Otaku Take Over!

This week is the Otaku Take Over at Teen Central, and I'm having a blast running around with teenagers and acting my (internal geekboy) age.

There are free books for giveway (including one of the Beka Cooper series, from my favorite crossdressing-knights-are-love author Tamora Pierce), video games, anime, Sailor Moon, and some of the most badass teens you'll ever met.

Yesterday was an awesometastic mashup of the Gay Straight Alliance and the Anime Club, where we watched Sailor Moon and talked about how Haruka was really, really hot. I learned a tonnage of new stuff (yaoi apparently translates to "without a point," a reference to the fact that it originally started out as gratuitous porn; yuri means "flower" because as it was so aptly explained "Because flowers look like vaginas!").

Today was gaming day. Here I am challenging Miss Beth at Naruto, while our helpful teacher announces our Ultimate Showdown.

IN THIS CORNAH, HAILING FROM WAY THE HELL UP THE ISLAND, IN THE FUZZY EARS AND BROWN REARS, CLAIR THE MURDERBRARIAN!

AND IN THIS CORNAH, HAILING FROM JACKSON HEIGHTS, BLOND AND BEAUTIFUL AND BAD ASS, MISS BETH THE INTERN-AL BLEEDER!

Beth whooped me. Solidly. And fun was had by all.

Tomorrow is Misako Rocks! and fun with Cosplay and drawing. If you're NY Based and age-range appropriate, come on down to Teen Central at the Grand Central Branch of the NYPL. It's so awesome.
