Hey, ShikamaruRocks, here. How ya doin'?

I have another world. One called "Shika's Busy-ish Nook" that contains less random stuff than you'll find here. For the most part. I'll leave all the official stuff that's on here though, but all new official stuff will be there.

I AM A GIRL. So many people think I'm a dude, but I'm not. I promise.

Soooo, let's get on with it, shall we?

Most of these are in no particular order...

Favorite Manga: Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, RurouniKenshin, DNAngel, Prince of Tennis, Trigun, One Piece, KareKano, Lovely Complex, Whistle!, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, HanaKimi, Ouran High School Host Club, etc.

Favorite Anime: Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Peacemaker Kurogane, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, TekkonKinkreet, Saiyuki, Mushi-shi, BECK, Avatar (it counts!!! grrrr....), Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, RurouniKenshin, etc.

Music Peeps: YellowCard, Death Cab for Cutie, Snowpatrol, A Fire Inside, The Used, Three Days Grace, Seether, Orange Range, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Muse, The Pillows, Plain White T's, Angels and Airwaves, Flaming Lips, Bump of Chicken, and!!! The Jonas Brothers (my guilty pleasure).

I love cooking, drawing, reading (mostly manga but novels are wicked awesome too. I just don't have the time nor stamina for novels as much anymore...though I have been working my way back in. lol), knitting, watching my brother play Zelda/Metroid games (lol), and skateboarding, though I fail epicly at it.

Toodles!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy! (And don't forget sad...)

So, Twisted, Tofu, our mom and I are going to Naka-Kon (an anime convention in Kansas City, Missouri) today. I would have liked to have gone yesterday and tomorrow too, but meh. Things happen.

So, I've been stoked about this for ages because A: this is the con where three years ago I first met my all time favorite voice actor, Greg Ayres (have I told y'all that story?). B: Greg Ayres is scheduled to be there again. C: Chris Patton (like, my second fav. voice actor. At least, he's way up there) will be there. D: We couldn't go last year.

Me and Greeeeeg :3 First time I met him, and I was cosplaying as Goku from Saiyuki (who Greg portrays. woots.) He said we were the best Sanzo party evar!! (Twisted, Tofu, and my friend (who is my friend no more) were the other three members of the Sanzo party.)

Needless to say, I was really really worried about Greg when I heard he had suffered a minor heart attack at a con a few weeks ago. Due to this, it is also needless to say that I was not very surprised when Twisted informed me that Greg will not be attending the convention. Doctor's Orders.

Still, that doesn't mean I'm not put out by this. The poor guy. I hope he gets better soon.

Well, I'm off to get ready. A certain Windwaker shirt bought while I was in Japan needs to be donned, so I'll talk to y'all after the con. Maybe we'll take some pictures for you?

Yay for Chris! Gotta love Sousuke, neh? xP
