You know, I've discovered something today. I've discovered that sometimes, when you're least expecting it but most needing it, a good day comes along and slaps you across the face. You hold your cheek in stunned silence after that and the good day just glares at you. And then it speaks. It says, and I quote, "What the hell do you have to be upset about? You're life is great, you silly tosser. Get over yourself and have a good time and maybe, JUST MAYBE, I'll think about visiting again. Sound good, idiot?" At that point, all you can do is nod in dumb agreement and the good day turns away, shaking its head, mutters "Weird bleeder" under its breath and gestures for you to follow. It's an interesting experience. I've never met quite such a forceful good day. I think I shall have to give it a ring sometime.

A perfect summer vacation, hm? I'd say there are a few criteria a summer vacation would have to met in order to be perfect. First, it must not be too hot. Second, I must be able to do whatever I want at any time - this means no job, no cleaning the house, no working of any sort unless I so desire to. And third, my friends must actually be willing to spend time with me doing something that I would enjoy instead of sitting around watching other people play video games. That would be really nice... |

Quite honestly? Controlled mutation. And I'm not talking the "second head" or "OMFG, there's a goddam tumor growing outta my forehead!" No. I'm talking the X-Men, Heroes, awesome sort of mutation. Where you can actually become superheroic. I think that would quite possibly be the most epic breakthrough I could think of. Because if they get that to work, you could get people with abilities to heal anything and you'd have people actually able to save each other in heroic ways. I dunno, I think that'd be neat. As long as you don't have to go through what Dr. Manhattan did... because that would suck balls... XD

So, I'm having a bit of a rough time again. Go ahead! Ask yourself, "When does this girl EVER have good things to talk about?" Well, the answer to that is most assuredly "NEVER" because the only time I feel inspired to write in this damn thing is when I feel like utter shite. There are various things this shite-ness stems from this time. Firstly, I keep butting heads like CRAZY with my mom. Which, I know, is not unusual for most people trying to get out on their own, trying to live their lives without their parents, but GADS is it annoying! Like... we had major snow - so we were shoveling. And I was trying to take care of some of the stuff that I knew had to be done and my mom - being the nazi she is - yelled at me because I wasn't doing the bit that SHE wanted me to do right then...! I mean, seriously! What am I supposed to do? She tells me to take initiative and do what I know needs to be done, then shits on me when I do...! >_< Next, I keep missing my boyfriend more and more. I mean, it shouldn't be this hard, should it? We've never seen each other that often. But I find myself wanting so badly to just be with him - fully and completely... And then there's the fact that my GPA has dropped below a 2.0, meaning that I'm on academic probation at school. Huzzah, I have to do REALLY WELL this semester or they kick me out of the school. Just great. Let's add a little more pressure to the load, shall we? And lastly - Christmas. It doesn't feel right. Nothing about it feels right. I'm not excited about anything that I'm usually excited about and watching everyone else get excited only makes me feel like an idiot. My mom says it's just that Christmas for me, that everyone goes through a year like this. But Jesus Christ! Is it supposed to make me want to cry EVERY NIGHT?! Buggeration, I just don't know. Every day, I find myself in spots where I'm perfectly fine, and then spots where I can't stop the tears from flowing. Gods, I just want it to be the new year now. I swear, that's all I need. As soon as this fucking year is over, I'll be fine. And if I'm not... well, I hope that doesn't happen... ~ME~

Well, it's been well over a year since I posted my first list of favorite characters, and I've read/seen a lot since then. So I figured that now - at 6 in the morning - it was time to post a new list. This time there are 30 characters instead of the ... however many I had before. I forget how many I had. Ah well. Anyway, starting with number 30 and working our way down to number one. ((Please note that - for now - I am just going to list the characters without any further explanation of why I like the characters so much. It's much too late for me to think that much. Also note that there are a few characters on this list not known to the general public, but they are fantastic all the same.)) Number 30 - Shintaro Karish (Resenting the Hero (book)) Number 29 - Kyon (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (anime)) Number 28 - Angela (Inheritance Cycle (book)) Number 27 - Edmund Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia (book)) Number 26 - Brom (Inheritance Cycle (book)) Number 25 - Fred and George Weasely (Harry Potter (book)) Number 24 - Antimony (owned by Aries Zodiac (chat/fanfic)) Number 23 - Tasslehoff Burrfoot (Dragonlance (book)) Number 22 - Roran (Inheritance Cycle (book)) Number 21 - Rock Lee (Naruto (anime)) Number 20 - Neville Longbottom (Harry Potter (book)) Number 19 - Sai (Naruto (anime)) Number 18 - Gaara (Naruto (anime)) Number 17 - Telemain (Enchanted Forest Chronicles (book)) Number 16 - Zelgadiss (Slayers (anime)) Number 15 - Sasshaia (Records of Ravien (book-unpublished)) Number 14 - Ven Polypheme (Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme (book)) Number 13 - Grunthor (Symphony of Ages (book)) Number 12 - Raistlin Majere (Dragonlance (book)) Number 11 - Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter (book)) Number 10 - Shikamaru (Naruto (anime)) Number 9 - Lionel Newton (owned by newodyssey (chat)) Number 8 - Joss (owned by Sasshaia (chat)) Number 7 - Halt (Ranger's Apprentice (book)) Number 6 - Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist (anime/manga)) Number 5 - L (Deathnote (anime/manga)) Number 4 - Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl (book)) Number 3 - Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV)) Number 2 - Achmed the Snake (Symphony of Ages (book)) Number 1 - Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings (book))

My random frustration knows no bounds. I can't even explain WHY I'm frustrated, I just am. I mean... parts of it have to do with... something involving characters. And parts of it have to do with... something involving a friend that I haven't talked to in ages... I know. Very vague. Sorry. I'd feel bad explaining further than that. Oh, I totally locked my keys inside my house and my dad had to come bring me his so I could get into my house last night. Uber-suckage for me. I felt like such a goddam idiot... -_- And omg, my kitty's being all cute and asleep right now... Wait, did I mention that my rambler is fixed...? Yes. Yes it is. Hence the ramble. :-D Gah! Ok, I feel like such a bad person because I'm jealous of someone about something that I shouldn't be jealous about and... once again, I'm being vague... Screw it, I'll just lurk to pet my fingerless gloves now... *petpet* Se onr sverdar sitja hvass.

I do believe my ramble-box just broke... O.O Like, seriously, I'm not really sure what to say... Not just here, no, but... everywhere... Which makes this post... completely pointless. Uh... I... wish I could ramble for a bit... But... I'll just... *slinks away* |

I've been having a shitty week. No, scratch that. Make it YEAR. This year has been a living hell for me for some reason that I can't fully explain. I know parts of it, but sometimes, I'm not even sure if I've got those parts right. My mommy described it best. She says I'm "floating". Meaning, I'm in school, but I'm not doing well, I don't have a job, and I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life or even the next five minutes. It all has this huge thing to do with self-motivation - or rather, motivation of any kind. I can't motivate myself to do anything. No, not just the big stuff, like pay the bills, go to classes, find food. But stuff that I actually LIKE doing. I haven't been able to finish a book since my birthday, and I can barely force myself to read things that I WANT to finish reading. I can't make myself write, even at the times that I really, REALLY want to. I can barely find it in myself to force myself to talk to people that I like talking to! I have a hard time making myself go to bed, and then when I do get to sleep, I have a hard time making myself wake up. Sometimes I wonder if it would just be better to keep sleeping and not ever wake up again. And I feel so goddam alone. And I'm so tired of being alone. My freshman year, my roomie left. My sophomore year, my roomie left. And this year I've got a whole huge house to myself and I hate it. I hate it because I have no one to talk to, especially not since this whole motivation issue started and I can barely even talk to my friends online. And I have no one to comfort me when I feel like I do rigt now. I wish I didn't have to come back to school every week. I wish I could just stay at home where I feel safe and loved and I'm surrounded by people that I know care about me. Because when I'm here - when I'm at school - I feel like there's no world outside these walls. At least not a world that cares about me or woud give a shit if I stopped leaving the house. And above all that, it seems like my mom is the only person who really understands what I'm talking about... and, bless her, she reassured me... she knows I'll get through this and she knows I'll do great things with my life... because she has faith in me and what I can do with myself. But God... I just wish I had faith in myself.... |

When did you first discover Fullmetal Alchemist? This past April. I managed to watch the entire show (plus movie) and then read 16 volumes of the manga in about two weeks. :-D Are you happy you discovered FMA? Fo' shizzle! It's definitely my favorite anime and the manga is, like, twenty times better, at least. Do you consider yourself a fan? Most assuredly. Do you recommend the series to other people? Every time someone asks for something to watch. XD I'm trying to get brother #2 to watch it, but he's hung up on Naruto at the moment. Sub or dub? Mmm... I watched it originally dubbed. Usually, I prefer subbed because the dubbing voices are HELL. And yes, a few of the voices in the dub make me cringe, but the main characters have great voices. So I say go with whichever. :-D What do you think of the movie? The OVAs? Haven't really seen the OVAs, but the movie was decent. It gave me more of a finish than the anime did, which I really appreciate, but I also don't like how it STILL left us hanging in the end... What about the manga? Do you read it? Of course I do! And, as previously stated, it's at least three hundred times better than the anime. (Oh wait, did I change my number? You know, 76% of all statistics are made up on the spot. That's right, a whopping 37%.) Which episode is the best? I'm going to have to say the last three episodes. Just... the entire sequence is absolutely amazing. Which episode is the worst? Episode 4 with Majahal, definitely. Nooo point. x_x Did you cry at any point in the series/movie/OVA/manga? Quite a few times, actually. It's an emotional series, I can't help it. :-P The best opening/ending song? My favorite opening songs was the fourth one ("Rewrite") and my favorite ending was the second one ("Other Side of the Door") Who’s your most favorite character? Oddly enough, it's Ed! I don't know why, but this is one of the few series I've found where I actually LIKE the title character! Who’s your least favorite character? Rose. Worst person to make a cameo into a big part with... *eyeroll* Which character do you think is the most misunderstood? Armstrong. I think people just see his outer bravado and decide they don't have to look any further than that. Which character is the most under-rated? Black Hayate. The puppy could do so much more. XD Which character has the worst past? I vote Roy, mostly because of what he was forced to do in Ishbal. Is Ed actually short? Exceedingly so, but that doesn't mean I don't love him! So... do the Homunculi have souls or not? I define a soul a lot differently than most people. I personally believe they do, even though the anime says they don't. Do you like Dante? Not particularly. Especially as she's a villain that doesn't make a TON of sense... Do you hate Winry? Hells no, I think she's neat. What about Rose? Yes, I actually despise Rose. Useless twit... Would you go on a date with Havoc? I don't see why not! :-D Do you consider Scar a hero or a villain? I consider Scar as a sort of anti-hero. He's trying to do good by the world by doing bad things. He's an "ends justify the means" sort of guy, but that doesn't make him a VILLAIN. So... yes. Anti-hero. What was your first impression of Armstrong? *death-by-laughter* Who’s more disturbed: Envy or Kimbley? Kimbley. He just has issues... Did you like Hughes better after he died? Not really... I adored him anyway... What about Greed? I also adored Greed... *purrs on him* Did you like Pride better before you found out he was a Homunculus? I loved the Fuhrer! He was just so neat and cuddly and... *cough* He was a great villain though, so I can't say I liked him better before or after. If you were Roy, would you have killed Winry’s parents under orders? If I were Roy, I wouldn't have been in the military to begin with. XD But I dunno... I don't think I would've. Can't be sure though. Was Hohenheim justified in leaving Envy after he created him, or was Dante the better parent? Erk? We never really learned the FULL story behind WHY he left Envy, so I can't judge! Why does Al wear a loincloth? To cover his armory man-bits? ;-) Why does Envy wear a loincloth? Uh... to cover human-like man-bits? Did you think Envy was a girl the first time you saw him? I was always just CONFUSED with Envy. Because it's an obviously female voice in the dub, but he looks kinda guy-ish. So I just classified Envy as a shim. *nodnod* Who’s the best side character? Falman rocks pretty loud. Let's go with him. Who’s the most annoying side character? That guy... Fletcher! I can never remember his DAMN name... but I hate him. Nearly full automail body?! Wtf?! Which characters, if any, do you think are overrated? Ed, actually. Everybody praises him for being uber-awesome, but I don't see him as being any more uber-awesome than a lot of the other alchemists. Who’s a better Greed: the original, or Ling? Gah! Uh... I LOVED the original. But I also like the plot behind Ling being Greed... TIE! I claim tie... :-D Do you forgive Tucker for what he did to Nina? Hells no! It's his DAUGHTER for God's sake. >_< Do you forgive Scar? Ok, Scar's a bit more complicated. Yes, he murdered people, but he was doing it for a greater good and in the end (in the anime at least), dies a hero really. Maybe not forgive him, but he's on his way to redemption. Who’s prettier: Lust or Riza? Riza. Methinks she's smexy. Is Gluttony ugly? Not ugly. Creepy. What’s Dante’s sexual preference? Gonna have to go with hetero. *nodnod* Which character is the best looking? Ed. *drool* Which character is the worst looking? Marcoh, mmhmm. But he's just kinda oldish... If you could see one character naked, who would you choose? Ed. O_O What’s your favorite pairing(s)? Ed/Winry, Roy/Riza. I'm a canon girl. ^^; What’s your least favorite pairing(s)? Eh... Dun have any. :-D What pairing makes the least amount of sense? I would say Ed/Al, but... the connection does make sense to me on some level. I dunno. Let's go with Scar/baby panda. *nodnod* Which is better: FMA yaoi, or FMA yuri? Yaoi, for shiznits. Do you read/write FMA fanfiction? I read it, don't write it. Do you look at/draw FMA fanart? Look, but don't draw. I can't draw. :-P What do you think of FMA Mary Sues? Meh? Any Mary Sue makes me cry tears of blood? Crossovers? Crossovers can rock if done WELL. But that's true for any fandom. FMA AUs? So easily done. *psh* Office sex? Hrm? What-now? *cough?* Do you think people write Envy OOC most of the time? Wouldn't know, never read anything Envy-centric Which is more canon (in the anime): Elricest or EdWin? Ed/Winry. Elricest isn't really canon at all, IMO. Which is more canon (in the anime): Royai or RoyxHughes? Roy/Riza, yepyep. There is no yaoi canon, you silly people! Would Dante ever open up to anyone? Doubt it. Doubt it muchly. Is Envy gay, or would he go with a woman as well? I don't think Envy thinks about sex, really... Does Ed really have a crush on Roy? Noooooooo. I think he respects him though. Does Roy return the feelings? The feelings of respect? Yes. Definitely. What is the most plausible (non-canon) het pairing? Havoc/Armstrong Sister. The most plausible yaoi pairing? Roy/Hughes, yes. They make sense in their weird way. The most plausible yuri pairing? Winry/Bookworm. *nodnod* Can Envy make m-preg work? Ew? No? Is HughesxGracia cute? I have to say YES. Just because Hughes is cute... :-D |

Hello chitlins, from the planet of... uh... Damn! I forgot to come up with a name for my planet. *sulks off to do so* ANYway... Wait, did I have a reason for coming on here and typing...? YES! Yes I did! RIGHT! My reason is that I just got a book for my birthday. (Yes, happy birthday to me! Weee and bouncing!) I asked for this book for my birthday, so it was no surprise to get it, but it was still probably my FAVORITE present, because it will give me many hours of enjoyment in the future. Because, surely, I am GOING to read it again. And again. AND AGAIN! Because, oh dear sweet chitlins, it is the BEST. BOOK. EVER! Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that this can't be possible. But believe me, good sirs and madams, that it is MOST ASSUREDLY possible. The best things in EVERYTHING have taken up residence inside this ONE BOOK. Ok, before I ramble further, I'll at least tell you the name of the book and why I wanted it to begin with! It's called The Hunt for the Seventh by Christine Morton-Shaw. She usually writes children's picture books, but has recently started writing some books for "young readers". Before y'all get on my case for reading "kid's books" I would like to forcefully point out that many of the great books nowadays are considered for children. Even though they're... very mature for people under the age of 13 in most cases... o_o For instance, Harry Potter is considered a children's series. The Inheritance Cycle is also! And Ranger's Apprentice!! They all deal with death and war and betrayal and... well, lots of nasty things. But they're still considered children's books. *rolls eyes* Yes. That makes muchly good sense. Right! So... uh... back on subject, chicklets! I had read Christine's first attempt at a more mature novel. It was entitled The Riddles of Epsilon. It was a highly captivating and intriguing book. The twists were so well executed that it kept me guessing up until the VERY end. It quickly rose to the top of my list of favorite books. So when I heard that she was writing another book - and that it was coming out right before my birthday - I leaped at the chance to get ahold of the next book by such a fantastic author! And - in a show of my devotion to this author - I read the book in two days. O_O I am NOT a fast reader, so this was a big accomplishment for me. Of course, I barely put the book down during those two days... >_> Anyway. Finished the book... and I want to read it again already. It exceeded the expectations I had for it based on Epsilon and kept me riveted the entire time. I really wish I was better at writing a glowing review for this absolutely AMAZING book, but I really don't wanna give away plot points! XD Suffice it to say: The book was perfect. It had the three elements that I look for in a good book in quantity - a captivating plot, engaging and accurately worded writing, and realistic and riveting characters. Especially the one named Einstein. Best. Character. Ever. (Well, not quite, but he DOES, in fact, make my list. Pretty high on it too...!) The whole point of this? READ HUNT FOR THE SEVENTH!!! OR NASTY THINGS WILL HUNT YOU DOWN! WITH OIL! AND... SOMETHING ELSE SCARY! Ok, so maybe not. But seriously... It's worth the read. And that, my friends, ends my ranting. *bows low* Until next time! Se onr sverdar sitja hvass! ~freakanature~

O_O It has been an EXCEEDINGLY long time since my last post. Ladies and gentlemen (this means all you people who... don't actually read this...) I am terribly sorry for the overly large gap in posting time. Now, you might think that because it's been so long since my last post that I actually have a lot to say. If you think this (oh, you imaginary people I pretend to talk to), you are woefully mistaken. For I do NOT have much to say. Aye, it is a sad day when I don't have anything of any importance to say. That would, in fact, make EVERY day a sad day then, if you think about it enough. Because I never have anything of any importance to say. I just say whatever comes to mind and it usually involves things that make no sense... Like chicken... Or pudding... So, yes. I think that is all I have, unfortunately. I'll leave you with this, though: I LIVE IN A HOUSE AT SCHOOL NOW! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Good-bye, thou shitty dorm rooms... Hello my own kitchen. And now I bid you all adieu. Se onr sverdar sitja hvass! ~freakanature~ P.S.

So... Since the new Ninja Turtles movie came out, I have become... RE-obsessed with them. I loved them when I was little (I've been a fan since I was one), but there hadn't really been anything interesting having to do with them since then. But the new movie is EXCELLENT!! (I've seen it twice) So, I've been watching the old movies and the old animated series (I own about six episodes of the old series) and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Donatello (who's been my favorite turtle ever since I first saw the show) is totally the coolest turtle EVER! :: dies from happiness :: |

So, I was thinking one day about how I love so many characters, and I decided to make a list of my top 33 favorite characters. Why 33? you might ask. Well, because there were 33 lines on the piece of paper I had... That's really the only reason. So, I will start with number 33 and work my way down to number 1, giving reasons for why each character is a favorite of mine. I hope somebody likes this! Be warned: there are some spoilers, though I tried to avoid them as much as possible. Just so you know! ( Number 33 ) ( Number 32 ) ( Number 31 ) ( Number 30 ) ( Number 29 ) ( Number 28 ) ( Number 27 ) ( Number 26 ) ( Number 25 ) ( Number 24 ) ( Number 23 ) ( Number 22 ) ( Number 21 ) ( Number 20 ) ( Number 19 ) ( Number 18 ) ( Number 17 ) ( Number 16 ) ( Number 15 ) ( Number 14 ) ( Number 13 ) ( Number 12 ) ( Number 11 ) ( Number 10 ) ( Number 9 ) ( Number 8 ) ( Number 7 ) ( Number 6 ) ( Number 5 ) ( Number 4 ) ( Number 3 ) ( Number 2 ) ( NUMBER 1 ) *Note: This list is subject to change in the future as I meet new an exciting characters. I will repost it if it changes! |

So, I haven't posted anything in a long time... Sorry 'bout that, for those of you who actually might possibly read this. Meaning... almost nobody! Woo-hoo! Anyway, things are going pretty darned good! I have my dorm room to myself now because my roomate needed to go spend time with her family. So, the room is much cleaner and spacier. It's very nice. Gets kind boring every once in a while, but I think I can handle boring. So, the other day I wrote over a thousand words of a story as well as, like, ten poems. It was absolutely amazing! I had had writer's block for two weeks previous to that, meaning I hadn't written ANYTHING for two weeks. It was really starting to get on my nerves. But now, I can't seem to STOP writing! It's great! :: grins :: And, for my Myth and Tolkien class, I get to write a fanfiction about Boromir and Faramir when they were young for extra credit! It's gonna be great! I love writing fanfictions! So much easier than writing my own, original stories... :: shifty-eyes :: Well, that's really all I have to say right now. Oh, I am still obsessed with Avatar. It's a great show. NEW SEASON STARTS IN MARCH!!! :: dies from the excitement :: I'll post again soon! Se onr sverdar sitja hvass! ~ME~

Oh... my... GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! :: dies :: Today, my brother, my dad, and I all went to see the musical Pippin in Toronto. And it was amazing. It was my second time seeing it (I saw it in East Lansing too), but it was just as awesome as the first time. So, anyway, at intermission, my brother and I went down to talk to the pit band. I had talked to the drummer the other time I had seen the play, and he remembered me. He told me that at the end of the play, we could go around the back of the theatre and wait for the cast to come out and meet them. So we did. And I got three of their signatures!!!!!!!!!!!! They were so nice too! Just completely amazing people! :: dies again :: So... Yeah... Just had to brag! :: grins :: See y'all later! ~ME~
