^ My first attempt at Cloud Strife.

< Old blue snowmobile jumpsuit, shmmering yellow wig, and a plastic machete as my Buster Sword (couldn't find any toy armor for his left pauldron), not too bad for a first try though I'll say.

V If you were to write your life story starting from your first con to present, how epic would it be?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #26651 on:** November 05, 2012, 04:04:25 pm »

^Not that epic

< It would be very awkward as I try to understand the world of cosplay and feeling rather foolish sometimes. It owuld be an emotional tale of growing up

V Weirdest thing you did at your first convention?

Chan_Highwind · « **Reply #26652 on:** December 14, 2012, 06:45:36 am »

^ Look for a Green Left Shoe, kidnapped a person from her friends (who ended up becoming one of my best friends!) to find it, and before all of that became the "security" for Random Panel of DOOM!!!!!!! because I was in my OC Turk/FFVII Character's cosplay. -nodnod-

< but really, is that super odd? something always happens to each person at each con, regardless of what number it is...

^ I usually never do. I kinda like surprises...even though I wait for the schedule to come out with great anticipation every year.

< Saw a 1-up hat at the store that would flow great with my Luigi cosplay. (Bought it, and it kinda works)

< I was in a dance class and it had no connection to the class XD

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26660 on:** May 02, 2013, 04:32:32 pm »

^ My quest for a good quality laptop felt the more satisfying. (this year)

< I'm still embattled with my funds to save up for it. (I'm soooo close!)

V What is it you want most in this world, and could Jack Sparrow's compass guide you to it?

dark4ever · « **Reply #26661 on:** July 13, 2013, 10:10:45 pm »

^ I want a job in the city I'm moving to in about two months.

< I mean I'm excited to move to Portland, but finding a job while in Philomath isn't fun

V Have you ever moved?

CaptnPoptart · « **Reply #26662 on:** July 13, 2013, 10:16:01 pm »

^I have moved when I was 6 to a new house and then two months later a new school. I loved my new house, but as I got older, I missed my old one. I still do, even though my room might of been a little smaller.

< Ordering the last item i need to order for cosplay: my lab coat! I have it in my cart currently, but I'm browsing around and then some for other things to get. When you have $52, you just want to go on a shopping spree x)

V Are you more of a spender or a saver?

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #26663 on:** July 22, 2013, 08:14:08 pm »

^ Well I never have money so that's hard to say... But... I guess a spender. When I get money it's always just enough to get something I've really wanted for a long time so I spend it in no time at all. ;u;

< Sitting around waiting for my mom to get back so we can go to the little store.

V What's your favorite (non-anime) tv show?

JaegerDarkness · « **Reply #26664 on:** July 22, 2013, 10:21:29 pm »

^ Ice Road Truckers

< Watching the news

V What is your favorite Vocaloid song?

Romo · « **Reply #26665 on:** August 24, 2013, 11:20:21 pm »

^I don't have one, Vocaloid music isn't really my thing. It was just...too mechanical, I guess. Though I remember I kinda liked this one Kaito song that came out a lonnnnngggg time ago...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRvy176a9g, but that's a stretch to "favorite"...
<Is so prone to losing things she might as well make a career out of it, too bad she'd probably end up losing the job too. BADUMPTSH.

JaegerDarkness · « **Reply #26666 on:** August 24, 2013, 11:24:12 pm »

^ Mentally, yes. Cosplay-wise, no way
< Planning on finishing my stuff tonight thought.
V Umm, how far do you live from con?

V What is your favorite "Hetalia: Axis Powers" nation?

CaptnPoptart · « **Reply #26669 on:** August 29, 2013, 03:39:01 pm »

^ Well Uhhh...I don't really watch Hetalia anymore, but my favorites would include Germany, America, Prussia (my favorite ;w; ) and Russia.

< Tired as heck and looking for my Pokeball TT.TT I dont wanna lose it!!! Well my friends come over tomorrow night to go to K-con with me, so maybe I'll pay them to find it without trashing my room x) But I have an idea with where it may be.

V Do you have anyone going to the convention with you? If so, are they cosplaying? And who as?

JaegerDarkness · « **Reply #26670 on:** August 29, 2013, 05:55:16 pm »

^ My mom. She doesn't do cosplay.
< Eating dinner.
V Do you have any friends doing Vocaloid, Naruto, or Durarara cosplays? ((PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!! I DON'T WANNA BE "FOREVER ALONE" BECAUSE IT WOULD SUCK!!!!!))

^ No, but I have a retired Kida cosplay from when I cosplayed from Durarara a few years ago~
< Got over being sick just in time for con, like a boss.
V What are you most looking forward to about Kumoricon this year?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26672 on:** November 09, 2013, 04:41:03 pm »

^ Well since I'm now answering after K con 2013 is past, I'll answer about 2014.
looking foreward to...being more prepared for con (hotel, pre-reg, peeps). last year I was late to half the stuff and it came and gone in the blink of an eye.

< Prepared or not, con season is always a thrilling adventure.

V on time and ill-prepared or fully prepared and a little late?

Riitah~ · « **Reply #26673 on:** November 09, 2013, 05:02:13 pm »

^ Fully prepared and a little late for sure.

< Although It's rare I am fully prepared =/

V How prepared are you usually for cons?

JaegerDarkness · « **Reply #26674 on:** November 09, 2013, 05:05:40 pm »

^ On time and fully prepared.
< Using my iPad.
V Do you like Gintama?

Romo · « **Reply #26675 on:** November 26, 2013, 08:28:41 pm »

^ I've never watched it.

< Getting ready to direct a scene tomorrow.

V What's your favorite movie? (non-animated)

Riitah~ · « **Reply #26676 on:** December 02, 2013, 03:30:06 pm »

^ Probably Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Beruchi baka · « **Reply #26678 on:** February 06, 2014, 05:20:12 pm »

^ Oatmeal raisin cookie. Mmm.
< Making scones! <3
V Do you like baking?

Raveen92 · « **Reply #26679 on:** February 07, 2014, 12:56:19 am »

^ Not really tried it, I do though like making homemade pasta infused with rosemary and basil.
< I'm looking through my Swap Meet Stuff and Organizing.
V What's your opinion on the snow currently in the Northwest?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26680 on:** February 09, 2014, 07:59:53 pm »

^ Was fun and powdery on day 1, turned icy and unforgiving on day 3. The stores closing early over the weekend was kinda deflating.
Snow in the bottom half of winter -- better late than never I guess.

< Remembering all that I scored in previous swap meets.

V coolest item in your collection of anime/games/whatnot stuff?

Beruchi baka · « **Reply #26681 on:** February 09, 2014, 09:36:53 pm »

^Star Buck's 5 chocolate hot cocoa, from the original Starbucks on Pike Street Market.
<Talking to Boyfriend and playing pokemon
V What is the most interesting thing that happened this week?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26683 on:** March 31, 2014, 01:01:49 am »

^ Changed in and out of 3 different cosplays for three different events that cancelled one after another. Settled for wearing casual clothers to a friend's place. Friend did not cancel.

< just as interesting but more exciting, got a new mattress for my bed.

V Has your sleep gone from rough to fluffy recently?

CaptnPoptart · « **Reply #26684 on:** May 15, 2014, 05:37:50 pm »

^ I don't know what you mean by that, but if you mean terrible to soft and grand, I would have to say so i guess. My comforter has been pretty fluffy for a while so i guess there wasnt any change to the texture C:

< I am THIIIS close to getting a new job! Will surely come in handy for raising money for cosplays and K-con overall. Money has been tight with our family recently, so i can't force my mother to go down and get us a hotel :c but I may stay in a hotel with my friend and raise money to pay for it some. But, I still don't know whether to just go for a day or most of the 4 days.

V Do you heavily prepare yourself in any way for conventions? Not like packing, but like rehearsing poses and such.

Prinz Eugen · « **Reply #26685 on:** May 19, 2014, 01:15:07 pm »

^ Depending on my presentations, I often d/l images and create talking point notes, of course, the AMV stuff took months of prep, and I am now doing anime and general video programming for a couple of other cons happening throughout the year; that too takes at least a month and a half before the particular con.

< Has cancelled pretty much ALL cons & hobby activity and even some yard maintenance because I am dropping EVERYTHING to study up on US Patent law - I hope to take and pass their Patent Bar Exam in a few more months of prep - BUT it's taking everything I've got - nights, weekends, etc. This will be a real {#$%$!!} of an exam.
I really hope I can pass it and get back on with LIFE.

V - Who's got cool plans for Memorial Day 2014?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26686 on:** August 18, 2014, 11:32:03 pm »

^ Can't remember what I did that day. But I do know what I did on Mothers Day...finally made her a card.
It might have been only a week before Cancer promoted her to angel status (passed away), but at least I had no regrets that I knew of.

< it's been a life changing spring and summer. Lost my parents to Cancer and Diabetes one after the other, couldn't get work so I had to move in with my aunt and uncle, if only just for June, as their house was being bought and had to move themselves. Hopped over to a foster home in mid July. It's been no easy ride adjusting to it all.
Through the smoke and flames and plot twists my life has thrown me, I'm still the hardy and heartfelt character behind the cosplay. The con on the horizon, obstacles seem to melt away before me. Had only little time and resources to fashion together anything new, but all my old cosplays survived the two moves, and whatever fresh additions I have should be just what I need. In a few short days we can finally say...our home and friends are only a bridge away.
(this has been an update in the humble roller coaster known as the life of TurboSaiyanJason. we now return you to your regularly scheduled con forums)

What, other than the usual, are you anticipating the most for con this year?

Animeman73 · « **Reply #26687 on:** September 02, 2014, 11:39:48 am »

^ Okay granted the convention is over now. But I was looking forward to Bedtime Stories and Otaku over 25. And incidentally both turned out wonderfully thank you very much.

< Currently working my writing project and enjoying some quiet time on my first post con day.

v Has anyone got any good anime they can recommend?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #26688 on:** October 15, 2014, 09:46:43 am »

^ Yes, I do.

< The list includes: El-Hazard: The Wanderers, Maria-Holic, and The Melancholy of Haruhi-Chan Suzumiya.

V When was the last time you watched an episode of Sesame Street?

superjaz · « **Reply #26689 on:** October 17, 2014, 09:58:32 pm »

^ Today, it was just added back to Netflix and I tossed an episode for Max, had cookie monster eating an apple. But then kiddo grabbed the controller and put it on Peg+cat

< I can recite lots of children's programing songs now. My Sons current favorite is Peg + Cat, its cute he's 3 and was trying to count his fingers from watching the show and jumps during counting. The songs are catchy and the puns are heavy too.

v They have a go cart called hot buttered lighting (isn't that an awesome name?)
If you have a gocart what would you name it?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #26690 on:** October 17, 2014, 10:48:20 pm »

^ "Skidding Suicide."

< I love Peg+Cat! That show is clever! I love how the clouds are drawn out with the infinity symbol!

V What did you do to bring in the new millennium?

superjaz · « **Reply #26691 on:** October 23, 2014, 08:29:41 am »

^ babies, an awesome recipe for BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp, and my sense of integrity.

<Halloween is coming up tho my kiddo doesn't like hats or things covering his head, making a costume hard. We take him by cedar hill's mall, and like the 3 (out of 30) apartments giving out treats.

V batman rain jacket for the win? ( he is okay with the hood down)
Also what's the deal with both few houses giving out treats and (which makes sense) lack of trick or treaters?

Prinz Eugen · « **Reply #26692 on:** December 26, 2014, 02:49:58 pm »

^ Fewer tick-or-treaters and fewer houses... Hmm. I think that culture has changed in a couple of ways: Most of these traditions, including the song 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' - which is about begging for delicious, high-calorie traditional Christmas foods - especially desserts - came from a time when actually destitute people and families would literally drop by to beg, or offer some handywork around the house in exchange for a place at the dinner table or even a spot to sleep out in the barn or in a hayloft. A higher level of trust between strangers needed to exist. 'Peak Hobo' was reached during the depression right before WW2, with something like 25% of males unemployed. After WW2 we invented suburbs and subdivisions (cf 'Levittowns.') Then came drug days of the '60s, which turned the 'happy hobo' image with the wooden pole and sack on the end of it into the strung out hippie scrounging through your garage uninvited and possibly with a stolen weapon, and that was the beginning of the end. By now most people don't really interact with their own neighbors too much anymore, (for a number of reasons you can google but which may be too un-PC for this forum) and trust between strangers has dropped precipitously. One result: many of today's parents seem to prefer an anonymizing element between giver and receiver. Hence the transition to packing up the kids in the SUV and heading off to the mall for trick-or-treats, rather than walking your own neightborhood with goofy, fun lanterns.

< Now designing automotive harness connectors.

V - What will it be like to cosplay when you're SIXTY?

CyberIncision · « **Reply #26693 on:** June 02, 2015, 06:23:17 am »

^ Depends on what I try to cosplay! But I imagine it will be much the same, just more people going why the hell.... Unless my friends all still are at it too, in which case it might become the norm!

< I miss the forums in how they used to be full! I am going to be spewing cosplays out again soon. and I miss my friends!

V Do you miss the old forums?

superjaz · « **Reply #26694 on:** June 02, 2015, 05:12:04 pm »

^A lot, I have other groups but not that share the nerdy/geek/anime stuff, esp since I am not as able to be involved in the community in person as much as I used to be.

<Would really like to more involved with kcon but right now are in the middle of year one (which have been told is the hardest) of an developmental diagnosis for my 3 1/2 year old, doesn't really mix well.

V Insurance hoops and paper work suck doesn't it?

CyberIncision · « **Reply #26695 on:** June 03, 2015, 03:56:50 am »

^ That is surely very stressful! It can be a lot to handle especially at first! My husband has Aspergers and that can get hard by itself every once in awhile. For such a young kid who doesnt even know whats going on themselves, I'm sorry it's been so rough for you and your little one :/ Insurance and paper work ALWAYS suck :/

< I can't even afford insurance and I am about to get tested for diabetes D:

V What do you think the worst illness (besides cancer) would be?

superjaz · « **Reply #26696 on:** June 03, 2015, 06:37:59 am »

^ for me it would probably be diabetes (sorry!), the juvenile kind more I think because of the emotional effect it has on me. My best friend died of it at 20, if it had a face I would punch it. I remember getting tested (when preggers) for it, they have you drink this nasty sweet drink like kool that is wrong (after the test bring a snack or a drink with you to settle stomach)

<I have heard some people like the drink, but I never really liked the super bright colored kids drinks growing up.

V. Favorite kids drink growing up?

CyberIncision · « **Reply #26697 on:** June 03, 2015, 08:57:47 am »

^would that friend be Mel? I was partial to soda but my favorite drink as a young kid was applejuice.

<I used to call it Aboosh!

V What quirky kid thing did you do?

superjaz · « **Reply #26698 on:** June 03, 2015, 09:55:32 pm »

(No it was a guy friend)
^I LOVED to dip French fries in my milkshake and I would try to dip the other end in ketchup, so good. Other then that I was the "good one"

<I like to cook and experiment with cooking, n food manga. Tried making a steak dish from the manga "food wars"
it turned out pretty decent!

It was marinated in minced onions that were then used in the sauce!

V If you could try a dish from any anime what would it be?

Prinz Eugen · « **Reply #26699 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:49:30 pm »

^ YUMMY:

Not exotic, but you know what it's like to enjoy a dish so that you *know* what it smells and tastes like when you see it in a photo? Well, basic Ramen like in any hole in the wall restaurant in Japan with a sign with characters on hanging fabric flaps that read "chu-ka ra-men" (中華拉麺.)

Anime characters who are adults such as office workers often grab a bowl after work and sometimes a large bottle of beer or three. In some anime sometimes the landlady takes pity on the young, male, broke-a$$ deadbeat who somehow becomes the center of a harem show, and will defray some or all of a rent payment if the kid treats her to a bowl of 中華拉麺. I have been to a number of Stateside restaurants, but there's just something missing. When I see it in anime, I'm like "YUM-dammit I want some!"

< Had a chance to eat WHALE in Japan and it was meaty and delicious. Whaling in the US continued until the 1920s when petroleum became cheaper for lamp oil and lubricants. But many Americans in New England and San Francisco in the 19th century would have had a chance to enjoy whalemeat, and many women wore whalebone corsets. Read Melville - not just "Moby Dick," but try "Billy Budd, Foretopman."

V What other hobbies do you do that they DON'T usually have cons for, BUT you'd like to see at added to a con?
