Who are you going to cosplay as next?
High priestess of prophecy from yugioh. Only my second cosplay as a girl.
Spoiler:


Do you regularly go to like anime conventions?
Egh.. I went to my first one when I was 15.. and I went twice a year for 3 years. Then I stopped and went once in the summer while in university (4 years.) A year after I graduated I decided to get back into cosplay and made my lightning outfit and attended London MCM expo. I've been to that one and the one in October since. I plan on going to this upcoming october one too.
Where do you usually go to get all of the pieces for your costumes?
I improvise. I'll use items I find around the house, or stuff you can get from the dollar store too. Sometimes I need to buy online. For example, the EVA foam I used for my last project, I could find at the dollar store (9 reg sheets for £1.) But I needed foam slightly longer to make it a bit easier so I bought some off ebay. I've learned to improv quite a few things.. learned to dye wigs.. learned to make my own dressform out of duct-tape. I'm still trying to brainstorm how I will make that book glow for this upcoming costume since I want something a bit stronger than glow-sticks. Also to make that hat-peice actually stay on.. Hmm.. but for the glowy-balls I have decided to use fillable christmas ornaments that you can split in half! It's quite perfect actually!
When & how did you get into cosplaying?
Started in the summer before grade 10! My first cosplay was Sora from Kingdom Hearts (and it was horrible! I painted boots, I sewed a zipper on top of a tank-top and I made other stuff out of paper mache.. haha) But when I went to my first convention I was amazed at the costumes and it looked like fun! I also wanted to try getting into sewing so I decided to try it out!
Favorite food? Restaurant? Number? Drink?
Oh gosh.. difficult! Right now I crave some Korean shortribs right now. So delicious..
I also love a good stonebaked pizza, and tuna sushi is so yummy. I also love fried eel. Hmm.. hard to say, really.
Restaurant.. hmm.. AQUA in Bristol right now. They do some great food. Burger Joint in Bristol also makes a good burger. Korean BBQ in Toronto is great, too.
Don't have a fav number.
And for drink? I usually have water.. but if I treat myself.. it's either to a peroni, smirnoff ice (lime one), or aloe king: aloe vera juice.

Would you consider yourself a sexy babe? How would you feel if someone else considered yourself a sexy babe? if I considered yourself a sexy babe? :O

Do you have any tips for getting along with someone (a girl, yes in that way) who's blunt? We have fun until she's blunt, but they're creases I want to smooth.

Where did you used to live in Toronto? Are most of the people that you joined with still active? Have you ever met somebody on PC and was like HEY I KNOW YOU IN REAL LIFE?

RANDOM FACT!!!!!!!!!?>EFE?G<SD???

Not at all. I don't know if I'm just hard on myself, or realistic. I consider myself a 6/10 on good days. I guess that's the thing about self esteem/ confidence.. no matter how much someone else will tell you "you're a sexy babe", if you don't see it for yourself, you don't end up believing it.
Do you have any tips for getting along with someone (a girl, yes in that way) who's blunt? We have fun until she's blunt, but they're creases I want to smooth.
Getting along with? Or getting with? Either way, they're creases you won't be able to smooth. You can't change someone else. A person needs to want to change for themselves to actually change. There's being blunt, but there's also being tactless. If she's saying something hurtful, let her know it hurts.

RANDOM FACT!!!!!!!!!?>EFE?G<SD???

Greater Toronto Area. No, a lot of them left, but that's alright. Hmm.. no, I don't think so.. but I've had instances where I was like "Damn you live that close to me? We should go to the movies with some friends and meet up all together and chill."
I've had instances where I met someone IRL I knew online on random occasions a couple times. Like I knew this one girl on Deviantart and I saw her at a Harveys once and we chatted and it turned out she lived 5 minutes from me.. and then after we got a bit closer we also found out that our parents were good friends from when they were in highschool too. Small world. Another time I was at a convention and I was selling art prints and one of my really old online friends from 4 years prior recognized my art style and she was all like "Kura is that you? It's Yugh!" I was like.. hot damn. She was one of my first internet friends I ever made, and she was from Ottawa.

Random fact: That's where my username came from, really. My first group of internet friends had Yugioh characters as our nicknames. There was me, Kura.. short for Bakura. Yugi. Yami. Malik. etc. Out of that group of internet friends I made when I first started going online, I have met 5/6 of them, and the last one ended up becoming a Halo-loving douche so I don't plan on ever meeting him haha.

Would you want to excel in an endeavour if it caused one half your body to grow larger than the other?

Do you recycle?

Would rather be between a rock and a hard object, or the devil and the deep blue sea?

Do you like cats? Meoow.

Yeah why not? I feel like what you accomplish in this life is more important than what you look like. Just look at Stephen Hawking- what an inspiration.

Do you recycle?
Yes all the time, and I will go out of my way to do so. When my mom threw a bbq, I even sorted through the garbage after the party was over, to make sure no plastic forks and cups got thrown in the trash. Irritated me because the recycling was right beside there.. and people don't even care where they throw their rubbish. When I'm in a situation that I can't recycle, it actually makes me feel bad.

Would rather be between a rock and a hard object, or the devil and the deep blue sea?
Uh.. what? : | Don't those expressions mean the same thing?
" "Between the devil and the deep blue sea" is an idiom meaning a dilemma—i.e., to choose between two undesirable situations (equivalent to "between a rock and a hard place")." -Wikipedia

Guess it doesn't matter which I choose?

Do you like cats? Meoow.
I used to, but now I find most of them to be self-righteous little pricks. Besides where they poop, they're not even low-maintenance.

What would a Kura cookie - if you could design it - look like? Would you eat it?

If you had a lightsaber, what colour would it be?

Do you have a favourite fruit?

What would you do if you had a legion of cute, pint-sized minions? What would you do if they talked like Claptrap? What if just one did? :P

Also, what would your Sith name be?

What makes you happy?
Lots of things, really! Even super simple things like.. I dunno.. finding something I like on sale, or being able to make a friend smile. I tend not to go with the flow most times, and I need to learn to do it more often, but I try my best to stay happy all the time. I think a lot of happiness comes from the self rather than things, and it can be a bit tough to find happiness when there is something about yourself that you dislike.

What or Who is your inspiration?
I have a lot of inspirations. My mom and my grandma are probably my biggest. I avoided replying to this thread because my grandma died just a couple weeks back and it has been emotional for me. She is someone who was always strong and never complained. She had a brain-stem stroke 12 years ago and since then my mom has been looking after her. It has been a long journey but I have learned so much about life just by watching and being with them.
Artistic inspirations.. definitely Saskia Gutekunst, Claire Wendling (my sig!) and Rune Bennicke are my fav artists.

What would a Kura cookie - if you could design it - look like? Would you eat it?
I love this question. It would be chocolate on the outside, and like strawberry cheesecake flavour on the inside. I can't decide about the shape but maybe like a chibi version of me or like in the shape of a strawberry (or a kuraberry.. >:3.. ) :3 And yeah, I'd definitely eat it.

If you had a lightsaber, what colour would it be?
Do the different colours mean different things? Maybe blue or purple..

Do you have a favourite fruit?
HMMM.. Maybe.. raspberries. Other than them.. strawberries, mango, and pineapple <3 I have a sweet tooth :3
What would you do if you had a legion of cute, pint-sized minions? What would you do if they talked like Claptrap? What if just one did?

Also, what would your Sith name be?
Uh.. I dunno. Maybe I'll go with something random like Darth Cardinal. *Shrugs* I really can't come up with good names for myself. X3..

This isn't a question, but you're a sweetie~ I enjoyed reading through your answers to these questions.

It's lovely to hear that you have a great relationship now, with someone from PC too!! This forum has created some really long-lasting bonds, relationships included. Sooo cute, I wish you guys the best. <3 Sounds like things are going pretty well with you what with your job and all too and I hope that keeps up.

Also I know this is a weird thing to pick out of all the things you posted but I remember all the porn spam... we got a lot of porn bots back when I was on the staff, don't know what it's like now but there's nothing like that (other types of spambots) on the forums I visit now so... pretty terrifying for me since I was very young and naïve and they were shock images...

Just wanted to say hi and creep a bit, sorry I'm not good at coming up with questions ;;;

Actually: how hyped for AA5?!?!?!? And are you gonna play XY?

eta: Oh god sorry for the necro///

Oh gosh it must;ve been at the same time then that you were around haha!! And don't worry, I don't mind you commenting at all! In fact it's really fun! :33 Thanks for wishing me well!!!

I am very hyped for AA5!! And I just got pokemon today (had to import it because I have a Canadian 3DS) but it's really fun so far! :333

BahISuck: Fitness was going well but my PT pushed me too far and I hurt my arm. Just letting it rest until I continue with it again..

I tried ramen a couple weeks ago! Like the real authentic kind! It was amazing and I want to go back to that place! Was super yummy!!! :3

lol we have a rough past, so I don't know why I'm asking you this. :[

Do you remember me?

Spoiler:
Used to date Jack O'Neill? We broke up though, but him and I are still friends. I can't remember anything else that would help you remember who I am. :[

Uh.. Paige under a different account? I dont think I particularly had a rough past with Paige though...? But I knew he had a crush on Paige, dunno about anyone else he dated or whatever so that's why I'll guess Paige..
But hey the past is the past man.. I don't see why people should hold onto gripes of the past unless someone deliberately hurt them and haven't changed as a person.
I had a rough past with Pachy, and we patched it up (no pun intended) haha.. but yeah.. no use to dwell on the past when we are young and stupid right?

So in short, no I dont! But hey, welcome back!

lol... it's me Kimi. XD I don't even remember why we fought though. O_o But you are right. The past is the past. We've both changed and matured, either way. ^^

Oh hey Kimi!!! Haha I don't remember either! Maybe we were both just crazy hormonal-filled teens and happened to bite on each other and get on each other's nerves or something. Glad you seem to be doing well! Feel free to VM me to chat :3 Unless ya got another question that you'd like to put on this thread (or feel free to do both!)

If you were to learn kung fu, which style would interest you the most in learning?

If you were a ninja, what animal companion would you want?

Hmmm maybe judo? I think I would be good at it because I have a low center of gravity.

And regardless of being a ninja or not, I'd love to have a smart, fully trained, dinosaur. (A compy or velociraptor would be awesome.)

Sorry if it's been asked before, but I've had this question on my mind recently, and I might as well ask. Your theme, where is it from, and what is its significance to you, if any? You've had it for as long as I can remember :P

It's a drawing from French artist Claire Wendling that I made into a signature. There's no significance.. I just really like the picture and I like her art :3

Hm.. I'd say a lot closer-knit. There were less members and I found they hung around the same sections- lots of regulars. No VMs, no blogs.. so everyone would talk more in the threads and in the games. The IRC was more popular.. There were subsections like the T-Dome (adults only) and the Daily Chit Chat would have monthly threads that would get to 20k posts in that single month (by the time you typed up a 2 sentence post and hit enter, at least 7 people would've posted before you. It was crazy!)
2004 was fun, but 2005 was my favourite because by then I made lots of friends and I'd talk to them every day :3
2014 is fun too though! It's just hard to find the time to post every day now that I'm an adult :3

I remember way back when I or someone else asked you to rate yourself and you gave yourself a '6'.

Did you mean it back then or was it in jest?

Do you feel the same way now?
