Okay, I took the PSAT. That was not very fun. Especially because it was the 15th, AKA Tie Day, as one of my friends called it. I also missed half of my classes, but I think I'm pretty much caught up already. Aaaaaaaand I just found out yesterday online that all the 10th graders are taking the PLAN this week. *sigh* Couldn't I have been warned? Are they going to prep us for this at all?
I drew a picture on the back of another science assignment. *nervous chuckle* I had already done so for a few of my science things last term, but they weren't as big as the ones in the second term so far. (Speaking of, I got A+s on all my report card! *little dance in my seat*) Every once in a while I do small doodles of heads in math too, but I don't really do it elsewhere. Is it strange I draw in only certain classes? And that the size of the drawings depends on the class too?
*sigh* I was thinking once again of what I would love a guy to do when I start dating. This actually comes up in my head pretty often. I mean, what is cuter and more romantic than a serenade? Whether a guy can actually sing well or play an instrument or do neither, just the fact that he would have the guts to sing a song to me would melt my heart. (No boomboxes. I would not like that at all.)
I've even thought of a few songs that would work. I usually think of (and used in the pic) "Oh, Fionna" from Adventure Time. You know, the one where Prince Gumball sings to Fionna in the first genderbend episode? That song was really sweet, even if it wasn't actually him. I tip my hat to the Ice Queen for pulling that off. *tips hat that came out of nowhere* Another option could be just about anything from Juan Gabriel. My favorite is "Inocente Pobre Amigo", even though it is the complete opposite of romantic. *laughs* That song is practically BASHING the girl, actually, which I love. It can sound really romantic (in my opinion) if sung right. A white guy probably wouldn't be able to do that, though; it would have to be a native Spanish speaker.
The prob, Bob, is that we don't have a balcony. We'll be moving to an apartment next year, though, so maybe we will. ...But then it might annoy the neighbors... Whatever. He doesn't have to do it like a classic serenade, it can just be with us sitting together when we are alone after school or on a park bench or something. Just SING TO ME! You don't even need a guitar (or ukulele. ...What? That would work too)!
..;With that out the way, let's continue.
Considering I failed to draw my head last week, I decided to draw again. I also wanted to try drawing a side braid, since I have one often nowadays. It was a bit harder for me to actually draw it; it seems the rectangle eyes I do for myself are going away. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing! *sob*
I can't really draw myself with a different kind of eye (besides just dots) and it'll feel like it's actually me. That drawing with braid buns last week? That's almost me. The face just doesn't seem like me, so... I don't know.
I bet I know what Future Me is thinking with the braids! *smirk* EDWARD ELRIC!
I finally finished watching the 2003 FMA series yesterday! (It's all because of the Pandora Hearts! *hmph*) I noticed that the last episode was trying harder to make a happy ending than I remembered, so I felt a bit better than the first time around. I also realized they put in more hints that this wasn't really the end and started introducing the elements of the movie. And I really want to watch Conqueror of Shamballa now! *fidgety* But, since I had homework and other stuff that I was doing for the rest of the day, I instead listened to some of the music from the movie while doing my homework. Someone (lepetitchapeauvert) had made a playlist of every single song from the OST of the movie. DANG! That stuff was more dramatic than I realized! There was a lot of orchestra and ominous opera singing. I found two that I particularly liked, (interestingly, they were the saddest sounding ones,) mainly because I heard them throughout the anime and I really liked them. Turns out they were variations on the anime song "Bratja", or "Brothers" in Russian. It's such a pretty and sad song! I want to learn this song on the piano too, especially the section called in the soundtrack videos "The Alchemic World~Two Years Thereafter (17) - Ful". Another one from the playlist is "Sad Resolution~Separation (43) - Fullmetal Alchemist Movie OST".
If/when I learn "Bratja" on the piano, I might even arrange it to combine with "Lacie", because, if done right, they could sound really pretty together. We'll just see how it goes with learning them, first.
Oh, and to commemorate the occasion (and because I seriously felt like DOING something, even it was menial), I decided to braid paper, and found on the internet that, if you use 4 strands instead of 3, you can make a chevron pattern. Aw yeah.
EDWARD ELRIC AND HIS GOLDEN HAIR! THAT HAIR IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
...And this isn't, since I colored half of it with yellow highlighter. *nervous chuckle and shrug*
I cut slips in one of the pages of this journal (the one I got for my birthday from my sister) to keep this braid inside of it. Of course, to make it fit, I had to fold it in half, but oh well.
WOAH! *almost falls out of chair* I nearly forgot! I'm writing a story! ...in SPANISH! If I finish this story (which is an ORIGINAL, not fanfic, mind you), I'm gonna translate the whole thing into English too and post both versions on Wattpad. I'm focusing on just Spanish, though.
I got the idea for this because, according to a lot of FMA fanfic writers, Truth is a total jerk. (You people who have ever read Fullmetal fanfics know what I'm talking about, right?) Like, he/it/whatever is practically torturing the main characters in these stories. I agree that he could be nicer and less creepy, but he isn't crazy or evil!
But, from there, I suddenly thought about what the world would be like if God really was like this cruel Truth. A summary popped out of my head into my iPod Notes app and from there I have continued. This is the revised version of the summary.
En este mundo, Dios no era el personaje más lindo. De verdad, sentía más como que Él quería matar a todos que nada. Hasta a Él le gustaba mandar a humanos a otros universos alternativos si no era feliz con ellos. Pero, cuando mandó a Mateo a un otro lugar, no vio donde. Ahora, Mateo está en control. Las reglas han cambiado.
In English:
In this world, God wasn't the nicest person in the world. Really, it felt like He wanted to kill everyone more than anything. He even sent humans to other alternate universes when he wasn't happy with them. But, when He sent Mathew to another place, He didn't check where he ended up. Now, Mathew is in control. The rules have changed.
The plot is that, somehow, Mathew (or Matthew? Which looks better?) upsets God and He sends him to another alternate universe. He didn't bother to see where Matt (if characters will use nicknames, then I guess Matthew would make more sense?) ended up, which was His mistake and possible downfall. Why? He sent him to a place where Mathew was able to become a god himself and have as much power as Him, perhaps even more. You can guess crazy stuff will go down, right?
I feel bad about this story because I'm worried that, if I ever showed this to anyone, they would think I am mad at God or something. But I have to keep reassuring myself that I just have to explain the whole thing about Truth and how this is just an alternate universe; you know, a "What if?" story. I'm still nervous about reactions, but not as bad since I actually know where the idea came from and that I can explain the origin.
Last thing! I'd already had FaceQ for a while, but I decided to try making myself in it again (I had done it once when I first got the app), but more accurate.
Look! I'm showing my fandom though the red jacket and Armstrong sparkle (and a hand gesture that kinda reminds me of Colonel Mustang), plus the hat looks similar to the kind of hats I like to wear in real life. (It could look better, but oh well). The face has the large eyes, thickish eyebrows, small nose, and cat-like mouth, since I just love cats so much. Only thing is that I couldn't find hair that looked like mine and worked with the hat on, so I ended up with putting a hairstyle I wear every once in a while. Note that my hair is darker and longer. Also, the skin color is a little off. I am rarely very happy with how games for creating avatars turn out when I'm trying to make something very specific, like myself or a favorite character.
Today, the Young Women performed with the missionaries an arrangement called "The EFY Melody" or something, which combines 2-3 songs into a 9-page piece. Poor Dad was the one that had to play it. We all sounded great, though. My sister also had to give a 5-minute talk at the beginning of Sacrament Meeting, with which she did awesome. But... I have to do a talk myself next week! *horror-movie scream* I hope I don't freak out too much and actually manage to pull together a decent talk. Of course, with a ton of my mom's help.
