There's a First Time for Everything...

For those, who don't know me well...(which possibly might not be the case currently as our readers are probably my gaming buddies)...I am really a niche market. When I say niche, I mean a totally expanding market, but still not as major as one hopes to be like the Celebrities, Models, Playmates (aka Bunny Girls!), Singers, Cosplay Girls (by the way surprisingly a HUGE market not just in Japan but USA, Europe and of couse any other Asian countries), or the Rich & Famous.

I am part of the expanding market of Geeky Girls, yes that's right I said it!

I am a GEEK.

Don't ever mistake me for a nerd because (despite my shortness and tiny nature) I do have a black belt in Karate and will have no problems kicking you A**! -Please note some parts of this may get REALLY technical and REALLY boring for some, because well it contains lots of gaming lingo, and totally my love for gaming.

I am part of the massively expanding Online Community aka MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Although I can safely say my character and I are "retired" at this point, but I am still actively associated with the part of the world which plays World of Warcraft aka WoW. The WoW community is pretty huge worldwide, and I must admit I started playing a while back in my college days (which by the way seems like a decade ago...). It even had a spot in Southpark in the episode 'Make Love, Not Warcract', the 4 kids played it and the episode consisted of them acting out the extremes of gamers...although the habits were some what accurate it is kind of hilarious to the normal viewers.

I have managed to play as a full-time employee in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and back in Tokyo again. I use to play with some of the best ranked people in the Oceanic Server and I am still very much good friends with the Guildmaster of Not Steamboat (the top tanked Guild in Thaurissan and the Oceanic Region! -Hey Sanctus you have now made my blog). By the way, for those aspiring Priest Players (like I once was, and well now I just am a casual player who happens to have a pretty well geared Priest), he is one of the best Priests and well if you ever need a Hero he is your man. SANCTUS YOU ARE MY HERO! Just make sure to let me still be your lacky once you have too many fan mails in your mailbox.

*my character would look something like this! If I play and put more time into it...currently

I hate to be a snob, but in the gaming world much like the real world there are elites and the normal players, I was lucky enough to be part of the Elites. It does have its perks. I had access to some of the best players and the best Raids...do I miss it? Hell Yeah! Will I ever go back? Perhaps...but not yet. I think I am OK with the real world, to not sink back fully into the virtual again. I'll leave my rantings and thought son gaming until the next time, because well if you got me seriously started on the whole gaming issue I won't stop for a while...GAME ON PEOPLE!

*ENDING GAMING RANT HERE*

So I have agreed to go to a DJ event tomorrow evening with KY @ Zepp Tokyo. Again for those who know me, you are probably wondering "WTF YOU @ A DJ EVENT??!" And your thoughts, exactly, is partly the reason why I am am writing this selection. I have been enlisted to go to 2manydjs VS Vitalic. Again I have no idea what they play or what is going down, but I think with no expectations of previous events it is safe to say I will either ENJOY IT IMMENSELY or just simple Stand there awkwardly trying to look like I am dance (because well Tiny Asian Girls Cannot Dance when they have 2 left feet!!). I just kind of imagine it to be a Rave minus the Drugs, Glow Sticks, Teenagers (highly doubt that teenagers cna afford this event as it will be cositng more than $16.00), Shady White Person selling drugs, and maybe more abundance in Liquor (with less shady beer kegs). Oh and the whole concept of having a roof over the event as it is at a respectable location is another difference too (>_<)b *aw yeah* There is a first time for everything, and I might as well do it in the comfort, luxury and safety of Japan with my good friend KY than in a remote location in the middle of no where (like an abandoned warehouse) surrounded by sketchy individuals with cop cars incoming any minute!!

Surprisingly 2manydjs played in Summer Sonic 2009, which is a packed event in the middle of no where in Japan...so I guess they do play songs that also cater to the rock crowds?! It is my shallow understanding that Summer Sonic is a Rock heavy event (correct me if I am wrong).

Again looking at the description (in Japanese) I am not so sure what they actually do in terms of Music. Like I said before, my friends know this is TOTALLY not my scene. I am more on the other side of the spectrum listening to Punk, Rock, Heavy Metal, and anything and everything with a good guitar/bass/drums/etc. Which as one clearly sees is not the case here. I will be pretty much the ODD ONE OUT. If you see a tiny girl on the floor desperately trying not to suffocate in the sea of people, that will be me. I can sort of imagine myself trying not to be eye level of the armpits of the deodorant lacking people around me. Come to think of it...I guess I can just totally bust out my JERSEY ELBOWS (Deb knows what I'm talking about) and make some space.

For those curious souls, Jersey Elbowing is when you (most often in a Punk Event surrounded by 16 year old chunks) shove the surrounding human beings with a knock from your forced elbow in all directions. Basically a grand way to knock someone out at the Mosh Pit level. The reason I refer to it as Jersey Elbows than other areas, is due to the face Deb was from NJ and I she used it so often with me at Punk events in NOLA that I become accustomed to it's name. By the way I am an excellent person in Mosh Pits.

TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!

I will be trekking to the corner of Tokyo to see a Belgian DJ spin with other DJ's from France (equally random, and why is he here?) and Japan areas. This should be interesting. I must admit though the names of the DJ's are somewhat as random as the handles for online Forums, in game names, and some Punk Bands. I guess I can just soak in my first Tokyo DJ event and hopefully come out with out an arrest record and my dignity intact?!

By the way...I am however kind of intrigued at Punk Spring 2010! This is more my scene, and well would be interesting to see 311 and New Found Glory *lawl* Maybe I can drag some of my friends or even guilt trip KY into going with me? Either or, I am totally digging out my PUNK outfits from back in the day (sadly I have not grown since I was 16 and still can fit into anything from 16 onwards) and go to the DJ event.

Stay tuned for my First (hopefully well not the last of my) DJ experience...
