YO FACE

Hello world!

I had Monday off, and so we decided to use that day to visit Brorange's family! I got to hang out with Broranges for about 3 hours, I think. He had me read his newest story, which is once again apocalypse, but is zombies instead of Slenderman. He told me that all of it was actually based off of dreams he had. Lucky. I wish I could remember more of my dreams, they could make for some interesting stories. Seriously, Past AND Future Me definitely know that my dreams have always been crazy and make little sense. Once I told a friend a small part of a dream that I remembered, and she asked me if I took a pill before going to bed.

And yesterday, I actually saw the faces of 2 of my fanfic friends! One was a girl whose username is Clair Aragon. We Skyped together for a little over an hour. I wonder if I was anything like she thought I would be. I have given absolutely nobody even a vague description of what I look like except for Darkrai. Speaking of, he told me he wanted us to text, so now we do. He sent me a picture of himself, so I had to do the same. He actually looked different than what I expected (same with Clair), and I'm guessing it's the same with him and seeing my face. But I'm supposed to act like I know him from real life, not FFN, cuz apparently his mom is able to see all of his texts on her iPad. What kind of mom is that?! That is a total invasion of privacy!

I have been having a problem with writing my chapters on time. I used to update both of my stories per week, but then it somehow turned into one update per week, and last week I didn't do one at all! Gah, I need to work on it.

Well, I actually had a reason. My dad flew to another state for an interview a few days ago, and last night we had to pick him up from the airport. And a few hours before that, we had to pick up my aunt. And between picking up my aunt and picking up my dad, we went to a store and bought tacos, then brought them to the place she's been staying at, and we were there until we had to leave again to get my dad. So I was away from the house between 8 PM-almost 1 AM. I had managed to get at least half of the chapter done, but it wasn't enough to be able to post it. So I don't know if I will do that today or tomorrow, since it's the Sabbath Day and stuff. Is writing a story appropriate? Maybe it is, depending on what it's about. *uneasy face* I still don't know what to do...

Oh, and during church today I came up with a new idea for a story. I guess I'll post the link once I write it, cuz I don't want to write out the entire plot here...Too...lazy... ...Too...much...effort... ...Such...a...drag... (Sloth all the way! *fist bump* It's kinda weird how my laziness is sort of selective...)

Oh, and starting a few days ago, I decided to write a story, but not a fanfic, just one for myself. A problem I've had is that I want to write during school, but my fanfic stuff I only type on a laptop or iPod, and of course teachers get mad if you use electronics, even if you are done with your work. So this story I'm writing out in a notebook. I have already filled up 3 pages. It uses the two characters that I created that I have mentioned in this very blog! Mausu Mumei and Justin Maller! (Well, since this name is already used, I changed it to Jacob Muller.) I wonder how it will turn out... Hope it doesn't end up romantic, just full of friendship and awesomeness.

...Wow, I've been making myself busy with writing stories. I gotta calm down... But I can't!

Everything is Awesome!

Hello world!

On Monday night I watched The Lego Movie with my dad, and we loved it! It's one of the few movies I've seen where I was wearing a grin just about the entire time! And it was ACTUALLY FUNNY, unlike a lot of movies that attempt but don't succeed. I basically loved all of the male protagonists... I tend to not like females as much, for some reason. Even girls think girls are annoying! XD

One of my favorite parts is the song "Everything is Awesome!" It's just about my life theme song now! It's so beautiful! *happy tear*

I was pretty excited for the movie because I love Lego video games and animated stuff, as Future Me should remember, although I'm kind of embarrassed by it. I'm most embarrassed by liking Ninjago, but I've been caught up on it since it started. I was in Mexico during the second season, so I watched it a while after the episodes premiered, but I eventually watched all of them. Good thing too, since now they are on the third season! Whoohoo! I am intrigued all over again, and just can't wait for the next episode to air.

My favorite ninja has always been Zane, even before they revealed he wasn't actually human. In fact, that made him even better. My favorite episode of all time is Episode 7, "Tick Tock," which is the one where they find that out. I used to keep it locked in our DVR so I could watch it over and over because I just liked it so much. And he now had cool abilities because of being a nindroid that the others didn't. *mocking finger pointed at other ninjas*

I guess my favorite episode in the second season is the one where they turned into kids. (Irony is that earlier today I read some Case Closed...) Although it kinda bugged me that Jay complained so much about hating being a little kid, since I personally think that is the best part of life! No responsibilities! No job! Everything is given to you! You can just play and use your imagination all day! Although the fact that they needed to tell people what was going on and no one would listen, I could understand why they were frustrated... But what adult really thinks some boys could have come up with a story like that?! Seriously! GAH! I also freaked when Lloyd turned older! He's a good guy and all, but I liked him more when he was still younger and naive... Just seeing him with his hair and deeper voice gives me the heebie-jeebies now. *shiver*

Oh! And anyone who has seen any of the 3rd season episodes knows that now suddenly Nya is getting paired up with Cole instead of Jay! No! NO! She and Jay are much cuter, and he worked so hard to get her, he deserves to still keep her around! Cole can go die in a hole! (...Love-wise... I don't actually want him to die in a hole...) Oh, sorry, I was almost gonna have a huge rant! This was only a small one. (WHO ARE YOU CALLING-)

On Tuesday, we started to babysit a cat. She is super shy, but slowly started to get more accustomed to us and come out more often from her hiding spots. She just absolutely loves being petted and hates being picked up. She generally shows up in the evening, and stays out even when everyone is already asleep. Proof is that she sometimes meows loudly at our bedroom doors at night. The first night I had left my door open so she could come in and get more used to us if she wanted, and I ended up losing at least half an hour petting her, plus some other time trying to get back to sleep. Still totally worth it. *fist bump* ...But I haven't done that since. Maybe tonight, I don't know. I wonder how long she'll be at our house...

Something else is that yesterday I was finally able to post a chapter of "Ed the Cat" that was planned since around the second chapter, and people seem pleased. Although I accidentally left an ending that kinda implies that this story might not end up finishing soon... So I don't know what length to do now! Should I end it soon as originally expected, or draw it out? I don't really know what the ending will be anyways, except for a little epilogue... I hope someone will help me! Future Me, everything turns out all right, right? ...RIGHT?!

Last thing! A guy made a thread on my forum that is in the Kirby world, and he gave me a little Waddle Dee sidekick after a while, whom I named Cannibal! I just love him so much! I might end up using him in other stuff too! *giggle*

That's all for now, folks! (Wow, haven't used that in forever...)

Mausu Portrait

Hello world!

I honestly am not in much of the mood to write today, since I really don't know what to say... All I can think of at the moment is that I finally made a nice colored portrait of Mausu! *yay* The first picture's colors are more correct compared to what they are in real life, but the second shows more detail. Take your pick, I guess.

Being the professional colorer I am, I used 4-5 colors each for the eyes and the hair, plus 2 for the shirt. You probably can't really see the different colors in there, except a little in the eyes, but they are there.

Oh, on Friday night I went on a fanart hunt! A few weeks ago I went to a link that all of the art was Fullmetal Alchemist fanart. (http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/artists/197312584?view_mode=2) I bookmarked it and waited for a day when I decided to take the time to go through all of them. That was the day. I literally looked at at least 500 pictures. Quickly, but looked at all of them. It was pretty time consuming, but SO worth it. Sometimes, humans impress me a lot with their skills. Usually, I wanna facepalm then slap them, but there are times when I just can't help but gape my mouth at their sheer talent. That was one of those times. I love deviantart artists! They cause such a large amount of awesome flabbergastment! (That's not a word- YET.)

Today my dad showed me a book that has some short stories from an author named Philip K. Dick, and I've already read one, am in the middle of another. I think he's pretty good! I think I might look for more stuff from him in the future.

OH MY GOSH I can't believe I haven't mentioned it yet! It's been almost a month since my brotha-from-anotha-motha went on his mission!!! How did I forget throughout all this time?! ;_; Has been since the 15th! As a thing to honor him or something, I'm gonna wear the tie he gave me on every 15th! That's the plan, anyways. I feel like I don't have to say much about it here since I have been e-mailing him and stuff...

...That seems like everything. Except since a few months ago I started annoying my 4-year old cousin to death. *evil laugh* Oh gosh, he must slightly hate me at this point.

Romeo and Juliet Frozen in FMA (wut)

Hello world!

Well, a couple weeks ago, my family decided to write in our diaries every Sunday. Since this is technically my diary, looks like all of my posts are gonna be on Sunday.

Where to start? Um, my sister decided a few days ago to get her Patriarchal Blessing, which kinda came as a surprise to me, as she never talked about it before. Looks like the whole family is gonna come to it, whenever it is, so I am excited for that. Maybe it will help me while I'm preparing for my own!

Oh, a new friend of mine recommended Wattpad to me, and so far I've read one story on it. Of course, since I've had very little ...appetite for anything except Fullmetal Alchemist fanfictions, that's the only stuff that's in my library. While on the topic of fanfics, I am nearing the end of my story "Ed the Cat." I'm kinda surprised that this one is almost done, but I feel like the other version "Al the Cat" is gonna last much longer. I thought they would both follow similar timelines and therefore end at about the same time and stuff, but Al's is getting stretched out more. I think that's because I'm doing more cutesy stuff in it, and/or they visit more people, etc. Mainly, Al isn't in as much of a hurry as Ed is. This makes me wonder just how long the story will go, and what turns it will end up taking.

Remember that forum I spoke of last post? So far, only two friends have joined it. I already made it known to the world that it's there, so I'm not sure why there haven't been more. Most forums end up with nobody or just a couple of people, so I guess mine might be one of those. What worries me more, though, is that the two friends who joined, I Am Darkrai and Vibraknife (who I think I haven't mentioned yet), don't get along that well. Interestingly, they know each other in real life. And apparently Darkrai has a bad personality that really ticks off VK. And apparently, the character that Darkrai tends to use named Ryan (but that's not his real name; his real name is- OOPS, he probs doesn't want people to know! *zips mouth shut*) is exactly the same, besides having powers and all. Vibraknife just doesn't really have a way to escape him, poor guy. He tends to rant off to me how much he hates Darkrai and stuff, and sometimes vice versa. I didn't get into this kind of situation often before, the kind where people just spill all of their problems on me, so I am not really enjoying it all that much. I try to stay neutral, although agreeing if there was something that I saw with my own eyes, and just hope that neither side tries to suck me in more into the conflict. It really sucks, cuz I'm not sure who I should believe.

Last week in school we started reading Romeo and Juliet in English. It's actually easier for me to understand than expected. It was the same with Edgar Allen Poe, when we read one of his short stories. A lot of students were totally lost, and the teachers were telling us that even adults tend to have trouble with this kind of stuff, but besides any words I didn't know, I got everything. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because of reading scriptures? They are extremely old, and you have to learn how to read their dialect and grammar and stuff, so maybe that also prepped me for reading other older works of writing. Huh. It surprised everybody when it turned out that the whole play started with some dirty jokes, the ones which I was reading out loud for the class. *extreme sweat-drop* I actually preferred the part where Sampson talked about chopping ladies' heads off than that. Is that a good or bad thing? Hopefully good.

One assignment that we had was to take the prologue from Romeo and Juliet (which I just absolutely LOVE, by the way) and replace parts of it so that it was now of a completely different story. He gave it to us with lines where we were suppose to put our own words, kinda like a Mad Lib. With a suggestion from my sister, I wrote it after Fullmetal Alchemist! Warning you, if you haven't read/watched it and plan to, it has extreme spoilers. Don't read this if you still want surprises!

Two brothers, both (once) alike in looks,

In fair Amestris, where we lay our plot,

From Father's grudge break to new mass murder,

Where human lives make red stones.

From forth the hard hearts of those artificial humans

A pair of alchemist prodigies take their country back;

Whose bodies lost to piteous Equivalent Exchange

Do with their skills what their neighbors can't.

The traumatizing passage of their mother's two deaths,

And the continuance of their State Alchemist status,

Which, but their final battle, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours of voilence of our stage;

The which if you with excitement attend,

What here shall miss, our heroes shall strive to mend.

Not too shabby for being a Mad Lib, eh? Every time I read it I get all happies inside! I pretty much have it memorized at this point.

Yesterday I finally watched Frozen! We watched it with some of my sister's friends, the ones that usually come for Friday Movie Night, but it was moved to Saturday or something. I'll admit that it was good, but I honestly just didn't like it as much as Tangled and some other movies. I think something about it was that the music just sounded too similar to other musicals, it didn't have anything special about it. Right now, I can try to think of one of the songs in it, and instead "When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled pops into my head. I freaking can't remember ANY of the music from a movie I watched yesterday, except the lines "Let it go, let it go!" and "The cold never bothered me anyway," but that actually took too much effort. I take that as a bad sign.

...I'm done. Bai!
