Yes. But that's okay, I've laughed at stuff twice as perverted as that. My story is coming along nicely. 13 pages. Whee! My favorite line: "...I cheerfully allowed this statement to fly right past my consciousness and settle in the "To Be Filed" section of my teenage brain (Zeus is firmly convinced that this is where my fashion sense ended up long ago)." (said when Hermes is warned by the Fates that something bad is in his near future.) He is speaking to the Fates in the first place because he is escorting Mahatma Gandhi's soul to the Elysian Field, and they are in Tartarus for an inspection on behalf of the Preservation of Mortal Torture Committee. It just gets weirder from there, don't worry. Olympus is run kind of like a business (hence Hermes' demotion). 3 DAYS! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THAT IS VERY LITTLE TIME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE BEEN FEVERISHLY WAITING FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND NOW THERE ARE ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!?!?!?!?!?!?

MEEEEEEEE! No Chill Pill calms She Who Obsesses Obsessively! *burns Chill Pill and scatters its ashes to the wind* TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I LOVE YA, TOMORROW! YOU'RE A WHOLE FREAKIN' DAY AWAAAAY! Amry's version of a cheesy classic. Thank you. (to properly enjoy that, you must imagine me singing at extremely loudly and off-key, while bouncing around the house in a long red coat.) Any suggestions as to how to get a five foot two thirteen year old boy into a suit of styrofoam and wander around in the heat bumping into things? He's convinced he should be Ed. But he'll get called a spanish for cigarette, sadly anough, if he tries to grow his hair out. So, he shall be Al. Oh my... it's time for a... [glow=blue,2,300]SUPER DUPER ALL-AMRYICAN SPAAAAAAZ![/glow] Today I will be spazzing about the episode of FMA given to me today by the esteemed Lauren. And Chrissi, was it just me or was Havoc doing something that looked suspiciously like humping Roy's leg when Roy says he will be making all female military officers wear tiny miniskirts? Ooooooohmygosh the episode was soooooo good and it was funnyfunnyfunny!!!!!!!! It's like, "Al, is your stomach purring again?" and the whole thing was downright great, a LOT of Roy Mustang closeups *drool* and even more of him looking really annoyed and even one of him SMILING! (awwwww!!!) and we get to see even more of his tormented past the poor guy, but he was about to get shot, I would have incinerated the dude too, so I don't see why he's guilty about that particular indident, and ED MAD AL CRY that heartless jerk, he could have gotten an actual JOB instead of running around refusing to tie himself to the military and dissing Roy (his EMPLOYER) at every possible oppurtunity (though I must admit his Roy imitation at the beginning was pretty funny) and then Al could have just kept the kitten in his stomach for a while and perhaps caught some birds for it to eat (you know how in the theme song at the end he has that bird sitting on his arm? Well there you go) and then he could have kept the cute little kitten instead of leaving it in that transmuted baby carriage at the end (geez, I thought Ed transmuted the KITTEN and almost had a spaz attack)and then Al wouldn't have to cry! Ooh, lots of appearances by the military people (they are SO my favorite characters) it was funny, some of my favorite quotes: "It appears to be a dog, Lieutenant Hawkeye sir!" "*BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM* "No more peeing in the house!" (no, Hawkeye did not kill the dog. She could have if she had wanted to, but she was just... making a point) Roy: "I LOVE dogs! They're the very picture of loyalty, they NEVER desert, you can be a total jerk to them *shakes puppy* and they STILL follow you just as loyally, and they NEVER ask for a bigger paycheck!" Havoc: "Having a manic day, Colonel?" Roy: "Ha, the Fuhrer's never going to approve that battle." Fuhrer (later): I think the battle's a great idea, Colonel. Why don't you have it on the parade ground?" "When I'M Fuhrer, there are going to be some changes. ALL female military offciers will wear tiny miniskirts!" "Thank you Colonel! I'll be loyal to you forever!" *Hawkeye walks by looking extremely annoyed* HA HA! There were even more, but those were all that I could remember. If you listened closely to what was said by the crowd when Hughes was announcing the fighters in the battle, there are some pretty funny comments in the background. For example: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, Colonel Roy Mustang, fearless fighter and the renowned Flame Alchemist!" (or something to that effect) and the guy in the audience yells at him, "You just wanna get promoted!" He announces Ed, and the people say: "Where is he? I can't see him." "Oh, THERE he is!" "Ha! Just try it, shrimp!" "Run home now, bean sprout!" "Roy's gonna have a hard time hitting such a small target!" And then Ed tries to dive into the crowd and Al has to restrain him as usual. SPAZ OVER! Ah yes, Hermes has gotten HIS first height insult from Hestia, who shakes him, pours something over his head without permission to bring down the bruises on his face (after Hera beats him up) and then calls him "Little Hermes". He takes a swing at her and misses, she grabs his hand on the return swing and holds it down easily. As Hermes puts it: "I hate when tall people take advantage of me, especially tall women. And the unprovoked attack on my hair made me even angrier. I swear, people never ask my permission for anything."

A "spanish for cigarette." Ooooooookay. I MEANT, people will call him gay. It's lousy that that's considered an insult, though. Also, the "f" and the "a" and the "g" connected word is British slang for cigarette, not Spaniah.

I'm walkin' on sunshine! Whoa-oh! I'm walkin' on sunshine! Whoa-oh! And don't it feel good!
YEAH! I watched it! It came with the soundtrack (which I have listened to three times), a pretty box, and a squishy piece of styrofoam.
After analyzing the first four episodes closely, I have come to the conclusion that what every character SAYS they need is completely wrong. I have compiled a chart that tells EXACTLY what each character really needs.
Ed: Edward Elric needs to have a large chunk of his ego surgically removed. (If you can think of a better way to remove it, tell me.)
Al: Alphonse Elric needs a long, serious chat with Dr. Phil. (Can't you just imagine that? "And then I woke up, and Ed was laying on the floor clutching what was left of his leg, which was trickling blood all over the place, and I got up to help him and I realized I was clanking...
Trisha Elric: She's their mom. And she seriously needs a reality check. I mean, her husband's NOT coming home, he doesn't give a fig about her, and then she can stop staring wistfully off into space and actually pay more attention to Ed and Al. No wonder Ed grew up a jerk.
Roy Mustang: I thought long and hard about this, and I've decided that Colonel Roy Mustang (who made his first appearance wearing an ugly raincoat and watching Ed and Al almost kill themselves from a distance in the first episode) needs two things: 1.) A hug, and 2.) a dog. You know, one of those adorable scruffy anime dogs that follows a character around everywhere. Come on, don't you think he's be a lot better off with a dog?
Those episodes were FUNNY! Have you ever seen them? Particularly the fourth one, where they're still only 11 and 10 and have left the sadness and flashbacks of the first three episodes behind and are on their way to talk to Roy Mustang. (He found them in Winry's house recovering and suggested they come to Central and get a job in the military. He was then chased out by Winry's grandmother.) My favorite part:
Bratty little girl: I bet you're not really alchemists! You're just some stuck up little pipsqueak and his walking trash can!
Ed: *twitch* PIPSQUEAK? Al: *sniff* t-trash can?
HA HA! The third almost made me cry. One thing puzzled me: it may have been for dramatic effect, but when Al wakes up and sees Ed sitting there trying to stem the bleeding in his arm and leg (Ed is just kind of whimpering), he does the logical thing and picks him up. But, rather than rushing off with his dying brother to Winry's (the closest house) he SITS DOWN and says in a small voice, "Brother? What happened to you? And me? ...What happened to ME?" Only after Ed has gasped his way through a complicated explanation of exactly what went wrong, why, and a long, sad lament about their failed attempt, does Al rush off with him to Winry's. Winry allows Al to sit there with Ed in the rain, covered in blood, while she stares at them in horror. When Al sobs, "Come on! Let me in or he'll bleed to death!" does Winry get the clue, say "Al?" in a mystified voice, and let them in.
Except for that, it made perfect sense and was an absolute tear-jerker.
Ah yes! First episode! As Rose makes her offering to Leto, Ed tries to convince her the Bishop is a fake while Al watches from behind a door. One of the Bishop's goons holds a gun to Al's head and shoots him. Al's head goes flying, landing a few feet from Ed, and Al crumples to the floor. The goon comes out and makes a speech about evil against God and contempuously kicks Al. Suddenly, Al stands up and starts running around looking for his head. Ed grabs the head and yells, "Hey Al! Go long!" Al runs around for a bit more shouting, "I got it! I got it!" and catches it. Both Rose and the goon run for their lives.
How about the part with the Chimera? The Bishop laughs his head off as Ed is caught off-guard and the thing pounces at him. Ed raises his arm in self defense, but there is the obvious sound of teeth meeting cloth and a sick ripping sound. The Bishop laughs his head off some more and makes another dumb speech about the wrath of God, then notices that Ed is just standing there allowing the Chimera to chew on his arm with a very smug look on his face. The beast is slobbering all over the place and trying to gouge the metal, but only producing a clanking sound. Ed then stabs it through and moves on to digging Al out of the eight feet of sand he's buried under.
Did you know it used to have a different theme song? And it was really stupid. It was a bright, cheerful, bubble-gum kind of song. Repulsive. Light-hearted, bouncy, exactly the opposite of FMA. Sad, really. The rest of the music is wonderful, though. One of the songs (entitled "Brothers") is entirely in Russian. Pretty, but I don't get it.
*pant pant* Wow, I've been waiting to spaz at you for two days! If you're better, prepare for more tomorrow. Muahaha.
Get well soon!

MEEEEE! And I forgot to mention - I owe my mother about a hundred dollars for all four. She went and preordered the NEXT THREE for me! Don't I have a great mom? Isn't she wonderful? I didn't even ask and she went ahead and did it! OK, I was obsessed before, but it's even worse now. It's finally found its way into my dreams. Not just Hermes with Ed's hair. No. Ed's entire body. (clothed.) The REALLY sad thing? I can't remember any more of those dreams. Ooh, I listened to the soundtrack again while I was doing my math project (grr) and now I'm all depressed. You would not believe how sad some of those songs are. I watched last week's episode again. Funfunfunfunfun! Oh yes: 54 more days until the next DVD. ;D

My favorite TV show. Fullmetal Alchemist. I'm willing to bet only Chrissi has any idea what I'm talking about. You see, I just got the first four episodes on DVD. I can't watch it because I don't have cable and it's on after midnight. So, I am spazzing about those episodes! My friend Lauren tapes the current ones for me every week, so I also spaz about those on a weekly basis.
OK?
If you want a plot synopsis, I can be brief. Be warned - if you watch Adult Swim on Cartoon Network at 12:30 am and get hooked, don't blame me. Muahaha.
Basically, two young brothers and aspiring alchemists (people who use the laws of science and nature to manipulate objects around them) try to ressurect their dead mother. However, this is a forbidden science, because alchemy runs on the idea of equivalent exchange, which means that to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. There is no equivalent to a human soul, so the ressurection backfires. The older one, Edward (or Ed), loses half his left leg in the resulting explosion. The younger and less experienced Alphonse (Al) gets literally blown to pieces. Ed, in the last moments before Al dies, affixes Al's spirit to a suit of armor, sacrificing his right arm (remember, equivalent exchange) in the process. When Ed recovers with the help of the neighbors, he gets his missing limbs replaced by biomechanical Automail substitutes. Fully mobile, of course. He and Al (who is now stuck in the armor, without a body) leave to find the Philosopher's Stone, a thing that amplifies alchemy power to the point where no equivalent exchange is needed. Their one goal is to regain their bodies and start their lives over.
Oh yes, and Chrissi: Since we're studying platonic solids, you may notice that the transmutation circle used for the ressurection and the funky blue and white one after the theme song is a flattened view of a dodecahedron. I realized that after that math movie we watched, with the fun shapes swirling around in space.

AUGH!
For once, this rant isn't about FMA! *gasp*It's about my story. I have found even more mythologically wrong with it. For example:
1.) Hermes has a son! And it's Pan! Drat it!
2.) Zeus is his FATHER.
3.) Ares and Athena HATE each other.
4.) Hermes was only the second youngest god. Dionynus (or however the heck you spell that) was the youngest.
5.) The three Fates DID spin, measure, and cut the threads of life. But it was the Grey Sisters who passed the eyeball around. And the Fates weren't all that ugly - just a little unpleasant to look at. Their names were Clotho, Lechesis, and Atropos. Grrr.
6.) Hera hates Hermes because Zeus is Hermes' father, but Maia is Hermes' mother. Grrr again.
7.) Hermes had a winged hat as well as winged sandals. GRRRR!
8.) My worst mistake EVER: I forgot that Apollo is NOT the god of the sun. That would be Helios. Apollo was the god of light, yes, but Helios was the guy with the chariot. I am such - *smacks forehead* an- *smacks forehead* IDIOT! *runs headlong into wall*
Yeah, I have already gone through all the pages and am typing it up to prevent any more confusion (particularly for me). There are myriad other mistakes, but those are all that come to mind immediately. What a draaaaag.

well, it's not much fun to others around you when you're totally absorbed into one thing and one thing only and make your friend stare at a black screen for 2-3 hours.. which is why I now hate Naruto. Because it's overrated. And sorry.. ;;

"Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel"...
It's a videogame.
