So, part of me wants to watch FMA. But part of me also remembers how FMA fandom destroyed any interest I had in that show. I don't like rabid fangirls. I also didn't like how it was considered a GOD AMONG ANIME just because it had more exposure and did better ratings-wise than other anime. I like FMA, it's fun, but I can't get into the ZOMG FMA'S BACK THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE mentality of so many. I may wait a few episodes and then stream.

Winning quote of the day:
"I think rape is when the rapist is the unappealing villain so the victim has no chance of loving him, and non-con is when the rapist is attractive and sympathetic so the victim gets into it and falls for him by the end. That's just my rudimentary understanding, though."
-yaoi fangirl rationalizing warnings for posted yaoi manga

Wow, fangirls, just wow.

I am really going to have to buy the rest of FMA for Christmas or birthday. For the past two days I've been humming/singing Indelible Sin in the car and wondering where the hell it was from. I convinced myself Get Backers but that never seemed right. It wasn't until the images from the ED and the weird ending of the song returned that I realized it was FMA all along. I was sad.

I really love Her Majesty's Dog. It's not the greatest manga in the world. It's not that original either. But I enjoy the characters, Hyoue's hot and he sports fangs and demon eyes from time to time. It's just one of those things that is fun to read. A good crack shoujo.

Heroes, I would like you so much more if you didn't throw so much at me so that I can't grasp anybody's character. I'm still working off gut reactions for the ones I do like. You really could do better since the scenarios themselves aren't half-bad.

I'm all but ready to give up on House since I never catch it. Nobody will show it to me and I always miss my chance to catch it elsewhere. I enjoy House but it's just not fitting my schedule any more. Why can't it come on at 10 or sometime I'd have a chance of catching it?

Did I leave my cell phone at work???

Those Furuba spoilers, the charas at [livejournal.com profile] campfuckudie shared, WTF!!! They top the KKM spoilers in ep 73 like a seme from hell.

Looking for a new car since Touya's seen better days. I really want a Beetle, but I've never driven stick in my life and I'm afraid. It has been my childhood fantasy to have a Beetle ever since I saw the original Love Bug. I wanted either a silver or a lime green one. I've found a decent one that's in my price range. CD capabilities too since that's another reason I'm getting a new car. But I might just go with the nifty Saturn I found because of that whole manual transmission thing. The Saturn comes with a sunroof and is automatic. The mileage isn't so bad either. I know so little about buying cars.

I'm undecided on how I feel about Gaara's dubbed voice. Part of me wants to like the low rasp, which borders on sexy. But I also agree with [livejournal.com profile] _argustar about the sounding too old. Kankurou sounds like a child molester, which I'm fine with. And Temari is punk enough for me. I could care less about the adults. Naruto adults annoy me and never get enough development anyway. Kurenai especially. She's so bad ass.

My bro needs to learn that punishment does not mean "oh I can check on my games on the Internet" or "I can play video games while my sister shops for her car" or "oh I can watch this or that." -_- As many times as this boy's been punished for grades, you think he'd have mastered the repercussion thing by now.

My FMA tape ran out of space again. Dad never got to see the Roy/Ed reconcilation AKA the scene that renewed my love for Roy. Roy loves his widdle Edward. In a totally platonic, brotherly way. It just makes me "aww" every time. I want to hug Roy.

Nothing I hate more than when LJ tells me I forgot my password, which is a lie. Must be LJ's little way of telling me to start using it again.

Been distracted by Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel. Everyone may say the game is easy as all get-out, but being that I haven't played a game since Xenosaga II since summer, I've lost my touch. That said, I got offed by either a fish or a lizard. I don't get how a teeny animal can devour 60 points. I should have used all the elixirs I was getting. I blame Al for dying most of all. Does everything and its dog have to be a friggin' alchemist in this game? It's annoying as hell. I can barely fight anything unless I draw it out to a secluded corner or shoot it with weapons from miles away. Chimera cannot do alchemy! Armony is less of a pain than I initially thought, possibly because she's sick and dying now. I know she's going to die, and almost feel sorry for the boys. *tear* I think my most enjoyable moments were when that bastard Roy let the military capture Al and when Hawkeye attempted to go undercover. She's so bad at it.

Finally got my DVDs I ordered for xmas. I can watch KKM while I play tonight. Plus, my WR collection is complete. Joy. Birthday's still going to suck since I have to work and because my hours are all screwy from the holidays and the people on vacation, I'll probably have to work until the afternoon the next day, making birthday planning very difficult.

I have this odd urge to make a Sasuke icon reading "Rebel without a clue." Or maybe that's more of a Jounouchi thing.

Before I watch ParaKiss 1 (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] quebelly for telling me the sub was out) and then kick my ass into productive gear, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on Internet services. I miss dial-up. While it is slow as shit, it's reliable. I've had DSL and I've had cable. Both die on a moment's notice. Cable dies and requires an act of God to make it function again. DSL dies and requires patience. Nonetheless, I'm trying to get Dad to switch to DSL for the Internet just because I'm fed up with the trials of Comcast. I don't doubt that it's the fastest provider out there, but it's also the most traitorous. I can deal with my downloads and page loads being a few times slower if it means that I can trust my Internet to work when I want it. DSL dies as well but less frequently so it's got more of my respect for the time being.

Also was thinking about Greed and FMA 34 )

I wanna make an Advent Children music video with Masterplan's "Spirit Never Dies." I turned it on yesterday to check for lyrics for iconage. Nothing fit but the idea of a video with all the fighting and all the sad characters seem appropriate. It'll go in my big pile of AMVs to do but will never get done.

I need to start my Angel watching soon.

[livejournal.com profile] _argustar and I had another Naruto-watching party. Right before, my aunt called and randomly complained about everything under the sun, from how "nobody cares about the poor white people in New Orleans because they're too busy bitching about the lazy blacks who don't even work" to how much my sister sucks to how much her life used to suck. The whole time I'm RPing and half-listening and half-responding with the English version of "hnn" and whatever and watching the clock since it's dangerously close to Naruto time. I almost formulated a plan to convince my aunt to let me off the phone when she finally opted to talk to the Bro. Then I ran for the television, cranked it up as high as it could go and touched the phone no more. You do not mess with Naruto time!

People are iffy about dubbed!Sasuke because when he monologues or snarks under his breath, he tends to speak real low. Once he's allowed to speak in a normal setting, he sounds much better. I thought he did a very good job with his lines to Sakura, especially the one about his angst. I never realized how cheesy the combination of those lines and Sasuke's them make that scene. It's like angst overkill. It's still one of the few good scenes of that crack episode. About the missed kiss, aside from the "I'll get you, Naruto" lines people pointed out, we also get the "Those guys are vicious!" from the kid responsible for their *kiss*. Chouji's voice is disturbing! Shikamaru sounds too much like a punk-ass bitch. Everyone else is doing much better, even Iruka, although he still can't pronounce for shit. Sasuke gets extra points for being the only person on that show to say Naruto's name decently. How fitting.

Oh yeah, why the heck do the hokage and the jounin gather around a crystal ball to have a Naruto and Sasuke watching party? The voyuers!

Also watched the Alchemist last night. I've missed me Edward. For some reason, it was so weird watching dubbed Edward again. It didn't feel the same. Well, Wrathers should be around next week. That'll yank me out of my funk.

I'm irritated with my design for Raul again. Yeah, Raoul just isn't sitting right with me anymore; it doesn't fit his personality. He's more of a Raul. Actually, he's more of a Lysander, but I'll confuse myself that way. I like the platinum, almost-white hair color, and I want to keep it kind of short. But I want something special about it. The darker side sections aren't quite it. I should have realized Raul would have to be *pretty* when I designed him. He is the offspring of a genetically superior being.

From now on to show my insanity, I shall now label my posts in a Naruto countdown style.

Bro skipped out of school today due to his ear ache. I just know that's going to come back and bite me in the ass. Couldn't he have gone one month without finding some way to avoid school? Just one measly month?

Saw the preview for Yugioh GX and the AE Arc. Yugioh GX will quickly become my new guilty pleasure when it comes to laughing my ass off at bad dubs. One Piece hurt too much to laugh at, but GX is crack to begin with so there's no harm in watching 4Kids make it worse. AE just had me confused. I wonder how they plan on handling Zork later on since he reminds me of a certain mult-dicked fiend from Breath of Fire 2.

In a slightly better mood thanks to a certain movie about two certain brothers who practice this little thing called alchemy. *squee* I will be hitting that as soon as I finish this post. On that note, where's my Destiny? I want to see the Lacus gang chilling at the mall.

[livejournal.com profile] vonheston had a fun meme the other day. Tell me about your favorite original characters, be they from original fiction or OCs in fanfiction/RP. [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix, this is not for you since we already know each other's charas well enough. I am interested in the rest of my LJ.

[livejournal.com profile] kracken's "Instincts" gives me a new idea on how to set up "Heritage." To think, I avoided that fic all this time because it was anthro. I still have trouble visualizing what the characters look like without fanart when it comes to anthro. I cheat and just see them as beasts, not these humanesque furry creatures that everyone is so enamored with. Fur just doesn't do it for me. Maybe ears, tails, claws, wings because they're kinky. But fur just seems random.

Found this new channel on the radio that only plays what it wants. It's a nice substitute for the country I listen to everyday since I lack MP3 or CD player that half the world owns. Only problem is that when it hits later in the evening, the channel switches to sports, which sucks.

EDIT: Saw the Naruto preview. Again, I'm going to be shallow like everyone else and have issues with the pronunciation of Naruto. It's like they're trying to hard to get it just right and it just sounds unnatural, especially for an English speaker. Other than that, I've got no complaints. I think Naruto's VA will work out after all. ^^

I have this horrible sinking feeling that I did my entire clip packet wrong, and I would care about this more if I wasn't dead tired from busting my ass all week. Their way sounds archaic anyway. Computers are where it's at.

Reading the FMA makes e sad, not so much because of the wank but because half the net thinks that everyone should find it funny when a group or indvidual waste the time of others. There's pranks and then there's asshattery. I'm too tight-wound for these things. I'm glad I got out of that fandom when I did.

I want to hear about a Naruto preview at Otakon. They still haven't announced who Naruto is and the Toonami premiere is right on the horizon. On that note, I drew a puppy-Sasuke during my lunch break. He looks tarded. As soon as I find my camera, I can post the bad image. I have this great artist vision of posting Sasuke, Asuran, Kiba, and Satoshi as puppies since they are my angst pups. Kaiba used to be included but I've decided he doesn't quite fit the requirement. To be a puppy, you have to be semi-sane and deeply depressed or just prone to life suckage. Kaiba's semi-sane but I doubt he's depressed and his life is actually pretty good once Gozaburou dies. So he's just Kaiba until I think of a cute name to give him. I refuse to use Dragon for obvious purposes. Other notable puppies include Spike from BtVS, Eiri, Tao Ren, and Tsuzuki. But as they aren't currently on my mind, they get put on the back-burner. Oh, I also consider Raito my puppy but that I can't explain at all. He's my twisted puppy.

I think I'm going to use my "Homewrecker" song in a montage about Asuran, featuring Kira vs. Shinn, Cagalli vs. Meer, and Lacus vs. Gil just because of "Now, honey, I'm a Christian, but if you keep it up, I'm going to go to kicking your pretty little butt." That and I have zany fantasies about Lacus thwacking Gil for screwing with her Asuran's head. If I had cosplay skills, I would try for her next year, but I think her outfits are way out of my league.

My dad's friend's daughter bought him a bag of Father's Day gifts because she's a usurper. She's always buying him stuff. I'm not allowing him to accept any more of these "gifts."

Went interviewing again. Children like to be interviewed, especially the cute one who said he wanted to be a journalist someday.

Brother and I are currently arguing about what a fight between ninja!Batman and ninja!Zuko would be like. I don't know how these things start. We decided that ninja!Zuko would be defeated by Batman's house. Brother said Zuko isn't allowed to use fire-bending since it's not real ninjitsu to use magic like fire. I pointed out Sasuke, and he shouted that Sasuke wasn't a real ninja. Crap, now he wants Sasuke to fight ninja!Batman just to watch him lose. I should stop having conversations with my brother.

I'm trying to force myself to finish Death Note but it's hard. Went to see Batman again (with Brother) and fangirled Jonathan Crane more this time around since I love his voice.

[livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto agreed to let me do a Daiken essay. But it's due on Otakon. What shall I do?

FMA trailers makes me happy. I love Al's frantic "NII-SAN!" and scrambling toward acceptant Edward. And Pirate!Roy's sexy voice.

I need to post sane things again. ^^;;
