A good month later and we're due for some hailings in from the West Coast! For those with less stable internet connections, I regrettably must forewarn that this post is saturated with PC-cancer inducing fattiness and that any clicks on the following LJ-cut are at one's own risk. Not to mention the amount of crazy crack and insanity that typically follows.

... Still here? Well then, may I kindly present to you Sakura-Con 2009! ♥



( We All Scream For Cheesecake! )

Many many many more images are available at my Flickr photostream and mostly likely much more viewer-friendly in presentation; the particular set for this year's con is located here. There's a chock full of images from the Evangelion photoshoot, the Pokemon photoshoot, and simply tons others. Have at it!

Thanks to everyone for looking and another shoutout to all those fantastic individuals that made this year as fantastic as it was (you know who you are). Love you all tons! ♥

I'm sorely tired of seeing my silly mug on my front page, aside from the fact I haven't updated since, so I kind of hastily threw this together - just a tossed salad of some recent scrawlings from my sketchbook to doodles on homework. Most of it's Pokemon, but I ended up throwing in just a tinge of outsiders: namely a bit of Okami, Keroro Gunsou, and a smidget of Samurai 7.

There's also a tiny side-bite of porn, but I've set it as a link only for those who are peeking through more moderated screens. ;P

( We Could Be Heroes - If Just For One Day! )

At some point I'd like to dive through my box of art and old scraps in storage in want of some fandom!nostalgia. Maybe this'll give me a reason to spice this place up a bit more? ♥

'Tis all quite random, but I was flicking through my cameraphone the other night and found some of the pictures I took of our crazy creations back in my Cooking Class this senior year. I forgot I had all these buggers sitting around! Just to taunt you all, everything was absolutely delicious.

Image-heavy post ahead! Dial-up users, please beware!



( What's Momma Cooking In Her Kitchen Tonight? )

I love food. ♥
I'm really attached to these photos, so I kindly ask that no one takes any of these as stock photos, graphical editing, etc. Thanks everyone!

NOTE: Erika, you don't need to worry about us starving in our dorms coming fall anymore. I'll take care of you. ;P

I'm taking advantage of Winter Break to indulge in some fanarts drawingness. Yes, indeed!

I'd appreciate it if you'd avoid giving me very general requests, like simply giving me a character or a pairing. Try to define a certain specific, such as a theme, a required object, gesture, etc. Meanwhiles, I'm open to whatever you're willing to throw at me (but no porn this time, so sorry!).

Status: All 5 Slots Closed

Mostly video spam, but also a heads up. I'm leaving for California (a road trip down all the way to Sacramento, egads!) this very Friday, so, uh, very limited online time for me until the 21st of August (presumably we'll be back by then).

Enjoy your summer meanwhiles! ♥

For you, raihu. Notably, I'll never be able to look at Boba the same way again. And apologies beforehand if you've already seen this, dear!

( More Crack!Videos Behind This Line! )

raihu, before you disappear off on me again, here's something I've been meaning to show you for the longest time. ♥

And Erika, here's a link to the "Wizard of Oz" Tin Man/Scarecrow slash!fic promised: "Friends of Dorothy". Can you believe it was written way back in 1998? Fortunately, it proves as good as my memory made it out to be.

Sakura-Con's straight this Friday, thus a heads up that I won't be present until the Monday of next week. raihu, I'll make it my personal mission to respond to all our lovely conversations upon my return like the ones concerning PL that I have yet to coherently respond to. ♥

Not cosplaying, I swear I'll go as either Ukyo or one of the Kamuro from Samurai 7 next time around, but this time the group's rented a room for the weekend, so this allows for more crazy unhealthy otaku insanity - which will result in our foursome returning literally as con-feverish stupefied half-starved zombies. That and more hours at the Marketplace so I can actually buy more than the 9 or so doujinshi I purchased last year COMPARED TO JACKIE'S 30 GAZILLION SOMETHING. Though, again, there's always that problem that all the fandoms/pairings I look for are decidely minor-ific...

Anyway, con report later on. The rest of you enjoy your Spring Break! Like a certain Erikuz who's headin' down to sunny CA RATHER than coming with me for the time of her life! ♥

( Look, Old!Art! ... Again! )

Lately I've been on a reading spree and it just so happened that my first victim was "What Love Means to You People" by NancyKay Shapiro. The first romance novel I've ever picked up (with the exception of the infamous novel "Lolita") and already I'm starting to wonder if the term "romance novel" is just a euphemism for soft-core often messed-up porn. I bet my bottom dollar it is.

That and I just couldn't get over how one of the main characters, a gay man by the name of Jim, was practically screaming throughout the book, "WE MUST HAVE THIS BABY!"

I've never known anyone (yes, I understand he's fictional, but he seriously has some issues) to be so obsessed with having a child. I mean he even ends up sleeping with the sister of his lover just so she can pop out a pair of baby girls to keep him happy. And he enjoyed the het!sex at the same time (that's sure going to make Seth happy, huh?).

Yeah.
( More Art of the Eye-Scarring Kind Behind the Cut, Harr! )

Thus explaining why I'm going through novels of the Arthurian Literature kind again, specifically ones concerning Mordred (so much love for the man). Screw your Arthur/Lancelot crap, Arthur/Mordred incest!slash is the OTP! >:D

I swore to God that I'd resist filling out any memes (how do you pronounce that damn word?), but my valiant efforts failed upon running across one concerning doujinshi. Needless to say, I ended up snagging my first sin meme from kurot. Apologies for the insanely long/detailed responses - I got way too carried away with this. >_<;
