For Otakon 2000, I dressed as Tamahome from Yuu Watase's manga/anime Fushigi Yuugi, where I met up with the rest of the HUGE FY troupe that we formed.I believe by the end, Princess Zelda of Nintendo fame was even touring with us ^_^ (Pictures of both Sakura and Ota are below)
On Halloween of 2000, I dressed as two different characters are once! Bully for me ^_^
First off, I was Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing, although I'm sure everyone just thought I was a priest. Underneath the priest outfit though, I had a green tanktop and some shorts, so after a slight striptease, *winkwink* voila! I *was* Heero Yui! (I can never escape playing characters voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa... I think Zelgadis is next >_<)
It was a fun expirience none-the-less. (If only for the chance to earn few dollars in tips from changing ^_^)
But perhaps my most powerful cosplay performance though, was my first at Neko Con R, where I played *drumroll*...Random Bishonen Extra for a Shoujou anime! (...okay, so it was just a dress shirt ^^;... but it was still dramatic!... ^^;...) My current project for Sakura Con 2001 is the red Tamahome outfit! Otakon 2001's is Kane Blueriver and maybe another. I also have a secret costume in the works that I don't want to bring up until I have it done ^_^
Maybe not even then! (Ideas on what I should be? Contact me!)
See Kelly as Squall?
See Kelly as Squall in a hall?(And yes, that gunblade *is* basically constructed entirely of duct-tape.)

See Mostly Suzaku Seishi?
See the Spiffy Seiryuu Seishi?
Reason: A long time ago, I spent almost all my time depressed, thanks to a veritable landslide of bad things happening to me. After that, I kind of decided that being like that just wasn't worth it. I'm not saying I never get upset, or sad. (Far from it, actually ^^), but I do my best to try and look past all the crap.
I also would like large amounts of money. Email me for paypal information, I'm sure we can work something out.
What do I want to do?: Well, despite my productivity rating and my constant complaining, I actually do love writting. I also would love to act. I really love doing them both a lot, but I'm pretty sure they fall under the "It's good work if you can get it" category, meaning as naturally lucky as I may be, I have a slim to none chance.
Why Writing?: Two reasons honestly. First off, it's like playing God, so it's a huge power trip at first. Of course then, at least for me, I realized that I had no control over my characters whatsoever. This is where part two comes in. After realizing this, and getting over the entire 'self-insertion' part of my evolution as a writer, I realized that I had become amazingly attached to my characters, as if they were old friends. (Anyone else who writes and is reading this, you probably understand perfectly.) I want to write, simply because even if I weren't to type it down, I would never stop doing it in my head and heart.
Poetry: Because it's fun and lets me get out my frustrations in a fun, sometimes ryhming way.
And Acting?: I was raised as an only child (My brother being much older than me, and having spent most of his time living with his mother) and usually was alone. Besides, thanks to my parents' wonderful choices of homes throughout my childhood (which 99% of the time were outside of civilization) I had to entertain myself most of the time.This led to a lot, I repeat LOT, of make believe time.
Sure, most kids go through things like that when they're growing up, but with me it never went away. Even today I still have problems lapsing into random bouts of make-believe, especially during a really boring lecture..
As far as my career goes in the field I was in a few small plays during school, but our drama department-- well, we didn't have one really, so that explains that. I tried out for a play my first year of college and got a call back, but because of carelessness and getting too big of a head I didn't practice well enough for the line readings and blew the whole thing. It took my almost a year to realize that I really could have gotten any part I wanted had I pushed myself hard enough, and that I only have myself to blame for my failures. It may sound negative but that realization has made me feel a lot better about myself.
I feel those urges to try out for anything that comes my way again, stronger than before. It's not the movies, but if I can get on stage again I would be really happy I think.
Recent update on the voice acting bit. This past summer I recieved my first ever payment for voice acting. I voiced two commercials, one for a nightclub and another for a wholesale furniture store. In the end my samples weren't used but the expirience was worth the let down.
Ever thought of running for office?: Well actually, two people wrote my name in on the ballet during the last election ^^;... though I think I'm exactly half the age for the presidency. This could be a much needed change, though. Vote for me in 2004! Also, a while back I was going to see a movie and was given carbonated water instead of Mountain Dew. I had to cut in front of some people to report the error, I did so very appologetically mind you, and when they worked went to check the soda pump, the ladies I cut in front of told me that it was really good that I stuck up for myself, and that they'd love to see more young Canadians do the same. They also added that they'd love for someone like me to be in the seat of Prime Minister.
I really didn't feel like mentioning that I was American. I figure if someone wants to elect me for a high office, I might as well let them.
Immortal or Immoral?: Both, of course. (Those of you from the UR know me as both, I believe) Back on the subject though!)
Place to live?: Well, I'm currently living in Canada while I attend university. It's nice enough up here, except all the students I know do nothing but drink really. I understand that this is common college behavior, but still! I feel that there are so many better things to do with your life and time than drink yourself into a stupor. Not to mention it's expensive! How do these people get so much cash just to throw around on vodka? Sheesh.
I really don't know otherwise. I'm thinking that when I start up my evil corperation I'll base it in Seattle. I figure two evil companies won't be too much of a stress. I'll just remember to stay away from anything computer related in my field... heh...
Regardless though, Seattle seems a really good place to spend my young adult life. I really love the climate and the general attitude of the people there, not to mention I've recently rebuilt a very important bridge to an old, very dear friend in Washington state.
Various unrealistic aspirations: I plan on being a millionaire by the time I'm 21. Though I also want to be a mecha pilot and who knows what else by that time.
End for now.
