I never get sick of tea. Even if I had to drink just one variety of tea my whole life (e.g. if you restricted me to just drinking Earl Grey forever) I still wouldn't get sick of it. I can seriously drink 10+ cups of it per day if I let myself do that, but I try not to because of the diuretic effects, lol.

I...I...

I will perfect it! I promise!

Me too! And sago/tapioca too. This is probably why I love sai mai lo so freaking much.

I like many foods that other people consider gross, like stinky tofu, dinuguan, natto, haggis...

I think mum was 28 when she had me.

Ok, for those who are going, I'll be:

1st day: Rakshata Chawla
2nd day: Villetta Nu
3rd day: Michiko Malandro (just look for the girl with the L.B.D.D. tattoo on the stomach)

Dunno if I'll be cosplaying the 4th day...if I find a rainbow flag I may go as Nyan Cat, or if I decide not to be lazy I'll do Kumashiro Maya. If I get lazy I'll just be wearing a Mega Milk shirt, or something.

Long walk to the end. My body is broken beyond recognition, due to losing some important organs and my teeth, but my spirit shall help restore the balance; balance that is beyond human capabilities imaginable. Now, after all that, it seems that my way has been broken. Someone is trying to prevent one of the many legendary Lamias from reaching the area. This situation is so vulgar because someone stole all my ponies. How does it feel? Very bad.

Later, when everyone came to Moscow that night, someone told me a story that was not pleasant because I couldn't digest most of the fried story. Suddenly, flying across the fields, dragons came with rainbows! What had happened? Then six rabid wolves came from the person with nine orbs made of unicorn's feathers. This encounter was nothing, one, two, or three, could understand. Still, that encounter was most likely be very unreal. Lesbians, homos, niggers, and mostly people who sucked so much jellybeans that they gained homosexually, thus cybering with others and creating the ultimate land.

However it wasn't going as planned, Sgt. Faggotpants had decided to die. Somehow, eventually the feminists managed to jizz on Hitler. While the Communists were planning to bake some machine which could burn fire without activating the bomb. But then, espers appeared. Codfishes and me going towards crevices beyond the indefatigable realm of lugubriousness. Hoes then

Nah.

They'll be at LACC 408.

Auditions are on day 1 10am-1:30pm, and the finals are on day 3 at the Nokia Theatre at 12:30pm. If I make it to the finals I'll be sure to post it here, but if I don't then I'll probably be in the audience somewhere, so say hi if you see me.

@Kingpin: looking good! Congrats on the weight lost! Unless you were actually trying to gain weight... XD

@Greggrey: ouch...is that a seatbelt scar? Hope it heals soon.

If I get into the finals (big IF) y'all better watch and cheer. And bully all your friends into watching and cheering loudly as well. XD

I'm honestly leaning toward Koi wa Sensou more as well, but HOTD is more current and popular and might be a better hit with the crowd? IDK. But then again there's the Hatsune Miku concert so that will be on people's minds as well.

@Kanng: yeah, my throat was dry, but like I said, I was singing at like, 2am-3:30am-ish. Not the best time for a voice, really, and I didn't use a pop-shield to compensate. The honey trick does work--I usually just drink hot lemonade or tea flavoured with lots of honey and that also warms up and stretches my vocal chords. And as for the instrumental parts, there's no live band, which sucks, because I am used to interactions on stage. For this contest it's just me on the stage and although I do move around when singing, I'm just a bit worried that I run out of ideas of what to do for a suuuuuper long solo.

Since this is sorta related, here:

Me singing a bunch of songs. Go listen and please vote/comment. And yes, I am spamming this a bit, coz the sooner I choose a song, the sooner I can concentrate on practice.

(I wasn't sure which subforum to put this under, so mods, if you think this is better in Music, Random, or IB, just move as you wish)

Sooo...I got talked into signing up for this year's AX Idol competition, and I NEED HALP OMGWTFBBQ WHAT WAS I THINKING ASDFGHJKLQIUKJFGN.

Ok, sorry. I'm calm now.

I have a couple of songs I'm choosing from, and I want you guys to vote on which one I should sing for this contest. Try to base your choice on the following criteria:

1) How well it fits my vocal range and voice type. Does the song make me sound good, or is it in a weird part of my vocal range and therefore comes out strangled and horrible?

2) Crowd appeal. if I sing this song in front of a group of hundreds of people, will they appreciate it? Will they get bored? Will it make them want to cheer, or boo?

3) Difficulty. Obviously, since this is a song competition, the more difficult the song is, the better.

4) How long the breaks/instrumental sections in the song are. This is so I don't have to stand on the stage looking like a dork while a super long instrumental is playing. Shorter is better, but I suppose even if the instrumentals are long, I'll figure something out.

Don't base your song choice on how well I sang the song in the recording (e.g. how in tune I am, how many mistakes I made in the lyrics, etc.). I know I didn't do a perfect job because fuck, it's 3:20am and I've been singing for about an hour and a half already. Some of the songs were sung later, and of course they would sound a bit worse because my vocal chords are already tired. I think y'all can tell by listening to the songs which ones I did first and which ones I did later, lol. Plus all I did to mix and edit the songs was slap on a little bit of reverb just to get my voice to carry over the background music, so there will be times where the volume is weird or there are clipped tones and crackly shit. I apologize for those, but just try to ignore the errors and weirdness as much as possible because I will practice and perfect the songs eventually.

You can just pick from the poll, but it would really also be helpful if you could also say in the comments why you picked the particular song, and give any comments on how I can better sing these songs.

Here are the songs:

Hatsune Miku - Koi wa Sensou (composed by Ryo)
Hatsune Miku - Scissorhands (composed by Nem)
Kisida Kyodan & The Akeboshi Rockets - High School of the Dead (HOTD Opening)
Kuhciki Rukia - Wind (Bleach character song)
Tane Tomoko - Broken Wings (Trinity Blood Ending)

Sorry for assaulting your ears with badly sung/mixed songs ^^;. But thanks in advance to whomever listens and votes/comments!

I wear those for tennis...or I used to anyway, when I played tennis. Now I just use it for general exercising, except running, since I have specific running shoes.

I've never been afraid of public speaking.

There is literally a "fat gene"--a certain variant of a gene called FTO predisposes you to obesity. But really, "fat genes" in general are a combination of a whole bunch of genetic factors that can predispose you to gaining weight. Base metabolism, body type, insulin sensitivity--all of these are examples of genetic factors that can affect whether you get fat easily or not.

Here's the deal...if you don't have fat genes, it will really be difficult for you to get fat. If you have fat genes, you have to work twice as hard to stay skinny, and sometimes it won't even work.

I'm usually about 115-120lbs when I do things in moderation. At my fattest I was 127--this is with sitting on my ass all day and not eating healthily. That period of time was about a year ago. Teh bf, who had pretty much the same diet and levels of exercise that I had at the time, went from 150 to almost 200, and is still struggling a bit to get his weight back down. He's only down to 175-180 now, and he's stricter about dieting and exercise than I am, whereas I lost that weight almost immediately after we went back to a healthier diet, even without exercise.

I am ashamed to admit that I've never poached an egg either. I know theoretically how to do it, but I'm never in the mood for poached eggs, since I don't like runny yolks at all. I should really try it out sometime though...
