Quick Poll: Which Cosplay To Do? II

UPDATE: Looks like Vocaloid is the winner this time. Thanks to all who have voted! The poll will remain open and the ranking of the non-winning choices will determine the contents of my next cosplay poll, to come with the Summer 2009 anime season. The lowest ranking choices will be reckoned off.

The write-in results are hilarious. I’ve gotten people’s votes for Chi’s Sweet Home (XDD), Haruhi (oh God, don’t you know I’ve sworn off Haruhi until second season finally airs?), Umineko (a little too early for that), etc.

Besides the Vocaloid group cosplay, I’ll probably be inexplicably drawn into the new Fullmetal Alchemist series and end up cosplaying Ed or someone else equally short. I’m also planning on doing some nostalgia cosplay at some point this summer, like Ichijoji Ken from Digimon Adventure 02, because Ken-chan was my first anime waifu/hasbando and the one who made me pick up chopsticks again.

Stuff From 2004

This is ridiculous.

I logged into my ancient Geocities account after guessing through my security question by sheer luck (Who was your childhood hero?) and found that I did leave a few things behind in my account, dated from 2004.

The old site I ran was called “Hitorijime Anime Lyrics”, the vestiges of which can be found on a handful of lyrics submission sites.

Here are some of the things that I found: (God, my art sucked)
