Of Dragons...and well...me

[ariadnem]

Well, I was born in 1976, year of the Dragon according to the Chinese tradition.  I was watching a program in Animal Planet today, where they showed the Chinese Zodiac (not horoscope) and they mentioned the animals and their "real" representatives.   Anyhow, I was intrigued by what they said about the Dragon so I decided to look for some info about it....here it is. 

(I won't judge whether it's true or not)

You're Dragon? ^_^ Cool!
I'm Sheep. ^^/ So we're Shiryu and Mu. *lol* ;D

I'm the Dog, so that means I'm... Shigure in Furuba? Yay!

I do not like pale yellow. I love red & black. There's something wrong...

*puts on Kyo cap* ^__^ *lol*
Last year at anime expo in California they were selling those lovely Furuba Kyo hats/caps.
I'm sure they exist for sale out of the convention too, but there tons of people were wearing them on same time, it was really cool. ^_^/
I don't really know well Furuba or anything, but I couldn't resist buying a cat hat like that. *lol* ;D

You've got a cat hat?!? Waah, it must be so cute!

Furuba is one of the best animes ever! So tragic!^^ I'm a sadist...

[sagakure.livejournal.com]

I have several ones from different anime series, as well as add-on fake fur cat-ears that look pretty cute too. ^_^/ (although not the easiest piece of clothing to wear around normally. *LOL* I only wore it once for a convention. ^_^)

Ahh... so you really get into character! Interesting...^^ I go to conventions every once in a while. But it's not the cosplayers that scare me... it's the fans grabbing the said cosplayers!

[sagakure.livejournal.com]

It's because I don't often go to conventions, and I usually dress up pretty "normally", so once in a while when I go to a convention, I feel like I'd be missing the occasion if I didn't cosplay or at least dress up in an anime way. ^_^/ So for that one convention, I was as japanese schoolgirl-catgirl. ^^ *lol* Complete with real loose socks. ^_^

I guess it's because I still look young enough. When I'm much older I think I'll cosplay as something else. ^^; (I wouldn't like to dress up as a schoogirl if I looked over 30 or 40!!*LOL*)

I really want to cosplay as Saga, but I'm lazy/lacking time to biuld the armor. ;D

[bloodyeye-mari.livejournal.com]

Heheh, indeed, a schoolgirl of 40 wouldn't be nice to see.^^

Once I saw a guy dressed as Vash from Trigun. Identical! So funny to see the fangirls chasing him!

Saga must be really diffcult to cosplay. The armour, the loooong blue hair...

True, I have never yet seen a good cosplayer of him. ;_;
But if anyone ever succeeds, imagine the beauty! :D~~~
*lol* I migh try one day. ^_^

I like Shiryu ^^ *lol*

They're all adorable and...well...yummi *licks her lips*

I wouldn't change any of my signs. I'm a Scorpion in the Western Zodiac so...Milo rules!!!!

And you're a dog?? great, faithful and all that (although I prefer cats ^_~) and yes, there's always something wrong. hehehehe

And I want one of those cat hats!!! *pouts*

[sagakure.livejournal.com]

Yay for Milo! ^__^//

The cat years I bought were hand made, so it's always possible to build them if you don't find a place that sells cat hats. :D

And I'm tiger. Grrrr! Hm, young Dohko came to my mind. *drools*

Silly comment, I know. ^^U

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Not silly whatsoever ^^

I wonder...what will the sound of a dragon be???

*plop*

I’m a snake, just like Shaina.

I was born in 1965, which makes me a Wood Snake. I didn’t know about that.

Thanks for posting that about the Chinese horoscope. Most informative and entertaining.

We don’t have to worry about our year coming up yet. You in 2012 and me in 2013... They’ll be interesting years, I’m sure.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

techinically this is not horoscope...it's Zodiac, or am I wrong??? well, it doesn't matter Mo Cara. ^^

Btw, do you honour your protector also like Shaina?? *LOL*

[muinteor.livejournal.com]

Of course I do. Forever and beyond, remember?

I'm a horse, but just in name, I think.

And a Taurean Horse... me, common sense? practicality? Sure!!!!
