It's wasted on them...

Okay, I'm exaggerating. They do like the story a lot. Mom just dislikes the Japanese version. And Dad makes stupid comments at very sad moments. And... I'm not sure how to argue against Mom, who has no knack for languages and gets annoyed by all of Ed's yelling (which is subdued in the english). So I won't fight it. With them, I watch in the dub.
*crawls into a corner to sulk/cry*
Still haven't finished my work. Unbelievable.
note to self: make notes here on vids to see -
FMA 2 is here. Yay

And I'm showing it to my parents. Saw the first disc, and now episodes 5 through 8. Mom's hooked, I think. As I said, the show really kicks off here...!
I have been hunting for an appropriate song for Nina, but the best I can find is doesn't seem good enough. Sigh.
Have been checking for news on the movie. XD Ureshi-desu! Three pages from Newtype Japan with much news! It looks SO GOOD! I can't wait! I wanna see Edo + Alu!
I sound like a fangirl ^-^;
In other news...
Saw Robots with Mom on Friday, but not before hitting the Borders right by the theatre. I picked up KareKano 14, Fruits Basket 8, Legal Drug 2, and Oh My Goddess 19/20. FANTASTIC! I love KK + Fruba!! (the others are good too, but I especially love those 2.)
SaiKano looks interesting. And it's not too long either. :) Maybe I'll check that out sometime.
Parents are home now. I have done absolutely none of my homework. Bad me.
Ja ne! -
why waste time on a title?

In PE/Driver's Ed today, we saw a presentation on the consequences of driving irresponsibly. I could have cried.
People sliced in half at the waist. Cars crushed by the tractor-trailers they plow into. People maimed, and some living through it. Mangled bodies that parents must identify as their children. Little girls killed by a drunk driver. They showed us pictures! I'm scared to ever drive again.
The presenter told one awful story about this college freshman weaving in and out of traffic lanes, knicking this SUV and sending it tumbling, killing the driver. He was only convicted of reckless driving because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt, but her daughter sued him and his family for everything they had. They had to sell their home, their cars, and he'll keep paying off debt for twenty years. Now, I can't imagine how it feels to lose someone in a car accident, and I don't want to. I know I would feel lost and hurt, and angry at the person responsible, and knowing me, I'd probably want to to cause them as much suffering as they had me. But what does that do? It would just lessen the misery a little, by spreading it around. Revenge wouldn't bring my loved one back. I like to think that I'd have that clarity.
That revelation really came from watching FMA, but that doesn't make much of a difference.
This is hard to write. Already, the presentation's impact is lessening on me. It's pathetic. Three hours ago I was huddled in the Lecture Hall almost throwing up, now I can't remember half of what I wanted to write.
It's so pathetic. -
IT'S FIXED :D

Okay, I'm no longer worried. It is now April 2. So was it a joke? I guess I'll never know.
*Proceeds to leave a few opinions on recent downloads (nice new feature) and hunt for Simon and Garfunkel or Cat Stevens AMVs.* -
*stares at this banner* Um...

Did anyone else notice that there are only _unworthy_ banners appearing on the org?
*is distressed*
*hopes it has something to do with April Fool's Day*
*wonders how - if it doesn't have something to do with April Fool's Day - the orgers shall remedie this...*
Strange as it sounds, I hope to soon feel foolish for worrying ^_^;
