"What do you fear, my lady?" "A cage. To be kept behind bars until use and old age accept them, and


all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire."
"You are a daughter of kings. A shield maiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate."
Hell, I would fall for Aragorn there too. Just sayin'. He could not have said anything more perfect to her right there.

So. Um. Guys suck and are made of such massive fail, especially when they insist on never opening up ever about anything. Oh, and ignoring everyone around them... like, refusing to even acknowledge their presence. Even when they're having an emotional crisis in the laundry room, and they're the only one there and there's no damn way they could have missed it but they just chose to stand there with their fucking headphones listening to music and ignoring me I mean what the hell is his problem.

...Um. Guys suck. And sometimes I feel like I picked the wrong guy to have a crush on.  DX

So... two of my friends left campus today, and I am going to miss them. A lot. I'll get to see them again over February break, but the missing them will still be there. A lot.

By the way, I'm just chilling here, in front of my computer, eating the New York pizza my friends brought me (even cold, it's better than the crap they serve here!) at about 1:30 in the morning. Fun times!

Ooh, so I went to the thrift store in Waltham on Saturday. And I came back to school with a really super cute denim skirt, a little cello figurine/music box for my dad, and a really gorgeous prom/formal dress that looks amazing on me that's barely even damaged (it IS a thrift store, after all)... and I got it all for only $15. I love everything.  :D

Also. J. MICHAEL WILL BE AT ANIME BOSTON.  8D All my love.

...Right. I can clearly no longer brain. I think it's time for me to go now.

"The pain will ease/If you would learn/There is no future/If you don't learn from the past...


...THANK GOD THIS MOMENT IS THE LAST.

Hee. Not saying what that's from just yet~

So... I'm back in New York, visiting for my brother's Bar Mitzvah.

sldkfjsdlkfj I'VE MISSED MY CITY SO MUCH. PIZZA. BAGELS. CHINESE FOOD. I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I HAVE MISSED GOOD FOOD. And then just... the City itself. The feel of it, the vibe, the intensity... everything is so slow in Brandeis/Waltham/Boston. Even the T... especially when compared to the Subway. Just... gah. I have missed my City so much. I thoroughly love Brandeis... but I am a New Yorker, through and through.

Also, I finally got a Gaila wig, and I are excited. All I need now is the green makeup and the gloves, and I am /set/. And I am /excited/ for this too! I'm gonna look so awesome at NYAF.  XD

Todd Haberkorn posted a picture of himself shirtless on his Facebook. I haven't friended him on there, but a friend of mine did, and she linked me to it. Apparantly, he posted it for a bet. And now we're all winners.  8D

Lastly... guess who was at AnimeFest in Dallas? J. Michael Tatum. Guess who wasn't? Me. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.

Ohh, actually lastly... so remember me talking about that Fullmusical Alchemist project I was working on? Well, I FINISHED THE BOOK. Like, writing the script. I'm still editing, but I did it! And now we're casting! So... if you live in the Northeast U.S., particularly if you're in/around Boston and/or New York, and you want to audition... let me know! We're always happy to get more auditioners~

I'll probably be gone for the weekend (it's my brother's Bar Mitzvah, after all, and then tomorrow is also September 11th, and I'm rarely really online then) but on Sunday there's supposed to be WiFi on the bus I'm taking, so hopefully I'll be on then~

"But I'm still real small so/I have to use my intellect/To earn respect/And knock 'em flat!"

What you see above there is a possible quote from a project my friend Wesley and I are working on. Which is pretty awesome. Sing it to "I Can Do That" from A Chorus Line. It'll be "Fullmusical Alchemist". And we're pretty excited for it.

So Otakon was last weekend. Hggrnnn IT WAS SO AWESOME. I can't go into all of it, but...
-The pre-reg line on Thursday was so quick!! It meant I got to screw around as Liz for the rest of the evening without standing around on line.
-Voice actors are the most amazing people ever.
-They really do wander around the Dealer's Room and Artist's Alley when they're not at panels.
-They really are totally cool with fans (such as myself) coming up to them in said Dealer's Room/Artist's Alley and being all "skdfjd I LOVE YOU CAN I GIVE YOU A HUG AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU."
-I'm going to marry J. Michael Tatum and Todd Haberkorn one day now. They don't know it yet. But I will.
-sdflkdj VOICE ACTORS AFTER DARK. I am returning to Otakon next year, if only to go to this panel again. IT IS JUST THAT AWESOME.
-My Uzuki cosplay clearly isn't as done as I thought it was. But my America is still fun to run around in!
-Evacucon 2010, what the hell?
-Hrrghhhhnnnn THE HETALIA DUB. MADE OF WIN.
-Hrrghhhhnnnn THE HETALIA VAS. MADE OF WIN.
-At some con soon (possibly NYAF?) I will be... Colbertica. Yes. Stephen Colbert!America.
-People DO recognize me as Juliet! They do! They do!
-That "people" category includes J. Michael Tatum.
-It's more fun to do Juliet when you have other Romeo X Juliet cosplayers with you. Like a friend of mine cosplaying the Red Whirlwind.
-Dubbing panels are also made of win.
-OTAKON OVERALL IS MADE OF WIN. There is a reason it is the second biggest con in the U.S., and the biggest on the East Coast~

Pics from that will come... soon. As soon as I upload them.

Also, I've been looking up live action things (movies, TV shows) that Todd Haberkorn is in. Because I can. So he was in a short on his YouTube that I watched where he plays a hitman, and all Wesley and I could do as we watched it was gigglefit and make jokes about "LAVI, YOUR SHORT JOKES HAVE GONE TOO FAR!!" or "TONO, YOUR STUNTS HAVE GONE TOO FAR!!" or whatever. But he actually was really good in it. He really can act.

But then we saw that he was in something called "Tin Man". And I was all sldfkjdsl because I'd wanted to see the SyFy miniseries before, but I just... hadn't had the time, so now it was like I had to! So we watched the first hour and a half long episode.

It turns out that he's in some other project called Tin Man, which is 25 minutes long, and not what we spent an hour and a half watching. I still enjoyed the SyFy Tin Man, but... gah, such a fail.  XD

Nonetheless though, he's definately in some film called Fissure, so we Netflixed it, and will be watching it soon.

I have no idea what I'm typing anymore, so I'll shut up now. 'Night everyone!

8 days left. And that is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing thing.

SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT IS HAPPENING IN 8 DAYS.

On the side of my screen, there's an ad for French's. I don't know what French's is, or what it does, or why one would buy it, but... HEEHEE FRANCE. Also, there are potatoes on that ad, and they look delicious.

A RECORD OF WHAT I'VE DONE OVER THE PAST... er... LENGTH OF TIME.
-Began and finished Fullmetal Alchemist.
-Began and caught up to the dub of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and bought the DVDs of the first part. (Episodes 1-13)
-Finished Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler, and watched the first two episodes of Kuroshitsuji II. (Damn, what the hell, Alois?? That's just... no. But UNF CLAUDE. Honestly, overall, not quite as much as Sebastian... but still, unf.)
-Began and finished Baccano. (And now I am totally going to cosplay either Ennis or Mira. I would need someone to be my Firo or Issac, respectively, but... yes.) ([livejournal.com profile] starsandtildes, I hope you're reading this~)

-Pretty much finished my Uzuki cosplay. I just need to dye the gloves and I'll be done. (Jonesy, I hope you're reading this~)
-Set up my plans for Otakon.
-Flailed muchly over a certain VA that everyone knows I'm in love with.

I think I have had a productive... er... length of time.  XD

A fortnight~

I-If I were just one time zone over this would work better. SO LET'S ASSUME THAT IT'S STILL HALF AN HOUR AGO, SO EVERYTHING I'M SAYING IS PERFECT AND RELEVANT AND RIGHT.

And what I'm saying here is...

HAPPY BASTILLE DAY, FRANCE!!  8D

And do you know why I'm so adamant about it this year? Because *ahem* today, it was announced that...

J. MICHAEL TATUM IS PLAYING FRANCE IN THE ENGLISH DUB OF AXIS POWERS HETALIA. AND HE IS AWESOME AND AMAZING AND FULL OF WIN.

France has a new fangirl now. Because he is just so awesome.

...That is all.

"Does no one appreciate my intellect?" -Ox, Soul Eater

...It's not so much that I don't have time, or that there's WAY too much going on to do an actual entry. It's just that I'm too lazy. So... bullet point form time!!

-My, ah, Aunt Flo is god's way of saying he hates me.

-Painkillers are god's way of saying that he loves me.

-Prom is on Saturday!! I'm... not making too big of a deal out of it, to be honest. It's not going to be ~*THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!*~. It's not going to be a really massive affair. I don't think I'm even going to any after-prom parties afterwards. But it should still be fun. And I'm still excited.
-I got my dress back from the tailor's today too. (I bought it for a beautiful price because it was slightly damaged... it cost a ton less to fix it than it would to buy any other dress though.  XD) It looks awesome. I still love it~

-I've been catching up with Soul Eater- I just finished episode 36. (I'm watching it with the dub, since I prefer dubs to subs.)
-Unf, Kid.
-Unf, Stein. (Honestly, I totally didn't expect this one... but there it is. Besides, he's the perfect nice Jewish boy to bring home to my parents. First of all, he's obviously Jewish. His last name is Stein. Plus, he's a doctor! My mother would love him. The whole "love of dissection and dismembering things" thing? Well, everyone has a quirk or two.  XD)
-Unf, Giriko. (What? He's played by J. Michael Tatum. You expect me to not like him?)
-Dammit, Medusa, how... how... just... how?? And yet, I still kinda wanna cosplay her.
-And Marie.
-And keep up my Liz cosplay.
-The third ending? Yep. I love it. Just putting it out there.

-AnimeNEXT in just two weeks!! I massively need to finish my Lenalee... but I'm getting there. I'll probably have it done in time~ Even if I won't have the wig... it'll still pretty much be done.

-And then it'll be on to finishing up Gaila, and then... I don't know. I have a whole ton of people I want to cosplay, but I don't know who will be next after that. I suppose we'll see, won't we?

-...Whoa, this ended up being a lot longer than I expected. I'll stop now. 'Night everybody!!  XD

"You know that we want them. And you know that we need them. We want the pants- YOUR LEATHER PANTS."

...Wow. I have once again done that thing where I've kept up with my flist and everything, and in the process, completely failed to mention anything about my own life. Oops. So, uh... yay bullet point form again?

-I won't be here tomorrow. And not really on Friday either- I'll be on my SEN10R trip to Philadelphia!! (Which really means Six Flags tomorrow~  XD) Seriously though, it'll be awesome, and I'm really excited. I don't know if Philly can handle us though!!

-You guys know how I do comedy? My last show with my Kids 'n Comedy group is this Sunday. It's so... nostalgic. I'm gonna rock it though. Like, it's the first show I'm really going to plan everything out for, start to finish.

-Sunday is Hetalia karaoke. I would say who I'm cosplaying, but it's a surprise, and I'm not gonna ruin it for those on my flist who are going. But... it'll be awesome.  8D

-AnimeNEXT is coming up, and I'm SERIOUSLY excited. Greg Ayres AND LittleKuriboh, all at one con? All I'd need now is for J. Michael Tatum to turn up there too, and my life would be absolutely complete.

-Fff, applying for jobs at my local movie theaters. Because I need a job. Fun times!

-Senior prom is coming up soon too... I have to get my dress taken in and fixed (I bought it slightly damaged, but WAY cheap. Who else here thinks that $31.99 was a good price for a floor length, fancy prom dress?  ^_^) but I'm still really excited. It's also gonna be so awesome!

-I still can't believe that I'm going to Brandeis University come this fall. I mean, I cancelled my enrollment at Trinity and everything, but it's still so... just... unreal to me.
-(On a related note, Bostonians on my flist! What are some good cons in and around Boston? I was at Anime Boston this year, as you know, but... what are the others? Because I'm gonna BE there for four years, and I can't just try to ferry myself to and from New York for my cons. That's just not gonna work.)

...I feel like I had more to say here, but I don't remember it, and besides, it's 11:30 at night, and I still have to finish packing, shower, sleep, and get up at 6:00 AM tomorrow. So uh... I won't REALLY be here, but if anything super important comes up, I have my phone with it's lovely internet access, albiet for a price. But otherwise... see you all on Friday~!

"YOU PERVERT! DON'T EVER CALL ME AGAIN! Unless you really want to...!!"

THEATER PEOPLE ON MY FLIST WHERE ARE YOU.

So. Last night I went out to the ~*theater*~! (I love living in New York.) I went to go see the final preview of Promises, Promises (it opened tonight!) with Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth. Meaning? I saw an awesome Broadway show last night, which included Kristin Chenoweth.

And then, naturally, I hung around the stage door afterwards, and got both of their autographs. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT I HAVE SEAN HAYES' AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH'S AUTOGRAPHS. Yeah. Just sayin'.

I also got to dress up all fancy and pretty too.  8D

...</ bragging>

No, really, I'm done being obnoxious. I promise!

For you non-theater people on my flist...

Been watching Spice & Wolf recently, and it's... aiight. It's not awesome, but it's not completely terrible either. Of course, I am more than slightly biased because J. Michael Tatum speaks for pretty much all of it. It's a little confusing and weird, and I'm not entirely sure what's going on half of the time, but the characters are fun (Especially the money-dealer!! Oh man, I love him.) and I absolutely adore each and every VA in it. I mean, I usually adore the FUNimation VAs, but still.  XD

I'm probably going to go to Trinity College, come fall. Unless I get into Brandeis, since I was wait-listed there, but... it looks like it's gonna be Trinity.

Sakura Matsuri is next weekend!! Show of hands- who's going/excited?  8D

I had my show today, which was cool, but I realized... my last show with Kids 'n Comedy is next month. That's so weird... makes me feel so old...

Also, just one last thing I wanted to mention. It was pointed out to me in my last entry that some of the stuff I said about self-esteem and people who don't have much of it either potentially was, or flat out was hurtful and insulting... and I just wanted to say I'm sorry for that. That's not at all what I'd intended, and if you were hurt by that, I feel so horribly, I can't even begin to express it. You all mean the world to me, and I feel awful that I might have even potentially hurt any of you. I don't even know what to say, so just... I'm really, really sorry.  :/

On cosplay and cons and Soul Eater and stuff.

My brother was having a temper tantrum a little while ago... but he's quieted down now. I guess he's gone to sleep... finally. He hasn't had a tantrum like that in a while... by which I mean a whole few months... but he was screaming and crying and slamming doors this time. *sighs* I wonder if my parent's realize just how much more they let him get away with than they did with me when I was his age? I mean, I recognize that he's got issues, but... I wonder if the thought even crosses their minds?

I HATE DETAILING I HATE DETAILING I HATE DETAILING I HATE DETAILING. I HATE DETAILING. In other news, I'm finally nearly done with my Juliet blouse. Just need to finish the sleeves now... AND THAT DAMN NECKLINE.

On the bright side... I'll be able to make it to Anime Boston!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me~ Well, maybe you do... but then you know how happy I am about it and how ridiculously awesome that is!!!  8D

So I finished xxxHOLiC, which was awesome. Domeki is just made of sexy and awesome and win. And I kinda want to cosplay Yuko... just for the sheer awesome of it. Just sayin'.

Also, I started Soul Eater. Now, I've only just started it, but... there are some series that I don't even realize that I like until they're practically over. Soul Eater is not one of those series. Soul Eater is just made of plain awesome. And I totally want to cosplay Liz and Patty with Wesley now...

A-And hngh... Death the Kid, why so sexy?? I don't even understand this... I mean, he's spazzy and obsessive overy symmetry and everything, and he's not the J. Michael Tatum character... in fact, he's the Todd Haberkorn character, who I almost never fall for... but then he picks up Liz and Patty in that sexy upside-down way and it just made of sexy and I can't really care anymore. ...There's a reason I want to cosplay Liz and Patty. And I will never hold a gun in the same way again. Nor will I see the number 8 in the same way again. Damn, this series is just awesome.

So I heard what my superlative for my yearbook is today. I was voted Most Likely to Win an Emmy. I don't really think this surprises anyone. But it's still a nice distinction to have~  XD

...Right. I'm done now.
