While my skin tanned nicely (and I have hilarious tan lines), I got a bit burned on the shoulders. Enough that my skin started peeling off. So, uh, that happened. ...And is still happening. When will it stop?!
(My skin isn't close to that dark; it's just the lighting of the room. The peeled parts don't look as pink in real life, either, but it's still too light for someone to not question it.)
Before I forget, read My Brothers and I, one of the most adorable manga series I have ever read! I was about to cry from the cuteness and the feels. *tear* ...But it's a good feels!
I have to read for school Alive by Piers Paul Read (why do Alabama schools force you to read during the summer? That's just mean. (In that you have to read what THEY make you read. I would just be reading manga otherwise.)) Since the school year starts in just a few weeks, I am reading one full chapter a day until then. I'm only through the first 2 chapters out of 14(?) and already a ton has happened! This book is cray-cray! And it's a true story! *shiver*
Speaking of reading, I was taken to a thrift shop by my mom and sister (everyone keeps forcing me to go to places I don't want to go to! You poo-faces, I just want to read and write!) and found all 6 books of Scott Pilgrim there. Since Broranges wants me to read them so bad, I got them. I'm thinking of sending all of them to him for his birthday, if my parents are okay with that. I would have finished all 6 by now if I didn't have to focus on reading Alive.
I have been coming up with even more ideas for stories lately. Like, I had a day where I was writing based off of what has happened on an RP forum. (People rarely get on it anymore, though. *tear* At least I can look back at what has happened there 1-2 months ago.) Also, I had a bit of a disturbing idea.
Okay, only people that know anything about Fullmetal Alchemist will get what I'm talking about here. You know how Alphonse Elric is a soul tied to a suit of armor? Because of not being in a flesh body, he can't smell, taste, or feel. (At least he can see and hear, right?) I suddenly thought: what if the senses he still had were reversed? As in, he couldn't see and hear, but could still smell, taste, and feel. As in, he doesn't lose his whole body, he loses his sight and hearing. That would completely change, like, everything!
Of course, I started writing about it as soon as I had thought about what scenes I could do.
I honestly feel so bad for Al in this AU that I've created. (I almost started tearing up when I first thought about it.) But it's just stuck in my head! I don't think the fact that alchemyfreak42 having already written something sorta similar to this is helping in getting rid of it. So I'm still adding. I think I already have the equivalent of at least 10 pages on Word... No way I'm posting until I feel like I'll really make a story out of this. (Two ideas for titles I've had is "No Light, No Light" and "I Cried Out With No Reply" which are both based on songs I found through AMVs on YouTube.)
My main prob, Bob, is that I have difficulty writing serious things. I mean, I've freaking made Alphonse DEAF AND BLIND and I have still managed to make one or two scenes very lighthearted and silly. I don't think that's a good thing in this case! It should mainly be sad, right?! So why can't I do it?! GAH!
I seriously need to draw something again. One of the reasons for this blog was to post drawings, and I rarely do that anymore, and the ones I DO show are usually not on nice paper!
