Wrote a poem about Kumoricon (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8087707/poem_about_kumoricon_and_anime_conventions.html?cat=7) and the love of the fandom, figured the forum might enjoy it.
Thoughts? Any feedback is appreciated. Really though, this is just a love letter from one otaku to the entire con-going culture. Muuuuucho amor. ;D
-
Very nice! I especially liked the second-to-last stanza.
-
i loved it! especially the Sephiroth part XD
-
Thank you both! Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^
-
You gots skills. :o
-
OMG.... So this is Chan talking though Washu and that was beautifully done! I really really really liked it~! Bravo, Juggernaut, bravo! <3
-
Thank you, everyone! Your encouragement means the world. I'm so glad you all enjoyed that poem.
I finished a follow-up today, another poem (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8100497/animeinspired_poetry.html?cat=2) about anime and the fandom. This one deals much more with key points in some of my favorites. Let me know what you all think. ^_^
-
Those are awesome!!!
my favorite lines was, "Me becomes the wonderful We."
because that's exactly how I feel.
It's funny last year I wrote a poem for school about kumo as well, it's kinda crappy though

-
That's a great log of Kumoricon memories, Wrath-chan! I love how you really encapsulated the Kumoricon experience in that piece of writing. Whether it was for school or not, you definitely caught some of the feelings that make Kumoricon so amazing and memorable. Thanks for sharing!
-
Oh, and I changed the name of this thread to Kumoricon Poetry. I'd love to see other people post their Kumoricon or otaku-related writings, if anyone has any to share. ^_^
-
Thanks, I do my best to get emotion across. Your welcome!
Yes, people post your nerd poetry! I want to read it!
-
Another poem here (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8012631/poetry_about_cosplay.html?cat=42). Wrote this a while back about a certain problem I've noticed in cosplay. It will probably make a lot of people hate me or think I'm an unsympathetic jerk, but just hear me out.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable. With this poem I just wanted to encourage people to strive to be as accurate in their cosplay as possible.
Really, the poem is a lot of fun (I was having fun with it anyway), and I make some criticisms about the way people act, but if you're having fun and enjoying yourself, it really doesn't matter what I think.
-
It's not that cruel.
I wish people would work a bit harder on their costumes sometimes.
I knew someone who was Haruhi Suzumia (To lazy to make sure it's spelled right) and she didn't get a wig...and she had long red hair....It bothered me SO much
I know I'm not perfect, either because I lack the skills or just forget (the past few times I've worn my Rin Kagamine Costume I forgot the "02" on her shoulder) I put everything I got, and if Anything I act like the character!
If I can tell you put everything into your costume, I don't care. if you have the same cheep organization 13 cloak that you bought online as someone else for your costume but you don't have a wig or act in character I'm not going to say, "GREAT COSTUME MAN!" (Also those cloaks SUCK!)
-
Yeah, what you said about acting in character: that goes soooo far! I don't think most people give it much thought, but it can make a mediocre costume seem much better if the personality and mannerisms are there. Huge difference there.
And I'm definitely not saying I'm some super elite cosplayer or anything either. I have had some costumes I definitely wish to keep in the closet, lol. As long as someone recognizes they could do better, and puts their all towards their cosplay, that's all one can be asked to do, really.
-
Well, i don't do it ALL the time but for pictures and talking with some people
-
Haruhi Suzumia (To lazy to make sure it's spelled right)
There's a "y" between the "i" and "a" at the end; that's it. ;)
I just thought of something; perhaps you guys can submit your poems to have them in the con book. I know that in the past it's been JeffT that book submissions would go to, but I think it's someone else now. Come to think of it, I've got one somewhere...
-
I think that would be a really fun addition to the Pocket Guide or some other promotional material. I had been talking to Remsaverem about it, and she said she would like to try to get one of these poems in somehow (which would be awesome).
-
Hey, if we've got Rem on our side, it's almost guaranteed to happen! Here's the site where my poem is at. CMAC (http://forum.clarkanime.com/viewtopic.php?t=46)
It's a haiku thread for my anime club. I have two, which are both labeled under the name "Washu". (Fairly easy to figure out, huh?)
-
haha, thanks for sharing, Washu! Those haiku were really fun. I loved "A Rant by Ranma". Usually I can't get into haiku, but yours were really enjoyable. Please do share more if you've got them. ;D
Oh, and might I add...on CMAC, you have quite possibly the most distracting/disturbing signature gif I've ever seen, lol.
-
Oh, and here (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8116573/poem_about_cosplay.html?cat=7)'s another poem I finished yesterday. Another on the topic of cosplay (can I write about anything else? lol).
-
Oh, and might I add...on CMAC, you have quite possibly the most distracting/disturbing signature gif I've ever seen, lol.
Thank you! I was thinking about bringing it here for awhile, but there are too many characters. :'(
-
At Kumoricon,
There are so many school girls.
This was a Haiku.
-
haha, very nice, StarryShay. Very truly written. ^_^
-
It would be nice to have in the program, or at the Creation Station
and yes the Rant by Ranma was fun to read!
That was really good Eve! It's so true, and reads really nicely.
Nice one Starry!
-
Patiently waiting.
Elevator full.
Unforgiving stairs.
Room on floor fifteen.
Cold unkind army of steps,
Oh how I hate you.
Somewhere awaits rest
Somewhere far beyond my reach
Out of my way, L
-
Wow, you totally just captured my 2009 experience, lol. Those haiku were painfully good, well-crafted but remind me of a definite downside to past cons. I love the last line, "Out of my way, L." haha, awesome.
-
Yep, It sounds just like k-con 2009.
I was so lucky! I was Rufus Shinra from Advent Children one day, and I had a wheel chair so I could take the elevators!!!
-
haha, nice tactic, Wrath. Ah, those lines waiting for the elevators...never again! lol
So you got to skip those lines because of the wheelchair, or did you still have to wait?
And since we're sharing haiku, here's one off the top of my head (let's see how it turns out):
Here, the cloudy con,
where samurai and schoolgirls
come and commingle.
-
Well I wasn't Rufus on the day that the lines were REALLY Horrible
I don't think I got to skip ahead, but it gave me and my friends an excuse to ride the elevators
here's a Haiku about Portland
Rain rain rain rain rain
Rain rain rain even more rain
Rain OH MY GOD SUN!
-
Nice one, Wrath. I'm pretty sure you represent all of Portland with that one.
-
thanks
I'm so glad it's sunny today!
-
That was awesome!
-
The wheelchair thing is absolutely inspired. Do you think the same thing would work with crutches/casts? XD
-
I'm pretty sure any kind of physical impairment (or equipment that makes it look like you have one) would be guaranteed elevator-priority.
The glass bottle spins,
otaku sprint like ninjas,
and boom goes the glomp.
-
What about blindness brought on by darkness? ;D
-
XD I like that one,
You would have to prove it.
-
I'm telling the truth.
Of course I need these crutches!
...Elevator, please?
;D
-
"Oh, what?! C'mon, you let that blind guy and his 'guide Akamaru' through! I don't care if you don't appreciate the seriousness of a perpetual bloody nose, I'm impaired darn it!!"
-
If that was the case then every fan girl would have to use the elevator and then the line would be endless
-
Kumoricon, yay!
I'm back for another year!
Oh, look...a line...yay?
-
Just kidding with that last one. I am absolutely excited for Kumoricon and have no animosity or ill-feelings toward things this year. The elevator issue was exclusive to 2009 for me. So, yeah, this is all just in fun and more of a tribute than anything, heh.
Catgirls and fangirls,
Rain that tastes like Ramune...
Cloudy Con is back!
-
that made a smile on my face!
-
If I get the time here in the next few days, I'm gonna try to write something. Might be difficult on account of my lack of sleep that I know is going to happen... (maybe I should wait until it gets closer to the end of the week). It's been awhile since I've written any poetry. In fact, the last time I wrote poetry was for a Poetry class at Clark; I remember writing a poem based off of an anime series. I'll see if I can find it...
-
I look forward to reading it if you can find it, Washougal. ^_^
Duct tape, O duct tape,
Your sticky, threaded swatches
Will ne'er make a sword.
-
Okay, I found this one, entitled "Me?"
Music, it is your passion;
You are no different than me.
You go to every concert in town with thousands of fans,
the genre of music means nothing to you;
I attend conventions with thousands of otaku,
and we don’t require alcohol or drugs to have fun.
Your walls are littered with posters,
The Temptations, Led Zeppelin, and even
Toby Keith, autographed with love.
They’re no different than my wall scrolls
of InuYasha, Ranma 1/2, and the Slayers,
that one signed by Crispin Freeman.
You even know the birth town of Elvis Presley.
Do you truly think you’re better than me?
Athletics, they are your driving force;
You are no different than me.
You care about the drafts and trades,
I care about who will be licensing Maria+Holic.
You can list any stat or record from memory;
I can quote most of Blue Seed.
You know which players make the most money,
I know voice actors don’t get paid much.
You wear a number “4” jersey, green and yellow,
and refuse the green and white, from New York.
I dress up in costumes that come from cartoons;
is that so different from your skull face paint
and your black and white armor?
You even take part in five fantasy leagues.
Do you really see a difference between you and me?
You are no different than me.
You are a nerd, a loser, a fan, just like me.
...and here's one that is entitled "Lt. Commander Data" (Guess what this one's about...)
I have no gender; I am an android,
though I am anatomically male.
I want to be human; there is still a large void,
though in strength and speed I do not fail.
From planet to anomaly our ship will sail;
Setting the course, I am responsible for that.
Adventures on an uncharted trail;
If we encounter the Borg, I am prepared for combat.
In my pursuit, I decided to get a cat;
She is striped, so I named her Spot.
One day Counselor Troi asked me if she looked fat.
Women and their weight; I understand that not.
Lieutenant Commander Data is my name,
wanting to be human is my game.
...and one entitled "The Vow of Kusanagi" (based off of "Blue Seed")
This is my destiny,
To protect this sacred belle;
her name is Momiji.
I will shed the blood of the Aragami;
From the living, they’ll be expelled.
This is my destiny.
Her sacrifice will save this country;
Japan will not be damned to Hell.
Her name is Momiji.
This is what fate made us be,
A historic tale to tell.
This is my destiny.
She makes me feel genuinely happy,
I vow to protect her well;
Her name is Momiji.
Together we’ll be free,
A solemn vow from a rebel.
This is my destiny;
her name is Momiji.
It looks like those are it...
-
Nice writing, Washougal. I like the connection you made in the first poem between obsessions and interests. It's pretty odd how a lot of people can demonstrate the same amount of passion as a nerd, but not consider themselves nerdy because of the object of their passion or interest. Nerdy = passionate to a great, almost compulsive degree, about something - what it is just doesn't matter. We're all nerds, geeks, otaku. Love it, haha
And of course the one about Data was awesome. I don't even like Star Trek, but you were able to break through my inexperience with the story and still made me familiar with Data and understand the situation. You portrayed the character well, and I like the fact that it's a sonnet - fitting for a character that is robotic and structured, but still desiring of emotion and humanity. ^_^
And I am not familiar with Blue Seed, but I think you chose a great form for the poem. The repetition of words and rhyme scheme created a really contemplative, focused tone, and it drew me in quickly.
-
Oh, and we can't have a new page without a poem on it, so...
There once was a princess named Lum
Whose darling was truly quite dumb;
He'd flirt with each skirt
Even though it would hurt
This princess with sparks in her thumb.
hehe, I like how that turned out. ;D
-
Thanks, Eve!
I chose to compare music to it because the two members of my family who try and "talk some sense" into me are obsessed with music. For awhile, one of them decided to make me more knowledgeable about music by having me name the band performing a song on the radio before the song was over. I think I only got one... The sports was chosen because I can relate to it, as well.
The Data one was because part of the assignment required picking a fictional character to "take the role of" or something like that. Data is my favorite character in all of Star Trek, and I've often thought about cosplaying as him someday, especially since many people I've known have said that I look like Brett Spiner.
The Blue Seed one is in a poetic form called Villanelle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villanelle). I tried to write one with a few other series in mind, but this one was the one that I found to be easiest.
^ That was a fun limerick!
-
I love the first two, I'm clueless about blue seed
Data is what makes me watch Next Gen!
-
Ah, yeah, I've done Villanelles before, but I don't think I've ever done a successful one (where I was happy with the outcome, I mean). So, maybe I need to take it up again and see if I can make it work. Some forms of poetry are just a bit too constricting, even for me (someone who usually loves poetic structure and used to dread blank/free verse).
And thanks, I'm glad you liked my little Limerick of Lum, haha. I just keep showing my age with these decade-old anime I write about, don't I? lol
-
I'm clueless about blue seed
Data is what makes me watch Next Gen!
I just told random that I'd let him borrow my copy of Blue Seed. I can let you borrow it after he does, if he even agrees to borrowing it.
Almost all of my favorite episodes are because of Data! The only exception is "Darmok," the one where Picard is on a planet with the captain of a race that speak using metaphors. Great episode! It deserved an Emmy!!!
-
What system is it for?
I must go find then!
I like, "It's Elementary My Dear Data!" and the one where he tries to under stand the idea of "funny"
-
System? If I get what you're asking, my Blue Seed is DVD.
"It's Elementary, My Dear Data" was great, despite it having Dr. Polaski... :-X
I just watched the one where he's trying to understand humor a few days ago; what was the main plot for that episode again...? Oh, yeah, that's right, "The Outrageous Okona." That one was great, too!
-
Oh...I thought it was a game. Well I need to give you Sailor Moon Super!
The plot was really stupid, I remember talking about it with my dad.
What was that one about? (i have watched very little of next gen)
-
I know that there was a game for it on the Sega Dreamcast (though I don't think it ever reached the US). Perhaps we can exchange them some time. The Outrageous Okona was about a guy who was accused of impregnating the daughter of a planet's ruler and stealing a national treasure from another planet, and both leaders want the Enterprise to give him to them, but not the other. Kind of a demented Star Trek twist on Romeo & Juliet... Oh, and Okona was a man-whore, too. I think they indicated that he was with 3 or 4 different females of the ship's crew.
-
Sewing machines hum,
Fingertips blister with glue:
Kumo's on its way.
-
Interesting, that sounds way cooler then most Next gen episodes...
I just need to get my dvd set back from my friend.
that made my day eve!
-
Yay! ^_^
Here's another before I head out for work.
Twenty Narutos,
A horde of Org. XIII-ers...
That's cosplay for ya.
:D
-
that also made my day,
There haven't been as many Narutos lately...
-
Yeah, that's true. I'll have to be observant this year and try to notice what the new trends are.
Final Fantasy,
Thought Thirteen would be awful...
Well, I was sure wrong.
-
:3 I love FF13, even though it doesn't beat the pre-ps2 ones!
-
haha, yup. I'm really enjoying it too. Has an awesome battle system. Although, yes, of course, VII-IX are still some of my favorites.
Standing in a row,
Gonna use our Limit Breaks,
Oh wait...not my turn.
-
I found it too easy, healing after battle. I like being close to death after every boss battle and having to run to the inn and not die.
I love 4 and 9
is that a FF7 joke?
-
haha, I appreciate the healing after battle. It saves me the time of manually using magic to heal up, though I could see how it is too easy in some respects. I also like how there is no MP, just the ATB gauge.
And yeah, that last haiku was a VII reference (the limit breaks weren't a dead giveaway? haha). ^_^
-
That is a good thing! I love casting spells and from my experiences in 9 you can't buy ethers from your basic store
Yeah, sadly though I'm one of the losers who have only played some crisis core and seen advent childern
-
Tisk Tisk Tissssssssssssssk ;)
Missing out on much:
Playing Final Fantasy
Sans number Seven.
-
Wrote a new poem this morning, took more time than a little ol' haiku, haha. Otaku Poem (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8134681/otaku_poem.html?cat=7), Enjoy!
-
It's just so impossible to get!
and that Haiku wasn't nice...But the poem was really nice
-
haha, I'm sorry for the sarcastic tone of that last haiku. ^_^
I call this one an Ota(hai)ku - an otaku haiku - basically any poem that maintains the haiku's syllabic structure of 5,7,5 but goes on for more than 3 lines - because we otaku can never get enough! More cosplay! More cons! More anime! More ramune! There's no such thing as too much for an otaku, and likewise for the ota(hai)ku.
So much going on!
Anime! Panels! Cosplay!
How to do it all?
Thankfully I have this guide,
One bright highlighter,
Four good friends and, now, roommates,
Ten marbled bottles,
Equal boxes of pocky -
Strawberry Crush, 'natch -
And Day Zero in the 'space
To prep, thrill, and plan.
-
I know!
That describes Day 0 Every year for me and my friends.
-
Well, I haven't even sat down to work on a new poem (I blame Chan...). I think that I'd like to focus on one that shows things from the perspective of a staffer, focusing on the good and the bad. (And maybe throwing in some personal experiences along the way).
-
Ooh, sounds like a perspective that could definitely do for some representation. I look forward to reading it! (And just tell Chan you're on assignment from Juggernaut - she'll leave you be, haha) ^_^
-
Thanks for that, Eve!
Regarding Chan, though, I'll be helping her out until Wednesday, which is when she'll have her math final. After that, she'll be able to back off for a bit. (Plus, after Tuesday night, I won't be working again until the 26th! :D ).
-
Went out and did some cosplay shopping today, and went to Uwajimaya as well. I was reminded just how much of an otaku's dream the Beaverton Uwajimaya/Mill End/Michael's is. You can buy cosplay supplies, fabric, and then geek out on manga and bubble tea all within one city block. It's pretty amazing (even if Uwajimaya's stock of good treats and bread was low today).
A cosplayer's wonderland,
wafting from fruitful fabric fields
to hobbyist-stocked armories,
grabbing the means your costume needs
and basking in the endeavor's bliss,
before weaving awe-eyed
through the Waj's aisles,
careening between Kinokuniya's tomes,
and getting that inimitable fix
of ramune and soba.
A cosplayer's wonderland,
and an otaku's playground.
-
I don't go out to Beaverton much. I like Johan's myself.
-
I agree, Jo-Ann's is a constant for me. I live within a mile or so of one, so I always go there for my craft supplies, but they don't always have the fabric I need, so I go out to Mill End for that most of the time. If you haven't been out there I recommend it. Great location.
Two more months to go,
Kumoricon nears like dawn,
Risen from the night
To shed its wonderment 'pon
The Couv's city light.
-
There's a JoAnn's around the middle area between the Vancouver Mall and Chan's place. I like their selections, and I'm hoping that what's been selected will make a fantastic cosplay!
The life of cosplay
Eternally a pleasure
On all but wallets
-
HAAA! :D Well done, Washougal. That was great, heh.
-
^ Thank ye!
-
You guys are so lucky you live close to one.
Eve you reminded me I need to get my but in gear and get working on my costumes!
And that Haiku was awesome Wa-kun
-
^ Thanks, Wrath!
-
Making props with glue,
It's hot but will look aweso―
Ouch, my God-$%^ thumb!
That is my experience every single time I go to use a hot-glue gun, lol.
Why do I keep returning for such punishment? Oh that's right, I love cosplay. ;D
-
XD So true. Actually my friend uses my glue gun for all her costumes (She can't sew)
In and out and In
I can't see the needle, prick!
That's the 5th time now!
I always prick/stab my fingers when I sew!
-
^ Nice!
...still working on something. I've been helping Chan out with some things lately, so I'm hoping to come up with something soon.
-
This entire thread makes me sososo happy. I feel like I should write something now...
-
You should ('cause we'd love to read it)! ^_^
-
Okay, I'll try my hand. I'm not much of a poet...I've got a short story about and anime convention I've been working on for a while, I'll post a link to that when it's finished, too.
-
^_^ It makes me happy as well!
I WANNA READ IT!
-
Sounds good, Nero!
...hoping to have mine done in the next couple of days.
-
A reunion of supra-familial renown,
hearts united over common ground
layered like craft foam
with cosplay and anime,
manga and ramune,
pocky and Sasuke -
Kumoricon: it's good to be back.
-
That warmed my heart!
Kumo is kinda like a huge family reunion.
-
^ It really is, especially over the past couple of years.
...I honestly forgot that I was working on something for this thread. Let's see if I can find it...
-
I guess it really is for me this year since I've been on the forums and have gotten to know people out of my small circle of friends
-
Yup yup, we interact so much with certain people online, but very well may never see them throughout the year, so when Kumoricon comes around again, for sure it's a reunion. There's just nothing else like it, coming together over love of fandom and culture and, most of all, friendship and shared passion. It's the best.
-
I know, it's really great. I've actually found 2 other nerds in my area through the forums
and I actually get out of the house to hang out with people
-
It's been especially true for us staff members. We even talked about it at our "The Con Equipment Is Stored Away 'Till Next Year" party. (No, that's not what we called it). I really think things have been molding together quite well for the people of Kumoricon.
-
I definitely agree with you, Wrath. I'm really looking forward to Kumo this year because I've been talking to people online, and meeting up with people in person, and getting involved in panels and photoshotts and everything. I'm actually talking to people for once, which for me is pretty rare. XD So now when I go to Kumo, I'll be able to run into people I know and put faces to forum names and talk to people with the same interests as me. It just feels way more like I'm connected to the con than last year.
-
Eep! A page without a poem on it in a thread about poetry...must remedy situation...
The con is the kingdom upside down
Where nerdiness deserves the crown,
And the underground consumes a town
Erstwhile commonplace.
Here society's spurned may elate
With renown no other craft can equate,
And say each night 'Stay, Fate...
I'm not ready to leave this world yet.'
-
This is a song that parodies "The 12 Days of Christmas" that I posted in the Countdown thread.
On the 28th day of Kumoricon, con-goers gave to me:
28 Death Note victims,
27 cat ears,
26 episodes a season,
25 glomp circles,
24 sexy cosplays,
23 plushies I want,
22 schedule changes,
21 rolls of film,
20 people lost the game,
19 sticks of Pocky,
18 mudkips prancing,
17 cosplay skits,
16 autograph sessions,
15 Smash Brothers tourneys,
14 karaoke singers,
13 Final Fantasy's,
12 more karaoke singers,
11 days to wind down,
10 dollars for staff rates,
9 Senshi posing,
8 Street Fighter II characters,
7 Narutards fighting...
6 One Piece pirates, over...
5 BARS OF SOOOAAAAAAAP!!!
4 hours of waiting,
3 Tendo sisters,
2 hotels we're at,
And an epic weekend filled with memories!!!
-
Thanks for posting it here!
I love it so much
mostly because it's my favorite Christmas song
-
^ Really? YAY! (Mine's "Joyful & Triumphant," and I don't even celebrate Christmas).
-
So awesome! haha. Loved that, Washougal. A delightful combination of two things I love: Kumoricon and Christmas. (Might just have to steal that and sing it at some time this holiday, haha)
-
^ That'd be fun! We should get a bunch of people together and work on doing just that!
-
Just wondering is it tendo sisters or suppose to be kendo sisters?
-
Tendo, from Ranma 1/2. Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi. I'm assuming that's what he meant, anyway, since I know Washu is a big Ranma 1/2 fan. XD
-
Ah that makes sense, I just remember there were these 3 sisters who would participate in kendo demos, youngest was pretty chibi
-
Tendo, from Ranma 1/2. Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi. I'm assuming that's what he meant, anyway, since I know Washu is a big Ranma 1/2 fan. XD
This is correct. ;D
-
We flesh these foreign fantasies,
'coming whichever heroes we please
within this blossom-scented breeze
filled with thrilled otaku.
In us another realm appears -
dashing sadness, drying tears -
and every time this fan-tide rears,
figments walk among you.
-
*Sheds a single tear* that was beautiful
-
Thanks. ^_^
I decided to call that one 'Nihon-Ghost'.
-
In the registration line we wait.
The feeling of finally getting into the con is great.
But after three hours,
and loosing our will power,
The line is something we come to hate.
Lame limerick is lame.
-
haha, fun limerick is fun, more like it. I enjoyed that, and boy did it reflect a truth about con, lol. A downside to the weekend for sure. Lines....the con-goers natural enemy.
-
It is not lame!
I love it Saki!
I remember way back during 2009 my mom accidentally had her badge waiting a will call. Took her at least 4 hours to go through. She was pissed...
and Sakuracon my friend waited in line for 5 hours to get hers. Would have been more if we hadn't run into a good friend of ours who let her join her.
For us who pre-ordered our it was just 3 hours, but still that was a way too long game of I-Spy
-
Yup. The long lines are just unavoidable, but at least you're gathered with others who are passionate like you are, and it gives you a great opportunity to make friends for the weekend. Though standing in line, no matter how many benefits, still sucks eggs, lol.
-
Thank you ;w;
Yeah, in 2009 (my first Kumoricon) i pre-registered my badge and i arrived on Saturday and i only had to wait like...2 minutes to get checked in, but last year i didn't pre register and i had to wait in line for about 3 hours to buy my badge OTL Plus i had no one to visit with considering all of my friends were smart and bought their badges earlier in the year.
-
Yeah meeting people is nice, helps pass the time. But all that standing...
Your welcome!
After mom's 2009 incident people who were staying at my house had to pre-order
18 days to go
I am so screwed
why did I wait?
Fabric is glaring at me
Telling me to sew
"In a minute," I say
An hour passes and I'm still here...
-
haha, the procrastinator's dilemma. Nicely expressed, Wrath. That's how I was up until a week ago. I'm infected now, though. I must work, otherwise I'm bored and feel like I'm wasting my time. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!!!
-
First hand experience always helps you write! ;)
Seriously my sewing machine is glaring at me from across the room
But I'm gong fabric shopping today!!!
-
Yay! Hope you're able to get a lot done soon! How much work do you have left to do?
-

That gets me through the day.

Ode to Yojimbo:
Here I sit counting Heads
Wondering when I will be fed
My robes of red
I look Half dead
and soon I shall go to bed
-
Nice one, Kylite. We're gonna have to get some Yojimbo appreciation poetry in here now, heh.
Who can banish ne'er-do-wells
from the bounds of our gathered geekdom?
Who can shepherd squealing chibis
with patience and peerless aplomb?
Who stays up when all have slept,
keeping con under their thumb?
Yojimbo! Yojimbo!
There'd be no con without 'em.
:D
-
and soon I shall go to bed
What are these mythical creatures?
-
Both of those are really nice!
I know this year if I can find the time I want to Volunteer to help out the staff that makes the con so much fun
-
DAY ZERO DESERVES TRIBUTE!!! CON IS HERE!

So I wrote this last year in math class and only now found it again:
Waving the white flag by moonlight.
Eating pasta by daylight
Always running from a real fight.
He is the one named Hetalia,
He is the one...
HETALIA!
I was super bored and my math teacher was going on and on...
