Keep it simple, now.

I’m down if you don’t expect any more from me
I ain’t got much for you
It’s all right
If you wanna get down
Keep it simple, now.

Ah well. Today brings another blog from me, Nosukii. I just took a shower and I’ve calmed down from my rage. Haha, long story really. I went out shopping with my mother,brothers, uncle and a friend of my mother today. We drove for more than an hour to get to our destination so I was extremely bored by the time we got there. Didn’t really buy anything. I’m not one for polo shirts or preppy clothes. But I do love me some bags.Lol, unfortunately I didn’t get to buy any, but my mother did say she’d take me back to buy a school bag later on. So hey, I’ll take that offer. But it wasn’t that, that sent me into rage. It was the fact my brother got a completely brand new computer. Yeah sure, it was for his birthday. But what did I get for my birthday? $100. Compared to his 700$+ computer…That’s nothing. Of course I’d be angry! And I still get yelled at. Literally. I was just sitting there being quiet and my mother yelled at me. She was like, “what’s wrong with you!?”.

What’s wrong with me? Really? She’s asking that? You must be joking! I don’t really ask for much. Honestly. I may go out alot and go here and there but that doesn’t always necessarily mean I buy something every time I go out. I go to a good school and try and get all the damn good grades they want me to get. And what do I get in return? “You go to Whitney! You should be doing better than that!” EXCUSE ME? Don’t you see I’m T R Y I N G!? For God’s sake! You can only expect so much out of me! And I still get looked at like I’m fucking stupid or some shit like that. Is it because I’m younger? Do they not think I’m mature enough to understand? I’m not stupid.

-sigh-

Oh well.

Anyways, I cleaned my room. There’s so much space in it now~ I have some pictures! Because I want to show it off. LOL

Yeah ok so here…You can see my delicious posters. And my handy dandy dress form! My little work space is there to the right, you can actually see part of my sewing machine and my iron, lol. And yes, I did pin my Nakagawa Shouko shirt to my wall.

And here, you can see some of my shoes there at the bottom. My mirror’s off to the left. My awesome lamp! Except it’s kind of broken so..it leans against my wall, til I can find a replacement. More posters, and my foam head on a stick!

WOO! I don’t know if you’ve caught on yet, but I love love colored lights. Lol. And yes, I do like jrock. Been to a couple concerts myself. And for the record, I caught Kaoru’s(Dir en grey) guitar pick, and yes I will brag. Because I got crushed for it. =3= Many many many magazine clippings of ikemen*. AND YES. THAT IS A KODOMO NO JIKAN POSTER. It looks very suggestive.I don’t know why I have it. I just saw it and was like “oh hey, Kodomo no Jikan” and bought it. Underneath that is my DOGS poster! Which I love so much! I love DOGS Bullets and Carnage so when I saw it, I had to have it!

More jrock and ikemen. AND CLANNAIDS POSTER. Yeah. I like me some Clannaids.

RANDOM PICTURES:

KNOW WHAT THIS IS!? That’s right. My pile of doujinshi. The pile I spent over $300+ on. I have 21 doujinshi so far. Want a run-down of them?

Touhou - 5 doujins, all non-H. Alice in Wonderland, Don’t Move Large Library, and one other one that I can’t read because it’s in kanji, but they’re all by the circle The Hole of Yago. Love Graze/6 by noheppado!(?), and the mysterious book because I can’t read the title *kanji* *kanji* Chinjyaorousu by KiraKiraHikari.

Prince of Tennis – 3 doujins, one is totally NSFW. One is PG, just a small kiss and the last one is like PG-16. The totally NSFW is VOICE MESSAGE by 7menzippo/Akira Kamishima [pairing is AtobexOshitari]. The PG one is You Must Never Lose! by murasakiya/junto murasaki [pairing is NiouxYagyuu]. And the last one is called ONE by Ziraiya and the pairing is AtobexKamio.

Bleach – 6 doujins, one is NSFW, one is like PG-16, the rest are pretty much PG-ish. Um..Bleach is so…over done. If you want any specifics on these, feel free to leave a comment. I can tell you the pairings right now just in case there’s questions. AizenxGin(NSFW),AizenxGin(PG-16),RenjixIzuruxShuuhei(PG-13)..there’s a little..suggestive moment in this one. In which they all get drunk and try to get Izuru naked., GinxIzuru(PG-13), and the other two are pretty much PG. Just a whole bunch of randomness in them.

Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn! – 2 doujins, PG-13 at most. One is DinoxHibari. The art is kind of weird, but I actually like it. Um nothing really happens in it..Hibari’s just being a priss as always, so Dino tried to whip him into shape. Uh..he finds a vile of “something” and is like “kore nanda?” and there’s a panel that says “r-18 (nyaaaaaaaaan~)” and that’s about it. The other one is more sad? More about the past. Um no real pairing, though it focuses on Mukuro and Chikusa I think?

RANDOM ONES! Ok so, here’s a list of all the random ones I’ve got…I have one Gintama, one Air Gear, one Lamento, one xxxHolic, and one GundamSEED. The GundamSEED one actually came with a letter from the artist but I can’t read it….because the whole damn thing is like …Kanji city.

If there’s any questions about the doujins or if you want scans or something…Leave a comment! I’ll scan whatever you want out of the pile. Feel free to ask.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW~<3

That’s a picture from Love Graze /6 .

The phone straps I bought at AX!

One of the illustrations from my Prince of Tennis artbook! Probably my favorite because Ookawa Genki did a picture just like it for one of his photosets!

Iyaaaaaaaa~<33

LOL I don’t know if the guy was just happy I bought over $80+ worth of stuff at his booth but he gave these to me for free. XD

And here’s a picture of the stuff I bought today.

Some wing earrings and mint chap stick. I like the minty feel.

* ikemen, for those who don’t know are good looking guys. Lol, it literally translates to “good looking guy”.

Up Ventura, There She Goes, She Just Bought Some Bitchin’ Clothes

“I’VE NEVA BIN SO HOPPY IN MUH HORE RIFE” – Long Duck Dong, “Sixteen Candles”

That is so how i felt today. I was looking at cell phone accessories and my grandma said that she would buy me the ones i wanted!! They won’t arrive for another 4-12 days, but i have pics from the site:

YAY!! A rabbit on the moon!! I liked this because in a PGSM pic I saw long ago, Tsukino Usagi had one similar to it!! Hooray for Sawaii Myu!!

hello kitty as foam cherries. nice.

The cutest little voodoo Kuromi I’ve ever seen!!(and the only one)

My current phone has jewels and bows like these (they came in hello kitty theme, nosukii has the same ones) but they are pink and silver. Now i have MOAR!! HAHAHAHA.

Annnnnnnnnnnd. That’s it. Also, in exchange for two of my pokemon games (blue and leaf green), my little brother gave me the money to preorder a pinky street kuromi!! It’s so cute!! Plus he save money becuse the doll cost 18.00, and pokemon games are sold used for like 30.00 (why pay that much for pokemon i have no clue…) I also got pics of it. It will arrive at my house this month!!

She comes with an alternate outfit, and the kuromi plushie she has is detachable!!

More pics when i get them!! Also, i won’t argue with anyone who wants to buy me the My Melody version…jk.

He’s a Sweet Talkin’ Sugar-Coated Candyman

7/8/08

Today I went on some Utena forums, and ended up in a discussion about Movie!Akio. Apparently everybody hates him in the movie because he was completely emasculated, or as some like o say “castrated”. I personally think the image suits him well for what he is in the movie. The movie, “Utena: Adolescence(sp?) Mokushiroku”, there seems to be a role reversal for Anthy (who in the series was always under the control of Akio and had everything held against her) has what appears to be some sort of power over Akio. Since akio is no longer the dominant in the relationship (for those of you who don’t know, Akio and Anthy are brother and sister who engage in…erm…not brother and sister…things…these pictures explain it all:

So I think movie Akio doesn’t deserve the hate people give him. Regular Akio was manipulative (sexually and mentally), cruel, posessive, manages to screw with the entire cast (seriously, everybody except for his fiance) and all of these characteristics are shown in how he dresses, talks etc. Movie!Akio: He looks meek, he dresses more feminine, he was given a softer voice, his overpowering mullet is gone, so all of his visuals reflect what he truly is in the movie: Anthy’s captive. He is also given the characteristics of his former self Dios the prince, which reinforces his princelike exterior and mannerisms.

Also Anthy is also homosexual for the series protagonist, Utena. While their relationship was on the fence in the series, its waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy out there. Here are pictures (aka shamless fanservice):

Yay for perverts like me.

EDIT: For whatever reason, one of the pictures will only show up if you click on it. go figure…because I can’t

My Music is Where I’d Like You to Touch pt.2

Yey. The second installation of my itunes playlist. What number did I leave off on?

14. Kawaita Sakebi: Field Of View.

Little Kuriboh (creator of YuGiOh: The Abridged Series) got me addicted to this song last year when I first became obsessed with YGOTAS. “Quieter! Send kirby Dooownnnn…”

15. What Kind of Pokemon are You?: ???

I have no idea who sang this, but Nosukii and I downloaded this song (actually, we downloaded the whole pokemon OST in engish…) and were then hit with a giant bomb of nostalgia to the head. This song has a great beat and smooth course. And I crack up everytime that rapping guy in the song says “Don’t you bug me-with a caterpie!” Funny double entendre there…

16. Be My Baby: The Ronettes

Another song made popular (again) by dirty dancing. I still cannot figure out if this is a man or woman singing. The voice for the majority of the song is ambiguous, but the group name is the “ronettes“, which usually means it’s a girl group, but whatever.

17. Da Ya Think I’m Sexy: Rod Stewart

I love Rod Stewart. He has the coolest voice ever!! Although I do find it weird that he’s like 60 something and still sings this song, along with “Hot Legs”. Ew. That’s the kind of stuff my grandma falls for.

18. Aitsu: Dicot

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO. The perky theme song to the gal-based anime “Super Gals! Ran Kotobuki!” I really love this song, and it make me want to dance! But then I remember I can’t dance to save my life. You think being 1/4 black would give me some rhythm, but all the genes skipped me, along with all the tall ones…

19. My Way: Frank Sinatra

I’m not sure where I first heard this song, maybe it was years ago when Ebay first came out and Weird Al made the parody that was all “When you do it…EEEEEEEEEBBBBBAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY.” I also love this song because everytime Sinatra says “I took the blows…and did it my way” Nosukii’s perverted side kicks in and she laughs.

20. Fiance ni Naritai (I Want to be Your Fiance): Oikawa Mitsuhiro

WOOT!! Sung by everyone’s favorite god/prince/satan/lucifer/bangali/indian guy or whatever the hell you identify him by: Akio Ohtori of Shojo Kakumei Utena!! This is what I’m assuming to be his image song for the movie. He has the smoothest japanese-guy-voice i’ve ever heard (Karuido’s got nothing on him!). Although a lot of people hate how akio was portrayed in the movie, i love it. Even if he isn’t the sexed-crazed pile of STD’s he is in the series (I do mean that in the best way possible), he still plays the sort of role reversal well.

21. Friends and Lovers: Gloria Somethingorother

A song sang by a former soap opera star. This was apparently a huge hit during the 80’s and I am ashamed to say that I absolutley love this song. It’s so cheesy and campy. “What would you think if I told you I’ve always wanted to hold you?/I don’t know what we’re afraid of/nothing would change if we made love.” hahaha…Oh i listen to weird things. Plus, on family guy, chris and herbert the pervert sang this together, although chris was unaware of the whole thing. This song is so Coast 103.5 you will want to barf.

22. Candyman: Christina Aguilara

I hate the fact that I love this song. It’s perverted (“He’s a one-stop spot, makes my cherry pop”) but has a very catchy beat very similar to those of the WWII era. Made famous by appearing in the commercial for the “Chocolate phone” that was the best thing ever a year ago, and now no one cares about it.

23. Obsession: Animotion

A song about a girl who is literally obessesed with a guy (I will find a way/ and i will have you/ like a butterfly) and will do anything he wants her to so he will sleep with her. Creepy…

24. Change the World: Eric Clapton

Very coast 103.5 also. A soft rock song, full of pretty imagery and love. On a side note, this is one of my mother’s favorite songs.

25. That’s All I’ve Got to Say: Mia Farrows (One of Frank Sinatra’s wives) and Jeff Bridges

It’s bad enough that I like this overly saccharine song. It’s even worse that the song is from the 80’s fairy tale movie “The Last Unicorn”. The icing on this cake of embarassment is the fact that I’m 15, I love the movie The Last Unicorn, the entire soundtrack, and I also have interpreted a lot of the movie’s dark symbolism. But considering I like Rainbow Brite, Hello Kitty, Jem and the Holograms, Power Rangers (for the nostalgia), Sailor Moon, and Pokemon Music, The Last Unicorn should be the least of my embarrassing interests.

So there ya go!! The 25 most played on my itunes playlist. I recommend downloading all of these, for all are worthwhile

ALSO: a couple of days ago, I was bored and I decided to give my previously mentioned friend alex the privelege of listening to me rant on the phone. I had completly forgotten that he was in china, and thus his mother answered the phone. Nothing wrong with that, his mother’s nice, but I swear to god she was drunk. I called and she was laughing really really hard. and there was music in the background. loud chinese music. So i said” Hello may I…blah, blah” And then, after about a minute of laughing, she said “Oh wait is this *small giggle* MINA? Alex has gone for short time to china. Only ten days. Call back in ten days.” and then she hung up.

…I don’t know what to think of that. I really don’t.

So now let’s backtrack.[Anime Expo 2008 Pt. 2]

Okay so now that I’m a little more..awake and less tired, let’s backtrack on events at AX a little deeper shall we?

First of all, reading all the threads posted on Cosplay.com about what everybody thought got me thinking about my own list of ‘Pros’ and ‘Cons’.

Pros & Cons:

- Shuttle systems ; I heard a lot of people were having problems with getting on the shuttles? I even heard we needed stamps of sorts? Well, um, not for our shuttle. Me/my brother and a few friends of ours were staying at the same hotel, the Omni, and we did not need any stamps or passes or anything! The drivers were all nice and stopped when we asked them to, to let others on. Overall, they were great!

- Food ; I loved loved loved our hotel location to bits! There was a mini-plaza of sorts located just a staircase away from our hotel. There was a Starbucks and Famima!, loaded with food. And only a minute away. Also, Little Tokyo wasn’t as far as I thought it was. Literally just about 10-15 minutes away, walking.

- General Area ; It wasn’t like everybody thought it was. Nobody got shot or harassed(from what I’ve read so far, at least) and I liked it alot. It was clean and minus the odd looks we got, everybody was very friendly.

- Con Center ; It was so HUGE! It did seem like there were less cosplayers this year though, but many did boycott because of what they thought the area was like. But, I think it was a great location. Though, there was less greenery, yes I know, and that was disappointing. But the center was very pretty. Everything was held indoors, except for the lines(i.e masq line). But I don’t know if any other lines had been outside. I mean, the only time we were outside was when we were going to the Nokia Theater or just wandering around.

- Con Staff ; I’ll admit, some of the staffers were kind of rude. If we stopped for one second in a certain area they’d get mad at us and tell us we couldn’t stand there. Well, jeez, sorry my feet are hurting and I have to stop for a second. My shoes aren’t exactly comfortable. But then there were nice con staffers who weren’t jerks. Which I’m thankful for.


Some random things!

Okay so the Nokia Theater. It was cool, I liked it alot and it was clean and neat. Downside? What in Kamina’s name was up with those rules?! No bags over 14×14″!? Because of that, I had to have my bag checked in just so I could go to the events. That was complete bull. And because my brother’s cosplay ( Rinnousuke from Touhou) had a bag on his stomach, this one lady kept telling him he had to take it off. We managed to tell her we couldn’t remove it and thank god she understood. Prop-wise, we didn’t have props this year but next year, since it’ll be held at the LACC again…We’re going to be in trouble. I’m doing Tokiko next year, along with Etrian Odyssey…Tokiko = wings. And my Etrian Odyssey has a staff larger than me! So…That might prove to be a problem. -sigh- Oh well.

Oh yes, the dealer hall. The place I love so much! It was so big! I was confused half of the time. I couldn’t tell which way I was facing sometimes, or if I had been to a certain booth before or not. But I LOVED IT SO MUCH! I didn’t get to buy any doujins like last year though. Which I am very sad about. ;_; Prince of Tennis doujins whyyyy~?


EVENTS!

AX Idol was pretty good this year, although I didn’t attend last years’…For the singers, I’m glad that girl won. She had a really good voice. And as for voice actors..I was kind of wishing for the guy who did Kamina to win? But, the girl who did Yoko was good too, so I’m not complaining.

Masq. was good. It was short…And there were some very rude people in the crowd. But some skits were awesome! I actually..hated Coconut Bubble Sex’s skit. For obvious reasons. I know they meant for it to be funny but the only part that I actually found funny was the part where Masa D. Luffy got shot. That was about it for them. The band that played while the judges were doing their thing, was awesome! I applaud them. For being only in middle school and playing for so many people. I would’ve freaked out.

_______________________

SO, overall, I enjoyed AX this year. I wish it didn’t end so soon but there’s next year. And bigger cosplay projects set for it, so I’m looking forward to that. ;D Hope everybody else is too. And for the record, the area isn’t bad! Don’t let that stop you. I mean, it was just me and my brother the entire weekend and we were fine. So no worries!

ANIME EXPO 2008 SUCCESS!!

FUCK YEAAAHHH!! BEST ANIMEXPO SO FAR!!!

FIrst of all. ALL PICTURES WILL BE AT THE END OF THE POST!

Okay okay so let me break it down for ‘ya!

We got there around 2:30-ish on Day 0, checked into the Omni Hotel a little early but the guy at the front desk said it was okay. Got settled and left for the Con Center! Well, we kinda walked there just to get a sense of the area, it was pretty fucking far walking but okay. Made it there, got our badges…and….OUR NAKAGAWA SHOUKO CONCERT TICKETS!!!! Which were soooo so so so so fucking close to the stage(6th row!) :D SO HAPPY! Walked around a bit and then met up with the guys. Went back to the hotel and headed out for Little Tokyo, which was close by too. Um, got to meet Matthew(sp?), the guy who booked our hotel. He’s a pretty cool guy. Knows lots of stuff and didn’t know I was only 15. LOL. Headed back to the hotel and worked on cosplay.

DAY ONE:

NOBODY KNEW WHO I WAS COSPLAYING! ;_; Gasai Yuno from Mirai Nikki. But besides that, I bought THE FIGURINE I WANTED!!! The Revoltech of GURREN LAGANN! I love it so much. <3 Comes with a core drill too! YAYAYAYAYAYAYA! I also bought 4 Touhou doujins which I am very proud to own. Went to the Nakagawa Shouko panel where she fucking performed for us! OMG! WIN PANEL! I was so happy! She sang Sorairo Days for us and told us what she wanted us to do during the chorus which was POINT TO THE MOTHER FUCKING HEAVENS! After that…they handed out tickets for a autograph session! WHICH I WENT TO! YEY! She called me cute! And I gave her my Engine Sentai Go-onger, Go-on Red candy dispenser. Lol I picked it up in Little Tokyo the previous day and I had it with me and I remembered she liked Sentai stuff so I gave it to her. It had a button that you pressed and it said stuff. I got her autograph..BUT! I was sad cause there was a Kaiji cosplayer and I didn’t get his picture. :< Cause I was waiting in line. After that, we just kinda went home. OH! And my friend Karen came along with us. She brought her friends along and we had some cake back in our hotel. It was my brother’s birthday btw so yeah…CAKE.

DAY TWO:

Probably one of the best days. I was in my Touhou cosplay! Hong Meiling to be exact. I got quite a couple pictures and I’m glad people actually knew who I was. Lol. Um…Bought more stuff..More pictures…Waited in a huge line for AX Idol. It was pretty okay actually, minus all the Tokyopop ADs before. I got so fucking sleepy watching them. Haha, after that…we headed home….err…what you could call home I guess. Oh the guys we were with came back to our hotel with us to eat since they didn’t want to go Little Tokyo that late. It was so fun! We played a couple rounds of I’ve Never and just chatted. AND AND AND! The best part of the night! This guy..from school, Alan, I don’t know his last name. I found out he liked Touhou too! I WAS SO HAPPY! Omg! I only knew one other person and he had graduated. He asked if alot of people asked for pictures and he wants to cosplay Rinnousuke! CUTE! I’m actually…older than he is but he skipped a grade, apparently which is why he’s a grade above me.

THIRD DAY: NAKAGAWA SHOUKO CONCERT! :D OMG! SO AWESOME! We were on the left side middle row. In the SIXTH row! SO CLOSE! She sang the Sailor Moon theme, Utena, Dragon Ball, NERV, Gurren Lagann, and a couple of her own songs. It was so so so so so good. I loved every second of it, lol. After the concert, me and my brother just headed back to our hotel and changed into our other Touhou cosplay since nobody knew what Gadget Trial was. :< I was Reisen #2 and he was Rinnousuke and went to go wait in line for Masquerade where we ran into…er…Lisu(?) from C.Com, as Yuka. :D yeah and then we waited in line for about 20 mins before they started selling tickets and we just bought some. Cause it was hot, and waiting was so not fun. Masq. was pretty okay I guess..Really annoying wannabe /b/tards were behind us and kept yelling out memes all fucking night. SO ANNOYING. There were some in front of us too but they were the good kinds. One even gave sauce when we asked what song was being played. Nice guy. After Masq. we headed home to pack…

DAY FOUR: Uhh..shit yeah, we woke up so fucking late! LOL. And we still had some stuff to pack so yeah..not much of help. I went as China again with my brother as Kourin. Checked out and got our stuff picked up. Went to the con center and bought more figs and some cell phone straps because I couldn’t resist. OH SHIT THAT’S RIGHT! We found a booth selling some of the Touhou games and we bought them since we didn’t have any hard copies. Uhh..ran into a super fan of China. Scared the shit out of me. I mean, cool, he’s a fan but WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. >.> Was not ready for that. Then we walked into the hall…and lo and behold there was an Alice waving at me. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if she was waving at me so I was like ‘wat’ for a bit there. And then I waved back and she waved more so then I was like “oh..okay so it is me..lol” and BAM! SUDDENLY! More touhoes. Sakuranek0(Marisa), Rabid Potato(Eirin), Myon(Alice), didn’t catch the Lyrica and Lisu wasn’t Yuka. :/ We chatted for a bit. Honestly I wasn’t expecting everybody to be how old they were. Looking kinda young thar. But, I was still the youngest. Ha. Anyways..yeah..talked about touhou(obviously) and…other things. And the guy from the “Hen da ne” booth that sold all the doujins passed by. He told me he wanted to cosplay China too. And he told me he got turned on by yanderes. AND HE WAS THE ONLY FUCKING PERSON WHO KNEW WHAT MIRAI NIKKI WAS. But he didn’t see me in my Yuno. ;_;

And then I went home…and slept for 14 hours. Because I didn’t sleep at all during AX. Why? Working on cosplay and random visits to our hotel = no sleep.

And today I cleaned my room, because I left my room a complete mess before AX. Oh yeah, did I fail to mention? My laptop died inside our hotel room and I had no clue as to why. I hadn’t used it beforehand and I hadn’t downloaded anything cause I was working on cosplay. But now that I’m home, it’s fine. O.o And my cell phone died at the hotel too. The SD card I had in my phone apparently had a file system error and stopped working. :< I’ll just change the card, maybe that’s the problem. -shrugs-

AND NOW FOR PICTURES!

A couple comments on the pictures!

- PRINCE OF TENNIS MUSICAL POSTERS! Um yeah they were pretty expensive but I just HAD to have them. I have the first musical poster, Musical Prince of Tennis. Remarkable 1st match Fudomine, More Than Limit St. Rudolph,& Dream Live 1st. I also have Sanada Genichirou & Shishidou Ryou album release posters. A Hyoutei poster and Fudomine.

- The Enki was the one you build yourself, the Gurren is still in it’s box because I’m working on it right now.

- The Akira & Shiki( Togainu no Chi) came seperately but I bought them both. Because had I only got the Akira( the one standing up) then the base would’ve been very empty looking.

- AKIHIKO(Persona 3)! YAYAYAYAYA! I’ve been wanting that figurine since December. <3

- The Mirai Nikki manga I picked up in Little Tokyo. Along with the Junon and Potato magazines.

- The Prince of Tennis DVD! I bought it for the hell of it. Lol, the book next to it is a Prince of Tennis photobook and has pictures of all the schools including some other art pieces from Prince of Tennis.

- Nakagawa Shouko’s autograph! <3 She wrote everybody’s name in katakana.

- Touhou doujins! All non-H for obvious reasons.

- EDIT! I totally and completely forgot about my phone straps! I don’t have a picture of them, but two of them have Atobe Keigo from Hyoutei, and the other one is Yanagi Renji from RikkaiDai. Prince of Tennis <3

Engrish of the Day! With Mina

I have decided to add a new segment to our brog: “Engrish of the Day! With Mina”. Sadly this won’t be daily, Engrish of the day just sounded better than engrish of the month. Engrish of the Month sounds like a code name you give your period when boys are around so you don’t embarass yourself. But besides that, about twice a week I will post some engrish pictures, and if I really like you, I will put in an engrish dedication at the end of the post, something relevent to whatever the person likes. Also, the titles of these brog posts will not be song lyrics (don’t know if anyone noticed, but all of mine are song lyrics relevant to the topic)

So! here’s some engrish, second-hand courtesy of engrish.com (i got it from a website that stoled it from engrish.com

Notice how in the middle, to the left, one hamster pushed the other off of his cloud. This engrish makes me so happy, i can’t contain “myserf” either!!!

If i went to asia, and i saw this in the bathroom, i would be too scared to “leave off”. Trust me, this wasn’t the worst one I saw…

There is nothing that you can use to make fun of this one. I have no idea what it means/trying to say. If anyone can analyze this one for me, i will be very grateful.

Finally!!! I understand the bears and the bees!! For an odd reason, the bear reminds me of a guy Nosukii and I go to school with. I’ll just call him Keruhii (I don’t know if he knows that he’s Keruhii…)

AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDD, to top it all off, Nosukii, who has been at AX deserves an Engrish dedication. But I couldn’t find anything that related to her, so I found things for her little brother, probably make her laugh since she’s become so fond of Sesame Street (jk, she hates it):

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHA. That was funny.

This has been Engrish with Mina!! Yay.

Edit: Just to let people know, I did not write 3 posts in one day and just publish them. I had them drafted and never got a chance to acutally put them on our blog. The dates are incorrect.

My Music Is Where I’d Like You To Touch

I’m bored. I have decided to make a list with commentary of my top played songs on Itunes. Beware: Although my tastes in music are generally 80’s new wave-based, I listen to a lot of strange songs. Please don’t laugh…not that I would know if you did.

1.Good Old Fashioned Loverboy: Queen

I really, really, really like this song. It’s sweet and catchy. In a nutshell, it’s about Freddie Mercury wooing a girl and telling her all the things he’ll do to win her over. But considering it’s Mr. Mercury, for all I know, he could be wooing a man…

2. (I’ve Had) The Time of my Life: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes

Oh god this song. It’s from dirty dancing, a coming of age movie about a 17 year old girl and the 30-somethign year old man she falls in love with. It also has the most kickass dance scene I’ve ever seen, with the exception of napoleon dynamite :) . Also, Nosukii and I are going to learn this dance before we graduate. We have to. Whether she wants to or not…>:3

3. Shin-Chan english opening: Laura Bailey? i don’t know.

When I’m not watching action bastard save shin chan with his action bastard bastard rod (say that 3 times fast) I’m listening to the catchy opening theme song. It’s horrible. The song repeats over and over, talks about dogs falling from the sky, has a bad jamaican impression, is sang in a really annoying voice, and I love it.

4. I Kissed a Girl: Katy Perry

I love this song. I’m straight and I love this song. Although I do get weird looks when i sing it out loud in public…that’s all I’ve got to say.

5. Danke Shoen: Wayne Newton

I love this song. Recommended to anyone that likes Sinatra (nancy or frank), Nat King Cole, stevie wonder, and ferris bueller’s day off (100 points for whoever just guessed that last reference!) A song about a man with a girl voice who meets a german girl, breaks up with her, buit still says danke shoen (german for thank you) for “taking walks down lovers lane”. If a hot german guy broke up with me, i wouldn’t write a happy song about it, i would go Carrie Underwood on the poor guy (100 points for that reference too!)

6. Grace Kelly:Mika

I don’t know what this song is about, but mika is cute, so i don’t really care either :D

7. Remains of the Day: Danny Elfman

From the movie The Corpse Bride. The song explaining how emily (the bride) died, and why she wanted to latch on to victor. Very jazzy.

8. Losing My Religion: R.E.M.

:D Awesome. No true meaning to the song, but just…awesome.

9. Moonlight Densetsu Jazz Remix: Tokyo Brass Style Band

A jazz cover on the original Sailor Moon theme song for seasons 1-4. Even if you hate sailor moon, anime, or things like that the song is worth a listen. Can be downloaded here: http://sailormusic.net/tracks/bonus_tracks.html

10. Polkamon- Weird Al

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! funny song. Pokerap-type song done by weird al. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

11. I’m Yours-Jason Mraz

A nice, romantic slow song. Acoustic-y. Got really over played at our school due to Seniors ruling senior square. And pep rally’s. And channel one. And dances. And fashion shows. And whittles. Seriously, our school used that song everywhere, I’m not exaggerating.

12. Big Girl You Are Beautiful: Mika

In the style of Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls”, Mika makes an anthem for all of the larger women out there. Which is kind of weird considering he’s a guy and about 7 feet tall and 100 lbs, but whatever. He could have made a song called “Thin Girl You Are Beautiful”, but how good does that sound?

13. Moon River: Audrey Hepburn

A soft, slow, dreamy song. Reminiscent of the old Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters, before she went all anorexic (I thought it was her when i first heard it in breakfast at tiffany’s when i watched it at nosukii’s house) very sad, very soothing.

ANNNNNNNNND that’s all for right now. I have 12 more to do, but i really need to go take a shower right now. My hair feels greasy…

Love you all, even if I don’t know who you are. Except for Alex, i know you!. And Naruto Porn guy. And someone that gets linked here everyday looking for sailor moon wallpapers. Just so you know, I don’t have any. But i know where you could get some :)

The Greatest Man I Never Knew

First draft: 7/3/08

Hi. I haven’t posted in a while. Strange since I haven’t done anything but stay in the house babysitting, but oh well. Also i was sort of depressed due to an earlier post in which i commented about how no one ever leaves comments on our blog (despite the fact that we get about 110 views a week! seriously, we do). I decided that maybe if I finally cleaned out our spam folder we would be bestowed with good karma and someone would comment us. So i went to sift through all of the gambling, sex, and life insurance ads for awhile and seeing nothing good, I just pressed “Delete All”. While the comments were being deleted, i decided to humor myself by scrolling down ann seeing what the other comments said. This was what I saw:

Anon: ” ^_^ I know how you feel-”

and then the page finished loading and the one comment nosukii and I recieved had been deleted. I didn’t even get to finish reading it…Sorry anonymous. You were truly the greatest man (or woman, i don’t have a clue who knows or reads this blog…) that I never knew. And feel free to leave more comments mystery person. Our blog is sad and lonely. It doesn’t even get spam anymore… );

Also, if anyone can tell me a good site to get sailor moon items like the wands, henshin brooches, or the PGSM stuff, please tell me, I’m desperate.
