D.Gray-man Gathering 2009~!!

[Yuu]

Komui's actually been kinda cool in the recent chapters (although I, personally, can NOT understand why he created Komuvitan D. . .) o.o

And updated xD

I absolutely LOVED the zombie arc. At least I did id until the author completely destroyed it with emo Linalee.
How typical " I'm so week and helpless, and cute and the bad man did awful experiments on me! Lookit my whorish booty shorts! "  ::)

First of all, Allen is the main character. Only he's allowed to emo like that. S
Secondly, .I'm sick of annoying 'tragic' female characters.
It doesn't help that i pretty much hated her since the moment she showed up.

On a much more random note. Downtown is crazy. Apparently there was a bank robbery and shoot-out. I was stuck in class. I did hear the sirens and gunshots, but thats' all. Since it's a class on law I tried to convince the instructor to let us out via ' On-site experiance' btu she didn't go for it. WHY do I always miss the exciting things?!

[Charis]

Blargh.  I'm here at work with an hour and three quarters to go, I'm trying not to fall asleep sitting up, and I've still got sewing to do when I get home to finish up for AX -- plus, of course, things like packing.  And before that, I'm going over to my parents' place to dye up a pair of pants for a cosplay and to bake cookies.  At least I'm getting dinner out of the bargain, I think. :3

I still want to do my Komui cos, but I'm seriously wondering how it'll fare in terms of time.  Oh, well.  Someday.  :D  I <3 mad scientists.

Really random, but I can't believe so many people go to AX o.o I mean, isn't it during the 4th of July??? >_< *has had to celebrate 7.4 with her family ever since she was little*

I never know what I'm going to do for the 4th. Usually nothing because the weather sucks ass.
The goddamend lightning kept me up all bloody night. It hit my building twice!

I vaguely recall walking up and yelling at the thunder to stfu and slamming the door >>

It's still all thunder-ey. STILL!! I could barley hear my instructor!

*Opens window to yell at sky*
"Don't make me come out there!! Wait a minute.. That's no thunder! Its the goddamned Loch-ness monster!! Dammit monster, I aint giivin you no tree fiddy!' *slams window*


Oh..  that reminds me, although I'm not going to expo, it turns out you may not have Yuu to talk to. All that lightening sort of friend my computer >_< It was a piece of shit anyway.

( I really hope someone gets that reference or I'll cry)

[yamaneko]

O__O If it hit your building, how come you aren't fried to a crisp?? Oh, but wait, it's Washington so I guess you guys are armed with those antenna-thingers x3;;

;__; wahhhhhhh

'Cause I'm in-freakin-vincible!  XD

Heh..yea, we do have lightening rods on all tall buildings. You guys don't?

I'm at my friends now. he's trying to fix my computer. 

*Random*
I'm more concerned with getting my book for class. I need to write-up three case briefs by Monday and I don't have the bloody cases!! AAAAAAAHH!

[yamaneko]

Well, not on my HOUSE, cuz my house isn't that tall xD; I've never really noticed, though; I'm blinded everytime I try to look at the top of a tall building/skyscraper D:

o_o And you wonder why college scares me. xD;

Ahaha my computer returns! It's good to have smart friends. XD

lolz that isn't a problem here. There is no sun to blind you.

College really isn't very scary. This is the first collage class I've taken where I've felt challenged and it's part of my law major. It's pretty brutal, but I'm not complaining. I didn't expect it to be a walk in the park.

[Yuu]

OMG dbl post nooo!!

Just pretend you didn't see it.

I went to my old apartment today to get the rest of my stuff when I noticed something that I HAVE to bring to the D Gray-meet.

Last October my grandparents gave me a Hyacinth plant. I LOVE flowers, but I'm eh..not very good with them.  << understatement of the century.

I forgot to take it out of the shade which kind of stunted it's growth. The few flowers it had wilted immediately. My roommate kept getting on my ass for not throwing it out. Because as I still argue " It's NOT dead dammit!"

It was still in my room this morning.  I picked it up and brought it with me to the new apartment. It's sitting on my patio, it just  needs is a little sun. And yes, I'll still have it come Fanime so I'm bringing it with me. XD

[yamaneko]

A. . . plant? o_o WHY. o_O Lol, jkjk, you can bring whatever you want to xD; As long as it doesn't violate the rules of conduct or weapons policy :3 *staff member side coming through*

Also, finally back on the topic of the actual D.Gray-man gathering. . . we have a pick between Monopoly in the Park and Cosplay Chess. Statistics below!! x3 (cuz I got bored enough to actually think it out. . . OMG I THINKED. o_O Thunk? Thank? o_o I dunno; I'm high on sparkling lemonade x] it tasted like Fresca. o_o)

MONOPOLY IN THE PARK:
Pros: close-by, all materials provided already
Cons: not that many people can play at once, someone might be playing on it already (meaning no dibs can be called or anything)

COSPLAY CHESS:
Pros: closer-by than Monopoly in the Park, lots of people can play
Cons: need to talk to Gaming for a board (unless we make one ourselves) and time slot, need to organize teams

So yeah. . . in the case of Cosplay Chess, it's more a problem of whether Gaming will let us ^^;;

Yes, ah..i suppose it is kind of an inside joke really.
I don't know it would just be funny to have everyone yelling at me " Yuu, that flower is DEAD throw it AWAY!" and then get bitched at because "No it isn't dammit!"

Dood Cosplay chess owns the hell out of Monotony any day of the week. Also, no one ever finishes a game of Monopoly.  Everyone will have to leave because it will no doubt coincide with other events.

[Hirotona]

Cosplay chess sounds better?! Though I don't know.... I don't want to do anything too time consuming, espically with the seemingly heavy load of gatherings that day.

Sigh the weather had to be just as bad if not worse then it was in LA : /

[yamaneko]

Okay, so Monopoly = 0, Cosplay Chess = 2? So prolly chess is gonna win ^^;; I shall have a talk with Gaming.

[ToshiX]

so ya back from ax
so ya I'm doing Omega XD

[Charis]

Problem with Cosplay Chess is that you need a LOT of people.  I had much fun with it last Fanime (even if I still fistshake in Yuu's general direction, mwaha), but it's hard to assemble enough people -- we nearly didn't have enough even at the Bleach gathering.

And yeah, also back from AX.  Fwee.  *thud*  Working at convincing my family to come to Fanime next year, which would be fun and mean that I'd be more likely to do D.Gray, so yay.

[Hirotona]

The problem as I see it in my case at least will be the amount of time this all takes, espically if I do end up getting my own table in the AA and want to sell my own prints and possibly offer commissions. I'm already getting alot of my time ate up with other cosplay meets and I have at least one more the same day of this one.

So what did you both think of AX anyway if you mind me asking?

[Charis]

I found AX itself pretty dull -- but, as my Cross-Kaasan pointed out, it's much more of an industry con than a fan con, and as a fan, I find that pretty meh.  The con centre was okay, the organisation (aside from photoshoot locations, which were confusing to remember because none of the info booths had a map) far better than last year, and aside from what seemed like a relatively few incidents, staff was okay.  Personally, I could have used a hell of a lot more A/C, but that might've had something to do with wearing fifteen BILLION layers of clothing for most of con.  Oh, cosplay.  XD  Overall, they carried it off a lot better than I expected them to; I don't know if I'll be going back, in all fairness, but that's based far more on who I know who will be going and can room with than anything else -- I have no motivation to go by myself.

However, I go to cons more for company than for anything else, and I can say with perfect surety that the company I kept was all kinds of awesome.

[yamaneko]

Yes, Cosplay Chess would take more people AND time D:

The thing is that SO MANY gatherings are happening on Sunday that a lot of people will probably be going through more than one costume that day, thus don't have enough time to sit around and play chess in their D.Gray-man one. . .

My thought was that maybe we could have D.Gray-man Cosplay Chess on another, less-busy day, but that would kinda kill the point. . . plus, as I see it, we might not have enough people even IF everyone stayed D: (but, then again, who knows how many people are assembling on cosplay[dot]com, so. . .)

[Hirotona]

More A/C sure would have been nice yeah @___@ I wouldn't have needed to switch out of my Shinpachi cosplay half way through the day if it was cooler.

And I go for pretty much the same reason and since I got to meet a lot of awesome new friends overall the con = very awesome. Main thing that sucked about AX was none of my friends wanted to do anything during the nights/later evening of the cons so that was pretty boring, at Fanime I had fun all hours.

[Charis]

Urgh, gad.  I was wearing Unohana two days, and the other two was the dry run for my Juuni Kokki cosplay, which is EVEN MORE FABRIC.  I was an amazingly puddleriffic 'Ris.  I will give them props for better A/C than last year, though.

(Amusingly, despite epic fail of panels and stuff, I didn't get to sleep once before about one in the morning at con, which is late as all get out for me and mine.  Kaasan usually falls over by noon, but we kept going out for food or hanging out or things like that.)

Gotta get sewing on Miranda this weekend.  Spazz, flail. But shopping now!
