jenioctavia1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1. Are you coming to Sakuracon this year in Seattle? :O
Absolutely. Me, my roommate, my boyfriend and I are going with my sister and her friend. We're staying at her house to eliminate some of the more expensive parts of con-going, but we'll be there all three days. My only major commitments at the con so far are the Kareoke contest (my sister and I are entering) and a lunch/dinner with the Risembool Rangers and Vic Mignogna. And maybe the AMV contest if I ever get my stupid computer working. I'll see you there! *flail*
2. Do you ever cosplay?
This has kind of a weird answer. I have, several Haloweens ago, actually gone to the trouble of making a full on Rika from Digimon Tamer's outfit. I question if it counts as cosplaying, but I figure its close enough to that line that it works. Sadly, I lack in pictures. Not entirely sure WHY there are no pictures of me doing this, but there aren't. After that I didn't touch cosplaying or major costumes for years. For Kumoricon I wanted to go as Lt. Breda, but never managed to get my hands on a sewing machine, so I halfassed an Alphonse by wearing black pants, a teeshirt, a sweatshirt with a flamel and some arrays on it, and carried around a kitty. It...kinda worked. XD In the end I can say that I've cosplayed once, half-assed one once, and WILL BE cosplaying at Sakuracon as Lt. Breda (thank you people who do costume comissions ^^; ). I want to do more though, most definitely.
3. What are some of your favorite movies and why?
I have a million, despite the fact that I'm a horribly picky movie goer.I'd say if I had to pick...three, they'd be:
-Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was exposed to this horrible, wonderful, frightening, hallarious...THING back when I was, get this, four-years-old. Seriously. My mom used to play the soundtrack constantly. By the time I was 7 I knew all the words to every song. I've seen it more times than I can count, I know every step to the Time Warp, and the fact that I haven't been to a live showing at the Clinton yet saddens me. But seriously, how can you NOT love transvestite Tim Curry? Those legs...*drool*
-The Fifth Element. Its what made me fall in love with Milla Jovovitch. I already was a huge Bruce Willis fan, so when my mom dragged me in front of the couch to watch this movie years ago I was instantly hooked. Its one of those movies that you watch a ton of times just to memorize the sillier lines.
-Lilo and Stitch. I, personally, regard this as one of the high points of Disney movies. Great story line, beautiful animation, and lovable characters. The whole family aspect of it always brings a tear to my eye when I watch it.
4. How did you get into fandom?
Well, that's kind of a broad question...
Fandom in general started for me back when they started The Mighty Ducks movies. I really enjoyed them, and it was shortly after, I think, #2, that Disney came out with the animated series about the alien ducks. I was hooked on the show. I think that's also the time, roughly, where I started picking up comic books as well. Sonic the Hedgehog and Generation X were the ones I was always getting. I fell out of any major fandom after my dad, getting increasingly upset with my dropping grades, pretty much banned me from EVERYTHING. By the time I got any TV privileges back, Mighty Ducks had been canceled, and when I went to look at new comic books, I was so far behind I had NO idea what was happening. It was a good two years before anything caught my interest again (aside from boybands. ...long story. >_>; ), and the first thing that did was Stargate SG-1. zomg, I am STILL a huge fan of it. That was my first major fancrush, too. Micheal Shanks...Mmmmm... ..uh, anyway. XD It was shortly after THAT that I found Sailor Moon through a random course of exposure to the internet, some actual Japanese manags my sister had, and the old DiC version being played on USA of all channels. Since then I've been of fanatic of whatever catches my interest pretty much. If I fangirl, I fangirl HARD. Its like a disease, I swear. XD
5. What was your favorite subject in school?
Ohgeez...toss up between Choir and Art. I was also in Band, but it majorly started sucking durring my Freshman year and I dropped out of it. Ohyeah, I also liked English, mainly when we were doing any creative writing.
