Ok, so I haven't been on here in forever. No joke. So I thought I should direct anyone who cares to know to our new page at [link].

Same people. Same art. Same cosplay. New name.

I still check this one but very infrequently, so if you really need you comment answered or want to get ahold of us faster, I suggest commenting there. Also, there's new art!

What more can you ask for ^_^

Thank you for all the love,
Kyon

Well Mertocon is now in clear sight and it looks like the Akatsuki inc. will be trading in their cloaks and clouds for a more monochromatic style...The Espada from Bleach (*sigh* the villains again).

On that note, I will be hanging up my Deidara poof to begin by new costume as Nel, in her Espada uniform, soon, and it’s been a while since I’ve actually been a female character, so I’m pretty excited. Nel’s cool and I’m happy I finally found someone to be from Bleach. The rest of the Akatsuki will be making the transition as well; Itachi will be taking the position of the resident emo kid, Ulquiorra, Tobi will be Grimmjow, Leader/Pein will be Luppi, Sasori will be Tesla, and the rest have ideas but haven’t really committed yet. Were still throwing the idea around.

That takes care of the ‘Nel’ in the title, but what of the Ninetales? No it’s not from Naruto… starting as an idea of our Pein, who got it from who knows where, we will be (hopefully) cosplaying realistic/ human/modern/something like that interpretations of Pokemon characters. Pein will be Mew and it looks like I will be Ninetales, with my bestest friend ever, Takun (Sasori), accompanying me as Vulpix. But that was just a suggestion my friend gave me. I’m open to any and all suggestions as I have no idea what I’m doing here. I’ve been a little caught up with everything else to put much thought to it.

Now this leaves me with the Mobile Market portion of my title. That’s not what it’s going to be called but, hey, it’s a working title for now. Like it sounds, the Akatsuki will be opening shop at Metrocon 2008, hopefully offering a variety of cosplaying accessories and fun stuff. We have a basic outline of products to be sold but were open to any and all suggestions anyone has to offer. Were thinking small though, as the ‘Mobile Market’ has to be…well mobile. But we are most definitely taking commissions which we can make and then deliver at the convention, same as our artists, Takun, the lovely artist that shares this name (and who screams at me every week to take all her “crappy old drawing” down…I have obviously ignored her), Pein (who can be found at her username ‘jaicy’. I’d do the cool icon thing if I knew how…her name's under my watchers), Kakuzu, and Konan, will also be taking commissions both before and during the convention.

So that’s about it for future plans… Now awaiting approval, suggestions, and impending brain implosion. This has been Kyon, over and out. *cue static*

So, Megacon has come and gone
So now it's time to wait
To take some time to make this rhyme
Before I deliberate

I'm not quite sure what caused this spur
Of randomness and verse
But it’s with full intent, I do lament,
So it will probably get worse



Now Megacon was fun, of course,
I’d be last to complain
But I can’t say I saw much of it
For the line ups were insane

Hours I spent, Saturday
Just sitting in those lines
But we made do, me and my crew
(But I wish they’d closed those blinds)

And in the end, Sasori won
A Judge’s Favorite actually
They said that she had “Abs of Steel”
And I say I’d have to agree

But poor Zetsu, he was not seen
As special in their eyes
Though I doubt he cared as long as he
Could soon escape from his disguise



But our group was tough and strong we stood
Until the very end
When Saturday was sent away
With the rave we did attend

Sunday was for shopping
And to the dealer’s room we headed
To blow some cash, and build our stash,
Until we were indebted

But eventually the day did end
And though I’m sad to say
We all were forced to say goodbye
And go our separate way

And while we drove we waved goodbye
To the grand hall that we were passing
But was it a crime that we yelled just one more time
“Hey, Listen!” to Link we’d been harassing?



But now my rhyme is almost done
Thank god for those small favors
But indeed I do have a question for you
All of my deviantart neighbors

I’m thinking of embarking
On a new cosplay quest, you see
But I seem to have a problem
Fullmetal Alchemist or the tempting Saiyuki?

I know I’m nagging but now I’m done
This poem shall have no more
But if you please, would you mind to leave
Your input at the door

…yeah

This past week has been one of the most eventful weeks all summer (minus vacation and the pre-Metrocon week o' doom), or rather, it has been on of my most enjoyably active weeks.

To start, my friend came back from Colombia, where he has been living for a year, and is now going to go to school with me. Yay!

We all got to hang out and make him a cosplay for Yasumi which was this past weekend.

He got to meet and hang out with all of my cosplay buddies and most of Akatsuki Inc. at said Yasumicon, and he got along well so he is officially part of our group.

I had a great time at the con. There is nothing like 20 people telling you that you are amazing or "the best Deidara they've ever seen" to do wonders for your self esteem....Is that wrong?

On Saturday, we actual wrote or first skit, which I then fleshed out and typed up, and then on Sunday we partcipated in our first Cosplay contest. Best, and most shocking news of all...We WON! and not only did we win, but we won 'Best in Show'....I'm still in shock. So, Akatsuki Inc. is officially a cosplay group. Whoot, whoot!

Then all this week I get to relax because my mother is back at work and all I have to do is watch my little sister. That and read three books...actually I read one (The Great Gatsby) yesterday and now I have to finish 1984 and all of Dante's Inferno....

Not even the continual approach of school's looming shadow could put a damper on my day....

Also, the thing that got me writing this journal was not, surprisingly, any of this....It was that I got tagged by shadowsteph (if I could do that cool thing where the icon shows I would....but I can't...yeah). And I decided to actually do one of these this...so here it is for those who care and for those who don't ...yeah...

9. What are you wearing?

- Pajamas…Rolling Stones T-shirt and some sweats

10. Did you dream last night?

- Yeah, but if I sat here typing up my dream I would be here for another two hours. Lets just say it was another of my numerous somewhat post apocalyptic or rather “everything goes wrong and the future is run by evil with a underground resistance” kind of dreams where people (yes it was in a fandom….but I’ll never tell you which….)get sent from there present to this future where they don’t exist but there friends and family do. It was mainly focused on the “friends and family” who are primarily secondary characters. I love minor characters….but..yeah…It was really cool…not very original, but cool. And as it turned out, it was the “eople’s” fault, both directly and indirectly, for the takeover of evil because they disappeared when it first showed up, which is when they got sucked into the time warp, and it’s all rather difficult to explain….I need to get off my ass and write fan fiction…’cause it was ten times more detailed then this….yeah…

11. When did you last laugh?

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.

- Um…. I have braces (which will be coming off soon….hopefully)

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

- Um…crap…I feel guilty about this just typing it, but it would probably be making it mandatory for all immigrates to know or learn enough english to get through basic everyday life….It’s just been grating on my nerves recently….every past immigration of peoples has done it, why shouldn’t they? …Damn, I feel horrible writing that…

19. Do you like to dance?

22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?

- Kyo…if I could…but it would probably be weird, so, Huey, or Chester, or, wait…there was another one…whatever. I love old names….How did these go out of fashion?

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?

- Yes, England or Japan. In all seriousness. Even all fan girlishness aside….

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?

- “Don’t worry, I also find them all very annoying and pushy” (when talking about his holier than thou, in your face, we have to get angry about everything remotely against our principles even though we are ‘supposed’ to be a religion of forgiveness and acceptance as we preach to everyone, kind of Christians. Honestly I believe Grissom from CSI summed up by opinion on the matter when he said “I believe in God, I don’t believe in religion” or something to that extent.)

25.Tag 6 people who must also do this in THEIR journal:

- Hey….this isn’t a question…I got gypped one! I demand a refund!

…yeah

Ok, this isn't going to be a really long journal entry, but I just had to write something up. Summer's been summer, and I've recently been watching a lot of movies (HP 5, Transformers, Taladega Nights, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Office Space, Close Encounters of the Third Kind)...that was all in about two days...HP was at the midnight showing though. I finally got a PS2 to replace my broken one, and well, Metrocon...

I'm not even going to start on Metrocon, but I am very happy with how our costumes turned out. We almost have the full Akatsuki now. Hell, we even have a cosplay group, Akatsuki Inc. We have a freakin' MySpace for crying out loud. I mean it's cool but it's slightly overwelming.

Also, school will be starting in a month, and I told myself I would get a head start on art this year. So now I'm desperatly trying to get something done for that, while trying to do my summer reading (I'm almost done with 1984) at brushing up on my basic verb forms in Japanese.

But all this aside, the main purpose of this journal, which, as it turns out, is becoming quite long anyways, is to say that my AP scores came in yesterday.

I passed both. Actually I got a four on both of them, which is absolutely remarkable considering how sure I was that I failed physics. Deep down, I wish I would have done better in art, but a four, is a four, is a four.

So, yeah, stuff....Now I should probably stop reading fanfiction and get back to work....

I should...but I probably wont. Oh well, that's life.....
