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 need two more people,

Because I awesome *coughcrazycough* like this, I'm putting up another quiz thing I saw that looked like fun.

Eh. I should be working on NaNoWriMo, buuut... I also need to get this down while it’s still fresh.

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.
