Japanese Citizenship...O.o

Well...I looked up those sites I was talking about, but I have to be a japanese citizen, or at least live in japanese to become a manga artist and enter one of their competitions.

Soo...becoming a japanese citizen is ALMOST the same as America, except you have to show your skill in some way to prove that you can survive on your own and what-not...So that means I need to find a REALLY high paying job that I can do...

And ideas? I can't become a doctor...because...Ermm...I'm not a doctor kind of person. I could become somebody political, but that'd be weird looking...I could become a singer, but I heavily doubt that (I don't have ANY idea what Americans like in their singers...I mean, Miley Cyrus? Taylor Swift? How are they popular!?)...actress...I could MAYBE become that...but that takes a TON of ambition for acting, which I don't have...unless I got to an audition and somehow become an actress for several movies, it's not gonna happen...

Ermm...DIRECTOR! I need to learn how to direct, first, then I think I can improve a ton from there...It's either my destiny to become a manga artist or a movie director...Because I have this certain observing eye...

What are other outstanding jobs that pay a ton? Really...I REALLY want to become a manga artist...I mean REEEAALLLYYY!! I mean, most people do, and I think if we figure this out...Muahaaahaaahh, Japan gets a rush in of American immigrants who become naturalized! >:) That'll show 'em to be so strict! >:)

That or marry a japanese guy...which...I don't think I'll do...unless in the process of naturalization something happens..What happens if you divorce said person? That'd be like...picking some random japanese off the street, marrying him for citizenship, and then divorcing him a few months after...XD Ohohoho! That's such a funny idea! No....I wouldn't do that...

So I should begin studying now...and then I can study for another 5 years in Japan, while having a really high paying and good job, and THEN I can get my citizenship, and THEN I can become a manga artist and THEN I can live my life in peace...kinda...O.o

Sounds really hard, will be really hard, but man, I have 70 more years ahead of me...or more than that...Depends on what happens, y'know.

Okay, people, these are my plans if ya want to hitch along!

Study in high school as much japanese as possible, while studying their culture bit by bit, keeping up grades in school, and improving in art (it's actually pretty easy, I've already done a majority of my plans this year...XD)

Then in college, make good grades again, get a good job, study more japanese, improve more in art, enter as many contests as possible, commission a lot of stuff, study more japanese culture, take japanese classes

Then get a high paying job, which is why you went to the college of your choice with your minors and what-not (or go to an art college or something, or get a PHD or something), study more japanese, take more individual classes that fit into your time, pratice more art in free time, study more japanese culture, and try to make a HUGE savings account

Move to japan, begin naturalization process, find same job (better or a bit worse, but still really good), keep that job, know as much as you can to finish naturalization process, and become a citizen!

That'd probably take you until you're....in your early 30's...I don't think I would care since Naoko Takeuchi was around her 30's when she started and I have not dream to become a young manga artist, as long as a become one...

I guess the latest I could become one in my 70's...buuuutt....I've never heard of a manga artist that old and still working...O.o

So, do you think it's possible!? COME OTAKUS! LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO BECOME THE BEST!

Actually, thinking about this kinda makes me depressed...all that hardwork...TT^TT I'm too lazy!! TT^TT

ARG! MANGA! TT^TT

Oooh! The latest chapter of Reimei no Arcana is again, very juicy! It's much better than I thought it would be, and the artist has REALLY improved.

And then Deadman Wonderland...I'm not sure what's happened to the storyline...I mean, the characters are really interesting and I really want to know more about Senji's past, buuuut....what happened to the whole Red Man story? When will everyone FINALLY learn the truth about everything? It's irritating me not knowing more about the STORY...I'm okay with characters, but they way it's going right now, I can see the pattern, the only surprising part would be the character's backgrounds...but I already know that whoever is battling who will have their background story shown, then they'll win...and just keeps going on like that...How boring...>.>

Well, that's not the point of this post...The point is that I thought of a BRILLIANT story during school, but I forgot to write it down, so now while I'm creating my characters...I get a writer's block...>.>

The basic idea that I'm trying to remember is that there's this one rich guy who is somehow really famous who...I guess he captures, little boys off the streets who look very pretty, change their names so they aren't recognized, and then abuse them sexually...O.o Creepy idea, but that's what happens when you read Godchild and other stories so creepy (I've actually seen stories like this happen a lot in stories AND in real life...so that's the creepiest part).

Well, there will be one kid who DOES get captured, but he's different from the rest of the boys, and somehow tries to escape and tell the world about what the rich guy has done...I already have the character's names written down...I just...can't seem to write it...

And then I read Reimei no Arcana, get absorbed into that one...so now I'm stuck.

I keep getting a TON of different manga ideas and I keep TRYING to start them, but I don't and never get to them...Well, I WILL do Cosplay Wars, I've already started on the pages, I already have the cover, I just need more time and brain juice (I seem to have run out...O.o).

Well, I've been thinking towards the future if I DO want to become a manga artist...what manga will I start with!? I want to become MAYBE like Obata-sama....different, but I'd like to collaborate with some people...but I don't think I can START with a collaboration, I have to get myself known first...But I can't decide on a style or manga to do...None of them seem the same...I have creepy gothic to cutesy jpop to seinen manga to normal shounen-ish...And they're all very different...Oh, well, I'll figure something out...

And that really serious manga that I was just telling you about...I thought more and more about it...and it'll be short...a one shot...but with all my thoughts...I feel like making it an official one shot...like publishing it...So that makes me think...Maybe I could somehow send a one shot to a japanese manga magazine like shounen jump, and translate it into japanese (I'd need help with that, of course)...Hrmm...But I don't think I'm talented enough for that...I just wonder if I can access some of those sites...and if it's possible...

I'll go check...>:)

Okie! Bye-bye! I'm saying that now because I'll probably get lost in looking for such a site and forget what I'm talking about here...like usual...O.o

WOOOWW!!

I think I knew more about Jpop than the panel people...

Well, at the anime convention while we were waiting for the Quaff Q&A we asked my friend's mom to save us some seats, and we went exploring, then when we came back we saw a few of the last panel. It was something about learning more about Jpop.

Well, there was some singer on there that I recognized, then I realized that it was Yousei Teikoku, because I couldn't understand what the guy was saying, and I just figured it out myself. She sung one of the songs that I used to like called Wahrheit.

Then after that as soon as I heard the beginning I yelled 'Oooh! Capsule'...while I was thinking it was perfume, that the next song was from. It was Sugarless Girl, the video that they were showing. Then after that the guy was like 'Has anybody heard of capsule?' And I was the first to raise my hand confidently...actually, the only one to raise my hand confidently, everyone else slowly and shyly raised their hands. And then the guy asked 'Where were they from? Was it Nagoya-kei?'

And I'm sitting there like...'WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?' but then I thought he must know more about this then I do so he must be meaning that they were somehow Nagoya-kei before they became Shibuya-kei...but then he kept calling Nagoya-kei a place...and then I got even more confused...and then I just wanted to yell out 'THEY ARE SHIBUYA-KEI! SHI-BU-YAA!!' But I didn't...

He also called Yousei Teikoku the name of the singer, when it's actually a duo between the singer, Yui Itsuki, and Takaha Ichibana (which it turns out he worked with Kukui before, which is with Haruka Shimotsuki from Sound Horizon...O.o).

Wow, I'm surprised by all my knowledge...I guess it's true that I've probably heard of almost every jpop singer...Now, jrock is a different thing...I'm still getting into that...

If only I stayed there longer I would probably recognize almost all of the singers being shown that are somewhat jpop sounding...O.o What if they even had Kra on there!? *n* I wish I stayed for that...>.> I didn't know what it was...

My Crappy Pictures! XD

They're crappy because I took them with my camera phone, except for the 2nd one which my mom took at home with my dad's camera...but on flash because it was night time at the time...so it looks weird...O.o

I didn't feel like putting comments on the pictures, so I'll just say them here.

1: This is probably my favourite one...because they're probably the only people besides my friend who knew I was taking a picture! XD Also, I stalked these people down because I saw the Alice girl, and then the guy and I was like 'They look like the Cheshire Cat and Alice from Heart no Kuni to Alice! Must get their picture!" And I think that's what they were cosplaying. They did a GREAT job on it, too!

2: Me! XD It's a weird picture...O.o The more I look at my nose the more I think I look like Elijah Wood...O.o My mom was SUPPOSED to spray ALL of my hair black, but for some reason she wouldn't saying stuff like she likes it looking a little brown...But that's not what it's SUPPOSED to look like...Gosh, mom...>.> Trying to make a Near pose, but I failed...since my hands are in the wrong place...XD

3: This is funny! I was taking a picture of the fountain and I got some girl in the picture completely oblivious to the fact that I accidentally took a picture of her! XD

4: This was after everyone else took a picture of this person. He/She was like the only Sora there...O.o I don't think they noticed me taking the picture...XD

5: My friend as Hikaru Hiitachin as the Cheshire Cat. Her costume is AWESOME! It looks just like it, except she doesn't have the glove things, but I think it'd be easier if she didn't have them. She can't smile evilly! XD

6: Ganondorf and Sheik...I actually just turned around, noticed them, and took their picture...XD So they didn't know I was taking a picture either, but there were other people on the side of them taking pictures. Their cosplay was REALLY good! O.O

7: She looks like she's looking at the camera, but she was actually looking at my friend's mom, and I just jumped in to take the picture! XD I really like the way she looks, she reminds me of somebody from exist trace, whom I can't remember he name.

8: A girl who I think is cosplaying Ciel dressed as a girl...there was this huge group of Kuroshitsuji cosplayers and she was the only one I got a picture of. What happened here is that my friend's mom asked for a piture, and I noticed that so I jumped in to take a picture WHILE she was trying to get into her pose...so I messed that up, too! XD I'm a bad photographer! XD

9: Another incident of people on the side taking pictures, and then me jumping in to take pictures. I looked at the two on the right and got really confused of why they were in the picture AND why they looked so familiar. I think they were cosplaying Tibarn and Leanne from FE and I never noticed! XD I thought she looked like Leanne from the beginning, I just couldn't remember who the guy next to her was, because Tibarn doesn't have a hammer...I saw them later with the guy not carrying around a big hammer, that's when I realized that was Tibarn (and I saw brown wings...sooo...)! XD

10: Okay...this was just because my friend pointed out that somebody really far away looked really cool, so I tried to take a picture of her, but then all these Dragon Ball Z cosplayers ran into the picture, so I couldn't take a good one, and so this was the best that came out. It looks like it's sunny outside, but it's actually POURING!!

The weather outside was HORRIBLE! Nashville had a flood, because when I got back home and watched the news they were talking about it...and I was like 'Oh! Wow! That's so funny we were just over there!"

We were waiting in line for Vic and the line came from the hallway, to outside, and then back into the hallway, and we were outside when we heard this REALLY loud sound that sounded like a bomb and everyone (which was like 100 people) jumped and yelled 'WOAH!!' because that was REALLY loud thunder! O.O

There were a lot of Pandora Hearts cosplayers, I was really surprised...OMIGOSH!! THERE WEREN'T ANY NARUTOS!! No...wait...there was a small group of Narutos, but at the last anime convention we went to, like half the cosplayers were Naruto! XD Including my friend!

What else were there? Hrmm...there were tons of guys not wearing their shirts. And there was this one girl standing at some kind of shop thing (not sure what they were selling or where we were at the time of seeing her), but she was NOT SKINNY, and was wearing a bra and tight pants...and it was disgusting...O.o Why would somebody think to wear that? And this one guy looked like a character from a fighting game because he was always running around and getting into a fighting pose, plus he was buff-ish (I say this because he was skinny, but you could see his muscles really well) and he wasn't wearing a shirt...and he was tan, so he looked like an actual figher...O.o It was so weird!

There was also a group of vocaloid cosplayers who cosplayed all the characters, and most of those are little girls, well, they were all guys...O.o I was wondering why Miku looked so ugly! XD And why she had a flat chest and muscular build! XD So creepy!

My friend and I are gonna create an anime club and we were thinking of doing group cosplaying...and we were thinking of who everyone could be and what anime to use...

So we thought of vocaloids...I could cosplay Rin...but my friend should cosplay Len, and we aren't twins and we don't even look alike...and her twin doesn't want to cut her hair so short (even though she has blonde hair right now). I could maybe be Miku wearing a wig or something...>.> Maybe Gumi or Miki...I dunno...maybe even Yuki! XD That'd be funny! XD

Then about Naruto...I think my friend should either be Naruto or Sasuke, but my other friend who is very feminine looking says she wants to be Sasuke...but I REALLY don't want her to be Sasuke, I think she'd look creepy with short black hair...O.o I say she should be Sakura...and I could be Hinata...and then other people could be...something...

And then there's Kingdom Hearts...I have no clue who I could be. My friend should DEFINITELY be Roxas since I think she looks like Roxas, she had her hair like Roxas one day, and she looked JUST LIKE HIM! O.o But my other friend either wants to be Namine or Kairi...and I could be either, too...but I really don't know who I'd be in Kingdom Hearts...

Then Kuroshitsuji...there's not enough characters...O.o I mean, out of all the people who'd want to be in our anime club AND cosplay, that wouldn't be enough.

We could do Ruruoni Kenshin, King of Fighters, Tekken, Shugo Chara (MAYBE), Death Note (?), hrmm...a lot of things...I guess we should wait for the anime club to be created, first! XD Then we can decide from there!

If they don't want to cosplay...I dunno what we'd do...O.o Make them wear at least SOMETHING...so that we don't all get lost together...

IT WAS AWESOME!! TT^TT

OMIGOSH!! THE ANIME CONVENTION WAS AWESOME!! <333

I went with my friend and her mom. So that was interesting, her mom is really funny! XD But her mom is young and she looks like a model, same for my friend...I felt left out there...O.o

Welll...we went to the Q&A of Quaff, the visual kei band, and we sat in the front row. And THEY WERE STARING AT US THE ENTIRE TIME! And we all thought it was weird, her mom even said that she was glad that we noticed that, too, she thought she was losing her mind or something! XD It was REALLY weird...O.o I wonder if they were staring at her mom. Her mom thought they were staring at her being she was staring at 'the blonde one' whom I don't know his name...O.o She liked them so much she bought a photobook of them! XD I was SOOOOO close to one of them...not during the Q&A, but at that place where she bought the photobook, one of them was just standing there....and I wanted to take a picture, but we weren't allowed to.

They were HILARIOUS, though! XD There was this one guy wear a mask thing over his mouth and he had the deepest voice in the group and he was just too funny! Like when somebody asked what their favourite food was they all said something plain but he put two thumbs up and yelled 'CHEESECAKE!!" It was soo funny! XD And he would just start yelling random things out, it was too funny! XD Especially a guy with such a deep voice! And then they all tried to pronounce 'squirrel' and only three of them did, well, actually let's just say two since one of them could speak english and the whole point was that he was trying to teach them to pronounce squirrel and manhattan right...And every time somebody in the band said the word right everyone cheered, so when they didn't say it right they got really confused! XD

That whole Q&A just plays through my head constantly! One of the most favourite moments of my life! ^ ^ Until I see the Q&A for a better band...or a band I'm already a fan of...

Oh....Quaff also might have been staring at us because we were three skinny little people and two HUMONGOUS people sitting on each side and it just looks really weird! XD Also! The guy with the mask said that he looked forward to America so he could bring back a pretty girl to be his wife! XD It sounds like a familiar story! XD

Oh! Another staring story to tell you guys. I was standing in line with my friend...and there were these kids in front of us in a group...and I'm guessing the oldest one (the only one with acne...O.o) kept staring at me...O.o And then he started to talk to us saying that his friends were boring...Excuse me kid, but WE'RE STRANGERS! DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS, KID! I guess the kid thought I was his age since I was the same height...>.>

My friend and I got these carbonated fruit drink things, and they were AWESOME!! They tasted great and they bottles looked AWESOME! They were designed almost perfectly, to the point if you draw it on it's side it will not spill, unless you turn it completely straight down. And it had hand grips and everything. And it had this preservation marble thing so it would preserve the drink and when you popped it steam (no...it's something else, like a cloud of fizz or something...) came out it was cool!

I bought another volume of God Child and commissioned two people, one whom has a DA account, so now I'm watching them, because I LOVE her style so much! It's soo cute! But she doesn't have enough art posted...>.>

I ALMOST bought a Morning Musume CD signed by all of them, which was only $20...but the one next to it was $100....so I got confused so I didn't buy it...O.o I don't need a Morning Musume CD...now...AAA, yes, definitely.

Oh! And I met Vic Mignogna (sp?) and learned how to say his name...kinda...O.o And he's my friend's favourite voice actor...But I didn't have him sign anything, just a picture...but I don't know if I'll ever get that picture...O.o So he hugged me and my friend in the picture....Only problem here is I'VE NEVER HEARD HIM VOICE ACT! I mean, I've seen SOME episodes of FMA....but...the strange thing is that I've not actually seen an episode where Ed talks...O.o Sooo...Yeah, I can't be his fan if I haven't heard his work.

What else happened?...Hrmm...I dunno, but I loved that Quaff Q&A so much! <333 AWESOME!!

Okay! Until next time, folks! XD
