http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k25/RemmykinHolt/Anime%20Iowa%202006/ Here are my pictures from Anime Iowa if anyone was interested in seeing them. ^^ Sadly... That's not even all of them I took. I believe I took a little over 130 or something like that.

The glory of Anime Iowa. <3

Tue, 08 Aug 2006 06:05:20 GMT

Ahhhh, Anime Iowa. It's so much fun being surrounded in otaku. Sure, freaking out normal people by rambling about anime at school or something is fun as well, but it's just great being with people as weird as you! Guy quotes Trigun, three out of sox of us join in. You don't get that in a school setting.

Anyways, obviously I definitely had a lot of fun at AI, even if there were a few things that really annoyed me. (We'll just get the complaints over quickly.) The hotel was horrible, considering there was stuff spread from floor 2 to floor 15, and there were only 4 elevators for 1,500-1,600 people, and the stairs were annoying as hell because random floors would be locked off. The elevators made me dizzy each time I got out of one, my brother too. I forgot to eat the first day we were there, so when we were in the Dealer's Room, my head started getting light. Hm... I think that's it. Three complaints to all the ranting that's coming up soon, I think I did well. XD Oh, I guess I could complain that the one ballroom was freezing and the Anime Improv was hard to hear, but neither of those bothered me too much.

One of my really good friends (one of the sisters) and her boyfriend got to come over for the con, so it ended up being me, those two, two more of my friends from this school and my brother piling into one car for the con. That was interesting. We took the truck so two of us could just lay down in the bacl (Niisan's truck has a top over the back). Well, that was a close call. My niisan went the wrong way down a one-way road and a cop pulled him over. My friend and I laying in the back were just hoping the cop wouldn't glance back there and see us. ^^;; We probably weren't supposed to be laying back there, especially on an interstate part of the way. Oh well, we made 4 trips with people in the back and the only injury happened when my stupid niisan decided to slam on the breaks, causing me to fall forward and hit this crappy old wooden box and break part of it. My arm just got a little scratched up though. ^^

So, Friday. We got there a little late since we got lost trying to find the correct parking place, but that didn't matter much. The pre-reg line wasn't too long, but since my friends from IL hadn't pre-regged, we had to wait a while for them. We then went up the mass amounts of stairs (or did we actually make it onto the elevator going up and took the stairs down? I can't remember) to the 15th floor for the consuite 'cause... one of my friends hadn't eaten. Yeah, that was the reason. *Bad memory* From there we went to... uh... the Scavenger Hunt information meeting I think. We all signed up, but one group decided not to do it and the group I was in kind of forgot to go to the check-in one day and the next day we forgot our stuff. ^^;; Oh well. We didn't actually do much interesting stuff on Friday, 'cause it was kind of slow. We went into the Dealer's Room when it opened and I wasted some money. Got Moon Child (yay!), a naruto headband (finally), a kawaii FMA poster, and a really cute little Advent Children Cloud key chain. That was also the day I forgot to eat and I think the day I got randomly glomped because I was wearing my "I <3 yaoi" purse. XD Oh, met extremely tall Vash waiting for the elevator that day too... I think. Went to the extremely amusing opening ceremonies then too. The skits were great. Anime Iowa the alcoholic drink, Anime Iowa the video game and Anime Iowa the self-help system. Oh, and the guy doing the most part of it stripped for us. Yeah... He had been in a suit and that didn't last long. Yes, we was wearing closed under. Yeah, enough said. After that we decided to go home. Didn't end up doing anything too amusing after that, but I did manage to get in a fight with my mom. :3

Saturday! Saturday was probably the best day of the con. :3 My two friends from this school and I spent most of the day away from the other three because we had different stuff we wanted to go to, but whatever. We went upstairs to go to the Gaia meet up, but headed downstairs before we really even spoke to any one since we wanted to go to the Naruto event. (I think that was the reason at least... And I was still half asleep anyways.) The Naruto event was definitely amusing, especially the relationship chat stuff, and then we headed outside for a photo shoot. Truth, we wanted to hit the FF/KH photoshoot too, but we ended up getting distracted by the Naruto one and not really wanting to leave. We didn't end up staying for the whole Naruto shoot though, just got a couple random pics and good shots and then went back inside. On our way back inside, we spotted Greg Ayres (my favorite voice actor) and my friend talked me into asking to get a picture with him, so I did. ^^ I'm really happy I've got that. Though I kind of got fan girl-ish over it when we walked away, which I hate doing. Anyways, Greg-sama (don't ask why I call him that, I just started doing it a long time ago and still do) was really nice and friendly, just as I had been told he was like. Really amusing too. He showed up a picture on his cell phone that he had of Vash's voice actor dressed as a power ranger. XD Apparently said voice actor wanted him to delete it, but Greg wouldn't. That guy really is very amusing. Okay, so from my little star moment we headed back upstairs to check out the FMA photo shoot. Got some rather amusing shots from that as well. XD The Barry the Chopper there kicked ass. Then it was off to Dubbing 101 in the evil cold room. Again, very amusing. Somehow one of my friends talked me into actually going up there to try the dubbing, I don't know how she did it. And the person asked for a girl to do a guy's part that time. ^^;; The scene was actually this dude rambling away (all made up lines, not actually from the animes) about something and the guy I had a line for just looked up from his computer and said something like "Oh, I'm sorry. I was finishing my new yaoi manga." Cracked us all up my line had to do with yaoi. XD But seeing as how I get nervous in front of groups even though I'm not shy about speaking in front of large groups or anything, I made an ass out of myself... Oh well. I really don't remember exactly what we did after that. We had met up with the others for dubbing 101, so then I think we went back into the Dealer's Room. Wasted more money on the Descendants of Darkness box set (for $25 *drool*...), a Kakashi plushie and a couple of drinks. You know, the evil drinks that explode if you don't open them right. Reminds me, still got one upstairs to drink. <3 Got to meet "Chibi-chan" as my friends dubbed her. She is a really nice, perky, amusing artist. Didn't talk to her personally too much, but we did hang around her booth a bit since my friends from IL and niisan had be-friended her the day before. Then from there, we decided to go home though there was more stuff to do later since we all started getting bored and didn't feel like waiting all the time for the next stuff we wanted to go to.

Saturday. T.T Last day of the con. It was really slow and rather dull, truthfully. We (apart from one of my friends who went home early) went to part of the Anime Improv, which was amusing or rather lame depending on who was up there and if I could even hear them or not. Then we basically just boredly hung around the Dealer's Room some more since my friends from IL were working at a booth there that day and there weren't really any programs we wanted to go to or anything. I talked to someone at the booth my friends were working at for a while and got her Gaia user name. Cool kid. :3 Talked to some other people as well them. Got random glomped again when we were watching some random people fighting in the hallway. Then closing ceremony. :3 But after the closing ceremony, Greg-sama did something very, very, very awesome. He had gotten the alright to bring the currently un-released Trinity Blood first DVD (it's not finished, but the episodes and such at least most were) and showed every one the first four episodes. Besides the fact the room was freezing, that kicked such major ass. I need to get that series when it's actually released. ^^ (Greg-sama sounded so cute in his part as the pope...) Everyone was cheering, and "aww-ing" along with the show, which made it even more amusing than it already was. Getting a bunch of Otaku applauding gorey murder is great. XD One of the main characters was voiced by Vegita's seiyuu, which made it even more amusing. XD What else... Hm. I dunno. All in all, it was great.

There was also this whole thing with these cosplayers walking around randomly saying "Pool's closed" "Pool has AIDs" "Desu" and so on. It was from a forum niisan visits, so I was able to follow. Rather amusing. And, of course, there were the "Jenova's Witnesses." Not even going to try to explain that one. I'll just say, no I didn't mistype the name of the religion, and they had their own prayer made up. XD Hail Hojo. ^^

I am definitely very glad I went to AI, and it was even better since my friend and her boyfriend did get to come. (And that I got a picture with Greg-sama. ^^;; )

I think that's all I have to say for now. When I get my 100 some pictures loaded up somewhere, I'll post a link to it here. I got a lot of really awesome cosplay pictures even without being able to make it to the cosplay. Alrighty then, see you. (End long ramble from the person re-living a fun time at 2 am.)

Holy... Haven't updated in AGES. Oh well. That's not really anything new. And the school year's wrapping up, so I've been busier than normal with all of that stuff. ><

Okay... so what's new? Hm... I've been reading a lot more lately. Lotsa Vampire books. I finished The Vampire Lestat a while ago and started Interview with the Vampire after that, but it's hard to read those books for so long since I have to think, so I started picking up a couple easier books. Read Vampire Kisses, Kissing Coffins, Cirque Du Freak #8+9. Technically, I'm still reading Cirque Number 9, but I'm almost done and I've gonna finish today, so it's close enough. We're also reading Animal Farm by George Orwell in English, which has been very enjoyable. I love George Orwell. For that same class, I'm doing a "booktalk" (Book report presentation basically) on The Vampire Lestat. That's going to be interesting to stand in front of a class that already thinks I'm nuts for liking the class and tell them about this "sensual" vampire book I read and loved. XD Not to mention the last booktalk I did on Orwell's 1984, a political book. And for our extra credit characterization thing, I read a "revised" version of the Pledge... Yeah...

Music. Been listening to a lot of weird stuff lately. Lotsa My Chemical Romance, Nightwish, Evanescence and Bad Religion. Quite a lot of Anti-Flag too. And a play list that I have a ton of really random stuff on. It's all really good music though. :3 Yup.

Niisan's back from college. It's been amusing having him here, and we haven't really fought yet. And he's gonna start teaching me sword fighting soon, but I've been busy/not feeling well, so we haven't started. We had a massive DDR fest, when we played for like 4-5 hours straight on a Sunday night. We got new mats because our old ones got trashed when Devin brought them to college. It was very amusing. Need to get him to play DDR with my tonight... After I've started my homework. Maybe.

I've always got stuff I could say about school, but I'm not going to. 'Cause that stuff's pretty boring. And I'll even save you all from having to hear me ramble about Jenna and my roleplay, since my Animal Farm book is sitting in from of me and keeps distracting me. Gonna go read my assignment and finish Cirque Du Freak 9. :3

Yesterday I had more to say, but I forgot, so I'll just improvise. :3

About 100 days 'till Anime Iowa!! I'm sickly excited. XD Especially considering that's still months away... oh well, we're finally in the double digits. (I'm pretty sure it's technically 99 days, but the site still says 100, as it did yesterday.) Well, I don't think I'll be cosplaying, but I'm gonna talk to my mom about getting her to start helping me make a costume, that maybe will be done by Acen, if I get to go. That mostly depends on what I have for school around then, since Niisan'll be back by then and I should have my licence by then. (Let's hope. >< On the other hand...) But considering Niisan wants to go too, we're almost guaranteed to. And some of my friends... Well, it's gonna kick ass.

What else? Oh, I spent more money. The new Sims mini-expansion set, the first two Loveless DVDs and the 4th Loki Ragnarok. All totally spiffy! The guy that was helping my parents pick out a new washer and dyer recognized I liked anime by the color of my hair and that I was wearing my kimono... Somehow I find that rather funny. Anyways... Oh, and my mom just got me a new portable DVD player. I'm currently procrastinating in taking it out of it's box. See, the old one was being shitty, so Mom returned it.

There's probably more I have to say, but I dunno what. Had anime club today, but that was just normal. XD They were talking about me as president again... Anyway. Ooh!! And bex-kun did a glorious drawing for me. Well, is doing. But she sent me a picture of how Remmykin looks so far, and it's absolutely perfect. T.T I love my ai sai. XD (Yes, I'm still using that nickname for her.)

Okay, now I'm done. Thanks bex-kun. T.T I love you. XD Buh bye everyone else!

Grr. >< I've been home sick for the past two days. Well, today and yesterday. However you want to phrase that. And considering I already missed some class last week for the science thingy, I'm really in trouble. I was going to make that stuff up like today and yesterday, but that obviously didn't happen. So...yeah. I'm gonna have loads and loads of fun when I go back to school tomorrow. At least I hope I'll be well enough to return. I'm feeling a lot better now and no longer throwing up, so I should be in the good by tomorrow.

What else? Hm... I was watching Saiyuki last night. Not very exciting, but yeah... Well, the show was to me, but you guys probably aren't very excited by the knowledge. Oh! And I got some new manga. Furuba 13, a couple of Ramna's and Glass Wings. Moon Phase 1 and Mark of the Succubus finally came in also. ^^ Yay for falling behind with my manga and anime. Newtype also.. I still have March to read and I've gotta keep working on Lestat. And I've started a new drawing that's gonna take forever and I still need to finish my Theron story. Then add all my school stuff.. *SO monkey fucked* Not to mention that a friend and I are talking about re-starting up our RP. We haven't yet since we've both been busy, but now I doubt we'll be able to for quite a while, since I have so much other catch up to do also. ><

Oh, funness though. Bex-kun is doing a drawing for me of Rem and Erik. ^^ Not to mention those two have had a lot of fun lately. Remmy brought them to a spa since Lynna hurt Erik again and he wanted them to be able to relax. It's been really, really cute. Though they kind of got in a fight this morning. Remmy was talking about turning in his medical licence and Erik slapped him. It was cute... Shut up. I know I need help. But yeah. So they've got a little while, but then they have to go to school again. Which we have a lot planned for. Fighting in history, tutoring, violent fight in science, jock attack in lunch, interesting stuff in study hall and then Remmy dying. ^^ And nope, not gonna say anymore.

I think that's all I have to ramble about today... Close enough. ^^ Later!

It's my birthday! Yup, the Golden Birthday. So yeah... I had a party Monday-Tuesday. We went bowling Monday afternoon-night and then the girls came over to my house to spend the night. Twas fun. :3 Did nothing Wednesday. Then today I talked with Eric on the phone again, roleplayed with Jenna, of course, then went to dinneh for my Bday and opened gifts. Yup, just a normal day. I got two Hayao movies, the next two Saiyuki DVDs, the next Loki DVD and a new DVD player to replace my old, dead one. So, yup. I scored. :3

Hm... It's Spring Break. That means lots of roleplaying time. Yup, yup. Erik's maker Micaiah randomly showed up after Erik nearly died again.He and Rem have been really close lately. ~.^ Hm... what else? Oh, I've been working on a story about Theron lately. It's basically when Theron gets sired by Nailah (who was actually sired by the same person Micaiah was and they're from about the same point in history), and then meets Lynna. I've got to work with Rem back before he became this Rem, and that's been fun. ^.^ Though making it historically acurate is evil... Especially since Wikipedia isn't giving me the common life information I need. Oh well, I'll get it done eventually.

I think that might be all I hav- wait! Sukisho. ^.^ I finally got the third DVD of that, and yes, I'm in love the 13th episode is so great. It's not really part of the series, but oh so funny. That's where my background is from. That's Shinichiro. I'm totally in love with his boyfriend, Nanami, but that picture was just too cute. I found another one I love of Nanami and Shinichiro, but the coloring was too different to use as a background. Check out the cute pictures- http://gokumew2.koyasunomiko.com/sukisho/omake.htm But a warning... there are a couple pictures with the others that are a little *cough* hardcore yaoi. Oh well, other cute drawings on the site. :3 Yeah, of course there is more I could ramble, but I'm done for now. I'm gonna go watch anime...

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 22:11:30 GMT

I've got a headache like a bitch right now, so this probably won't be too long or will be totally rambling, but I thought I should attempt some semblance of a update... (I wonder if I'm even using 'semblance' correctly.. Probably not. I do that a lot.)

Just kind of stressed out about my math test. This unit was actually kinda difficult, which gets on my nerves for whatever reason. I'm like obsessive compulsive over certain things. I either expect absolute perfection or don't give a fuck. It's so weird... Can you believe I was actually disappointed over like a 97%-96% over all grade last semester? See, obsessive. I don't even remember what class it was, but I was really bugging myself about it. Pitiful... But the test. Two of the sections were kind hard and we've fallen behind a little bit (the whole class), so I was trying to do my homework rather late last night and my brain couldn't get it, so I got really frustrated. So today when I was trying to make it click (which it did easily, which pissed me off even more), I got a massive headache. Yup, that's my bitching for the moment. (Yes, more commentary than usual and lotsa swears, sorry, sorry.)

Bad choice, just looked on parent portal and now I wanna murder people... two certain teachers, but I won't name them, because who knows what idiot might take that as a death threat, considering these are both teachers I like. One's just uber slow at updating the parent portal, so it looks like I'm getting a D that I really don't deserve and I'm just kind of freaking out because I'd lose it if I actually got a D on even a midterm report card. The other teacher totally ripped me off on some extra credit I know I deserved. Oh well. I'll just have to live with it and stop putting so much extra effort into that class. ¬¬ Today just bites I guess. At least my life's not as bad and Nakamura's and Nevae's.

Even more out of it than usual, so don't get angry if I repeat stuff. I've gone on an anime hype again. Shonen ai/yaoi I should say... ^^;; Kyo Kara Maoh!, Sukisho, Gravitation, and Loveless. Kawaii, kawaii, kawaii, kawaii. I can't count the number of kawaii over loads from Sukisho. ^^;; Lots really nice music from these shows too! I've had the Loveless music from before I really even knew what it is, but I've got my hands on a lot of Gravi music, three Kyo Kara Maoh! song I'm in love with and I really want the Sukisho ending/beginning songs, but I can't find them. >< Oh well.

What else to ramble on and on about? Haven't had much time to read Lestat lately, which is really depressing oh well. At least I finally got Queen of the Damned. I gave in and got my mom to get the ugly cover. I just wanted the book so badly and couldn't find the one I wanted. Oh well.

Lotsa new stuff I want coming out soon... New Kingdom Hearts around end of this month/beginning of March. Next/last Sukisho DVD coming out the 28th, along with a new Sims 2 expansion (Yippee!!). Lotsa continuations of mangas I have coming out in March too. ^.^ Still need to go to Waldens and get Moon Phase... and Loveless... and a lot of others. I'm seriously going into a Waldens depression or something here. I'm missing the store again. I basically have to go there like every week or two or I start missing the store really badly. Now that's just sad. I need to get a job there At least I still miss my sisters more...

On that topic. I still have intentions of going back 'home' over Spring Break. Brought it up to mom a few times, who is less than happy, but she can bite me. She doesn't understand how I get when I miss stuff too badly. >< It's getting so bad, I miss my old choir teacher. I want to go back and bother him with my Niisan like we used to. Wow, I'm really pitiful again today. Oh well, comes with not feeling good.

Roleplay with Jenna-chan going well as usual. Really funny stuff, but I'll save you from rambling about it since I'm getting tired and I've talked a lot already. (Yes, getting tired at 5. Don't have the energy for crap today and my headache ain't helping that. But it's usual, considering I didn't go to bed till late last night.) Still rping with Tai a little bit, but it's going so fucking slow... Oh well.

Well, I'll cram it now. Sorry for bitching so much, I'm just in a sour mood so I feel like whining and taking a nap. *Sigh* I'm going to go hang out with my Remmykin now. (Aka, roleplay... Should be working on my post.) Gomen, gomen, gomen. Maybe tomorrow I can do an actual post that's more interesting. I feel bad for any of you that actually read this thing... ^^;; Bai-Bai.

Mon, 13 Feb 2006 23:09:26 GMT

Um. Another pointless entry. I just looked at my email (for the first time in a few days) and decided to update... and add some smexy Vampire Chronicle pictures to my site. Oh the glory of evil Anne Rice's beautiful work. Yes, I know that makes very little sense. She's just such an amazing author at the time she's incredibly evil. She destroyed my love's mind. T.T Seriously, she's as bad as I am. And if you don't believe I'm evil to characters, just ask Jenna. But anyway... I'll shut up about that before I start getting uber depressed again. (Damn glorious bitch made me cry, lol. I can't believe I just admitted that on Xanga.... Guess my pride ain't as bad as it used to be. Yay!)

Well, yeah.. now I don't know what to talk about. I only really want to talk about Lestat (That's actually what I refer to my The Vampire Lestat book as) or Jenna and my roleplay. I can't really say much about Lestat since I'm getting into the depth and don't wanna give anything away... I'll just satisfy that urge with two sentences as simple as I can keep them. Poor Nicki. I love Armand. Don't give too much away? Hehe.. okay, on to the rp. I can give that away as much as I want. ^^

Okay, so poor Remmykin is on his way to jail. Hold on, I'm not sure how much I've wrote about before, so I'll start at the beginning. Basically, Erik (4,000 year old vampire) and Rem (9,000 year old kitsune) ended up sleeping in the same bed through trying to freak each other out, Erik woke up and smelled blood, so he bit Rem before realizing what he was doing. Well, apparantly kitsune blood tastes really good and being fed from tastes good, so this feeding kind of became regular. More stuff happened (Shun nearly killed Rem, nothing that important), and last night the school principal walked in on Erik feeding, while sitting on Rem's lap, during lunch. Keep in mind, Rem's supposed to be a teacher and Erik's faking as a student, so it looked like molestation to the principal. Hehe... So now the human principal is basically going to kill Rem and send him to jail. ^.^ Yup, we're that evil. Cute ol' kitsune's gonna get locked behind bars with a bunch of sex deprived prisoners. (Man I saw stuff bluntly sometimes...) And he's still injured from nearly getting killed. Man this is gonna be amusing. And Erik's going to make it all the worse (better for us) by terrorizing Rem. Yes, yes. And we have another really, really evil idea that's likely to make Rem snap again. Hehe, I love being evil. And I love Jenna's evilness. So yeah, I think I'll move on now before you people start refusing to talk to me. XD

Yes, I remembered another topic. Tai and my rp. We're getting it going a little bit again. But since it's going slowly, I don't really have much to say. I just wanted to talk about my darling Kumiko a little bit. He's one of my characters, along with Kaito. He's a kitsune just short of 9,000 years old. About two thousand years ago, he killed two sister's parents and this snapped him out of his couple thousand year insanity where he basically went on an endless murderous rampage. Now don't take that wrong, Kumiko is a really sweet guy, his younger days were just way less than pleasant and then he actually got a touch of happiness and the only woman who was ever nice to him was killed, that's enough to make anyone insane. But after realizing he had left orphans, Kumiko basically sank into a depression. He just kind of wandered around for awhile until he was faced by a female kitsune who nearly killed him. Kaito found Kumiko bleeding to death and brought him home, saving his life. Kumiko was able to get a little happiness with this human and when his father died, he kind of became an older brother figure. Now he's been wandering about with Kaito. Kumiko has kind of been looking for the two girls who he killed their parents so he could finally make amends by allowing them to kill him, and he's finally found them. ^^ Too bad Ri's come to terms already and isn't going to kill the poor kitsune. He doesn't really want to die, he wants to stay with Kaito while the human still has years left, but he views this as something he must do. In his eyes, death is all he deserves. Just makes you wanna give him a hug, huh? XD Okay, but that turned into a lot more of a ramble than I thought it would be. *sigh* Oh well. Kind of pitiful that I talk about my characters more than my life? Oh well, they're more interesting than I am anyways. I think I'm done rambling for now if any of you are even reading anymore, lol. Buh-bye!!

Yeah, yeah. Working on a new look again. I can't help myself. It's the Vampire Chronicles, what do you expect? ^^ Yesh yesh, the lovely drawing was done by the awesome Rokuri of www.deviantart.com. I'd give you the exact link, but to tell you the truth, I don't have it anymore. ^^;; Well, I probably do, but it's hidden in my bookmarks and that's a little more than a pig sty... So, yeah. If I happen to find it, I'll happily post it, but until then, just look up the user on Deviantart. ^^ And again sorry for picking a background that makes my text hard to read... but just highlight it as before. ^^;; And consider scrolling down so you can see the character on the left hand side, it's Marius and he's spiffy too. The characters are all from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Read them.

Edit: Whoopsies. Forgot to cite my new icon too and I really love this artist. ^^;; Shaybalene of Deviantart.com. Her work is both really, really pretty to look at and a lot of it really makes me laugh. ^^ Seriously, if you have half a clue what the Vampire Chronicles are (which you should if you spend time with me), look at her stuff! *Shameless plug*
