my posts here are long. I kind of wanted to try putting pictures into my posts as well, sooo there you go. XD PRETTY SCREENCAPS OF MY SHINEY. 8D But yeah, that's all you get for the next month now or whatever because I hardly touch this thing. XD
I finally got around to putting the few pictures I took at Ani-Magic on my computer. I put my two favorites here. One is of me as Heechul (Super Junior), and the other is of me and Steph as Heechul and Kibum. We did the outfits from the Twins (Knock Out) PV. I haven't posted these in my LiveJournal yet. I'm waiting for more pictures first. Those probably won't be around until either PMX or ALA.
I need to start working on my Jaejoong cosplay from the Tri-Angle PV. Ugh, those gloves are going to be a bitch. Watch me break them every five seconds. Damn me for picking his stupid ass outfit. D: I don't even like Hero. XD I like Micky, but Steph's going to be Micky for that ghetto jacket shit and the comfy pants and no need for a wig~
As most (if not all) of you know, I haven't been sleeping much lately. I've got about 30 minutes until I need to get to the bus stop for class, and I should probably use it to sleep. Instead, I'm watching Goong.
This is probably pretty random, but I somehow managed to show up in the background of someone else's picture (you can see a lot of me, and the back of Ueda!Steph's head) when I was cosplaying Jin (KAT-TUN). XD Ugh, I want Andy to hurry up and post those pictures 'cause my hair was being awesome and Jin is stupid. I lost the link to the picture, though. 8F /smart
I finished watching Super Junior Full House today. It's sad. Kibum is such a dork. He should speak english more often. *nods*
I have to leave for school in less than 30 minutes. First homework assignment was to simply draw a person. I decided to randomly draw some guy that ended up looking like Leeteuk. It's hot. I'm not happy with it, though. Drawing men isn't exactly something I'm good at, but girly men aren't too bad. 8D I usually draw women, so I'm not really sure why I didn't just do that. Well, whatever. We were to do whatever we wanted, so that's what I did.
I seem to still be in that sort of mood where I'm not motivated to go to school at all, and get nervous before class starts every time. Hopefully it goes away soon.
My Japanese class it way too easy for me. That's the last of what I have to complain about regarding school.
I have all this J-drama I want to watch, but I haven't been in the mood to sit through it all. Akihabara@DEEP episode 2 is out now, so I'll probably watch that when it finishes later tonight or tomorrow morning.
I'm so bored right now. There is way too much stupid in my communities on LiveJournal.
I should work more on my Heechul cosplay and take pictures of it. Or just wear it out. I also need to remember to buy a few things tonight or tomorrow for Heechul and Hero.
