1. Why do you call yourself, Claudine Roselle Puente, instead of just Claudine Puente? Good
question. I hate, hate, HATE my first name... once I found out what it
means. I felt as though as I've been cursed or something. I love
my middle name; I wish I was named Roselle, instead of Claudine. Well, because
I was known as Claudine throughout my whole life, it's kind of hard to change
something that's been with me for so long. Who knows? My opinion
on this might change later on. Back in 1997,
I used to be known as The Chameleon. And my e-mail address prefix was
crpchameleon. I never thought anyone would hack into my e-mail
address. I was wrong. Someone actually did and started trouble
among many people in the Yahoo! Chat rooms. When I tried to check my
e-mail, I couldn't get in. Someone changed my password. Well... I
hope he/ she is reading this because if I ever do find out who this person
is, I will hunt him/ her down with everything I've got. Well, with the
exception of McDonald's, In-N-Out, Carl's Jr, and Taco Bell, or as some
people would like to refer to it as Taco Hell. This goes back to my
first time in Colorado (Nan Desu Kan Convention last year). I used to
go nuts over a Wendy's burger where I live, but when I was in Colorado, I
didn't want to look at it or touch it. This is just one of the
reasons. The other is, when I went to Burger King and ordered a Whopper
w/ Cheese, I found a sow bug (a.k.a.: potato bug or roly poly) in it.
*yech!* Sow bugs are harmless, but let's just say that it's something I
don't want to see in my meal. Despite that I like Taco Bell, I'm now
taking precautions. Hey, I was lucky to catch that sow bug in my burger
and that it was just that particular insect. It could've been
worse. It could've been a spider, or a bee, or even... *yech!* ... a
cockroach. Courier,
Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Verdana are so common. I thought
Century Gothic would be a little more original. Okay, so it's wider,
but, hey, admit it. It's much easier to read, isn't it? 7.
One time you said you are a Latina, and then another time you said you were
Spanish? Which one are you? *laughs* Allow me to break it down. Okay, on my dad’s side, his mom was French, but his dad
was Spanish, which explains why my last name is “Puente”. On my mom’s side, both she and her
parents are Salvadoran (Central America); that’s where the Latina side comes
from. Now, do you understand? But you know, now that I think about
it, I think I should just label myself as a “Hispanic”. Rumors About Me 1. I heard that you quit So Desu Ne Cosplay because you weren’t involved in their Best In Show performance back at Ohayocon 2003. Excuse me?! Is that what you think of me as? A cosplayer who thinks that winning is more
important?! That’s foolish. I quit because it was clear to me
during the end of 2002 that no one wanted me as their leader. Not to mention that the members
thought it was okay to use the group’s name for a performance at a con
without my consent. Had
something bad happened (let’s say, someone got hurt or if they ran into
problems with the staff), the finger gets pointed at me because I’m the
leader of the group, and that shows bad leadership. Sure, I could’ve told them never to do it again, but if
they did it once, chances are, they’ll do it again. 2. You lost a lot of friends because you were impossible to hang out with. I’m sure that’s what a lot of people think,
but from my perspective, I don’t think that’s true. I will admit that I do kind of act like a motherly figure
when it comes to gatherings, or I come off as cross. Hey, hanging out is one thing, but
being cautious is another. I’ve
had friends in the past, who would do stupid things. For example, one time I almost got
into a sedan with 10 people – two in the trunk and 4 without seatbelts. Sorry, but I refuse to get into a car
without a seatbelt, or be a witness to what could’ve been a fatal car
accident. No accidents happened,
thank goodness, but these days you never know. Another time was when this one girl that I roomed in with
at AX was so inconsiderate. She
is one of the most immature people I have met in my life, and I can only hope
that she grows up because eventually someone isn’t going to give her any
mercy. 3. Your fiancé encouraged you to break away from So Desu Ne Cosplay. Although it’s true that I met my fiancé
within the same time frame I resigned from So Desu Ne Cosplay, I left the
group days before he and I ever had a conversation. Besides, why I should I ever have anyone talk me out of
something I enjoy? Don’t you
think I have a mind of my own? 4. You were originally cast for Sailor Jamboree, but you turned the membership down. I’ll admit that I wanted to audition for the
group, but their website clearly stated that they were no longer casting any
more people. To answer the
rumor, let me put it to you this way.
If I were cast for Sailor Jamboree, a group that contained outstanding
choreography, why in the hell would I turn that down to join another
cosplaying group and start from scratch? 5. You didn’t design this website by yourself. You had someone do this for you. Nope.
These are my designs and my coding. No plagiarism here.
Also, if someone did this for me, don’t you think they would’ve used a
much better software program other than Claris Home Page? Most people these days use
Dreamweaver or Flash; I don’t. 6. I met Ray at PMX, and he said that you’ve tried to get him banned from a couple of cons based solely on you not liking him. No, this is a misconception. Although, Ray and I have our
differences, I never once suggested, nor hinted banishment towards him
at any convention. The
only thing I ever expressed was anger from a post that was taken from the
Senshi Mysterious Private Yahoo! Clubs, and posted publicly on the Ani-Magic
message board by him. Later on,
I found out that it was someone else who took the message from our board,
passed the info to Ray, and then he posted it – the telephone method,
if you will. To make a long
story short, no, I never had him banned from any convention just because I
didn’t like him. If I really
felt that way, I could’ve done that to a lot of people that I despise. God knows, I have quite a few people
who have stepped on my toes. *laughs* If anyone out there knows any more rumors about me (doesn’t necessarily have to be incriminating ones), please send them to me. |
