Don't get smart with me. XP I worked on my costume all afternoon, I could use a little recess. About seizure lights: just don't look at them. Seizure lights don't really induce seizures unless you're prone to that sort of thing. Define "otaku" first of all, haha. If by "otaku" you mean manga/anime fanatic, then no, I suppose I'm not, but if you mean in the original Japanese sense of legit otaku, then yes I am. I'm a bit of a geek and a nerd, I'm a member of various subcultures (Jediism, Joss Wheddon fanatic, Marvel/DC, some anime, LOTR), I play computer games (when my computer can actually hold them - it can't hold much right now and it's time for a replacement) and I don't exactly identify with what's likable by the larger portion of society. I'm a weirdo. Battle Royale is basically where the writer of the Hunger Games "may have" got her inspiration from. Think Hunger Games with a 1984 twist, less gushy romance and more blood, violence and true-to-life psychology.

yeah ppl who look threw taxes and shit, idk what they stand for xD maybe they don't have those in Canada but they come find u if u don't pay up! and mr.caveman didn't pay up....

I'll manage. ^^ I just need to stay focused, which is insanely difficult sometimes. But when I get really determined to do something, I usually get it done, even ahead of schedule if I'm lucky. Haha There is no tutorial mode in realface! Transfers from one type of media to another are always odd and either expand or detract from the original source. Aside from the awkward, mismatched theme music of the Deathnote live actions, I came to enjoy them in the same way I enjoy the LOTR movies: as a different perspective on how things might have and could have happened. I'll definitely watch the Kaiji anime sometime. I liked the movies, so I'm bound to like the anime. Definitely watch the Battle Royale movies though. They're freaking awesome!

Alright. Robot mode, activated (as soon as I finish making costumes and packing). Of course not, haha! Dance moves require a lot of agility and practice, regardless of which type of dance you're trying to learn. Yes, the transition from anime to live action is the weirdest part of it, I think. I remember it took me a while to warm up to the Deathnote live actions.

Oni-Con is in September 25, I believe, in Galveston. I can't watch them all before San Japan; that's next week! Yes, but you move according to the music in all forms of dance. That's what dance is. Even break dancers coordinate their moves according to the beat and tone of the music. In Scottish Country Dance, it's really important to know what measure is because the choreography - there is no improv at Scottish balls - goes by measure instead of minutes or seconds. "Skipchange for four measures" "Strathspey for eight measures" etc. In Ballroom dancing, measures come into play when you're trying to choreograph on the spot with certain types of spins and twirls in the middle of the boring old basics. Even in KPop and JPop, if you watch the dance practice videos, you'll notice that their steps coordinate to the music like lyrics. Bollywood's great for make-it-up dancing. Watch some of the videos of Hrithik Roshan's and Karina Kapoor's dances and you might see what I'm talking about. Also, just select moves from KPop/JPop and try to imitate them. It's not that hard if you're healthy and exercise.
