Stolen from

8D

Shaddup I'm bored!

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs

1) I really hate ham. It's disgusting

2) I just found out my friend got a job at the McDonalds I applied to. I'm kinda mad now.

3) I can easily hug friends or people I just met, but it's awkward to hug my family. Like with my sister, she has to sneak hug me and then I push her off >.<

4) I love to sing when there is absolutely NO ONE in the house.

5) I don't want a Snuggie, but I want the Weezer Snuggie
--> [link]

6) I don't like taking pictures, except for cosplay. & I even feel weird taking pics of just myself.

7) I want to be slapped in the face with a banana cream pie!

8) I still haven't gone to Little Tokyo in L.A.

& there's no way I'm taking the bus to L.A. (wierd/creepy bus ppl *shivers*)

9) I want chocolate right now O_O

10) I love to play video games for hours without sleep

I just got KH Re: Chain of Memories and I'm resisting to play it cuz I'll get hooked. Probably wait til break ^_^

I tag anyone who wants to do this!

I'll upload pics and vids later.

Got there at like 9am. Which I guess was pretty early cuz there was hardly anyone there so I felt wierd cuz the regular hotel ppl were giving me wierd looks Also when I asked these 4 old ladies at a table where a WORKING atm was, one was like
"Go ask the concierge sir, or ma'am, young man, or whatever *all of them laugh*"
=_= I just laughed. I don't know if I should take that as an compliment or an insult I AM trying to look like a dude after all
Then later after I registered, this girl wanted to take a pic with me and then gave me a rose^^
So then I went to look around for a while cuz the volunteer place said they'll have openings in an hour. Met (who was Roxas) for the first time. Then went to volunteer, I had to do an hour of being a badge checker outside the exhibit hall, which can get u kinda dizzy when there's a big group of ppls badges you gotta check @_@ Pretty easy though
Then I got an hour break and looked around some more. Went to hang with a friend who roomed with us at AX. Did caramelldansen with Sasuke and another Itachi. Met my friend Sai from AX09 who was Mikami this time. Had to go back to do more volunteering.
The fun part!
Okay this time, me and this other volunteer girl named Judy (dressed as Yuki from Vampire Knight) and I had to go to the Pocky Room to help sell the pocky. I ended up advertising for the room by DANCING WITH THE GIANT POCKY BOX!!! People wanted pictures of me WITH the pocky box . And another wanted video of it *MUST FIND* *curses self for not getting a pic or vid or me with it *. I remember someone was like
"Itachi why are you dancing with the pocky box?"
and this other dude laughed and was like
"Wtf are you doing??" "I'm advertising!"
And this other guy interviewed me and asked me a couple questions and a tricky pocky question >.<
Then me and this other girl went around the hotel with my pocky box and she had the room's sign. At one point I accidently dropped it on the stairs and some dude was like "YOU KILLED THE POCKY!" A few people wanted the box too haha. Then we went back and I went back to dancing and waving the pocky box.
After, me & Judy/Yuki, who became my friend , went to do more volunteering at the exibit hall doing badge checks for 2 hours. Saw Kisame from AX09 *forgot to get a pic with him*. Also saw and sorta met (who was Alice in Wonderland Sora...I think?).
My hours were done, then got my $25 bucks back. Yay for saving money Judy/Yuki still had 1 hour to go. So we exchanged numbers to keep in contact and I went walking around. I finally bought Itachi's necklac... ]]> ~MidoriKimura PMX ^_^ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/28169130/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/28169130/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:17:03 PST I'm also gonna volunteer there, save some money haha. Plus I'll have something to put on my job applications now. I just gotta work 4 hours and then I'll get a refund for my 1-day membership.
I'm excited, I've never been to PMX before. & hopefully I see some familiar people from AX09^^
I'm also going by myself Since my cousin and sis aren't able to go. But hopefully I'll find pplz to hang out with. If not then I think I was still supposed to hang with Sai from AX but haven't heard from her :/
Ugh I'm gonna have to make my own sandals for Itachi, since they're still lost & probably never coming back =_= I would've ordered a pair on ebay but it's being stupid with my card >:[ I'll buy the fabric tomorrow then...

]]> ~MidoriKimura Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeen!!!! http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/28064927/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/28064927/ Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:32:45 PDT Happy Halloween everyone!
What ya guys doing?
I'm gonna go trick or treating at ~monicathecat's house as usual with her, my sis, and our friend^_^ I'm gonna go as Bloody Itachi! o_O
Sucks I don't have my sandals, I'm gonna feel stupid going in shoes Or maybe I'll use regular sandals....eh it doesn't matter.

Idk if I should do something for the 10K...hmmm I'll draw something. But that'll be while.

Oh yeah I did a cosplay tag if anyone wants to see -> [link]

ANDDDDDDD....speaking of which!
I found out I wanna do for my next cosplays!
Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy VII! (Advent Children version) and
Halloweentown Sora from Kingdom Hearts!

There's no way I'm making them XD I wish I knew how D8
I most likely won't have them til next year, but I like to plan early. I WILL however, need to make Vincent's claw, pointy shoes, and Cerberus gun. And for HT Sora, I'll have to make the pumpkin mask & keyblade. I find crafty things like that fun though

My sister also wants to cosplay Edward Elric from FMA and Neji from Naruto to AX10. She fits them both perfectly O_O

Also the next cons I'm most likely going are PMX in November and ALA in January. Just haven't registered yet.

Oh I finally watched Ouran High School Host Club! It's so funny XDDD If only my cousin and I looked even at all alike we would cosplay as Hikaru and Kaoru

Haven't had internet for a while, then when I did I was SUPER lazy to log in to all of my accounts including my e-mail D:
Anyways I'll get to all my messages and deviations and stuff eventually O_O So sorry they'll be late
Oh and I've got a couple things to post, but that'll have to wait til tomorrow or after that since I don't have much time, just wanted to update right now.

Started school last Monday. Earliest class starts at 11:30am and the latest at 4:30pm. That way I can get more sleep! >:3 Taking Piano, Psychology, Japanese 2, and English. If English was a person, I'D KILL IT!!! I hate English so much, it's so stressfull. Mainly cuz of the essays >__< Our final is gonna be a 7-10 page paper O_O I don't wanna!!!
& I'm being very anti-social this semester for some reason . Maybe cuz it's so crowded.

But while I was gone, I fell in love with Kingdom Hearts!!! I finally got around to playing it!
Stayed up all night playing it XD It's so awesome I finished 1 & 2 and now I want a DS so I can play that new one that comes out for the DS.

And I haven't been feeling good, but I'm starting to feel a lot better. Cuz like a month ago we (me, my mom, sis, & brother) got kicked out of the house by our evil grandma(Idk if you remember when I told you about her, the one that purposely cut my DDR Dace Pad. Still hate her for that). Anyways, it was all this stupid drama and now she wants us to move back .___. So I guess were moving back in a few days, cuz it's been a difficult situation. But I've been at my dad's. & I'm hoping she didn't throw out most of my stuff. I had to leave some stuff behind . But not my anime stuff! Lol, those were the first things I packed! So now things should go back to the way it was(That's a bad & good thing) and I'll finally be back with my cat . (don't feel like explaining XD)

Oh, I'm also gonna try to attend more cons!!! Like ALA (Anime Los Angeles), that one's in January I think. Just cuz AX was so fun and I love cosplaying and meeting new people . But I'm ALL out of money now so I'm gonna need to get a real job. I'm not even gonna mention to my dad I wanna go to ALA til I get a job. My babysitting is over already btw.

Which leads me to my summer goals! Whoo yeah goals....yeah...!!!
A couple of which I did already 8D
List of summer goals: (inspired to make by )
Get a job
Get my driver's license (my dad is also making me)
Meet new people at AX
Try Ramune (loved it)
Eat at a Japanese Steakhouse ^^
Memorize Katakana for Japanese 2
Make a Flash
Play AND finish Kingdom Hearts(one of them)
Finish watching Full Metal Alchemist
Try watching Soul Eater

Hmmm I think that's it...

ANIME EXPO 2009 WAS SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just loved being around all the anime fans and cosplayers. And I made some new friends! Though they live so far away TT.TT

(Oh & I'll post pictures in a while. Kinda tired right now, I haven't even seen all my video footage)

Day 0
We checked in the hotel and IT WAS NICE. We stayed at the Westin Bonaventure. It was cool seeing so many cosplayers there too. I ended up not cosplaying that day cuz I didn't finish my Matt vest yet and we had to get to the convention center already.
A total of about 4 hours of waiting in line for our badges and masquerade ticket (which we ended up not going to ).
Then back at the hotel, my friend Irene and I did karaoke. I had never done karaoke before! XDDDD. We did the Pokemon Theme, good thing the music was louder than my voice . Then we went to the dance, which wasn't that great cuz there weren't that many people.

Day 1
Finished my Matt Vest and cosplayed as Matt. Met up with my cousin ~thetoondevil at the Dealers/Exhibit hall and walked around the artist alley for a while. I also meet up with another DA person, =lauraneato who was cool^^. Then later on, there were some Matt fangirls who were like "Omg Matt! Matt! I love you!" and made hearts with their hands. I was like "who? me?" cuz the whole being fangirled thing was new to me. LOL, so I just laughed and waved XDDD. Went to the Hetalia gathering, so many cosplayers!
Met *ToonTwins! They were cool. They were cosplayed as Hikaru and Kaoru, I think from Ouran Host. Then met with my friends Melissa and Kylee. Later on, me, my sis ~Chibiko321, and my cousin ~monicathecat went to the Chibi Masquerade. That was ok.
Once we left the chibi masq, a Mello came up to me and I was like "Mello!" and she hugged me XD. Forgot her real name but we just call her Mello and she calls me Matt XD. So she was one of the new friends we made and we hung out a lot.
Oh yeah & there was this one guy who was like "Matt for President 2012!" I was like "Yeah!!!"
Then we went back to the hotel and the same guy saw me and was like "Yeah! You have a good night Matt!" XDDD Then me & Mello went to the dance which was way better than day 0 and an L joined us haha.

Day 2
Cosplayed Matt again for the Death Note gathering. Stopped by the Bleach gathering real quick to take pics. Went back to the DN gathering and found my friends Melissa and Kylee. Later, did caramelldansen. Hung out with Mello and some of Mello's friends too. Later I walked around the Dealers/Exhibit Hall. Exchanged numbers with this Sai cosplayer I met cuz so we can hang out.
Then I was texting or something and heard some fangirls kind of squealing at me and looked over and said hi XDDD. Then another one did that heart thing again and yelled "I love you!"
Went back to the hotel to change into my Itachi cosplay for the Naruto dinner at Subway. Mello went as Sasori. The dinner was fun . Started to hang out more with these Tobi and Deidara cosplayers we met.
Went to the dance again with Mello/Sasori.

Day 3 (EPIC DAY)
Cosplayed as Itachi to the Naruto Gathering. IT WAS HUGE. My friend Kylee went as Sasuk... ]]> ~MidoriKimura AX09 plans/Happy 4th of July! http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/25671617/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/25671617/ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:18:31 PDT

I just gotta put the fur stripes on the back. But it's looking good so far! At least I got to watch FMA eps at the same time. I'll probably finish it at the hotel today.
Lol super last minute .___.

Well, I'll be leaving in about an hour. I'll most likely not be online during AX cuz the hotel's wi-fi isn't free >.<. But I'm mainly taking my laptop so I can upload the vids and pics.

Soooooo HAPPY EARLY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!! I'll miss the fireworks T.T

]]> ~MidoriKimura Anime Expo 2009!!! http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/25654837/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/25654837/ Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:30:31 PDT OMFG!

Tomorrow is the day!!!
ANIME EXPO 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL 4 DAYS! 5 COUNTING DAY 0!!!!

I'm soooo excited! (in case you can't tell )

Starts for us tomorrow cuz we're going on day 0 to check-in the hotel & pick up our badge^_^
Tomorrow (or later on today) I'll post what my plans are for each day 8D
& I was hoping DeviantART was gonna be there again, but it doesn't look like it. I wanted another free subby >:3

Well, I' wish I could say my cosplays are done, but they're not D:
I WILL finish them today! THE FUR FOR MATT'S VEST TAKES FOREVER!!!
At first I was like "Yay! Now the fun part! The fluffy fur! "
*2 hours later*
2 FREAKIN hours for ONLY THE BOTTOM PART! >:U
& I have to do it by hand cuz I don't have a sewing machine, & it'll look better by hand cuz I won't be sewing over the fur.
At least now I have a sewing strategy/technique and I'll be able to work faster.
Once the vest is done, that's it! I've got everything else, including the chain. & I can make the cigarette really quick.
Didn't get make-up. Too expensive >.< Gonna have to be tan Matt D:

As for Itachi, I just gotta put that white part on the sandal. The only thing I won't have is his necklace
But I probably won't have the cloak open the whole time......wait it's gonna be hot in that thing
Or I can make his necklace if I have time. & then I just gotta find a plain black shirt to wear underneath, it'll have to do.
Yay!!!! My first cosplay!!!

Oh and sadly, our friend Akane won't be coming with us
It was gonna be her first AX
But I'm sure we're gonna be going to more cons so we can take her then^^

Oh & I will take LOTS of pics and video! My dad and I are gonna go buy a camcorder today^^

But the babysitting is going good^^ Lol, Alizay likes Death Note . She wanted to watch it so I showed her and she's like "L is cute!" and "He's so cute!" every time it shows him XD
& for a 9 year old, she sure has a violent mind .___. She was playing these violent computer games or watching something and I just hear her say "Haha the kitty is gonna explode! He's on a rocket!" I was like wtf LOL. o_O I remember a couple years ago, my dad and I heard her singing something like "1 little baby got killed, 2 little babies got killed! 3 little babies got killed, 4 little babies got killed!" And her favorite movie is the "Saw" movies XD
It's rare for me to actually like a kid haha.

Omg I wish I could show you guys how I look in my Matt cosplay so far! (now that I have the wig^^) But the pic is on my phone and I think I left it at 's house.
But wow, I look sooooo different! Dude, I look like a dude!
& omg 11 days til AX......

Dang, my friend Vanny's b-day is tomorrow....well today (it's 1:27am). Idk what to get her D: I suck at gift giving. I'll try to think of something. She got me an awesome piano scarf for my b-day. So I feel I should give her something just as awesome that she likes
& Father's day. I had to ask my dad what he wanted . So I'm getting him a cool Lakers 2009 championship hat^^

MY AWESOME DAUGHTER IS PERFECT FOR THE JOB!!!"
(ok we'll he didn't say that ) But he said that I'd be able to cuz I have the summer off ^^.
I already called her and I start tomorrow!

$70 a week for the next 6 weeks! (though it's $60 this week)
So I'll be babysitting her 9 year old daughter Alizay. I used to babysit for her all the time when we were roommates. She cool, she's not those super bratty kids & I actually liked keeping her entertained. & I was even just thinking the other day "If only I could babysit for Daniella again" cuz she used to pay $20 a night whenever she needed me to. & I never really knew what to spend it on T.T
Thank god I'll have some more money before AX. I was running out and panicking D8 & my grandma will probably babysit when I'm at AX^^

Went with my friends Irene, Kylee, and Melissa. It's was so fun! Met some cool people
Here's some pics (I didn't take most of these):
[link] <- group pic, I'm wearing a green sweater & a beanie, bottom left
[link] <- another group pic
[link] <- skipping while holding hands (I'm 2nd from the left)
[link] <- I made that
[link] <- Melissa made a huge hole & that guy was buried in it

Video:
[link] <--singing "We Are Men" from Mulan. That's me with the beanie at 1:10! Haha.
There's more vids of the guitar singing although I'm not in them but if u wanna see ->[link]

And now my legs are sore from running in the sand T.T

I might go to my friends house today or tomorrow to work on my Matt vest. I got some tan fabric and fluffy stuff ^_^ & I'm gonna try to win this bid on ebay for some black boots. I think I'm more excited about cosplaying as Matt than Itachi . Probably cuz I know it's gonna be hot in that cloak D: Plus Matt's will be more comfy to dance in

Oh & my sis will not be cosplaying as Sasuke anymore. Or cosplaying at all. Our mom didn't pay her back the money she borrowed, which was supposed to go toward the Sasuke wig. & I'm not buying her anything anymore cuz it's bad enough I pay for most of her stuff anyway like for her whole AX pass and Sasuke's shirt fabic and a lot of other stuff.
& I feel so under-appreciated for what I'm doing to plan this whole thing

OMG I just remembered I had a weird dream the other night Just to sum it up, I had a dream that I got with this L cosplayer O__O Yeeaaah. I saw him hugging someone then I went to give him a hug. A long hug. & ummm......hehe later we were holding hands . It was so weird but funny I laughed when I woke up
I think it had to do with watching this video of an L cosplayer hugging random ppl ---> [link]

There's a party next door which my dad and grandparents went to. The music is loud. A couple songs made me feel like dancing but I'm all like blaaaa. And there's probably cake-
DID YOU SAY CAKE???!!!
I feel like that one episode of Spongebob where he's procrastinating to do his essay and it looks all fun outside.
& I'm lazy to check all the deviations too....

Oh yeah the other morning was weird. I woke up, walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and I looked like Itachi.
O_O
Like, my expression was like his, and my hair and I kinda saw the lines on my face more than usual. I kinda have lines but you can barely even see and they don't go down as much as Itachi's.
I noticed and I was like "Woah!"
yeah....it was funny though XD

I also ordered a vest on ebay so I can turn it into Matt's vest. And I ordered the goggles and placed a bid on some gloves.
I'm also maybe considering the red and black shirt....? Instead of the black and white....? Maybe idk.

(Dang that music!!!)

Gawd. 32 days til AX. I'm actually getting nervous now cuz I fear I won't have the cosplays done and my cousins dad and my friends haven't given me any money for the hotel yet. They said they'd help out. I'll have to be be more assertive...Lol, Spongebob. You know that one episode...
Idk why I'm referencing Spongebob today XD.

Oh and at AX, were gonna participate in this thing called a -

(Oh god! Now they're playing that one song from the Six Flags commercial! DANG IT! I wanna dance!!!!)
*dances a few seconds*

-called a Flashmob. Where people arrange a certain time to suddenly point guns (fake, with our hands) and start shooting each other yelling "BANG!"
Like this commercial: [link]
I can't wait^^

Oh the new Naruto chapter.......
I HAD A FEELING HE WAS ALIVE!!! *glomps Kakashi-sensei*
Umm yeah, that chapter was.....idk......so sudden?
I know a lot of people are like over Naruto and stuff cuz of the latest chapters.
But I still say Naruto is my #1 ^_^

Well, that's all I gotta say for now.....STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF MIDO -shot-
Okay bye.
(OMG!!!! THEY'RE PLAYING BOOM BOOM POW!!!!!)
I'm sooo 3008, you so 2000 and late

Well now I know! XD & the cloak touches my toes! It's supposed to go just past the knees.
So I'm gonna return it for a medium asap.^^
& wow it it came in like 4 days! That was fast!

In other news uhhhhh........
I think I'm kinda getting the hang of Flash! Easier than I thought XD
But it takes some time of course....
So I just gotta keep practicing more and then eventually I'll attempt to make one of my ideas or maybe something smaller.

The reasons are cuz I might mess up, don't have time to learn and make it, and I just want my cosplay done already.
Soooo I'm gonna order my Itachi cosplay this month.
This one most likely --> [link]
Though I will continue making Sasuke's blue shirt for my sister since I already started that. I just gotta fix the collar, which I messed up on.

I've also officially decided to go as Matt from Death Note as well. I just gotta order a vest and make it like Matt's and buy the other stuff which SHOULDN'T be hard.^_^
BUT I CAN'T FIND A GOOD MATT WIG!!!
I'll probably just buy a Light wig and dye it reddish....

& and I think we'll have a Death Note group! We've got a Light, Misa, L, Matt(me), and Near(my sis).
Just don't know if and are gonna do a DN cosplay as well. Though I'd say they should go as Mikami and Mello^^

WHOO 47 DAYS UNTIL ANIME EXPO!!!!!

Actually I think I've done one like this last year[link] but I'll do it again & put new facts.

Fact#1: I usually don't express my feelings/emotions. Unless it's happiness XD So I'm not an emotional person. I would also make the WORST therapist.___.

fact#2: I've always been a tomboy. Hate to wear dresses, skirts, make-up, jewlery etc. I'm all about just jeans & a T-Shirt!

fact#3: I used to think anime was stupid and for nerds, til about 3 years ago when my cousin's ex showed her Naruto, who showed my sis, who showed me. I remember thinking in freshman year "What a nerd!" when I saw a friend of mine looking at anime and had anime style drawings . Guess I'm that nerd now & I also never thought I'd call a character "hot."

fact#4: One of my favorite words is AWESOME

fact#5: For some reason, I think guys look hotter in winterish clothes. Like, with a sweater, scarf, beanie......

fact#6: I look a lot like my dad. People always think were brother and sister .___. Well, also cuz he looks young.

fact#7: When I was a baby, I used to eat ramen ALL THE TIME. That's why I was reaaaallly chubby

fact#8: I like to change my voice at random times. Like, I'll start talking with a british accent or a creepy voice (Usu. Orochimaru) and other goofy voices. My sister is the only one who really goes along with it though & sometimes I sing what I'm doing, my sis goes along with that too.

fact#9: I love technology^^

fact#10: I love the water, I LOVE swimming. I'd be in the pool all day if I could! (actually I have when I was little XD)

Kinda hard coming up with some. I must be boring

BANAYNAYS?!

Anyways, I didn't go to the SoCal Cosplay Gathering. My cousin's dad got grouchy the last minute and didn't wanna take us
I'm now more motivated to get my license so I can go where I WANT and WHEN I WANT!

But this weekend, I found out one of our friends from the Death Note movie (Irene, she cosplayed as Light)lives in my neighborhood!!!
That was wierd XD. She literally lives like no more than 5 min away. So I went to hang out with her on Sunday at the mall & with Melissa too (also met at the movie, she was L). Played DDR & omg I actually got hyper at the mall yesterday too XD. I think it was the lemonade maybe. So yeah we were acting super pervy and we kept shouting BANOONOOS! From that video.

& walked over there today XD
Finally some more anime peoples to hang out with!

I still have a severe case of procrastination. I did my essay this morning when it was due today. & just winged it for the group presentation XD
I HATE ESSAYS

Oh & today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY CAT BANGLES!!!
She is now....*thinks*....4? Yeah 4!
She still looks 1. XD

*is still waiting anxiously to see if I'm in Wal-mart video*

~MidoriKimura Concert - I touched the Black Eyed Peas! http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24559585/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24559585/ Sun, 03 May 2009 04:48:00 PDT (btw I wanted to make a separate journal for this so my DA page isn't so long)
& I MIGHT BE ON TV!!!
Here lemme tell my story of awesomeness!

I was sooo excited that I won the text to win contest! Black Eyed Peas are my fav and I love them! But I was so close to not going cuz I couldn't get a ride. But I ended up taking the bus and taxi there to Hollywood with my mom. It was worth it.
DON'T GO TO LA BY YOURSELF.O_O
We got there at Hollywood early at like 3:00, they weren't letting ppl in til 5:30. I was worried I would be late XD, but I was first! But the ride over there was pretty short.
So I had to endure lots of standing and waiting. Chatted with the security dude who was really cool. Then later this dude came out and was like,
"Oh hey we got our first fan here!" I was like haha yeah and he asked if I wanted to do an interview and I was like "Omg really?! Yeah!"
So he told me what I'm gonna say and I mentioned to him that I won the contest and that this was my first concert and the BEP were my fav band and he was like "Yeah! That's perfect! Say that!" Then he said he'll be back later to film it.
Then later came & I was sooo nervous! My face looked like crap. & it'll probably be in HD! D: I hope they digitally take the scar off my nose I was messing up in the beginning but I did it. Just said my name, where I'm from, that it's my first concert and I'm excited. I also did a separate take where I hold up this badge and say "All access Wal-mart Soundcheck!" So maybe I'll be in the video when it comes out!
Oh yeah, that's why they were filming it, for the Wal-Mart Soundcheck thing and it's gonna play in all the Wal-Mart stores!
I'll let you guys know!

So I waited in the formed line in front. I heard the BEPs sound testing! So anyways after evem MORE waiting, like a couple hours (god my feet & back hurt), they finally started letting people in. Well, the VIPs first. I was just a guest. They even gave them BEP T-shirts, which I wanted sooo bad. >.<
Almost eveyone was dressed up, like dresses, fancy shirts and heels. "Hollywood" style I guess. I was just in jeans & t-shirt, I don't care. Seriously, most of the girls looked like snobs. I don't think they were even really fans. One of them didn't even wanna wear the shirt.
*goes to conceited voice*
"Oh, I don't wanna like wear this shirt. I just want people to look at my beautiful self in my dress, so I'll take it off as soon as I can. Look at me, I'm a VIP!"
Lol, dang VIPs. I WANT THE SHIRT.
But then my dad told me that sometimes they need people like them all dressed up for promotions. & most of those people go just cuz they can.

Anyways, sorry about that. XD
So when I got in I made sure I got a good close spot to stand, which I did! The front left side. It was like I-could-grab-their-legs-if-I-wanted-to close, LOL.
There was like 100 people or so inside. Not too big of a place.

After EVEN MORE waiting and listening to the DJ's music while my feet hurt so bad, the Peas finally came out!!!
They were sooo AWESOME!!! Fergie looks skinnier in real life! She was very pretty! And I loved what the guys were wearing. I want Will's beanie!!! XD
So they played (forgot the order):
-Let's Get It Started
-Pump It
-My Humps
-Boom Boom Pow
I think when they first came out they were singing random stuff, but I forgot. I just know I didn't recognize it. I think Fergie smiled at me but I'm not sure. But she was looking down kinda where I was. But she did wave and smile to a lot of people. So idk. I smiled back anyway .
I managed to get one of the fake money that Fergie threw!http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24559121/ Sun, 03 May 2009 03:42:17 PDT Lol, it should be called "L: Rocks my World"! *shot*
Well Kenichi Matsuyama IS cute

So me, my sis, my cousin and our friend cosplayed as L to the movie again! & we were the first ones there again XD.
I will post up pics soon. I don't have the camera with me right now.
But omg it was sooo much fun!!!
We met up with a couple friends from the last movie and met a couple new ones.
My speakers were broken . Although we did do caramelldansen for like less than a minute cuz they brought speakers too XD.
There was a lot more people than last time it seemed like.
Luckily there were no jerks this time to spoil our fun.
& I passed out my lolipops, hehehe. Craziness. & I kinda got Yaoi paddled with a Death Note Whatever that means. Curse you Yagami!!!

The movie was SO CUTE, SAD AND FUNNY!!! Everyone was like fangasming over L of course. & me too I'll admit.
& everytime it showed how many days L had left, we were all like "Nooo!" and "Awwwwwwww"
Although someone was like "Get over it!", I think they were kinda joking though but that was funny. We still gasped anyway.
I also got inspired to draw a couple things XD. I'll draw them soon hopefully.
But yeah it was so fun cheering, whooing and whistling for L! Being around other fans really makes it a bajillion times funner! & everyone really gets along .
& wow people were actually crying too! I barely even got teary, but not much. & there was more blood in the movie than I expected, haha.
& L ran!!!!

So when it was over it was so sad. I was like "Bye everyone!!!" and everyone's like "Bye!!!" and then my cousin's like "See you at Anime Expo!!!" and we were like "YEAH ANIME EXPO!!!"
& I think we'll now be sharing our hotel room with our friends cuz they're going all 4 days like us. I think the 3 of them. Hopefully there's enough room XD. Plus it'll lower the cost.^^
Then we hung out for a while outside the theatre and took some more pics and I got a little video. It's hard to remember to take pics XD.
& there were lots of hugs! Even by me .__.

So overall it was fun. There were like 4-5 Misa's. 10 or more L's. 2-3 Light's. And 1 Near. We'll that's all I saw in the beginning, there might've been more cosplayers I didn't see.

Haha and we did some lemonade chugging (free refills! Cuz were childish and cool like that XD) at the place that has the BEST strawberry lemonade ever! Red Robin! So much for me drinking only water...XD.
& at the hotel we worked out at the gym, swam, and went to the Sauna for the first time.^^

We found out who our other roommate was. She was 18 like us. She was really nice at first, but then me & my friend thought she was kinda annoying after a while.
She was kind of, as my friend said a "know-it-all". and very happy (but that's not a bad thing!^^).
But then after another while she was ok. She's very nice. Just not the type of person we would usually hang out with

As for the University tours....

UC San Diego was really nice! Huge campus. Good food places and events that go on there and it was very close to the beach. Which explains the many surfer dudes there XD. I was actually considering transferring there if they had my major.... But I wanna stay here in LA. Or close.

San Diego State University.....did not like at all! Buildings weren't colorful. Just tan. Boring to me.___. & It looked like a church/those missions. Although academically it was good. But me no likey.

UC Irvine was cool. They're mascot was an Anteater!!! I thought that was cute!^^ Especially the Anteater plushies!XD The campus look nice, it was like a park. & it was built like a circle, which I though was interesting. You wouldn't get lost XD, just follow the sidewalk.

So that's it! Still wanna transfer to CSU Fullerton though. Or CSU Los Angeles.^^

I haven't had time for drawing cuz of school stuff. & when I do get the chance, I'm not in the mood...
*sigh*
Now to go work on my essay and finish it early.
I have a 'D' in Enlgish!!!

I didn't get much chocolate other than what it cousin shared with me.
But my dad got me a Death Note wallet & said that was my easter present.
& I didn't get to make eggies!!!!!! D8
Like those Naruto ones I showed ya last year.

Oh I have a question for the Sasuke cosplay I'm makin my sis.
I've looked & some pics & can't tell if his collar is sewn on separately or attatched to his shirt. I think it could go either way but idk which is better.
So idk how do u guys think it goes? (blue outfit btw)

It took me & my cousin a while to find the her grandma's sewing machine. It was super dusty!
Yeah. I gotta re-teach myself how to thread the machine. *hasn't used a sewing machine since 7th grade*
XD Then I'll be able to do the final sewing.

Twice in the past week I found a maggot in my rice AFTER I had eaten some. (at home, not restraunts)
I HATE bugs. & it always seems to be ME to find them in my food. Now I'm very cautious with rice (when my mom or brother makes it)

Hmmm...what else......
On Sunday we went to get some fabric for my sister's Sasuke Cosplay for Anime Expo. I'm excited! Hopefully we'll start on it this weekend.
& I'll probably buy my Itachi Cosplay fabric & stuff next month.
We were gonna buy our costumes at first, but then we wanna be like "Yeah, I made it. Myself."
Plus I can't find really GOOD costumes online. So I will attempt to make costumes for the first time!
Unless something goes terribly wrong and then we gotta buy them *knocks on wood*
Will post progress in scraps most likely.^^

Oh & I saw this black & white striped shirt at Hot Topic, & it makes me wanna buy it and cosplay as Matt from Death Note!!! Cuz I wanna go as someone from Death Note as well.....

~MidoriKimura Fun day on the set http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24044505/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24044505/ Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:57:48 PDT Okay I finally have time to talk about my awesome day on Wednesday.
I got visit the set of my favorite show!
"How I Met Your Mother"

Although the whole cast wasn't there, I did get to meet two of them!!!
The cast:
[link] Josh Radnor (was there, met him)
[link] Neil Patrick Harris (was there, didn't meet)
[link] Jason Segel (wasn't there )
[link] Cobie Smulders (was there, met her)
[link] Alyson Hannigan (wasn't there )

Guests:
[link] Sarah Chalke (mostly known from "Scrubs")
Jason Jones
& some other guy

I even got an autograph pic from the whole cast! (not in person though)
Look!----->[link]
They even put my name!

Okay first my dad took me to the building where they had the set so I can meet one of the set painters cuz she offered to show me around.
(It's @ Fox Studios btw, my dad works there so that's I got the connections to go )
So we walked in, it was really quiet cuz they were filming & I looked @ one of the tv screens & I saw they were filming in the living room set & I saw Josh Radnor & I was like "OMG!" in my mind. The other guy who plays Tony in the scene was there too, but I thought he was Jason Segal .
Then my dad left back to work & Claire(the painter) took me over to watch the scene. I swear I was shaking in excitement. After that scene she intoduced me to a few of the crew members who were all nice. Right before she intosuced me to one of the directors, I kept looking around cuz I was still in shock & then I looked at Josh Radnor talking to some dude & he looked @ me & I just smiled & turned away cuz I was nervous.

Then I was introduced to more ppl, & she told me to have a seat to watch the next scene. & omg...i saw the name on the chair I sat in & it was...Neil Patrick Harris' chair!!! He wasn't there yet though. & everyone doesn't seem to sit in their own chair anyway.
So then Sarah Chalke arrived for the scene. She was skinny! It's true about the camera adds 10 pounds! XD
After that I was still sitting & chattin with Claire & then I saw Cobie Smulders in front of us! She looked very happy too. & Claire was like "Hey Cobie! How are you?"
"Oh hey! Great thanks!"
"Oh Cobie, can you come over here for a minute?"
"Sure!"
In my mind: "Omg she's gonna introduce me to her!" So I got up.
Then Claire said "I want you to meet Larissa. She's a big fan of the show. Her dad works in the Stores Dept. so she came to visit the set and watch"
Cobie: "Oh cool! What's your name again?" *shakes my hand*
"Hi! Larissa"
"Larissa, nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too!"
She was really nice! & she really is pretty in person too.
I wish I wouldve said more, but I was still kinda shocked & speechless.
So she talked to Claire for a couple minutes, I think about Cobie's baby. (oh yeah she's pregnant btw. & due next month or somethin)

Then I went to watch the scene from a different angle & Claire said she'll introduce me to Josh later when he's not busy, cuz he was talking to a lot of people.
Then when later came, Josh got up & Claire took me over. She basically said the same thing to him. &... ]]> ~MidoriKimura Happy April Fools Day! http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24015153/ http://MidoriKimura.deviantart.com/journal/24015153/ Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:12:43 PDT Though I didn't get to fool anyone, haha.
(No fair! I don't get a snowman!)
I know I'm puttin this journal late, but that's cuz I had THE MOST FREAKIN AWESOMEST BUSY DAY!!! I'll tell you guys more about it tomorrow when I have more time.
I also made 3 April Fools comics & won't be able to post that til tomorrow either.
Ummm...oh yeah I officially bought the Death Note movie tickets.^^

Speaking of movies. I went to see "I Love You, Man" with my friend Vanny on Monday, especially since were fans of Jason Segal. He's awesome . The movie was freakin funny! I loved it.

I AM SUPER PISSED! MY GRANDMA IS SUCH A BITCH!!! (technically great grma)
But you know what she did?!!!!
SHE CUT MY DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION GAME! MY FAV GAME!
CUT! AS IN WITH SCISSORS!!!

I came home yesterday looking forward to playing DDR, especially cuz I just improved the previous night, & then I noticed the DDR dance pad wasn't working & then I looked at the cord...
IT WAS CUT! ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!
WTF?!!!!!!!
It was no accident, it was too perfect of a cut! It was her! And I can't confront her about it, it'll make things worse.
What? Was I stomping too loud the other day?! Well maybe you should say something or be a stupid nag like always & tell me to my face!!!
Luckily my brother knew how to fix it. But still...

I seriously need a punching bag...

I've NEVER done anything to her OR or her stupid crap every time she accuses US of "Distroying" (yeah she spells it like that!).
In fact I do my best to not be in the same room as her to avoid her.
My brother is the one who treats her like crap and steals her stuff and all that! NOT ME! And how does she treat him?
She buys him an iPod! And a bike! & gives him money when he begs! & trust me, he doesn't deserve it!
Don't think I'm jealous. Not at all. I just hates how she treats us AND our friends.(which is why we don't have them come over most of the time)

UGH. I'VE NEVER HATED THAT STUPID-NASTY-EVIL-HYPOCRITICAL-PREJUDICE-RACIST-OLD HAG SO MUCH IN MY LIFE!!!!
(yes, those are the most perfect words to describe her)

& my mom pissed me off even more. "Maybe you should have put it away". Oh & how was I supposed to know she would go that far?
I'm really starting to hate my mom more & more. Trust me I have good reasons, but I'm not gonna get too personal on here.
I couldn't even finish watching "Lost" she pissed me off so much.

Stupid grandma. Grandmas are supposed to be sweet. But her...oh god NO.
I could go on and on explaining how she's ruined our lives, but I just stop right here.
*sigh* Can't do anything about her now. Just gotta wait til we or I move out.......or...until she dies!!!! D: (she like in her late 80's btw) There's only one reason I WANT her to live.

*sigh*
Well sorry for being like this, I'm usually a happy person with happy face journals.
Just....UGHHHH! I've was thinking about it all day!

"Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, who openly declared that he liked shounen-ai, his favourite pairing was SaskuexNaruto and that he was going to give the manga an end of that nature. Though it's going to be an open-ending, it will be preceptible that Sasuke and Naruto end up together"

Mini-conference - ExpoAnime (USA):
"A group of fans asked Kishimoto what he thought about the doujinshi and fanfics of this pairing. He simply responded that it was his favourite pairing and that he always collected stuff of it. In addition, he stated that he wanted to give the manga a Shounen-ai ending" (confirming it twice)

After the interview, Kishimoto revealed that Sasuke was based on his best friend from High School, whome he admired and loved very much, and that Naruto was a reflection of himself and the adventures he would have liked to experience when he was young. He also emphasized that in the series there is not a love triangle, but rather a circle, like a fish biting its own tail. Naruto like Sakura, Sakura love Saskue and Sasuke has special feelings for Naruto. However, he ended the note saying that Shippuden was going to be mainly about the fights and character development."
...
I don't believe it. & not just cuz I'm not into Yaoi/Shounen-ai("Boy Love"). Even if I was I wouldn't believe it.
First of all,
There is no "ExpoAnime" in the U.S. and I even checked.
There IS an "AnimeExpo" here in LA, but I know for a fact that Masashi Kishimoto has never been there!(I would know)
Second, there is no official source! It's just been on people's blogs and stuff.
Also, I don't even think Kishimoto would give out huge spoilers like that. In OFFICIAL interviews I've read he's always secretive about the manga.
Plus it's a Shounen manga. Why would they put some Shounen-ai ending? Makes no sense.
& Sasuke wasn't based on anyone. An editor suggested to make a rival for Naruto, then that's when Sasuke was created. He even said he was difficult to create.
Sooooooooo....
99.9% FAKE!

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh Black Eyed Peas!!!!!
At first I was just like, it's pretty good. Cuz it's sounds different than the BEPs other songs. But now it's one of my favs! Now I'm all dancin & singing to it (when no one's around!)
Dang. It's been like...4 years since their last album!(omg since I was a freshman?!O.o) So much torture in waiting!!!>:U
But still gotta wait til June for their new one to come out in stores...
LOL, Sorry I'm in like Super BEP Fan Mode right now XD
I <3 them all!!!
*needs to buy that awesome BEP hat I've been wanting*

Uhhh yeah...anyways!
I love my Japanese class! We call the teacher Yuka-sensei and when she calls roll, we gotta say "Hai!" (yes) instead of "Here".
& she taught us rock, paper, scissors in Japanese. Very fun class indeed.^^

Oh I've been too busy with stuff to PS my drawings
Mostly with figuring out some AnimeExpo stuff. Lol, ~monicathecat said it's like were planning a wedding . I guess it is, only no one's getting married and we WANT to dress up!XD
Only 119 days left!
No I did not count the days! This app on my ipod does it for me!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY CHIBIKO! (sheesh so many b-days lately!)

It was on the 16th. Even though I know she can't go on DA much, go wish my lil dorky, goofy, wierd, idiot sister.
Sadly I didn't draw her somethin. But maybe sometime later.

Partaaaaay this weekend though!!! Lol, not really. Maybe. No adults will be at my cousin 's house. (technically except me, BUT I DON'T COUNT!) It'll be me, my sis, my cousin, & our friend. So partaaay! (I needs to get some lemonades )

Omg I passed my math with a B! NO MOAR MATHS!!!!!!!!!!!

I know everyone is warning ppl on jounals already but...
In case you haven't heard, spam is going around so don't be stupid & click the "CLICK HERE" comments cuz it will take you to a page that looks like DA & they'll ask you to log in & they'll steal your password. Just spam it.

I got a photobucket finally! & uploaded some pics. If anyone wants to see [link] I was so shocked when one of the AnimeExpo vidoes sound was working! Cuz I had deleted them accidently.

I think I might go see that Street Fighter movie on the 28th with ~thetoondevil. Although I've never played the games before. But Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas (my fav band) is gonna be in it!

Also I was lookin at cosplay costumes for AX09, & I kinda really wanna go as Akatsuki Sasuke...but idk. We were gonna go as the 3 Uchihas.
Me as Itachi
My sis as Sasuke
My cousin as Tobi/Madara

Next week I have the week off. So I can finally work on drawings!

We just got it back today, after practically a month!
(& why does my DA look different?)
So, I'll probably go through all the deviations tomorrow. Don't have much time today.

I picked up "Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Case" on the weekend & read it & it was really good. There was just a couple parts I got confused on XD

Which reminds me, we went back to that comic place last week & the guy who plays Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) in Harry Potter was there XD. He's all skinny now & looks different. Our friend went up to him & took a couple pics. I would've asked for an autograph if we didn't have to pay.

Oh you know what sucks? Me & my friend went to the mall on the weekend so I could get my dad his present & finally buy myself a MicroSD card so I could save the videos & pics from my phone, but I lost my phone on the way to the bus! & could'nt find it.

Oh, I can't wait for the Naruto Shippuden game!!! It looks fun!
