10:27 am - Long time no see...

It's been ages since I've been able to use the internet. I finally get to see cyborg haven and there's no new postings! Oh well. Moved back to a bigger city this week, where they have shops with manga and anime, he he he. I'm so happy.
I was setting up my room the other day when I noticed that I have like no posters of Dragonball Z! Or of the androids! Shock! So it has now become my mission to find DBZ/Android posters. If anyone would like to assure me that DBZ/Android posters still exist I would be extremely greatful and worshipfull. lol

10:55 am - First entry EVER, my android 17 love...
|
kyokyogirl

Cyborg haven has the pleasure of scoring my very first entry on this entire site. I chose this community to join because I am a huge fan of Dragonball Z, my favourite character being none other than Android 17. Compared to alot of other people in this community I don't acctually know much about the character other than the usual Dr.Gero shpiel (if that's even a word).
I have to say that the happiest day of my life was wahen I finaly got my mitts on 'The History Of Trunks' movie. I have lost count of the number of time I have watched it. I also slow down the fight scenes to watch the animation. I've also paused the movie while playing playing just to draw an awesome pic of Android 17.
I'm studying at university and I always feel aprehensive when people ask me what my interests are. They don't have clue what anime or manga is (I have yat to meet a new person that does) and then looka t me funny when I expalin the it's japanese cartoons (using Dragonball Z) as an example. So most of the time I skip saying that particular interest and just say I like to draw instead. It's apparently more acceptable to draw cartoons.
Anywho...
I spose the general gist of this first entry is to say the I love Android 17.

( Android 17 fanart! )
Also posted on Devart.
I'd like to know what you all think. :3 I figured if I'm going to post it anywhere it might as well be here, since I know everyone can appreciate 17. I went for an unusual angle, but one that I believe both 17 and 18 have been shown in during the series. I just had to match the text with his socks. XD Gotta love that green!

I'm pretty much the newest person in this community, having only joined LiveJournal, what, 20 minutes ago? Anyway, now I'm going to tell you a bit about my past. If you don't feel like reading, skip down, comment and shy away from the big scary text coming your way.
After seeing the episode 'Our Hero Awakens', which was my first encounter with Dragonball Z (somewhere back in 2001 or something), I became extremely interested in Seventeen, Eighteen, and Sixteen - Juuhachi-gou especially, since she resembled me. It took me a long time to type ‘Dragonball Z – Android 17 and 18’ in the Google search bar, but when I pressed the Enter button, I discovered the standard (if not evil) ‘they are androids created by Dr. Gero’ information that I already read over about ten times, and then, there were the shrines. Yes, I remember my first click on Juunana-gou’s Temple and Poetry In Motion: Shrine to Android 18. I was astounded by the large amount of images, both good quality and bad, but refused to save them onto my hard drive: as far as I was concerned, PIM and the Temple would exist forever. Back then, I was only ten years old, and didn’t understand the concept of paying for domains and server hosts going offline. A few weeks later, I clicked on Poetry In Motion again, waited for the page to load, only to be greeted by the 404 Error page. All of it was gone. Upon reading that, I frowned and continued searching through Google’s search results, knowing that someone, anyone, could have saved those images and put them on their site. When I finally discovered a DBZ special called ‘The History Of Trunks’, and found that the two ‘androids’ I admired were going to play a large part, I instantly set to work looking for information about that, watching Cartoon Network daily, seeing if it was going to go on air.
In 2001, I wrote my first DBZ story, based off of a dream I had – one where Seventeen and Eighteen come into the real world and I follow them around aimlessly. Not, mind you, like a squealing fangirl. I'm not that kind of fan.
The dream had, oddly, been short, yet very detailed. It skipped several places, several times. Example: one moment, I’d be hiking up a mountain path, and the next I’d be at a mall trying to shy people away from crowding around the two anime figures in desperate hope that they wouldn't become angry. When I first learned of Seventeen’s and Eighteen’s Japanese name, I didn’t exactly memorize it right away. It took me about a week to get that in my head, and two for the word Jinzouningen. Two years ago, in 2003, my Jinzouningen image collection ranged over two thousand images. However, because of that, my computer was slow and lagged greatly. I had to resort to deleting the low-quality pictures. By then I knew the differences between Future 17 and ‘Present’ 17. Back in 2001, I thought they were both the same people. Because of their destructive, murderous natures, the Mirai’s stood out from their Present counterparts.
I found them interesting and once again set to work trying to figure out why they destroyed and such. At that time, I had achieved in downloading all the episodes 17 and 18, Mirai or not, had appeared in, all the .wavs I could find and a few different versions of their theme songs to go along. By then, I truly found out what being obsessed over something felt like. My parents, as with my brother, only know a third of who I am – shy and kind. However, beneath my quiet shell is an angry, constantly erupting volcano overflowing with emotions and a desire to end the human race. In no way was I like the giggling girls at my grade school: pink was my least favorite color, I rarely talked, was often in my own world fabricating up harsh, dark thoughts that I revealed to no one.
When my second grade teacher, Ms. Journey, brought in a large stuffed dog, everyone but me commented on how adorable it was. I stared, feeling left out, trying to understand, trying to know what being ‘adorable’ meant. It was like I was immune to that feeling. During recess, all I did was stand on the pavement, having no courage to go up to someone and say, “hi, can you be my friend?”. I wanted to let them come to me as I waited, but no one ever did. Well, no one, until Melissa Calawa, a girl with blue-green eyes, crooked teeth and long straight brown hair, took a step forward, introduced herself, and asked me if she wanted to play with her and Ronya, another girl in my class. I nodded, somewhat reluctant. We traveled across the playground, over the blacktop, and to a small gravel area with a few small trees and bench that was surrounded on three sides a small brick wall. That became our ‘play place’ for the next three years. They were my best, and only, friends for four years, until they suddenly ignored me when I went to junior high, as if I was stone. Certainly, I saw them talking to each other, laughing with each other, but never me. It was like they were purposely excluding me for a reason I didn’t know.
Well, you know that sentence a while ago that said I had thoughts I never exposed to anyone? I let a few of those slip, in a writing assignment for Language Arts class. That led me to having a meeting with the school counselor, her sending a note to my parents, and my parents making me have meeting with a psychiatrist named Stephanie. Why would something you wrote on a piece of paper make everyone freak out so badly, you might ask? Well, I talked about hearing voices, the voices of a nine-year-old boy and girl that I had been hearing for the past week. Also, I thought I saw them once out of the corner of my eye, at evening while I was brushing my teeth. Of course, I could have just been hearing the thoughts of the non-sentient part of my brain. Those could have all been totally made-up, but I know one event in my boring history wasn’t. After a month, the voices of the children had left, and I could no long ask them for help on a math problem or simply chat with the two as I stared out into space. But soon, however, a person I named 'Hell Fighter' filled up that space. He stayed much longer then the odd gray children, about three years, before he said he didn’t need me anymore – he said that I was beginning to function normally, that my memory was increasing and that I could succeed on my own without fail. I told him not to leave, begged him, pleaded, but even so he departed without a final word.
During the time with Hell Fighter, my grades were the highest anyone had ever seen for someone who was born three months early. When I was born, I was bright red, had no ears, shut eyes, hardly any mouth and my lungs were hardly developed. The doctors and nurses around me jabbed tubes up my nose that were connected to an oxygen tank, that forced air into my lungs, forced them to expand and contract. They stuck needles in my arms and feet, poked and prodded me, exclaimed how amazing it was that I was alive. The needles left scars that would never go away, but, this isn’t about my history – the story of my birth is boring. Back on topic.
I went to another psychiatrist, one at the Catlin Gables school. I showed her my stories and she read, trying to understand my fascination with the twin artificial beings. However, I only visited her a few times, as soon it was time for my arrival at the Lake Oswego junior high.
The few amount of friends I retained in grade school all left me, and now, in eighth grade, I haven’t made any more. To my surprise, Hell Fighter returned a few times during times of great stress at school – mainly in P.E., but only for a few seconds. I remember one occasion...we were playing volleyball, and the large amount of noise off to my left distracted me. My head whipped instinctively in the direction of the loud outburst of shouting, my eyes shut, and quite suddenly I felt that my body was no longer my own. Without my consent, my hands locked together in the bumping position, and they jerked upwards. I felt a soft contact, the sudden numbness of my body fade rapidly, and looked to the front, eyes open and locked on the white volleyball sailing through the air, over the net, and down onto the court. I had just scored a point for my team with my eyes shut, my face averted, and my attention directed elsewhere. My first score ever! Everyone on my team cheered for me, the teacher later congratulated me, saying how beautiful a bump that was. I smiled weakly, nodded, and went on my way.
Another time I knew Hell Fighter returned was when my math teacher called on me answer a math problem. A problem I couldn’t possibly figure out with a mind so horrible (because of my prematurity, it takes me much longer to memorize things. In the time it takes people to have learned 50% of something, I’ve only memorized 15%). Once again, I felt my body go numb and heard myself say, “x equals 487.25”. Weird, I know. Scary, you bet. True, of course. After all, what reason would I have to lie? Okay, I think it’s time to wrap this ‘getting to know me’ topic up. So…yeah, those are the oddest points in my life right there…along with a bunch of mumbo jumbo in between…

9:51 am - Cosplay Picnic/Photoshoot In Washington State!!!
|
sharachan
|
You're invited to a photoshoot at the Tumwater Falls park on February 19th, from 12 noon to 4 pm! Wear your favorite costume, or anything that you think would just look awesome in a nature type setting!
I decided that the best thing to do for the month of February, cause there are no conventions in the Washington State immediate area to go to, was to see how many people I could get together for a photoshoot/picnic.
The Tumwater Falls has a bunch of really awesome scenic places to take pictures at along its trail, including waterfalls, the Deschutes River, grassy fields, and even a playground with pirate ships! It's located just south of Olympia, Washington to give you a little perspective on that.
Hopefully everyone that comes can bring some sort of food with them, be it chips and soda, to salad or pizza, so we'll all have something to snack on after running around for pictures! Also, remember to bring your cameras!
In here are some pics of the site (Tumwater Falls), so you can see what it looks like.
Driving directions:
I'd suggest going to mapquest.com, to driving directions, and typing in the address:
200 Deschutes Way Sw,
Tumwater, WA 98501-4087
For any questions or comments, please contact me at ritsuko_chan@yahoo.com
Hope to see you there!

10:49 am - Layout
|
sharachan

I just want to let everyone know the results of the layout poll (I realize it was awhile ago, but I'm slow sometimes):
Regular Juunanagou received four votes, to win
Juunanagou with Juuhachigou received two votes tied for second, with 17 and Trunks.
So I have begun work on Regular Juunanagou layout, which hopefully wont take me as long as it took me to count the votes, neh? :)
I was thinking since 17 and 18 won second place, that we could make the community icon those two.
Or with 17 and Trunks. Both won second.
So...
Would anyone like to make or submit a new icon for the community icon? If we have more than one submisison, we can vote on those too. Otherwise, I can just make one myself. Either way works. I need to scattle off to work now, though, so I'll check back later tonight!

So I found this Japanese "androids" website/webring by accident tonight. It led me to a Dragonball webring, and on that webring there are categories of specific things in Dragonball...like the twins, for example.
So I give to you that wonderful site. This is all translated through Excite Japan, which is better than babelfish, thank god. All the links on this page are specifically related to 17 or 18, and it tells you under each link what each site has.
I am really just sort of sitting here in awe at all the new fanart and beautiful cosplay I am finding. There HAS to be a way to contact these people and like...unite or something. ;-;

What's up guys.
Remember I was writing a fanfic called Cyborg Memoirs, about my rpg version of 18, like four months ago? Well, I finally got around to adding the 2nd (yes, ONLY the 2nd) chapter tonight. It's about 4500 words, I guess. I'm working on chapter three right now...and HOPEFULLY, it won't take that long to get the next chapter up. ;-;
Check it out. Feedback and criticisms are appreciated. ^_^
Oh, and I also put it on fanfic.net right hurr, in case you prefer that. -_-;
