The Thing That Goes Doink

I survived Ale Fest Leavenworth. I didn't care much about the ale, but the live music and the shopping in downtown Leavenworth is always worth the trip.

And because there's nothing interesting to report in my life, you get a meme:
♥ Pick up to 10 OTPs.
♥ Describe them in lyrics.
♥ Have your f-list guess the OTP.

1) I'm too old to believe // All these childish stories. // There is no such thing as faith, // And trust, // And pixie dust.

2) "Say it Right" by Nelly Furtado

3) If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you, // If I could find the voice that says the words to capture you.

4) Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream // Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream // make a bad one good make a wrong one right // power of love that keeps you home at night

5) "(I Won't Say) I'm in Love" by Megara from Disney's Hercules

6) And you can tell everybody this is your song // It may be quite simple but now that it's done // I hope you don't mind // I hope you don't mind that I put down in words // How wonderful life is while you're in the world

7) Though nothing // Will keep us together // We could steal time // Just for one day

8) D' you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need, // And taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed?

- "There She Goes" by The La's

10) Cannot touch // Cannot hold // Cannot be together // Cannot love // Cannot kiss //Cannot have each other

Fandoms are: , Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem 9/10, Ouran High School Host Club, Escaflowne, , Bones, , Trigun and Witch Hunter Robin.

I fully admit that some of my OTPs are obvious (as in, I talk about them all the time or something along those lines), and others I have but haven't really mentioned. And some of these songs can apply to multiple OTPs, but there is one specific OTP that I think of first when I hear them. :3 So. Should be challenging.

Okay, for the reminder part, I want to once more ask my f-list to submit questions to this entry. It's the one about the fifteen characters, and asking questions involving the numbers. (i.e. Two and Five are going out for drinks. Where do they go and what do they order?) I only had two people suggest questions (thank you genetic_drift and bandnerd88!!) so I'm looking for more. I'll give it another week and then post the answers.

In other breaking news, I'm finally registered for SakuraCon. This has turned out to be very awesome for me, as I was at Anime Expo last year for the world premier of the Trigun movie trailer (which was as yet to be titled), and I will be at SakuraCon this year for the world premier of .

The anime Gods love me.

sideshow_ericka already reserved a hotel room, and it's already been decided that we're taking my car because 1) it is little and zippy and perfect for Seattle traffic, 2) it has four doors, 3) it has a decent sized trunk, 4) it gets pretty good gas mileage and 5) it has a brand new stereo system which can play iPods or MP3 players of choice, MP3/WMA CDs, SD cards, USB drives, standard CDs, and has a Bluetooth connection so I can make/receive calls through my car. I plan on driving a good chunk of the trip (probably with no more than three passengers at the current attendance roster, though it's possible we'll have one more person), with sideshow_ericka driving in Seattle unless travellyr does end up coming, in which case both of us might just pawn it off on her. XD I have no problems driving us over the passes and into North Bend - I've done it before - but I really dislike driving in heavy traffic (which is why my husband usually ends up driving when we're on vacation) in unfamiliar territory.

Another perk of going to SakuraCon is that at least one evening, granted programming is teh suck or not particularly interesting, will be spent hanging out with a buddy from middle/high school, who has promised me real food (as opposed to the crap we'll be eating at the con) and alcohol. I suppose I could try and see everyone I know in Seattle that weekend, but that might be a little much. Besides, I have no idea what my sister's work schedule is, or if my sister-in-law will even want to visit with me. (We get along just fine, it's just that we don't have that much in common.)

So. Anyway. :3

I am officially excited now. I don't think I'll be looking to spend a ton of money at the con. Pick up a tee shirt or two, maybe a pin. See if I can hunt down hard to find manga volumes (specifically, more of tactics since my local Barnes & Noble doesn't carry it). Hunt down costume pieces.

Wow, less than a month to go!!
