I'll Try Defying Gravity

Mmm... took the SAT again today. It was easy, just like the first time... but now it's done and over and it's done and over with and I will never take it again ever, so... I'm alright.

The only thing that kinda annoys me is that I had to get up at the disgustingly early hour of 6:30 this morning to do it. I get up then every day for school, but... it's just disgusting on a Saturday. (Jonesy, I seriously have no idea how you do that every day...) And then tonight I'll be staying up until about 1 in the morning again, because it's Saturday. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, BITCHES!!!  8D

But then I had the cosplay meetup, which was so awesome~ I ended up not taking any pictures- my camera didn't have any battery.  ;; But it was still amazing, and it was done by a group that's practically professional at putting on these kinds events, and they had different events in the event like a cosplay dating game, and a karaoke contest... and guess who came in first in the karaoke contest?  XD It was pretty awesome- I seriously didn't expect to, but it made me so happy. And then they had prizes and everything too, so I got all this Death Note stuff- an L ring (which I'm wearing now, by the way... and will practically every day from now on too. Same reason I wear my L necklace- I need the intelligence, and I swear it helps.  XD) a laser pointer light (hee hee~) thingy, that when you point it against a wall, Ryuk's picture comes up. Also, a Deat Note face towel, and Death Note utensils- a fork, knife, and chopsticks.  8D I also placed in the overall costume contest, and was one of the winners of the cosplay dating game. (I was cosplaying Haruhi... and the best part was that one of the questions I was asked as a bachelorette was "How do you feel about incest?"  and at first I was all "Um, yeah, no..." and then I remembered the twins. And how, at least in manga-verse, TamaHaru is practically canon, and he calls himeself Haruhi's father... or in my!verse, being Haruhi but in love with Kyouya, that's Kyouya/Haruhi, and he's her "mother".  XD

...I would say something of more interest and stuff... but I'm kinda exhausted now. So I'm just going to go... do stuff. Awesome stuff... but just... stuff. And hopefully be more coherant.  XD

Hey everyone! Remember that meetup I mentioned earlier that I was hosting? Well I just wanted to mention- there's been a slight change of plans. I don't know if any of you are going who I didn't get on Facebook, but just in case...

There's been some issues with Central Park involving permits, and the fact that there's another meet going on on the same day and time, so we're combining with them, over at Bryant Park!

Here's the link to the new event- it's thier page, since they have more people, and it's us combining with them, and not the other way around:  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=143578429432&index=1

And for those of you who this doesn't apply to... um... I love you guys? And remind me never to try to write essays for anything in under 45 minutes, two days after they're due. Just sayin'.

...That made no sense, did it? Ah, I'm sleep deprived, and still trying to write an essay, and deal with moving a cosplay meet. It's not my fault.

...I'll just stop now.

Alright everyone, this one's fairly self-explanatory- it's not all of them, but here's a bunch of my favorite pics from New York Anime Fest '09!! If you don't want to deal with all of these here, I have them all up on my Facebook, if you wanna see it~

( IT'S CALLED PICSPAM FOR A REASON. )

Mmkay guys, I have some SRS BIZNIZ to attend to here, so listen up!

1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY maotaku!!! I hope it's awesome~~  8D

2) Second of all, questions are still open on my last post if you want to ask me a question to answer in my first ever voice post~ Seriously, ask me anything! Even if it's embarassing and stuff- I have no shame, so it's all good~

3) ...I have themes from Pokemon Ranger: Shadow of Almia stuck in my head. Particularly the Team Dim Sun theme. And I don't know why. After a day full of Death Note and D.Gray-Man themes stuck in my head, I don't really know what to say...

4) Friday at New York Anime Fest- which cosplay should I wear? Shiki Misaki (much more feminine, which will be nice considering how I'm crossplaying the other two days, but I can't wear it to school, which I have to go to before the con- it IS a Friday, after all), or Haruhi Fujioka (much less feminine, but I can wear it to school without having to change in or out of anything)? 

6) J. MICHAEL TATUM IS IN D.GRAY-MAN WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS. Seriously guys, when MY FAVORITE VA EVER is in something, this is exactly the kind of thing YOU NEED TO TELL ME. And it's not on his IMDb page, so it's not like I would have known from there. (Yes, I've checked it. Several times.) Also- Todd Haberkorn, Travis Willingham, and Luci Christian, all of whom are AWESOME. And the rest of the Ouran cast also has parts here and there in it, because it is indeed FUNimation, and they always use the same VAs over and over again... but dude. I mean, I already knew that Todd Haberkorn played Allen, but... what does it say when I recognized J. Michael Tatum's voice before I saw his name in the credits, after about only two lines?  XD

7) If you realized that there was no 5, you win the internets.

Edit: 8) There's an 8 now too!! And a...

9) So about 4... a bunch of people have told me to do Shiki. And the EXACT SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE have told me to do Haruhi. Which is incredibly confusing... but here's an idea, tell me what you think of it- I go to school and the con on Friday as Haruhi, then on Saturday I wear my America in the morning, then change into my Shiki after the Axis Powers Hetalia photoshoot, leave my cosplay with a friend who has her own Artist's Alley table at NYAF, and wander around NYAF Saturday afternoon as Shiki. Mmm? Whaddya think?

So! Two Fridays ago, here in the awesome New York City, several fellow geeks and cosplayers (read: fellow crazy people) got together, and we all went out on the town together.

These are our stories.

...Yes, I did intend for that to be all Law and Order like.  XD

( Pics under the cut to save your flists!! )

And... for other TWEWY cosplayers in/around NYC- is anyone interested in doing a meetup?? I really want to bring a TWEWY group to Times Square, so... whaddya say?? I may (read: probably will) advertise this on cosplay.com as well, but... yeah- what do you think?  :D

So basically, this is one of those memes where someone tagged me with five words she associated with me (fearfulwarrior, in this case), and I have to talk about them. So if you want to do this too, just give me a shout with WORDS! and I'll give you the words I most associate with YOU! :D
( Ace Attorney, New York, cosplay, Ouran High School Host Club, Avatar: The Last Airbender )

Also, while I'm doing memes...

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

So... since I have all these pictures of things from Sakura Matsuri, and the makeshift Star Fleet uniform I have (it's not quite Star Fleet uniform... but it kinda looks like a cross between The Original Series and The Next Generation uniforms... in other words, it's me in normal clothes, wearing a combadge, that looks kinda like Star Fleet uniform. Kinda.) I figured I'd post them! Because I'm not concieted. No. Not at all.  XD

( Seriously, I'm not concieted. Seriously. No, seriously, I'm serious!! )

Mmkay, I'm done with my daily dose of narcissism. For now.  XD

I've kinda decided to screw the countdowns... I don't know, they just get kind of mundane...

So according to eljay, I haven't posted here in 5 days. And I have a perfectly good and legitimate reason for it too.
In cheerier news, I don't really have time to do full length posts about Avatar, Heroes and House, but I have a few little things (despide their smallness, they're all spoiltastic, so they're behind their repective LJ cuts):









Okay, and some other stuff too:

One, the Stephen Schwartz concert was AMAZING!! They had some really good people sing his best songs, and it was awesome, and then Stephen Schwartz himself came out and sang "For Good" from Wicked and I died from happiness.  XD

b- DUMBLEGAY!!!! It was one of those things where I hadn't thought about it before, but once she said it, it made perfect sense!! And now, I see him so much better.  :D

3rd, PREVIEW FOR "THE AVATAR AND THE FIRELORD"!!! Now I know that Zuko is in it too, wearing his outfit from the last episode and everything, and I is very happy!!  XD  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKr44tfb0Mo

Fourthly, Halloween is next week!! I'm wearing my Mai costume again, and I'll be at nature_gurl's apartment building, and it's going to rock, and I'll tell you more about it when it actually happens.  XD

Okay, just one more thing, I wanted to practice my writing skills so: 
The first fifteen people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.

Fandoms I Can Definitely Write Are:
Avatar: the Last Airbender,  House, Friends, Wicked, Harry Potter

Fandoms I Can Probably Manage Are:
Heroes, 30 Rock, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, RENT, The Phantom of the Opera

Prompts please! I'll probably be doing most of these during class lunch, so if I start with an idea, I can actually get something done as opposed to just staring at a blank page the entire period. I can do crossovers for any of them too, if you like.  :D  As an added bonus, if I can, I might draw corresponding fanarts as well, because I want to practice my drawing skills too. So, go crazy, request anything!  XD

Hates me. It refuses to connect to any network, even ones I'm piggybacking off of. And you would think there would be some network I could connect to in the City, but obviously not.

Countdowns:
Avatar The Last Airbender, Book 3 Fire, Chapter 1 The Awakening: 7 DAYS=ONE WEEK OMGSQEEE!!!!
Heroes: Um... some time from now? Wierd, for one of my two favorite dramas on TV, I don't know when it starts. Someone help me out here?
30 Rock: Wow, I really know nothing about the fall TV schedule... again if anyone knows...?
House: Okay, you know what? If anyone knows when any TV show starts, I don't care which one, could you just tell me?


So my brother is listening to his audiobooks on his MP3 player, except he has his Fly Pentop Computer speakers hooked up to it, and he doesn't seem to have a grasp on the concept of not turning the sound all the way up, so if my post seems kind of... out of it, it's because I am.

And I'm officially cosplaying as Mai on Friday, so here's to hoping I get my costume finished on time! inuyattagave me some awesome tips on how to make it, so she rocks.

And I've uploaded some new icons to avatar_fans, these are from the new chibi shorts on the Avatar Season 2 DVD, and a few from School Time Shipping as well.  

And lastly, I've decided to start drawing more, so I have my first comic! Opinions, thoughts, really just anything you can say about it would be helpful.  :D Also, are there enough Avatar references in there that I can post it to avatar_fans? I kind of want to, but if there aren't enough, I don't want to look stupid.
