1. I just started college recently. Shocking, I know, right? A lot of people I know on dA are talking about going to college though, sooo... I guess I'm not very special in that sense. What? But I like being special. Noooo~! I'm not going to college, so there!

2. I recently discovered that I have a passion for cooking. Like, I haven't been this obsessed with something since I first started watching FMA and carried around a binder of screenshots. Hm, a binder of pictures of food, now there's an idea... *shakes head* No! I must not wander down that path of fangirlism ever again!

3. I need to buy shortening and brown sugar. Why do I feel like including this? To remind myself so that I will be able to bake the chocolate chip cookies my older brother wants so badly. See number 2. This obsession is a little... well, obsessive.

4. According to my friends, I look just like Trisha Elric when I take off my glasses. I guess I kinda see it, but I wouldn't consider it as perfect a match as they do, I suppose. Big Bro says that I have Ed's nose, which he says Ed inherited from Trisha. I don't know if I see it...

5. My style is bohemian(or gypsy)/hippie/punk. And I'm currently trying to find a way to make all those styles mesh. It's a little difficult, but maybe if I were to find some brightly skirts, and bright fake highlights for my hair, I could work something out...

6. I absolutely love grocery shopping. Again, see number 2. I'm a little dangerous on this cooking thing. My friend say that my wielding a wooden spoon and dancing around the kitchen only add to the supposed Trisha look. I see the resemblance with that much more easily than with physical appearances.

7.My friend's cat is going to have kittens any day now. And I really want to keep one of the little guys. But they don't allow pets in my dorm, so I'd have to find a place for him to stay until I'd have someplace of my own where he could live. (Maybe next year I won't live in the dorms?) I'm tempted to name the guy Edward if I manage to get him, but it sounds a little too crazy too my own ears to name your cat after what is very obviously your favorite anime character. I have FMA manga, posters, and a calendar all over my dorm already. It'd look a little... stalkerish, I think.

8. I think I want to open a bakery once I'm out of school. But maybe that's just the obsession talking right now. We'll see where it ends up going. Right now it sounds A-MAZ-ING.



I'm really obsessed with cooking at the moment. But it's also so much fun! Every day I'm looking forward to the new foods I can create for myself and eat. I kinda feel like Remy in Ratatouille. "Now think of all the different possible foods in the world being combined into new and amazing combinations, and all the endless possibilities!"

Yeeeeeah. But this was fun. We should do it again sometime.


So... oh, wait, now I have to tag people? O_o Oho, the power I hold now! But, wait, I don't know who to tag...! Okaaaay, um...



And for the heck of it, and because I... ]]> *AdventureAddict http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/25159819/ http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/25159819/ Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:51:28 PDT

So… yesterday was Halloween. I went as Edward Elric ((big surprise)). And the whole experience taught me a lot.

Right after I unpack my bags and start heading to class, this dude I don’t even know comes up to me, grabs my shoulders, and says “You dressed as the Fullmetal Alchemist! You’re my hero!” and then ran off.



And that was only the beginning. I had said I would act as much like Ed as I could for the entire day, and of course, the inevitable happened.

This little freshman girl—who was two heads shorter than me, mind you—walked up to me, giggled, and told me I was short. Now, of course, saying I would act like Ed meant that I had to scream and rant and rave at the girl. Which only made her fall over laughing.

Now, let’s get this straight. I am 5’ 6” and most of my friends are SHORTER than me. I. Am. Not. Short.

I had people I didn’t even KNOW come up to me and tell me I was short, tiny, microscopic, you name it. And most of the time these people were shorter than me. I can see why Ed gets so ticked off at people calling him short. I’m not even a very blow-up sort of person, but by the end of the day, I was actually ranting at anyone who called me short. Not acting. Which made them laugh harder. Which made me want to bite their heads off. After hearing the insult of “you’re short” from about twenty different people (never mind the people who said it multiple times) through one school day, you don’t really want to hear it again.

And poor Ed deals with this sort of thing ALL the time in the manga/anime. Not just ONE day.

No more short jokes for me, I’m done with that.

Now, with all that short ranting, I had built a bit of a reputation for myself. Not to mention that even in a group of costumed kids I stuck out. People I didn’t know would wave at me in the halls and go “Hi, Ed!” “Edward, over here!” And if they weren’t saying it aloud, I could hear them whispering it. Everywhere I went I could hear people whispering Fullmetal this or Fullmetal that. It was like being a celebrity. I’ve never had people talking about me so much when I’ve worn any other costume.

Not to mention the milk at lunch, and the fact that I learned to always eat food with a fork when you have gloves on, or take the gloves off.

Oh yes, and there was the fact that I learned what it’s like for a guy to hug a girl. I actually managed to get my chest flat for trick or treating, which was awesome. And it’s already pretty weird to feel flat after years of… well, NOT being flat. I didn’t realize how heavy it is until I went to not really having anything. And then, when all was said and done, the girl who hosted the party hugged me goodbye. Man, was that unnerving.

I never realized that when guys say they can feel EVERYTHING when they hug a girl, they really can. It all just smashes up against you, unlike when there’s two sets of curves. It’s like you have this big glob of padding mashing up against another big glob of padding. But when one of those globs of padding is gone… I will never hug a guy the same way again.

All in all, the day was a very… enlightening experience. I always knew Ed had it tough, but I never realized just HOW tough. I wasn’t even dealing with the guilt of turning my brother into a walking suit of armor. It was an exhausting day.

And I didn’t even do any alchemy.

This week at my church was our annual rummage sale. So now I’m going to sit here and yap about all the awesome and not so awesome stuff I brought home from that.

And first on this list is my very own, honest to goodness, REAL pocket watch!

Nerd.

Anyhow, I went to the sale and lo and behold, there it was sitting with two other pocket watches. I think this would be the first time I’ve actually seen some honest to goodness real pocket watches, or maybe just the first year I’ve cared. So being the nerd I am, when I saw the silver pocket watch sitting there for two bucks, I spazzed out--inside my head, or the church ladies would have thought me nuts—and then of course bought the thing.

And here’s the kicker. This is a genuine watch from the military. Not the Amestrian State Alchemist variety, no, but flip it open and it has the words “United States Marine Corps” printed in there along with their insignia thingy.

I’ve got a REAL military pocket watch! For two bucks! Take that, all you rabid fangirls out there!

And I got a very Ed-ish looking belt for half the price of the watch, but that’s a whole ‘nother matter.

So of course I went home and had to try clipping the thing to my pants and playing around with it. I slid the thing into my pocket that ONE time, and after that, my pocket suddenly felt empty and bare if that watch wasn’t in it. So I’ve started wearing the silly thing everywhere, because otherwise I keep slapping my hand to my thigh and wondering where my watch disappeared to until I realize I didn’t snap it on that morning.

And then after trying it on, I decided to take it apart. The thing’s currently frozen on three o’clock, and I’d prefer to have it actually tell time. So first, I had to find out where the thing hides its stupid battery. So I finally manage to find how to open up the back, and then there’s this itty bitty mechanism in there. It’s so teeny and shiny, and has so many little screws just begging to be unscrewed… But I resist, because I don’t think I’d know where to put all those teeny screws back in.

So I found the battery, and now I’m going to keep playing with the thing so I can hopefully find out how to move the hands, since I’d rather not wait until two minutes and 46 seconds past three o’clock to put the battery in at just the right time. Plus it’s fun to take it apart.

I’ve also had friends tell me one of two things. Either A) I should totally carve into the lid of the thing, or B) If I carve into the lid of it they’ll probably strangle me. But lid’s so shiny and it already has this pretty design… so I don’t think I will. Though I might carve into the back of the opening to the mechanism. Less people see that, and it has no pretty designs as well, just plain metal. And even if I do carve into my watch, it probably won’t be about October third anyway.

So that was my best buy from the sale. Another thing I was really proud of was that I bought The Little Mermaid soundtrack for my friend ~Reincarnated-Al which I sure hope she doesn’t own already, but if she does, I figure then I get to keep it.

And yeah, that’s my oh-so clever way of asking you if you already own it Al, lol.

So I listened through it when I brought it home just because I got the thing used and I wanted to make sure the whole thing ran properly. Now, maybe this is just because I went through a let’s-read-all-of-Chobits stage just recently, but something about Ariel’s voice reminds me of how I would imagine Chi’s voice to sound. Now I want to watch Little Mermaid again just to see how she sounds when she’s talking normally rather than singing. Too bad we don’t own it.

So… I got a pocket watch, The Little Mermaid soundtrack, an Ed-ish sort of belt, my own Dungeons and Dragons manual, (for one dolla, yeah!) and the entire Lord of the R... ]]> *AdventureAddict http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/19523858/ http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/19523858/ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:15:47 PDT

Q: Does anything hurt right now?
As soon as I read that, my left elbow started aching. Stupid survey-thingy.

Um… I sleep during the night. Had a crazy dream about Edward Elric handing out uni... ]]> *AdventureAddict http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/18654096/ http://AdventureAddict.deviantart.com/journal/18654096/ Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:35:54 PDT
Okay, as if people who don't already know immensely care about what's going on in my life... Lots of things have changed, heh.

For starters, I got a boyfriend waaaay back in... February. After Valentine's Day, if anyone wants to know, but it was nice all the same. He spoils me way too much sometimes. He'll hate me saying this, but he's absolutely adorable. I can always tell if he's leaning more towards the perv side of the spectrum because whenever he does, he turns beet red and starts banging his head against the nearest surface, like he's Dobby or something.

And just now he was trying so hard to stay up just so he could spend more time with me, even though he was obviously exhausted and practically collapsing with his sleepiness.

And sheesh is he a good kisser...





Aaaanywhooo...

Other stuff that's been happening... Well, school just let out a few days ago, so I guess that officially makes me a senior now.

I can't believe I'll actually be considered to officially be an adult in October. It's hard to believe. Time really does fly. I feel like I was in middle school such a short time ago.


Well, okay, it was a short time, but... an adult? Out of high school? Holeee smokes.


Anywho, I'm going to stop there, since a certain blond boy I love has woken up from his naptime. I need to convince him that he really needs his sleep, since he doesn't seem to understand that concept on his own.


...

Okay, neither do I, considering the time, but he's obviously more tired than me. Off I go, seeya people later.

Anywho, I realized that I haven't updated about half my fanfics since, like... Cristmas. That's not so good. I'm almost afraid that once I do manage to post again, all my readers will start ranting about how I didn't post for... forever.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to let it go for so long, really!

But now the problem is, now that I know I've got all these fanfics to update, I've got to actually update them... And choosing which one to update is like choosing between my children...

Ah well, Robyn's the first born, so she gets to set the good example!

And... um... yeah. The Constant Star Wars music in the background is rather annoying. The lil' bros just can't stop playing that, day in and day out...

And today in Orchestra, we found out that we apparently had a playing quiz... Nobody had really studied, other than the first chair violin... So because we all stank so much, Lsquared gave us an extension to tomorrow. And since I completly forgot about the quiz over the weekend AND forgot to even bring home Roy (my viola) ...Yeah, I gotta practice...

And I've gotta write out a 200 word assignment for Deutsch (German ) Class. Because I also forgot to do that over the weekend... 200 word in ENGLISH in one night would be a piece of cake for me but in German... It's like small pieces of my soul are slowly dying. At least I don't have to take German next year!

Yeah, we got the information on classes for next year today. Pretty much all I need to graduate is English IV (which is only half a year, w00t), an English elective, Consumer Ed, and "Lifetime Fitness," aka gym. But at least Driver's Ed isn't required to graduate anymore!

And I should probably take a Social Studies elective for college. I'm just hoping my parents don't make me take Physics and Calculus... Trading German for those two classes... Not really an Equivalent Exchange, if you ask me...

But for the English elective, I obviously want to do Creative Writing, which I can tell I would just love. But do I sound like a nerd if I say I'm interested in an elective called "Structure of English Language"? It's pretty much a half-year long course on grammar and usage. It sounds like one of those classes that would actually be useful, especially to someone who wants to publish a book... And really, the class even sounds like it could be fun...

I'm so weird.

Anyway, I should probably go practice for that Orchestra test now, sigh...

And on top of that, I won a Fullmetal Alchemist figurine on Ebay a while ago, and it still hasn't come in the mail. I wanted it to come before school started again, but considering that it's Sunday, so therefore no mail sevice, I think that it's very unlikely I'll be getting it today.

And while I'm sitting at the computer doing nothing, I'm not even doing a nothing that's somewhat productive, loke, oh, working on fanfics I need to post for. I wrote two paragraphs for A New Beginning and then stopped. It's just not my day.

At least once finals are over I don't have to go to school early anymore. Woohoo. I'm being positive.

I hate finals so much.

Signing off so I can hopefully do some REAL work,
