Hiya everyone!

Firstly, Blogger has very kindly deleted EVERYONE'S blogs off of my reading list, which was nice of them! Now I have to find the blogs I was following again... -_-

Secondly, now that's out of the way! I got my job! Yay! I had three shifts already this week and when I got home I was too lazy to get on a computer, so I'm sorry this post is a good week late! I work in a tiny little shop in my local town and it sells looooads of little itsy bitsy things like wooden hearts, photo frames and other cute things! The place smells soooo good as it sells incense and oil burners. The Christmas ones are on sale now so the whole store smells like cinnamon, I was wiping my mouth every 3 minutes! XD

Moving onto the main theme of this post: MY TRIP TO MCM LONDON COMECON!!!

I got up super duper early (6AM, so not that super early) and put my entire cosplay on. I got a few funny looks at the train station. Just to let everyone know I was the only one in the train station for a while, in my bright green Gumi wig. I looked all awkward and hilarious as everyone who passed me gave me a look like "what the hell is she doing?!" Luckily it wasn't too long before we were all on the train.

When we got there it still had two hours before it opened... So we sat at practically the front of the queue, there were about thirty people in front of us. Considering we had two whole hours to wait the time went really quickly! I was happy to sit there and just watch everyone walk past in their cosplays, there were so many Slendermen, vocaloids and Pedo bears.

Haven't got any pictures as I have no camera at the moment... which was depressing. I only took £70 with me and now I want more stuff! All I bought was a ASDF T-Shirt which says "I am a Stegosaurus" on the front, an adorable bag with Chibi Miku, Len and Rin on the front, and a copy of Angel Beats which only cost £10 (which works perfectly, I was sure there was something wrong with it at that price but it's an official certificated copy!)

I was gonna queue up for all the celebrities but the queue's were massive and some of them were charging £15 for an autograph. I walked away after seeing one person... There was loads of other stuff to do so I walked around for ages! There was no way to finish it all in one day!

I got sooo many hugs from people and a couple of people yelled "GUMI!" when I walked past before tackle glomping me, I felt so famous! ^-^ I have to say though, I glomped my fair share of people too, especially the Lens, Soras and Roxases.

There were so many dances going on too, I missed the caramelldansen (p*ssed off! XD) I was buying stuff and didn't make it there on time... There was a guy there dressed as a big speaker and Gangnam style was playing on repeat... all day long, people started to follow this guy round, he got a good crowd of about one hundred people following him around, me amongst them.

I went to a vocaloid meetup and met so many AWESOME people who I'll definitely stay in contact with. At the moment I'm debating whether or not to go to hyper Japan at the end of the month but I don't think I could afford another trip to a con for a while...

All in all I'd say it was practically the best day of my life! I loved all the people there and all the stuff was awesome! Next time I think I'll go for an extra day and spend one day meeting people and the other day shopping! Now that I have my new job think of all the stuff I'll be able to buy at the next one in May *drools*. Once Christmas is done I'll start saving up for MCM MAY! I want more things!

Onto my top 3 vocaloid songs this week:

Number 3: SeeU's Gangnam style:
I discovered this about 3 hours ago AND IT'S HILARIOUS!!!

 

Number 2: World Calling by Jin and sung by IA
I have a ridiculous amount of love for IA, I LOVE her voice! She's just so adorable that I want to hug her all the time! She's so sweet!

 

 

Number 1: Ama no Jaku, originally by 164 and GUMI, sung by Mayu

Mayu is Exit Tunes's upcoming new vocaloid, announced in May earlier this year. I found the demo a while back but I completely forgot about it, a couple of days ago I started to wonder if she had been released yet, so I went back and listened to it this week and it's ended up being my FAVOURITE song at the moment, I can't wait until her official release in December (I think...) I love her artwork and her little nasally voice, even if she does wield an axe!

 

 

 

With that I bid you all farewell, have a nice week! 



Just a quick post!

Hiya everyone. It's late and I should really be in bed early because I have a job interview tomorrow, so I'll have to be fast!

Firstly London Comecon was AWESOME and I'll do a full post either tomorrow or the next day, this isn't gonna have any vocaloid songs of the week... because it's late and I'm lazy but I promise I'll do it tomorrow!

Basically I just wanted to give you a linky link to my new mep group I'm starting!
If anybody wants to join feel free, just leave a comment on this post or on the actual video!

Lots of love

Lottie!

Moving swiftly on: Top Three Vocaloid songs!

Number 3: Stop Nagging Me! By Owata-P (If i remember rightly?) and sung by Akita Neru.
Yes. I know she's not a vocaloid but UTAU'S SONGS ARE JUST AS EQUALLY AMAZING! So she's here.

Number 2: Don't kill the Love song. Pinnochio-P sung by Miku!

I'll tell you why in Number 1.

 

Finally!

 

Number 1:  Weekly shonen BYE BYE!! Also by  Pinnochio-P and sung by Miku

 

This video popped up in my subscriptions and got me listening to  Pinnochio-P again. I haven't listened to anything by him/her (I don't know?!) in a while and I really love the quirky songs along with their AMAZING videos!

A couple of bits of good news!

Good afternoon!

I am very well aware that I missed a post last week, and was late with this one! (I'm sorry everybody). Unfortunately I spend all my time doing French work, so far in the six weeks we've been back I've had no less than 30 pieces of French homework, plus essays for my other two subjects! I spent 5 hours doing it yesterday and have been given another 4 hours worth due tomorrow. To top it off I left my USB stick, with my personal statement for university entry on it, at school!

I had a little mental breakdown then decided to give up and blog instead.

But enough with the bad news because I've got some good news next!

Good News Number One: The arrival of Paramount Pictures

Yup, I'm really excited for this! About 2-ish hours away from where I live, in a place called Kent, plans have been made for a Paramount Pictures theme park, said to be bigger than Disneyland Paris! Of course, I shall always be a Disney girl for life  but I'm glad the UK is finally getting and actual THEMED theme park. I mean, we've got Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and the like but no actual movie themed parks at ALL!
Opening in 2018 (ages away) and will include Europe's Biggest EVER water park!

Look at it! Six years to go! ^-^ I'll be all moved out and done with uni by then so... that's a long ol' while!

Good News Number Two: MCM IS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!

This is really what I'm excited for! My very first proper anime/comics/games convention! I'm so very excited! I'm kinda bummed though as my parents aren't entirely fond of me being... well... a downright anime geek and so wouldn't let me fork out a fair amount of money on cosplay. (I was looking at full Gumi cosplay for about £150...) So I decided to keep it simple and do a Rolling Girl cosplay but as Gumi (because she's awesome!)
The line up is a thing of awesomeness. Matt Smith is there on the Friday only but I have school that day! So I'm going on the Saturday instead! However I felt immediately better upon finding out that some of my favourite people will be there: Ali Hillis, who plays Lightning in Final Fantasy; Liam O'Brien, who plays Gaara *fangirls*, Tomska (ASDF MOVIES FTW!), the cast and crew of Eddsworld (sadly minus Edd, He'll never be forgotten, that Internet legend!) and the guy who sculpted Darth Vader's mask (I forgot his name)
<(^-^;)

I suppose I should wrap this up and go back to panicking about life!

So this weeks top 3 vocaloid songs are:

Number 3: Rolling Girl by wowaka, sung by Miku!

Because of my upcoming cosplay, I've been listening to this song a lot lately and just casually having a boogie!  A classic vocaloid song! I just need to finish my skirt and get some eyeshadow without sparkles (because funnily enough bruises look a LOT less real when they are glittering!)

 

 

Number 2: Slow Paced Chaser by morlbon, sung by Megurine Luka

Possibly may have posted this before, I remember talking about it somewhere before now... Anyhow, I never really liked Luka at first, it took me ages to start liking her songs. However I really do like her voice! I love the little clock in this and the absolutely adorable artwork!  

 

Number 1: A Tale of Six Trillion Years and One Night by kemu and Sung by IA
The second IA song I ever heard and, unlike Luka (sorry Luka I love you now) I loved her right off the bat. This song is my personal favourite and I can't believe I've never posted it before! It's one of those songs I can NEVER EVER get sick of! I just love it so much!

 

Bye bye everyone! I promise to post on time next week!

                              -Love Lottie!

Drumroll please!

I would have posted a couple of days ago, but Doctor Who finished and I was a lil' bit sad! D':  BUT OSWIN IS COMING BACK GYAAAA! (It was in the ending, so NOT a spoiler*

So, I MUST inform everyone of my tip-top-super-duper-brand-new NEWS! (Well, I found it out about a week ago...)

Ahem, just... watch the video!

KINGDOM HEARTS FREAKING 1.5, a HD remake of Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, containing scenes from 358/2 days. I knew this was coming, but no-one believed me! Nobody! They all thought I was mad! Mad I tell you! Mad! HEHEHEHE!

So I'm now glad I bought my playstation 3, because I was beginning to get a little bored of LittleBigPlanet, Trinity Universe and Tomb Raider (the only games I ever play...) and I'm finally glad there's a new (-ish) game for the PS3, because the stupid things won't play PS2 games and I only bought it because I wanted to play KH2 after my PS2 died.

Due for release sometime in 2013 in Japan, but you know, US and European fans will riot if this is not announced within the next few months... I honestly hope Square Enix knows what's good for them! *Evil Grin*

Watch the video, Google it, Fangirl: this SHOULD be the next week of your life!

I'm a very happy fangirl!

***********************************************************************

So this weeks top 3 Vocaloid songs are:

Number 3:  Black board.

 

Number 2: Deep Sea City

 



 

Number 1: Akatsuki Arrival

 



Apologies for not writing who it's by, etc. but I really have to go!

 

Love Lottie <3

 

PS, I'm thinking of starting a Vocaloid MEP group but I'm not sure.

 

I'm so tired... so very tired.

Hi everybody! Today I was gonna do another review but two in a row may be a bit boring!

So instead I'm gonna do something I promised to do a little while back! Ok, so a couple of posts ago Sonny commented this:

So! Some questions:

Who's your favorite Pretty Cure character?

Who's your favorite Alice in the Country of Hearts guy? (Mine's Julius, all the way. LOVE HIM.)

Culd you make a list of your fave manga? That'll be my nextest post, I think...

Oh, and fave anime characters!!

Only cuz anime fanz rule and I like to know these things!! X3 Or not, you know, your choice... v///v



So for today I have decided to do this!




Ok, so Question 1: Who's your favorite Pretty Cure character?

I'm gonna have to say Nozomi/Cure Dream, I just love how fun she is and she loves food as much as I do! I really love her as a character and I have to say I've changed my mind, Splash star was my favourite series but when I went back and watched them all again I decided That Yes! Precure 5 is my favourite.



Question 2: Who's your favorite Alice in the Country of Hearts guy?


Peter, just because I find him adorable! I constantly find myself staring at the pages with him on it! Yelling at Alice whenever she says he's annoying! Of course, him in his bunny form is also Squee-worthy! I would follow him forever!  \(>///-///<)/




Question 3: Culd you make a list of your fave manga?
Aaaaand with that, every manga I've ever read has fallen out of my brain...

Ahem:
Alice in the Country of Hearts
Ouran High School Host Club
Sailor Moon
Hatsune Mix!
1/2 Prince (Technically not a manga)
Vampire Knight
Prétear (I actually managed to find the entire series at my library!)
Pokémon!
Naruto (Although it took me aaaaaaaages...)
Shounen Dolls
I've recently started reading yotsubato! It's good.

I could add more, but we'd be here all night! In fact normally about ten seconds after hitting "Publish" I'll be smacking myself for forgetting something...

Question 4: Oh, and fave anime characters!!
Ok, I'll do a top ten (but it's so haaaaaaaard!)
In no particular order:

Kanade from Angel Beats!
Yuri from Angel Beats
England from Hetalia
Konata from Lucky Star
Hina-Ichigo from Rozen Maiden
Tomoya from Clannad
Nana from Elfen Lied
Otonashi Yuzuru From Angel Beats. (As you may have guessed by now, it's my favourite anime!)
Naoi from Angel Beats
Rakka from Haibane Renmei

Ok, I hope that was enough for you, Sonny (my new twin!!! ^-^).

So I'll move on to this weeks top three vocaloid songs!

Number 3: Dear Mother, sung by Miku, I forget who it's by.
I found this absolutely adorable! I loved it! It made my go downstairs and hug my Mum right away!

 

Number 2:   Straying Rhapsody, by, well, that's the point of the song, we have to guess who it's by! Sung by Lily, Gakupo and GUMI!!!!

 



This weeks Number 1 song is: Sorry to You by FeiP. Sung by Gumi and featuring Luka in le background! I find it funny how Gumi always gets one-sided love songs! This guy deserves a kick! Gumi is easily my favourite Vocaloid. I only started listening to her a lot after I took three different personality quizzes and was told I'm most like Gumi. I hope you like this song!

 

 

 

I wish you all a pleasant week! (I'm trying to do weekly updates from now on!) 

Ugh! School!

Hi all!
I've been back at school for one week now and I've already been dumped under an ever growing pile of work, so this will only be a short post then I'm back to writing a personal statement for le university!

Ok so firstly, I SAW BRAVE! AaAaAaAaAah! It was amazing, one sec, the kettle's done, I want a cup of tea. Anyhoo, I absolutely love love loved it, it's been one of the best things I've seen in ages! I absolutely loved the little brothers! They were sooo adorable!

Next up, a little, quick, tiny demand. To all of those who have not yet seen "Angel Beats." Go do so. Right now. Now, I tell you. I adored this, I think it's my new favourite anime!

It's about a group of teenagers (see left!   ^-^) who, after having thoroughly depressing lives and died waaay before their time, want to fight against God. It follows the story of a boy named Otonashi Yuzuru, who died and woke up in a world (a High School) next to a girl named Yuri (who looks and acts amazingly like Suzumiya Haruhi!) and discovers he doesn't remember anything about his past life.

Yuri is then found out to be the leader of the SSS, the Afterlife Battlefront, who are battling Tenshi, who they believe to be an angel. If a person in this limbo world has a normal school life, he or she disappears. Tenshi, as the Student council President, is responsible for making them live a normal school life. So the team decides to actively disobey as many school rules as they can!

I love the story, the animation style, the numerous musical numbers, the characters, everything! It's so heartbreakingly beautiful! Watch it! Pleeeeease!

I spent a bit longer than I meant to on this so here's my top 3 vocaloid songs of the week!

Number 3: Re-Education, by neru ft. Kagamine Rin and Len
Neru is so awesome, this is no exception, I love anything by neru!

 

 

Number 2: The Trash Heap Princess and Apostrophe, by sasakure.UK ft. Hatsune Miku.

This is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. The  "ICQCQ" gives me the shudders, everytime. Oh, there's also another song in the series, Rin sings it: Non-World Harmonise, but I don't like it nearly as much.

 

 

 

 

And finally my Number One song of the week is...  The Wolf That Fell in Love With Little Red Riding Hood. By Hitoshizuka-p ft. Kagamine Rin and Len. I'm not a RinxLen girl, but this is up at the top of the sadness chart, surrounded by mothy songs. I teared a little at the end.





 

 

And so, I must leave you now! Bye bye!
