Don't be bashful. Don't be shy. It's time to unabashedly let it out! So be messy. Be imperfect. Be liberated and free. Be what you are. Be human. Blow it loud and proud. With KLEENEX Tissue.

I swear to God this is what it says on the bottom of my Kleenex box. I don't need you to empower me, Kleenex box. I just need you to put my snot in. I had you sitting on my lap so I could properly curl up in a ball of misery and wait for sweet, merciful death to come, but now you're kind of creeping me out, dude.

You know, when you have Space AIDS/monkeypox/SARS/a low temperature and the beginnings of a head cold/bird flu/the Ebola virus/whatever and you're lightheaded and sleepy and having trouble focusing, this is the last thing you want to hear:

"Guess what your uncle saw in the woods today! An emu!"

The last thing I needed was to spend about 30 seconds trying to figure out whether or not I was hallucinating on top of everything else. Turns out I wasn't, which makes things worse. That means that right now, somewhere in the woods outside my house, there is a feral emu.

I CAN NEVER GO OUTSIDE AGAIN.

If this was an anime, I'd be making jokes about being "too old for this" and so on. Unless it was, like, 00. 00 is old people-friendly.

Oh God, as of a few minutes ago, I'm as old as Ham...

D-does this mean I have to go hit on kitchen appliances now? I mean, I'm a Virgo, too...

...

Well, there was that one espresso machine.

...

Argh.

An observation: Finding a tupperware container full of lemon jello is a much, much more pleasant experience than looking in the refrigerator and seeing a tupperware container full of mysterious yellow liquid.

( I swear there's an actual story to go with this, but... )

One day I will write of their epic cross-country road trip. One day. Maybe. Or maybe I'll just do more stupid Paint pictures.

I LOVE ROY MUSTANG.

JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

( Which no one will get... )

I think it's funny...

Oh, the things I notice when it's almost 4 in the morning and no one is around who would appreciate it.

Hamada Kenji = Takami Ichirou = Patrick Colasour
Miyano Mamoru = Sakuraba Haruto = Setsuna F Seiei
Irino Miyu = Kobayakawa Sena = Saji Crossroad

And now all I can see is Takami all "WHYYYYYYYYYYY???????? ;________________;" as Sena and Sakuraba float in Magic Naked Sparkle Land together. Or possibly Patrick lecturing Setsuna on how they have to become the GREATEST COMBINATION IN ALL OF FOOTBALL. THEY ARE SPECIAL. PATRICK IS GOING TO THROW THE BALL AND IT IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AWESOME PASS EVER BECAUSE HE IS PATRICK COLASOUR: ACE OF OUJOU HIGH. And Setsuna would probably just stare blankly at him and watch the ball as it flies across the field, preferably hitting Saji in the face.

I realize I could have just drawn this in Paint and it probably would have been funnier, but it is 4 in the morning (almost) and the novelty will probably have worn off by tomorrow. Also spiky/messy hair overload.

It's sort of sad that this is where my brain went instead of the more obvious Miyano/Irino gattai joke...

Oh, dub of Yami no Matsuei... I think I've seen these episodes 500 times but I never get tired of them. I don't know what possessed the SciFi Channel to air delicious gay dead guys, but I'm not going to argue with them.

(SEXY CHICKEN VOICE!!! ♥)

EDIT:
Okay, so they just cut out the part where Hisoka gets drunk and passes out? I know they chop things up when they air them, but...um...they just cut straight from him putting the dim sum with the wasabi on it in his mouth to him asleep in bed. That somehow made it creepier and gayer, especially since they haven't edited the dialogue and they have Tsuzuki saying "I guess you're too young to be drinking!" in the morning. Uh...yeah. Bad call there, SciFi.

His birthday is March 3rd. March 3rd. I think the only reason Koyasu isn't in 00 is because he's secretly writing it.

IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY MY BIRTHDAY AND I AM OFFICIALLY REALLY OLD.

COMMENCE CELEBRATION.

It's been ages since I changed my AIM screenname. I did flip back and forth between a few there for a while, but they were still old names. So I went and got a new one, mostly because a) I'm a great big dork and b) I want to apply to an RP somewhere SOMEDAY and I figure a name that's not obviously a character's name might make me look a little cooler to the whippersnappers that run them these days. Not that my ultimate choice is cool AT ALL.

So, um, HarmonicaCannon, you guys. If you get the reference at all, I will be very, very surprised. Happy, but very surprised. (Also, I love that if you put "harmonica cannon" into Google Image Search, about half the results are half-naked pictures of characters from Gurren Lagann. What.)

So sanada, roundtuit, and I can do...what we do. Whatever that is.

I guess I should make a post about Otakon and stuff, since I went.

I, um, went to Otakon and stuff.

I don't really have anything to say beyond what's already been said (Concert was awesome! Want to punch giant robots in the face! Need to steal Yamaguchi Kappei! Need Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt for super voice actor breeding program!) I didn't really buy a whole lot of stuff in the dealers room, but my collection of Allelujahs is growing. It took a lot of willpower not to buy the big one. Mai waifu. ♥

I guess that's about it. I fail at update, as usual.

I figure if I write this down in enough places, I won't forget to do all of it...

Andy
Shirt - in sanada's hands.
Pants and shoes - whatever
Squeezy bottles - check, probably going to leave the clear one empty
Sunglasses - check
Hat - acquired, requires re-ribboning
Ribbon for hat - check

Kinue
Shirt A - need to remove belt loops
Shirt B - two in case I want to wear it Thursday, check
Pants - two pairs, check
Shoes - don't look anything like hers, but are comfortable so screw it, check
Hair - as short as I'm willing to cut it

Hazel
Need to repaint Jew Bling

I was going to work on things today, but I figure getting my hair cut and buying shoes counts. It's not like I have a lot to do, mostly little maintenancy things. The only pain is going to be the hat and possibly finding a way to get my hair to do what I want it do. That's impossible no matter how long or short it is, though. Hooray for low-pressure cosplay. It's kind of a relief after so many cons of having to run down a checklist to make sure I had every single tiny piece of my costumes. I really don't plan on ever cosplaying Ganju again for that very reason. I think there are somewhere around sixteen pieces to that one and amazingly I've only ever forgotten one once. Of course, there aren't that many pieces to Hazel, but I think I've almost forgotten to pack the cape every single time.

No more car. Hate car. Don't want to be in car no more.

Only in Ohio. Going to Wyoming. Have to come back after that.

*cry*

Okay, so sanada keeps bugging me to post this, so here it is.

At some point, a discussion of Miyano Mamoru and his love of exclamation points led to the development of the theory that Japanese people are actually sophisticated robots piloted by cats. Most are only controlled by one cat, but the number of cats necessary to control a catbot taller than 5'5" grows exponentially. That is the basis for this bizarro world.

Mind you these are only my bare bones notes. A lot has since been elaborated on, especially concerning the crazy adventures of Super Koyasu and Miki and their Cardboard Box of Fail.

( The truth about many seiyuu revealed! )

We are sad, pathetic human beings.

I mean, they're just HanaKimi drama CDs, but still...here they are...

My Personality

Neuroticism	43
Extraversion	1
Openness to Experience	29
Agreeableness	0
Conscientiousness	46

You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge, however you feel enraged when things do not go your way. You are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter if you think you are being cheated. You get overwhelmed by too much noise and commotion and do not like thrill-seeking activities. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You are willing to take credit for good things that you do but you don't often talk yourself up much, however you are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.

This test is pretty damn accurate. I like how the "Agreeableness" thingy is completely nonexistent. Also the mention of justice.

a. Post a list of 25 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.

( I am so lame. )

( So what if I didn't bother to color in the background... )

That's drawn from memory, which is kind of sad. Well, if you have any idea what I'm drawing.
