Tagged

So, Carolyn & I were tagged in a post from Mary and she wants us to answer some questions. So here we go!

1. When was the last time you cried?
Actually, about an hour ago, this show came on (no idea what it was) and at its very beginning, the mother of 3teenagers ran out of the kitchen in a panic. Less than 5minutes into the episode, we find out that their dad had passed away. So, I got hooked into watching 2episodes where the family is having to deal with their loss... and I was cried every now and then... Ya, I'm a real sap when it comes to things like that! >.<;;

2. What's something you could never go a day without?
Music. Whether it's listening to my MP3 player or iTunes, I'm always listening to music. And if there isn't actual music being played, I'll eventually start singing. 

3. Have you ever been horseback riding? How was it?
YES! When I was younger, and we lived in ElPaso, we used to go horseback riding every other weekend! Since then, I've been on several trails for hours at a time while we were camping.  I just love horses, and I love going really fast!

4. Big city or small town? Why?
I'd prefer a moderate city... Or, like Denton, a small city that is very close to a big city...? I like how calm and relaxing small cities are, but I like having multiple opportunities of entertainment that can come only from a big city.

5. What's your favorite article of clothing that you own?
My charm bracelet. I've always wanted to collect memorable charms that represent me and my mom finally got me one for graduation! The charms are so pretty and since then, I've added a PoohBear charm, Ariel charm, DisneyWorld charm and Mickey charm! ^-^
 
6. What's one thing you're really awful at?
Cooking... Not only am I absolutely horrible at it, I get bored with it quite easily. I'm just a hazard in the kitchen: cutting myself with potato peelers, aluminum cans, knifes, and multiple burns on my hands, arms, and face... You know, my mom, dad, and grandparents all cook very well, but my sister and I can't, so I just don't understand... -_-

7. What's your favorite thing to do when you're bored?
Either grab my computer and do random crap online or read a book. I also sing and act out random scenes in my head, but I do that when I'm not bored as well... sooooo.....

8. What's something you miss from your childhood?
The cartoons. They used to be the best, but now they are so stupid and lame, I don't understand how kids watch them...

9. Do you think it's easy to tell when you're lying?
Nope! I'm a great lier because I've learned from the best: my mom! I'm pretty creative and so I can come up with detailed stories easily, and I'm great at making myself believe them. So, if I can believe it, then I can make others believe it; besides, every lie derives from some bit of truth, you know...

10. Would you rather receive flowers or a card with a heart-felt message?
I keep every card a receive. I seriously have valentines from 3rd grade still! And if it's really good, I place them on my desk, there are nine on there right now. Although I think flowers are beautiful, and I love receiving them as gifts, no matter how hard I try, I just can't keep them alive and when they die, I feel so bad! >.<

11. What's your favorite Classic Love Van song? (I needed to throw in a little inside joke!)
Uhmmmm....Uuuuuuuhmm.... Ya....... I... can't answer this... Kuz... I don't know....  ~.~ ((gomenasai!!))

Mini A-Kon

Went to a free Anime Convention here in Denton, and even though it was really small 
& there wasn't much going on, I had SO much fun! 
^-^ 
Soul from SoulEater
There was a lot of fan art ranging from Elementary school to High School



It was real great being able to see all the Voice Actors,
They seemed to be having tons of fun.


                          
                                         From L-R: Jad Saxton, Sonny Strait, Cherami Leigh, Alexis Tipton, Micah Solusod 
But my favorite part about the whole event, was being able to meet all the Voice Actors

Bruce Elliott was hilarious, & not till today did I really know who he was. 
BUT!! When I found out that he voiced Richard Moore from CasedClosed,
 I flipped out!!
>.<

Alexis Tipton was very bubbly and humorous & had an adorable voice, including musically.
"Sexi Lexi" has lent her voice to countless cutesy characters like ChibiJapan & Kumajiro, 
as well as the creepy and psychotic Young Queen Victoria from Kuroshitsuji!


Sonny Strait was a lot of fun and I was so excited to meet this legend!!
As well as 100s of other masterpieces, he voiced
 Krillin from DragonBallZ & Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist!

Cherami Leigh was so sweet and (Ha!) only a bit taller than me! ^-^
Not including her film work, this beauty has played characters like 
Elicia from FMA:Brotherhood & Patty from SoulEater!

   
Micah Solusod always had something funny to say, & he loved to make fun of himself!
His best known role is Soul from SoulEater but a couple of personal favorites include
 Subaru and Kamui from CLAMP's Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations!

Jad Saxton (pronounced "Jade") was really sweet and kind, yet timid.
It was her first time as a guest at any convention, & it was surprisingly easy to talk to her. 
To think that I'd be able to find the amazing Voice Actress who portrayed Jacquline in SoulEater on Facebook and able to talk freely to her about Harry Potter & Anime!!
(No Way! O.o)
I can't wait till the next time I see her, she just seems like such a cool person!

Invader Zim

All in all, Mini A-Kon- my first con of 2012- was such a fun experience! 
I can't believe I got so much out of this free convention!
I'm so excited for more great things to happen throughout the rest of the year;
till then, I plan on working on building relationships and networking so that, one day,
I'LL be an invited guest to such an event!!
^o^
