Super quick intro, now! Fanfic number 48, yay! 2 more to the goal! How'd I think of this? A fanfic called Confronting Envy inspired this, and one of my fav authors agent000 has a fanfic close to this that I've slightly based on called My Body, Your Soul that I haven't finished, but its still cool! No more rambling, let's start!

It was a pretty ordinary day. I did what I usually did in the mornings; sleep until about 2 PM, then eat my breakfast of about 5 waffles (I blame the Gate babies for my sleeping and eating habits), then I kicked my sister off the computer to start working.

Oh, but I should start by telling you a little about myself. My name's Ayumi; and I'm a fanfic author. I've been writing for about a year now, and I've gotten really good if I should say so myself. My favorite character to write with is Edward Elric. I love him so much! I research him all the time to get close to his character all the time to get close to his character. (As a result, I sometimes end up crossplaying or acting like him on a daily basis) I feel it's my duty to get his character as accurate as possible! And its fun and sometimes I get really bored...

So, as I was saying, I was doing what I usually did when I first go on. After checking my 300+ emails for any notices from FanFiction, I checked through my profile for any updates. I squealed mentally when I spotted a couple of my favorite stories put up and clicked the links to read them.

A while later, I finally finished, sighing as I sent in my reviews. It always slightly bothered me when I wait a long time for an update, only to be stuck waiting again. Oh well, that's life. It only reminded me to update some of the many stories I had yet to finish, so I opened another window and began to work.

5 Instant Messages, 2 glasses of soda, and a trip to the bathroom later, I finally finished. Giddy at what I thought to be the best chapter so far, I rushed to the Stories section and posted it up. Seconds later, my email count rose up, and I smiled, ignoring it to work on another story.

Then, 2 story updates later, I stopped, scratching my head as I stared at the computer screen. I was drawing a blank to what Ed would do in this particular situation I was putting him through and decided to stop. I was already annoying the people who have me on author alert with these updates, right? I smiled slightly to myself at the thought, opening another new window to add to the 4 I already had up. I typed in Google, typing in 'Facts on Edward Elric' into the search bar. I might as well learn more about him while I'm bored.

The search results were in. I scrolled down; most of the links were purple, meaning I went to them already. I found a blue link (finally!), clicking and scanning it before backspacing, disappointed that I knew all their info.

Finding nothing, I went to the second page only to find nothing...again. I kept going through the pages, occasionally finding a few new facts (I laughed when I found out Ed could weigh up to 200 pounds because of his automail) I found myself on page 13, all links but one were purple. I blinked, the first in a long time, clicking the page.

The screen went white as it loaded, then the background turned black with blue stars sparking on it. Ooh! Cool! I thought, right clicking and saving it. The rest of the page loaded. On the top was the words 'The Secret to Full Metal Alchemist' in gray, curvy letters. Under it was a large picture of a really complicated transmutation circle that I've never seen before. I stared at it, exploring how it looked and tracing it with my cursor. I closed my eyes, watching the image fade into my slightly stinging eyelids (I don't blink a lot when I'm on the computer...), wondering how I would describe a circle like that for a story.

I opened my eyes, excited as I scrolled down, scanning the inscription underneath. I frowned; it was only a paragraph of weird letters and words I couldn't understand. I highlighted it and read through it slowly, trying to decipher it. I tried reading it upside down (with difficulty), backwards, intertwining the words, trying to find a way to understand it. I couldn't, sighing and copying it to the ever present window on Microsoft Word, and pasted it, saving and exiting.

I noticed my head started to heart and groaned to myself. I must've overdid it again, it was already 10 PM and all I did was stay in front of the computer.

I shrugged. No big deal.

I exited the site after saving it to my favorites and went to the story I was working on, finding inspiration from that site.

Sometime later, I finished, grinning as I put it up and jumped off my spiny chair. "Whoo! Four updates in one day!" I cheered, taking the time to dance around the room in a sudden sugar high. I stopped and gasped quietly.

"My FMA senses are tingling." I murmured to myself, running to the nearby staircase and carefully climbing over the railing to step down on the railing below and jumped to the floor, briefly pretending I was superhuman as I landed dramatically with my ponytail flapping in my face.

Cuing the dramatic in-my-head theme music, I dashed to the TV room in large strides, jumping over a few large objects and cartwheeling to my couch and grabbing the remote. I switched it on and changed it to Adult Swim, and sure enough, Full Metal Alchemist was on, right in the middle of the theme song. Yay for inhuman fangirl powers! I thought happily.

Later on as the ending song played, I lay on my couch, thinking of the two oneshots I would write based on that one episode alone. I smiled to myself, thinking about sneaking up to do it now, even if I was risking being caught.

I stood up to leave, just as the preview for the next episode ended. My head suddenly throbbed with pain. I winced, clutching my head to counter the pain. My vision swam and blurred, even more when I took off my glasses. I was suddenly overcome with dizziness and pain, collapsing back onto my couch and curled into a tight ball, squeezing my eyes shut hard. It stopped as quickly as it came, and exhausted as it left me, I fell asleep instantly.

That was fun! X3 I'm updating really soon, since I pre-wrote the first couple of chapters.

Please review!
