What got you into cosplay?
I was trying to find something to make myself more nerdy, so why not dress up like a favorite character? I also saw lots of people at con with huge weapons... and I really wanted one w/o having to buy them so why not do it yourself?
What was your first costume and why?
Kakashi/random jonin for Fanimecon04 cuz naruto was new (relatively) and I really liked the fact that the pieces were easily available and I didn't have to sew anything.(almost)
What is your favorite costume and why?
My AC cloud for AX06. *mostly because it's the second costume I've made*
It's got all the parts that make cosplay great: huge props, tight clothes that make girls sigh, and popularity so ppl will take pictures! ^_~
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Full sized mobile suit gundam which can pick up the whole convention center and shake out all the good dvds and manga so I won't have to wait in line to get into the dealer's room. EVER.
In planning, waiting for my evolution into a newtype.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Meeting my Tifa-chan ^_^<3 at Fanimecon, then at AOD.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Winning the grand prize 'Iron Cosplay' team at Animation Overdose San Francisco with my two awesome teammates LauraC and Ashley. We built a *nearly-perfectly-ghetto-fabulous* costume of Pure White of Pretty Cure in two hours for the competition.
I hope my Cloud's Apocalypse sword can win me some prizes. I just dunno how to get into contests w/o having to go up on stage @__@ I've got stage fright
Tell us a little about yourself
Um, I have a BS degree in Physics and Japanese ^^;; Hire me?
My current job is playing vdo games all day at Namco-Bandai doing Quality Assurance. I.E. I play ps3 all day and get paid for it.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?

My favorite anime
Gatekeepers is my favorite anime of all time... though no one bought it so no one knows what it is anymore *sniffle*

Oh yeah, Bubblegum Crisis too. I want a powersuit like that! Gotta love 80's ovas. They don't make em like that anymore.
My favorite game(s)
SOULCALIBUR~! (any version, any character) I will guard-impact your butt!
My favorite book(s)
Manga: Battle Angel Alita; Yukito Kishiro
Novel: 1984; George Orwell
My favorite character(s)
Tifa! She's so kind, loving, and supportive to Cloud, but he never sees it. Orihime's the same way for Ichigo...Yurika from Nadesico.. there's too many of them... For some reason I'm all for those tragic love kinda characters.
