So despite that fact that I hate these things with a burning passion, I am also just bored enough to actually give in. Here you go, guys.




1. What was your very first cosplay, and how does it compare to your current cosplays in terms of quality?
     My very first cosplay was actually two: male and female versions of Roxas. Neither were completely terrible in the grand scheme of cosplay, but  they still embarrass me. I get a lot of compliments on fem!Rox though, even now.
2. If you were taking me out on a date, what would we do?
     Go somewhere loud and fun, probably drink a fair amount, and bitch about all the people we know.
3. What game have you been meaning to play for a while now?
     EVERYTHING. But I really need to get my hands on the Assassin's Creed Series, since my computer proved to be to shitty to run them.
4. What series have you been meaning to watch for a while now?
     Doctor Who, Sherlock, Firefly.... the list goes on. Running through Angel now, then going back to Buffy,
5. Do you think you'll ever fully retire from cons? If so, do you have an exact, specific date or age in mind?
     I probably will eventually. For now, I love it, and as long as I have the time and the passion I will continue to go to cons.
6. What's your biggest pet peeve at conventions?
   Weebs. As much as I love conventions as a place to meet my friends and hang around in cosplay and do shoots, I realize that I hate 80% of the people who actually go to cons.
7. Do you drink? If not, why? If so, WHAT'S YOU FAVORITE DRANK AND FAVORITE VODKA BRAND?
     Some. I don't care enough to seek it out, and as such there's a lot I haven't tried. I don't think I've had vodka, but I love Jack and cokes, gin and tonics, sea breezes and Yuengling.
8. If you lived in the world of Final Fantasy IX (during a time of peace) where in Gaia (or Terra) would you want to live and why?
     MOOGLES
9. What does your immediate/extended family think of conventions/cosplay?
     The think my sewing talents are awesome, but that I use them weirdly. They put up with conventions, but I'd never get company to go.
10. Are you a morning or a night person?
     I never know how to answer this. Both, to a certain degree. I can switch off staying up late and sleeping in with going to bed early and getting up early (with 5 AM shifts at work I have to) but I need at least 6 hours a night to function.
11. What are you looking forward to in the next 365 days?
     OTAKON. OTAKON OTAKON OTAKON.
12. Most overrated game/series?
     HOMESTUCK. HETALIA. I dunno, anything that has me wanting to punch people I see cosplaying from it?

1. What is your dream cosplay?
     I don't have one "dream" cosplay, really, mostly because I like challenges so if I want to do something, I do it. Right now though, I'd still say Shiva from FFX.
2. What foods will you not eat? Why?
     Mushrooms, because of the texture. Same with tofu. I don't like the taste of pork, though I love ham and bacon. Other than that, the general stuff most people don't like: liver, Brussels sprouts, etc.
3. A stranger punches you in the face while you are walking through a public area. How do you respond?
     Punch them back if I think I could win, bitch them out and kick them in the shins if I couldn't.
4. What kind of music do you work out to?
     Well, the preliminary question is "do you work out" to which the answer really is no. (Though I'm trying to change that.) I like fast and loud though, so classic rock, lots of dance mixes and the like.
5. What one thing about yourself do you want to change?
     Part of me thinks I should be nicer, but much like Tony Stark my bitchiness is both a defense mechanism and a huge part of who I am. Otherwise, I'm fairly happy with myself, though I'd like to be taller. 5'6" is short in my family.
6. What goal have you or are you struggling to achieve? What do you think is stopping you?
     Right now it's just getting though college. I hate studying and love to procrastinate. It's mostly a time thing though, as my grades are still fine.
7. What TV shows/anime/books/movies do you enjoy that someone who knows you well would find out of character for you? (Ex. I'm a fantasy video game hardcore nerd and I'm in love with Dexter and Nip/Tuck.)
     I loved Stieg Larsson's "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" series, which is a tad more intellectual mystery/crime-y than I'm usually into. I'm a fairly predictable person, though. I'm also getting into shooters more as well.
8. What fictional character do you envy?
     Lisbeth Salander, who is tinier than me and can still kick the shit out of people three times her size. I want to learn how to fight.
9. What non-blood-related person are you grateful to/for? Why?
     I am eternally grateful to my friend Liz, who died in October 2010. She not only introduced me to video games, but taught me a lot of valuable lessons through all the things we went through together.
10. If you've been to college, why did you choose the major you did? If you didn't, why did you decide not to go? Do you want to?
     Currently in college, planning on majoring in East Asian Languages and Cultures (Japanese-focused) and Computer Science. I think that should be fairly self-explanatory, really.
11. What's the first thing you normally think of when you wake up in the morning?
     How did it get to be 11 already?

1. If you weren't on the current life and career path that you are on right now, what would you be doing?
    If  wasn't at Columbia, I would want to give cooking school a shot, because I love baking and making food.
2. What is your favorite book?
     As an avid bibliophile, this question is difficult. One of my all-time favorites is Mercedes Lackey's "The Last Herald Mage" series.
3. Would you rather be constantly too hot or constantly too cold?
   Too hot. Too cold is easier to deal with if you have extra clothes, but I'd prefer the latter if I couldn't do anything about it.
4. What is your guilty pleasure?
     75% of my bookmarks are gay fanfic from either Supernatural or Avengers fandoms. Make of that what you will.
5. What got you into the whole convention scene?
     Google!
6. If you received a million dollars tomorrow, what would you do with it?
     Pay for the rest of my college career, by a better computer, a ton of video games, and put the other $600,000 or so in the bank, as down payment on an apartment in Manhattan after college.
7. Props or poses?
     Ugh. Props? I like both, but I have usually have doofy poses if I don't have a prop to pose with. Also, axe. <3
8. Are you eco-friendly? Eco-crazy? Eco-not-care-y?
     Eco-not-care-y, most of the time. Which translates to lazy.
9. What is one of your all-time favorite things to do?
     Curl up in a hot bath with a glass of iced tea, snacks, and a book.
10. If you could change one thing about reality, what would it be?
     Have a "I'm not an idiot" test that must be passed before people are released into the world.
11. How to you explain conventions or cosplay to people who don't know about it?
     Usually lots of maniac laughter, an attempt at likening it to Halloween, then shaking my head and walking away when they still look confused.
