Okay, now that I'm not being as lazy as usual, I'll start my nerdy posts about conventions at whatnot. First will be Anime Matsuri in Houston, which was all the way back in April 10-12 LOL ;;;;;
Picture-heavy entry!
A PREVIEW:
---
Went with
moral_extremist, Isabel,
zofiechau, Harrison, and Toshi~ Ariel met up with us later.
Okay so we left Thursday night and blah blah blah not important LOL
I don't remember anything of importance we did on Friday either, so... YEAH...
Me and Takuya Angel :)
Please ignore my fatass face
Man Takuya looks like a fruit .....
Oh but, when I was at his table, I asked the translator if I could see a size medium
So he turns to Takuya and was like, "EMMU, EMMU"
Then I asked if I could see it outside the plastic...
So he turns to Takuya again and was like, "(points at bag) SEE? Uh... MITAI, MITAI"
I was like, WTF I COULD DO A BETTER JOB TRANSLATING, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING
So then after I bought my shirt, I went over to Takuya and was like, "SHASHIN O TORU MO II DESU KA"
"AHH HAI HAI"
Showed that translator up
(But seriously I've forgotten a lot of my Japanese ;;;;; Pretty sure that's the only line I spouted the whole weekend, which was very useful .__. I'm not even sure if I said it right, BUT WHATEVER THEY UNDERSTOOD ME)
WAIT I LIED
There was the Miyavi Q&A LOL
Which was... well
I was face-palming and bitching the whole time
Mostly because...
There was this Asian chick next to me who smelled really Asian and was hyperventilating and kept FLAILING HER ARMS IN MY FACE, and OMG I WAS ABOUT TO CUT HER TO PIECES
And then STUPID GIRLS ASK THE STUPIDEST QUESTIONS
Like, "Miyavi, who's the sexiest man alive?"
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO SAY
HIMSELF, OBVIOUSLY
His answer: "Uh... me"
a;sllak;jk;asfd
And then this BITCH who carried her electric guitar on her back the entire convention (WTF) was like
"MIYAVI YOU'RE A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME, CAN YOU SIGN MY GUITAR, I MEAN I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU CAN'T"
And the whole room was like, "DID THAT BITCH JUST ASK THAT"
BUT MIYAVI AGREES
HE AGREES
And then this other girl was like,
"MY FRIEND CINDY REALLY LIKES YOU, CAN YOU GIVE HER A HUG"
Miyavi: "Uh... ok"
asf;lksda;asd
And this DUMBFUCK
I don't even remember what question he asked because all I remember was,
"MIYAVI I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HELPED ME THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE LIKE DEPRESSION AND STUFF"
.....
But I loved his answers LOL ;w; My favorite was, "Miyavi, who is your favorite American artist?"
"Uh... OBAMA"
And "What are you going to name your kid?" (WTF at least say "child")
"Uh... I'm not sure yet, but as long as it's not Ko-Miyavi"
And "Can we see your tattoos?"
"Not without money first"
His English is rather cute =w=
So yes, the Q&A was supposed to be an hour long, but it got cut off before thirty minutes I'M PRETTY SURE BECAUSE OF THOSE STUPID BITCHES AND THEIR STUPID QUESTIONS
Anyway, I think before the Q&A was the opening ceremony and whatnot. I pretty much gave up with taking pictures of the actual people because I'm so fucking short, so I took pictures of the screen LOL
So these guys are champions from Japan, here to fight against the winner of the tournament of whatever fighting game
Guy on left... I forgot who he was =w= But he just MC-ed
Guy in the middle is a champion for a game... Which I forgot the name of because I don't play it... Something with blue :[ ANYWAY he had badass hair =w=
And guy on left is the champion of Street Fighter 4, and he was like .__. KIND OF FLAMING?
Like we were standing outside because Toshi was taking a smoke, and so was this guy... And I was like, "Dude, he's wearing a hot pink shirt that says 'Texas Princess' on it .__." And his jeans had some bigass flares for the 21st century LOL (I've never even worn flares that big)
Then he approaches Harrison and was like, "YOU... JAPANESE?"
"No."
Then he turns to me, "ANATA WA NIHONJIN DESU KA" (Why was he compelled to ask me in Japanese? .__.)
"AHH NIHONJIN JA NAI DESU DEMO AITSU WA NIHONJIN (POINTS TO TOSHI)"
And they had this full-on conversation, so fast that I couldn't keep up to understand
Yup.
And the whole weekend, there were no good cosplay... Here are the only two I took
BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME
(I want to cosplay Rhyme .__.)
Ran into a Takuya Angel model; SHE WAS SO CUTE
Then ran into MC guy
Then we went to hentai-fest because Ariel was curious, and it was my first hentai-fest, too. WTF is so great about hentai LOL I see nothing erotic about it, BUT THEN AGAIN I AM A GIRL WHO READS GAY PORN SO...
But yeah, whatever they were showing, I think it was called Rapeman ;;;;; Basically like Spiderman, but... instead of saving people, he rapes girls. And you can guess what his spiderweb is.

THEN SATURDAY
There was this deli down the street where we had our lunches/dinners often~
It looked like bumblebees
Most of the day was spent standing in line for the Miyavi concert LOL
So the line wrapped all the way outside, and we were early enough to wait inside =w= And then we saw THE BITCH WITH THE SIGNED GUITAR approach the doors... STILL CARRYING THE GUITAR. WTF WHY DO YOU NEED TO CARRY A FUCKING GUITAR INTO A CONCERT. Anyway, she was DENIED because they were like, "ONCE YOU GET OUT OF LINE, YOU CAN'T COME BACK," and from the looks of it, I think she was trying to get to the front of the line. Bitch deserved it; THE GUITAR WAS ENOUGH
Then I kept griping about how we were sitting, and everywhere I look up, I see huge thighs and short skirts (not that I'm one to talk)
Then I believe Zofie took this picture of me being :[ next to a set of thighs LOL
Then Zofie decided to take some pictures while laying down...
Then I was like, "WHAT DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF THAT ANGLE; THAT'S THE MOST UNFLATTERING ANGLE EVER"
And so, a series of chin-up photos spawned
And then a series of pouting
Then Zofie had these plastic bubbles SO we decided to make a couple and amuse everyone in line
Zofie approves of huge thighs in ugly skirts
Okay but yes~ Concert was good, not much to complain about besides this bitch in front of me who kept pushing me back until I finally snapped at her because there was a clear gap between her and the person in front of her, so I saw no reason why she was like leaning against me >:[ Don't remember the set list except for "Girls, Be Ambitious" at the end LOL ;w; The 13-year-old me was crying on the inside
Miyavi was really funny ;;;;; I remember him dancing (sexily?) to the cameras... Or something.
I took a video (BECAUSE THEY'RE FORBIDDEN OH SHIT), but I'm so short that I couldn't really be subtle, so all I really have is sound ;;;;;
---
Sunday morning, nothing much. We ate at the deli again, and I got this DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY ECLAIR AGAIN
And that's it =w= I had a blast minus those obnoxious girls, but I mean, what do you expect when you go to a Miyavi concert... I think my patience for them is dying though (am I getting old?)
THE END
So... I am never living anywhere south of Dallas LOL ;;;;;
Houston was so humid that my face was literally a desert that weekend, and the minute we arrived back in Dallas, my face was normal again .__. And my hair was sticky and blaaah, so... I do appreciate the dry weather in Dallas, I suppose =w=
