Updates: I'm not dead! (gasp)
2 min read
No, really, I'm not.
The reason I have been "dead" around here is because I have actually been in the process of moving my account (so please don't freak out if you have been removed from my watchlist!). I know I promised that I would stop changing my name and I am sorry for any inconveniences, but this is an alias that I have not used for quite a long time and I think it's time to drop it, so I registered a new account to further my de-association with this name. Actually, I registered two new accounts here for organization purposes, kyouton and osakan. So which one should you watch if you do plan to re-add me? kyouton because that is my primary account where I post all of my illustrations, original and fanart, whereas osakan is dedicated to everything else - primarily graphic & web design but also everything else (such as cosplay). And if you're an offline friend I will add you at kyouton. I have already migrated my entire watchlist to both accounts, but if you watch me and I haven't added you back yet, don't be afraid to send a note (which account I'll watch you under depends on what you post - if what you primarily post is anything other than illustrations, such as graphic design, you'll be added under osakan).
Oh, and the new names? I admit it - I have this deep infatuation with the Kansai region of Japan, and so I named my two new accounts after my favorite cities from the region, Kyouto and Oosaka ;D osakan, by the way, is actually meant to be pronounced "oh-sah-kahn" instead of "oh-sah-kuhn" like you would in English to describe a person from Osaka ;D

Last night, I went to my first, and last, Harry Potter Midnight Release Party.
I'm regretting that I didn't participate in any of the activities that they had available; I wish they had a costume contest, but that was at Borders rather than Barnes and Noble. At the same time, I felt great because I was getting a lot of compliments for my Cho Chang costume, for which pictures will be posted later from the Order of the Phoenix premiere once they're developed (yes, it's taken that long because I'm so lazy). I was surprised at how many people were wearing costumes, after the Order of the Phoenix midnight premiere I thought I was going to be the only one cosplaying. But the people who are at the midnight release really are the big time fans, I mean, there were people screaming and cheering thirty minutes before the midnight. The fun part was doing the count down to midnight in the very last ten seconds. The not so fun part was waiting for my book and I wish I had pre-ordered.
500 PEOPLE HAD PREORDERED. IN ONE STORE. Or maybe it was 600. BUT IT WAS STILL A DAMN BIG NUMBER AND I HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE HOUR TO GET MY COPY. The 500 people isn't even including the people who picked up a book without a reservation. I didn't even think that Barnes and Noble could fit that many people. Kiyama and I were already bored stiff by the time they were letting people pick up their books, and the only thing keeping me awake at 1AM was the fact that I wanted my book. If not for meeting Harry Potter fans as rabid as I am and hanging out with Kiyama and her friends I would have almost wished I waited the next day and bought it cheap at Target. But since it's a series I grew up with, I thought it would be great to have it at midnight and finish it right away. I still can't believe it's the last one, even as I'm reading it right now, and almost refuse to believe it. I could always read the series again, sure, but it won't be the same knowing it's really over. The only thing consoling me is that there are still two more movies to be adapted. I can't wait for the next movie because it will have plenty of Tom Riddle for me to fangirl over in it (*___*)
AND LIEK KIYAMA TELL YOUR FRIEND HE'S THE MOST AWESOMEST AND SWEETEST GUY EVER. Seriously. I felt bad he wouldn't take my change, so thank him for me thousands of times over and give him a hug from me that I should have given him yesterday. Even if it was only a dollar, it totally made my night (*___*)

Failure. Forgive me for not having "AWEZOME PHOTOSHOP SKILLZ11!!"
Not that my works have not been previously deleted at Minitokyo, and in fact, some of the deletions I agree with. But it seems that no matter how hard I try, I will never have the "AWEZOME PHOTOSHOP SKILLZ11!!" that are required to post anything. Maybe it's childish of me to feel this way, but it makes me realize how lacking I am in Photoshop. Still, I can't help but feeling angry because the deletion messages imply that the reason a wallpaper was deleted was because it either violated the policy or had little effort put into it. Whatever their policy is, wallpapers are something I like to put as much effort into as possible to the best of my personal ability with Photoshop, and I am so terribly sorry it isn't the elite of the elite in Photoshop skills. Another thing I don't understand is why the wallpapers weren't deleted sooner, because they were in the gallery for quite a while.
I even considered submitting scans instead of wallpapers because I often import manga. But to be honest, I would much rather have my account deleted because Minitokyo has made me feel pretty terrible for the last time. Is it silly to be upset about this, especially since it is the Internet? Perhaps, and feel free to scold and chastise me, and even I realize it might seem childish because I understand wanting to have a certain standard for quality. But it's how I feel about it and would rather not associate there anymore. (._.)
Fangasm. Instead of depressing myself with my inadequate Photoshop ability, I decided to fangasm instead [i](gasp)[/i]. I recently opened a TeniPuri multimedia archive on LJ and I would link to it here, except for the fact that -- yes, I am getting a domain name and I am considering uploading the multimedia to that site instead. I mean it this year; I have actually discussed it with my parents and my mother says she will buy it. The only rules are that she wants to see my sites before I post them, and while it grinds my last nerve that she wants to hold my hand and walk me through the Internet even now at seventeen years old, it's a small price to pay. Now I have a creative outlet to fangasm about The Prince of Tennis. I already posted a screenshot of the layout and it's in my gallery -- so yes, it will be a TeniPuri-centered domain, specifically St. Rudolph.
WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY THE ARTBOOK AT THE LAST ANIME CONVENTION, AMANDA? WHY? I am sure someone has uploaded it but I would much rather hold it in my own hands and be able to scan it so I can use the images in a layout and say, "I made this layout on my own right down to the image!" On top of that, I still need to buy that boxset and Volume 19 of the manga. And I want the fanbook. THE FANBOOK. I also really, really want to watch the Yamabuki Side Match Feat. St. Rudolph -- certainly not just because it features St. Rudolph. How can you think that? I am not that obsessed with that school. Ugh! [/fangirl] Unfortunately, if it was ever on YouTube it was deleted. I would import the DVDs, but Japanese DVDs are teh expensive.
Oh, and, uh, I still need to draw something for Mizuki's birthday. I was lost on cloud nine on Sunday so I didn't get around to it and have been obsessed with the boy since. To an almost unhealthy point, I would say. Nfu. Much to Miko's dismay. My online TeniPuri fans should feel blessed not to have to deal with my Mizuki!Fandom offline because it's something you probably won't want to deal with. x] Actually, I fear the offline fandom of many TeniPuri fans because I haven't met many others in real life. But that's what anime conventions are for! If I can go to Anime Expo next year maybe I will see for myself…

You randomly list 12 characters you are fangirl/boyish about or just like. So for me….
1. Okita Souji (Peacemaker Kurogane)
2. Mizuki Hajime (The Prince of Tennis)
3. Atobe Keigo (The Prince of Tennis)
4. Fuji Shuusuke (The Prince of Tennis)
5. Echizen Ryouma (The Prince of Tennis)
6. Kikumaru Eiji (The Prince of Tennis)
7. Kirihara Akaya (The Prince of Tennis)
8. Kisarazu Atsushi (The Prince of Tennis)
9. Kisarazu Ryou (The Prince of Tennis)
10. Yanagisawa Shinya (The Prince of Tennis)
11. Kamio Akira (The Prince of Tennis)
12. Seta Soujirou (Rurouni Kenshin)
Uwa… 80% of the list is Prince of Tennis… but then again, what more is there that I am obsessing over at the moment?
01. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach? Kikumaru, because Kamio doesn't seem the type to have enough patience to deal with students because I am sure they would back-talk him all of the time. Not to mention, he would sit at his desk listening to his MP3 player more than his lectures, so Kikumaru would be a cute, fun, and awesome teacher. I think he would teach home economics because he seems good with household things because he takes care of like, seven people including himself and his cakes and sweets look delicious!
02. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot? Urgh, why did this question have to be for Fuji-han? By answering this honestly, I know that mikosan13 will tease me, but aside from him being really sweet and adorable at times, I guess he can be pretty sexy too.
03. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed? Seta-han would probably send Kisarazu-han on a mission that would somehow help Shishio achieve his goal in conquering Japan, but Kisarazu would probably get distracted by Yanagisawa or his brother on the way and forget about it.
04. What is or would be 9's favourite book? Er, I have no idea. Neither of the Kisarazu twins are very open about their personal lives and are rather distant, and the only thing I know he likes to do is watch movie. Maybe he would read a book that was the original source of the story for his favorite movie ~ !
05. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around? AHAHAHA. AHAHA … no. Mizuki-han thinks everyone should listen to him because of his "infallible" data, and Kikumaru-han listens to nobody but Oishi-han.
06. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10? No, because they would both harass him daily.
07. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss? Kirihara-han would spend most of the dinner arguing about how many deserts he can eat, and Atobe-sama would probably be annoyed be Seta-han's constant smiling, and Seta-han would attempt to make pleasant conversation. Well, if you can pleasantly discuss assassination and coup d'état plots in modern Japan, anyway…
08. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens? Atobe-sama will win because he is Atobe-sama and nobody can defeat his prowess. XD;
09. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back? He would find ways to make his life miserable, but it wouldn't really work unless he could somehow convince Hijikata-fukubuchou to tell Okita-han to return it. Okita-han would love to steal it just to tease Kisarazu ~
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire. Aha, I can barely invent titles for fanfiction and my brain is kaput right now from Geometry homework. XD;
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together? I would find a benefit for both of them out of the deal, which would probably involve bothering or teasing somebody else.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along? I would probably too shy to speak most of the time [>////<] But if we did something fun together, I think it would be great unless he made a comment that made him seems like a jerk [>_>]
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be? He wouldn't listen to me, but I would probably ask him to sing something just because his voice is so wonderful [*_*]
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11? Nobody on my friends list even really draws TeniPuri except for me and mikosan13.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be? Fuji-han, because if he didn't Fuji could make his life a living hell and he wouldn't hesitate to make that happen.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle? Mizuki's scenario says I will totally defeat you dane!
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose? Er… I dunno. Kokoro no Hadaka from Rurouni Kenshin, maybe?
18. 1, 6 and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it? Seta would let Kikumaru and Okita fight over it, and Okita would probably win because he has a sword.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10? Nfu. My data says that you and I are 100% compatible.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for? Hitting someone who annoyed him in the face with a tennis ball!
21. What is 6's secret? I can picture it being something like, he likes to wear pink aprons while he cooks!
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first? Kamio would finish last because he would spend more time changing his songs on his MP3 player despite his speed, and he might get distracted if he happens to pass a music store.
23. 3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable? Atobe-sama, because I don't picture him as a liar, and Kirihara-han would totally lie if the issue was something that would get him in trouble.
24. 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
I have no idea who would read it and I have no idea what the title would be… XD;; (brain dead)

Academics (I fail miserably.) I think that because of school, I notice my ego more and more because I've gotten so used to being the best in the class. I've always said I'd never let things like that get to my head but, kya, I fail at it. I and over half of my AP History class pretty much failed our essays and we're getting a chance to rewrite it, and I can't stand the fact that two of my friends did better than me… maybe that smart Asian stereotype is starting to get to me. But seriously, I've even disappointed myself. I know I can't be the best all the time and that I won't always get an A, but that's just my ego that needs deflating. And I reaaaaaally don't want to rewrite that essay. I'd rather play Katamari or watch Kare Kano, darnit!
Sports (I'll bet you thought I hated that word.) I don't know how I let them do it, so I'm going to blame Konomi Takeshi-sensei for this one. Somehow I let two of my friends talk me into trying out for the tennis team, and I know that even though I won't make the team (yes, I said I won't make the team; this is coming from somebody who is just happy that she can hit the ball! [x_x]), apparently they train you during the spring to get better, which is what I need. THIS TENIPURI OBSESSION OF MINE IS TOTALLAY UNHEALTHY!!!1111. Not really, I need exercise anyways instead of sitting at the computer all day…!
Music (I hate you, Bach.) Bach, I like your music. Bach, I hate playing your music. Bach, why do you hate violins? (><) Oh, is it because you're a pianist? But I'm a pianist too, so why do you hate me? Everywhere I go, I seem to have to play Bach and his music is a pain to have to play on the violin. On the bright side, I'm in the All-City Music Festival again this year! So I won't be online for the first half of the day next Saturday because I'll be there instead. Next year, I'm aiming for first violin! Yeah! (Most of you probably have no idea what the heck I am talking about, so just regard this as crazy babble. Did I mention I hate playing Bach? >D) Talent show (I have no idea when sign-ups are.) I want to be in it and I have an idea on what song to sing, but my school never tells you when the sign-up dates are. How annoying!
Art (I want to enroll in classes again.) My art's been improving, mostly thanks to the doodling I've been doing during class. That work in progress? I have no idea if I'll even finish that one; the truth is, I like and hate digital coloring. I'd rather do everything by hand, but Copic Markers are extremely expensive. (TT) I feel like I'm getting somewhere with my art, but at the same time, I don't. I think it's because I don't spend enough time on my art… I always want it to see how it will look finished, so I rush it. Bleargh. I'm sorry I haven't posted so much anymore, but I've been spending so much more time. I want to actually post something that I like, rather than posting something just to post it, so I've been studying composition and the like.
Sports (I'll bet you thought I hated that word.) I don't know how I let them do it, so I'm going to blame Konomi Takeshi-sensei for this one. Somehow I let two of my friends talk me into trying out for the tennis team, and I know that even though I won't make the team (yes, I said I won't make the team; this is coming from somebody who is just happy that she can hit the ball! [x_x]), apparently they train you during the spring to get better, which is what I need. THIS TENIPURI OBSESSION OF MINE IS TOTALLAY UNHEALTHY!!!1111. Not really, I need exercise anyways instead of sitting at the computer all day…!
Music (I hate you, Bach.) Bach, I like your music. Bach, I hate playing your music. Bach, why do you hate violins? (><) Oh, is it because you're a pianist? But I'm a pianist too, so why do you hate me? Everywhere I go, I seem to have to play Bach and his music is a pain to have to play on the violin. On the bright side, I'm in the All-City Music Festival again this year! So I won't be online for the first half of the day next Saturday because I'll be there instead.
