Sorry guys I'm working 60 hours a week and it's hard to keep up.  And I also wanted to see if we would get any more votes.

Please judge! 
We are serious when we say no judges = no Yoricon.  We can't have a Yoricon without the community involvement.

It works like this: You'll tell us what you think were the three best dubs this month from the 16 dubs (sometimes 20) in order.  From those votes a top 5 monthly will be made. 

Judges: Acchan, Hanii, Suki, Will

TIPS:
- Don't stress out about it too much. One of the worst things you can do in dubbing is get all neurotic about something. Pick your three dubs and don't spend too long on it- you'll just get a headache!
- If you're uncomfortable letting people see your results for some reason (IE: Don't want to offend a friend, don't want anyone to know your top dubs are the ones you were involved) PLEASE use the private form! We want COMPLETE HONESTY! And if anyone is bullying people about the Yoricon, let us know about that too.

*If you would like to vote privately please PM me.

Yay!  I honestly didn't think I would get a part thanks so much! 
As for the B-side anything is cool with me!  I used to be in a permanent Morming Musume group and then it died but I really really miss covering their stuff (because I've pretty much been in everything except their recent stuff).  I'd be SO happy with that if we do it.  More MM in my life is always amazing.

Will get in lines asap~ 

Nami Tamaki is probably my favorite if you are looking for something you can perform (sing and dance).  All of her songs already have at least some kind of dance.  MY WAY, Heart and Soul, and Shining Star are probably some of my favorites.  I think she has live performances on YouTube of all three (or she used to) and those should help you with dances.

There are a ton of solo artists that I enjoy so tell me if you'd like to hear some more!  But Nami Tamaki is one of the only ones who puts a lot of stuff into her choreography and it's still somewhat simple (unlike BoA, who just has some really difficult choreography in her songs and they are super hard to sing).

Edit - btw, the choreography for Heart and Soul in the music video is kind of difficult so I'd look at some of the lives for that one if you are interested in that one. 

My home is 50 miles from here.  Not too bad, but not a drive you want to do every day.  My friend commuted that distance in the Summer for awhile and she did not have fun waking up at four every morning for a full day of classes and work.  That would be good having someone 5 miles away in the winter.  I hate driving in the snow so much, it get's bad quite a lot!

And that makes sense.  I started with a fresh start, no credits.  So the full load every semester then.  I took an AP class in High School but I'm such a horrible test taker that there was no use in trying.  It helped me prepare for college though so it was worth it. 

I really want to!  I've managed trips every year since I started college and I've been to so many states in the past few years.  But going abroad would be fun and a great experience to have.  We have classes where you take the class about where you are going and then you go there either Spring break, Summer, Winter Term, etc.  I really want to take one that last semester because the chances of me getting on a plane and flying to a different country any other time in my life without previous experience in it are slim. 

My dad is just worried about it though.  Get on a plane by myself to go to New York and meet Rina (which to him is just some girl I met on the internet he doesn't know) and hang out for the weekend; "I guess."  Get on a plane with my classmates and a professor to a foreign country for a week and a half; "Uhh... we will see."  My dad makes so much sense LOL

See next semester I have no classes Monday or Friday, I don't start until noon on Tuesday and Thursday, and I don't have class until 6PM on Wednesdays.  I have it really easy now when it comes to time (I need to fit work in there but it's financial aid so it's only like 9 hours a week).  I have not had too many lucky semesters like next semester, though. 

I'm kind of worried for when I get on the job and I have to wake up early and work more hours than I'm in class for now.  But I'm SO ready to be done.  I can't deal with the same stuff for too long, and I've never been able to.  I just need a change from this.
