Get to know your fellow forum members~! ♥

ispyangie · January 19, 2011, 04:25:07 PM

^ This is actually the first time in my 4(5 this year) years of attending fanime, that I'm actually participating in the forums. I registered an account in 09 but again, this year & the next coming years I'm trying to be more active.
< I hope you do get to attend Fanime this year! ^_^ Welcome back, btw.
> I'm way too excited for fanime this year since I finally got a hotel! No more commuting back and forth from Hayward to San Jose.
V What are you cosplaying as this year?

c2chaos · January 20, 2011, 12:21:35 AM

^ If I cosplay, most likely, I will be cosplaying as a Vocaloid, Kaito.
< Has been hibernating from the forums. heheh. (^_^)
> Panel registrations are up and I'm thinking whether or not if I should go through with the "Dating Game Show" panel. It's been a while since I last looked in the thread and I still think it's missing something. (-_-)
v What's your favorite part about Fanime?

Alyxiane · January 20, 2011, 06:33:24 AM

^ Just the fact where I can let loose (appropriately of course) and be freely among those of the same interest. And of course the cosplay. :D
< If you're Kaito then I can be your Miku. XD Given if I can afford the wig that is.
> I wasn't really planning on wearing wigs for my cosplays this year (yay having the same hair as the characters I planned :P). But I'm participating on a Vocaloid group cosplay event in March where I volunteered to be Miku. ... I'm thinking of some possible karaoke so I can show off my possible Nico Nico-worthy voice. >w>;
V Any outside cosplay gatherings planned?

otakuya · January 20, 2011, 06:55:51 AM

^ If you mean cosplaying not at a convention then no. Not really in that sort of thing.

< Plans to wear several wigs for cosplay.

> Speaking of cosplay, I do still plan to cosplay, but nothing too extreme or even anime/game related. I'll let you know when my helmet comes in the mail soon.

V Do you have a room for Fanime already? If not, what's your housing plans?

c2chaos · January 20, 2011, 11:23:29 AM

^ I don't have a room yet. I'm on staff and still waiting for staff rooms to go up, but staff rooms go up when the division heads submit an official head count for their department. Rovers is still recruiting so I figure that it'll take a bit of time.
< Neither anime nor game...maybe manga or comic related? Or maybe with the Fanime theme this year, steampunk!
> Among all my friends, I'm the only one that's really into Vocaloids, so I would definitely appreciate a having a Miku around.
V What's your budget for Fanime?

DarkMoonlitStar · January 20, 2011, 11:43:36 AM

^ Gah! That's tough but in simpler terms I guess it's
$45 Badge
~$50 Hotel (splitting with roommates)
$200+ Spending Money on stuff
$60-100 Food
$50-100 on Backup money
< is the only one among his friends to like Vocaloid and would like a Miku around x3
> Cosplay plans for now (may be adjusted due to gathering times): Mon.&Fri. Celty Sturluson from DRRR, Sat. Tifa Lockheart from FFVII Advent Children, Sun. Lenalee Lee from D Gray Man (3rd Uniform). I'm hoping my shoes don't kill my feet this year...like last year ^_^"'
V Did you and your friends plan a group cosplay together?

jimsha · January 20, 2011, 01:04:35 PM

^ I have no friends and I don't cosplay, so....
< Will cosplay two characters (Celty and Tifa) I actually know! Will need to get pictures of you if I make it up there this year. xD
> Slowly getting into cosplay photography but needs a better camera.
v Have you checked out my cosplay photos on Facebook? xD

lol, that's not the real question. If you cosplay, have you done any photoshoots, and if you don't cosplay, do you take pictures? Post links if you got 'em!

ispyangie · January 20, 2011, 04:20:56 PM

^ Not professionally from a photographer, but I wish! Haha. I usually just get pictures with people who ask for them. Plus, your facebook doesn't let me view your photos. ):
< I should book you for this year, if you have a free time slot. O:
> I totally need to start saving up for Fanime. -__- I have a habit of blowing money whenever I get it.
V Are you going to Anime Expo or Comic Con this year?

c2chaos · January 20, 2011, 11:09:08 PM

^ I'd like to go to Comic Con someday but not this year, and it looks like there is almost no chance of me going to Anime Expo this year. I did go to the one last year though.
< Lives from paycheck to paycheck.
> I've been doing a good job saving money but something always comes up and *whoosh* the money is all gone. I need a raise or a second job. :(
v What is your dream job?

DarkMoonlitStar · January 21, 2011, 01:27:29 AM

^I'll have the ability to help you breathe, to keep your heart beating and to alleviate the sickness. I have the power to save many lives as a Pharmacist. If what I do can make a difference, then I'd be happy to be able to help many others for a change. This dream will be reality. (That was my 3 sentence entry to a weekly 3 sentence essay scholarship which happened to use that exact question. It also limited the entry to 280 characters. Didn't win sadly)
< saves but happens to blow his money away (I know how that is...that's how I managed to "afford" my Celty cosplay)
> has to start going back to the community college life on the 24th and is not excited about it..I can't wait for my cosplay to be completed though! And can't wait for Fanime of course!
V What's the best storyline you've ever read/seen in a manga/anime/video game/etc?

c2chaos · January 21, 2011, 11:20:43 AM

^ That's a hard pick. There are so many good ones...uhm...Chobits.
< Not excited about school. What's the problem? It sounded like you were really enjoying it, or are you having the winter break blues?
> I want to move to the Bay Area (or close to it) but I need to do a lot of preparing and I would have to go back job hunting again and I heard that's it's not as easy finding one there compared to where I live. Also, my friends and family won't be too happy to see me go. *sigh* (-_-)
V What is something that amazed you recently?

DarkMoonlitStar · January 21, 2011, 03:31:55 PM

^ I'm amazed at how much I like the author Mizushiro Setona.
< Wants to move into the Bay Area (haha I'm in the East Bay =P)
> I only enjoy my free time as a college student but this upcoming semester I'll be taking harder classes and so on, so....yeah...I probably should've spent my break more productively and had fun more often. But there's that saying that ya "coulda, shoulda, woulda" are just excuses for what's already done.
V How do you think your life would change if you were the opposite sex?

AuroraDreamer · January 21, 2011, 04:05:49 PM

^ I would be named Robert Jr. and might be spoiled like my brother. Totally different person.
< good luck with the classes :)
> doesn't want to work in like 5-10 minutes
V Same question

c2chaos · January 21, 2011, 11:12:11 PM

^ I never really thought about that. If I were born a girl...I think I'd have one of my sister's name. I'd probably be studying to become a nurse or something similar and I'd probably be married by now. :P
< Didn't want to go to work.
> I think I'll start talking to my friends about moving. I wonder what their reactions will be like.
V Where would you like to live?

DarkMoonlitStar · January 22, 2011, 12:34:35 PM

^ I'm actually pretty content living where I'm at right now in a tiny island right next to Oakland. Though honestly I would like to have my own room for privacy if my family were to move somewhere else in the area.
< wants to see his friends' reactions when he starts discussing about moving
> Needs to be better at making friends...Some people I just hit it off with just fine but most of the time I'm only hanging out with friends I already have. I'm sorta in between social and antisocial but leaning more to being antisocial... It's still funny to see people's reactions when they find out about how unique I am =3
V What do you think is hardest part about starting a friendship?

Alyxiane · January 22, 2011, 12:48:15 PM

^ Actually saying hi and carrying on a conversation. It's a wonder how I'm able to maintain close friends.
< Half social and half anti-social. I'm kind of the same way too. xD
> I can guess part of my "socially awkwardness" is due to my mild Aspergers. But then again, I grew up never playing any sports and/or going out and hang out with friends. I just stayed at home and preferred to be away from my family most of the time. So I never really developed the social and interpersonal skills as much as I should during those years.
V Same question. o3o

otakuya · January 22, 2011, 11:33:59 PM

^ Find and gaining enough trust, and knowing when you have enough of it to share.

< "Aspergers? Isn't that what makes my wee smell funny? ... Oh, wait, that's asparagus." - James May, Top Gear.
:D (sorry, just can't help it)

< Seriously, I know a thing or two about aspergers syndrome and it's not exactly a laughing manner. How are you getting it checked out? I know of a place that specializes in teens with aspergers (among other things) and building social relationships. Let me know if you want more info on it. (Unfortunately, I used to work there for a time last year but got let go...let's not get too much into that)

> I'm hoping I could live on my own soon and start a brand new independant life. To do that, I may need a new job or at least some kind of promotion or raise. It all starts with me saving money though...and with Fanime a few months away, there goes that idea...

V What is your dream job? (vs.) And what job do you have right now?

Alyxiane · January 23, 2011, 12:37:42 AM

^ 3d animation artist. I don't have a job right now but I need to start looking for one since I'm now 16 and such.
< Really wants to save up money. I want to move out some time after high school graduation but I highly have doubts of that happening due to financial reasons.
> From my understanding, it was only suggested that I have Aspergers through the neuropsych testing I had to do. Though hearing that I show signs of the disorder actually gave me a bit of a relief since I can understand myself better. I'd like to take a look at that place, please. I've started talking to my therapist about finding someplace that can help me with the disorder.
V Same question (I'm totally brain dead right now...)

c2chaos · January 23, 2011, 02:38:28 AM

^ I work at a cheese factory, currently. I would like to have my very own anime/manga specialty store here, where I currently live.
< The best thing is to want to be better. It sound's like you've come a long way. (^_^)
> Continuing from the question...A few stores in the neighboring city "dabble" in anime and manga but I want to go all out with my store. Anime, manga, magazines, figurines, plushies, clothes, accessories, tapestry, games, and even hentai! What I'm going for is, "If you can find it in Akihabara, you will find it here." Well, at least content that are still within the United State's laws. Once the store becomes a huge success, I will build a Maid/Cosplay Cafe next door. XD
V Where do you hope to be five years from now?

Alyxiane · January 23, 2011, 09:32:01 AM

^ I'd be in college still. San Jose State *cough* o3o; Other than that, I hope for nothing too specific other than just be happy and satisfied with my life.
< No doubt I'd be buying from your store pretty often. ... And maybe work for you in the cafe too. XD
> While we're in the discussion about dreams, not only I wish to be a 3d animation artist but also an internet dance idol similar to that of Kozue Aikawa. On top of that, I'd also be known for my song covers and cosplays and the adorably cute and sexy outfits I would wear. In the "real world" I'd be known simply as a hobbyist dancer and singer while being an artist. Wearing adorably cute and sexy outfits in the "real world" would also apply. >w>;
V What's your dream?
