Whee!

It's 4:15 AM and I'm still awake. Feeeear. Anyway, spent most of my day sewing, with a brief aside into playing video games (Kingdom Hearts yay!), and doing a mini-update on Yuuzai. And drinking lots of tea. Seriously, I've had three or four cups already - two of mint, at least, and one of vanilla maple (it tastes like butterscotch, it's odd), and possibly another one I can't remember. And that was seriously about it.

I now feel the urge to go on a long-winded rant about something, but I already ranted to Marina about how I feel it's vaguely pretentious to go by the name of characters online - yay for my inner bitter cosplayer ^^ And I'm not awake enough for my 'Why LJ kind of sucks' rant I keep meaning to write...Murasaki touched on a few of the points here - I knew there was a reason I've kept reading her blog all these years (Seriously, third one I started reading. First was Heidi, second was Leareth...or maybe Leareth was third and Murasaki second, I can't remember now).

Also, for your random amusement - I see cosplay dead people! No, really. It suddenly came to me when I was talking to Marina. All of the characters I've cosplayed or plan on cosplaying have died in some canon form aside from Yolei. Clow's dead, Tatsumi's dead, Seishirou's dead, Subaru died in the movie, Fuuma died in the movie and the anime, and Sephiroth splats at the end of FF7. I think the only person who beats me for dead person-cosplay is Ari, who's got Seishirou and Sephiroth, plus movie!Akio, who splats, and Nagare, who seems to wish he was dead, and probably would have accomplished it too if Tatsumi and Watari hadn't shown up.

...Okay, that ended up as a long-winded ramble instead of a rant. Yay early morning. Oh, and happy slightly belated birthday to MD, and I hope you have a wonderful trip, Mara ^^

(Oh, and Leareth, I have your icon...you signed off right after I uploaded it ^^)

Waitaminnit...
Fuuma didn't die in the anime. >( What crack are you smoking? Kamui's the one of the two who died in the anime.

Happiness is...a Yuuzai update. And it's good to see your H-chan photo up there officially. =^.^= Any thoughts to becoming the permanent Hokuto for Yuuzai? (okay, so I'm greedy & just want more more more :P)

Oh, go Murasaki! (I first saw her blog through Val's, so that was a loooooong time ago - but at the time I was obsessing on Leareth & Taryn so I didn't read much else of any other blogs). I said something similar on my last blog entry (http://mambo.pitas.com) (although very waffly^^;;;). I'd like to see what you have to say on the subject.

I feel it's vaguely pretentious to go by the name of characters online

That's not *so* bad... what really bothers me is when I meet someone in person, at an anime-related event, and they introduce themself as their online name, which is taken from an anime or video game... and I never find out anything to call them other than the name of a fictional character.

I cosplay dead people!

I've only been properly cosplaying for a year or so, but it seems like almost everyone on my list of characters I want to cosplay is dead. But that's what I get for being a Gundam fan.

Yay for dead people!

And all nighters. YAY!

If you have enough leg hair and hairspray, you can spike it.

Does it count if people ASK to call you by your online name which is not the name of any ani/manga/game character that you know of? ::looks sheepish:: My netname's easier for folks, I swear!
