Hope everyone had a great holiday season and an amazing ending to 2008, and I hope that 2009 treats you even better!!

…One of my resolutions is to finish this fic :O Well…I'd like to finish it before I graduate high school but uh…we'll see how that goes XD OHAY WE'RE ¾ OF THE WAY DONE! –just realized this-

ALSO. I typed this between 4am and 7am on New Year's Day. So if anything's off, that's why. FOUR AM AND SEVEN AM. JUST SAYING. –twitches-

To everyone:

Two things, one serious, and the other fairly odd.

1. I am an Ed cosplayer, and my friend Vanessa cosplays as Envy. Would that make us half-brothers or half-sisters? -confused-

2. I tried out for the school talent show with seventeenth century Italian opera and went SO FLAT on measure thirty-two. All my friends assured me I did great, and I got in, but I kind of don't want to mess up in front of the people who get their kicks from making my life miserable. I really don't know if I want to perform anymore, which is so not like me. Does anybody have any advice?

Thanks,
Major Riza McKirdy, Lupine Alchemist

Envy: It makes you half-wierdos.

Ed: Seriously, though? It depends how into roleplaying you are.

Al: Well, just because you messed up once doesn't mean you're going to every time. If you can practice at home, or anywhere where you feel comfortable, you'll get better and I'm sure you won't go flat anymore! If performing is one of your passions, you should go with it, no matter what obstacles stand in your way; you can always overcome them.

Ed: And if people try to "make your life miserable"- hey, you're the one up there singing, not them, so just ignore them. Or, after they say something, wait a second, then turn and say, "Hm? What?" That'll piss 'em off…

Aloha! Konnichiwa!! Hola! Hi! XD
How is everyone? whoot! I'm on my 3-week winter break!! Enough time to work on my fan art and fan fics... hehehe... ^^;

Ed and Winry: I watched this video on youtube (it was held somewhere, don't remember) where your English VA says...like a skit where Ed proposes to marry Winry... AHH! *__* it was so cute and funny! I could totally imagined that happening between you two while listening/watching...

Ed- are you the type of person to go one knee and propose? Also there was the mentioning of you practicing on Al XD

FMA cast: have you done Karaoke before? I haven't... I heard from my friends that I can sing...even though I don't think I do... ^^;

Roy and Ed- I don't like the yaoi pairing of you two...bleh! But I like you two as like in a parental type of relationship... like Roy(father)/Ed(son). Its cute! ^^ I wrote a one-shot called "A Visit to the Dentist" where Roy takes Ed for a dentist appointment... :D would you mind reading it? Thanks!
I'd appreciate it...

This is a random question, but...
FMA cast: what if your roles are switched? For instance... Winry's the main protagonist and Ed...has Winry's place...as a mechanic; and Roy's and Riza's roles are...switched...yup...random XDD *imagining it right now* I think Winry's little sister would either be Elysia or Nina...(no offence, sorry) ^^;

Another random question...
Ed, Roy, Al (maybe other male good characters)- what if you were part of a gang who's role was to take over...oh...say...one or all of Amestris? And you were all "Bad" and stuff... what would your team name be? :D

FMA girls- (same question as the guys)

Roy, (maybe other FMA guys)- I dare you to say "Satisfy Me" to the FMA girls and other women; and see what their response to that is... (cackles evilly)

Wow.. long review... O.O

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL! :D
~Ookami Bakura

BakaKonekoRKL: …Are you stalking me, because I watched that video like a week before I got your review :O

Ed and Winry: (laugh) Yeah right!

Ed: Um…I'm under twenty. I don't need to worry about proposing yet because it's kind of illegal at my age, I'm pretty sure?

Al: P-Practicing?! Brother, what were you practicing on me?!

Ed: To my knowledge? Nothing.

Al: (sigh of relief) Oh, thank goodness.

Winry: Well first of all, if it's just for karaoke, it doesn't really matter how well you can sing, really. But if your friends say you can sing- hey, maybe you can! Maybe you can take singing lessons and you might become really good!

Ed and Roy: Me read something about him? Ugh, no thanks.

Al: Who do I switch with? :D

Ed: Then I'd be one pretty damn good mechanic.

Winry: Oh yeah? I'd be a better Alchemist than you ever were!

Ed: Oh yeah?

Winry: Yeah!

Riza: I'd actually get paperwork done.

Al: B-B-But…I'd never do that!!

Ed: It's just hypothetical.

Roy: Well I'd be the leader of said gang and-

Ed: Um. Is it "FullMetal Alchemist" or "Flame Alchemist"?

Roy: Aw, shut up, pipsqueak.

Ed: OH, IT'S ON NOW!

Roy: Heh, bring it.

All others: Happy holidays!

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on here, and a lot of stuff has happened since the last time I wrote.

1. I broke up with my boyfriend, the one who wanted to marry me, about six months ago now.

2. I found out that he was cheating on me with another girl during the last month of our relationship.

3. My brother and my parents (well, mostly my brother and my mom) have been getting into fights almost continuously for the past three months.

4. As a direct result of number three, I am now seriously thinking about going to college up north from where I live, if not just to get away from all of the junk that's been going on. I am so sick and tired of getting pulled into the crap on either side that all I want to do is go as far away as I
can... with a legitamate reason of course. Which is why I'm currently looking up scholarships and praying that I'll get accepted.

So... I guess the million dollar question is what would you guys do?

And, on top of that, I keep feeling depressed when I go and see other couples together... hell, even my 'self-proclaimed' little sister has a boyfriend now, and my brother has a girlfriend now too. I guess I'm feeling lonely... but I don't want to HAVE to have a guy to make me feel complete. God, I'm so confused anymore...

Not to mention the fact that my parents and brother had the first major blowup on my 20th birthday, and things have been pretty tense since then. There have been a few days that I wished that I didn't have to go home... or could just leave for a few days. I love my family, don't get me wrong... but I'm so tired of this... good grief, I don't even know what to call it anymore.

Okay, now for the individual messages.

Greed, Roy, Scar, Havoc, Hughes: You guys interested in an intervention of some kind? I will be forever grateful if one of you can come and beat my brother upside the head and knock some sense into him... or at least convince him of the fact that being 18 and having a girlfriend who's 16 just might not be the smartest of moves. That's ironically what most of the fights between him and my mom have been about. And Hughes, just think about how you would feel if it were Elysia that my brother was interested in, if that helps you put it into perspective at all.

Envy: Any suggestions about what to do with any of this junk that I've been going through? (Thinks for a moment before handing him a cardboard box full of kinitted/crochetted blankets) Here, you can have all of these too. I found them when we cleaned out the attic a few weeks ago, and I thought that you might have some use for them. As for how the fangirls will know that you
"made" them... just remember that Sharpie is your best friend. Hopefully that will get them off of your back for a while.

Riza, Winry: I need a roommate for NAU. Either of you two interested? I don't snore, sleepwalk, or sleeptalk, I swear.

Izumi: Can I crash at your place, and maybe learn some martial arts from you for a while? In my personal opinion, I'm way too damn weak.

Ed: I finally hit 5'5! Horray!! (Does the happy dance) I owe it all to milk, and finally getting that 1/4 inch that I needed!! And I know that when you hit about eighteen or so you'll have one heck of a growth spurt... my brother shot up like a weed over the past six months, and he was smaller than most of his friends for a long time. Yes, I have great faith in you, Edward Elric. Together, we shall show all of those tall people who mocked us, and make them rue the day that they were born!

Wandering Hitokiri

Ed: I think that now is the time when your family needs you the most. Of course, we're not getting the full story here, but whether you support your mother or your brother in these situations, you have the power to reason with both sides before the screaming can start. And you can save a lot of pain.

Al: On the other hand, sometimes it's better to just not get involved at all and let things work themselves out, but like Brother said if you can help them without ganging up on one side, it seems like it would be beneficial to them.

Winry: It's really easy to feel that way, especially when you're surrounded by other couples. Now is your time to be independent and not be held down by anyone. I mean, it's great when you can have someone there, but it's equally as great to just be by yourself, right?

BakaKonekoRKL: May I also suggest the song "Single" by Natasha Bedingfield? You'll feel way empowered. But whatever you do, DO NOT listen to "First Date" by blink182. Trust me. You'll be sad.

Winry: Another thing you could do is something like what parents do when their kids fight: you be the judge while each side defends his/her case. Make sure to keep the conversation adult to adult; if either of them sends you a sign that they're acting childish, get them back on track!

Roy: I don't see what's so bad about that. It's a two year difference.

Hughes: But…Roy! Think of Elysia!

Roy: That would be like a twelve year difference. It's not the same thing.

Envy: Kill 'em all?

Winry: Does NAU stand for National Automail University? Because then I'd be glad to go!

Riza: Sorry, but I already have a job.

Izumi: Oh yeah, sure! If you can first spend a month on an uninhabited island.

Ed: YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! Yeah but I'm not gonna drink milk, so good luck with that.

Scar
Thanks Scar.
What is a marzipan?
I agree with you on the elbows on the table rule.
What do you think is your best trait? (besides the good looks of course)

Kain
(smiles) It makes me feel better. I've gotten use to the name calling. You've seriously never punched anyone?
Ever passed out after having liquor?
Ever got pressured into something you didn't want to do?
Worse thing to happen while doing a task?
Anyone ever pinch your cheeks?

Roy
Who did you punch?

Havoc
Want a hug? (hugs Havoc before he can respond)
I know that sooner or later, you will find someone but it might be best if you went to a place where Roy wasn't around.
By the way, you're cute when you do funny reactions.
Do you believe in ghosts? Do you often corrupt Fuery? (there is rumors going on that you do)
Ever dressed like Roy to get a girl?

Riza
You're so sweet. Thanks.
Ever took a joke seriously?

Dorochet
What has the weirdest thing you seen Greed do while drunk?
Before becoming a chimera, did you like cats?

Sonar

Scar: It's a kind of almond paste. You can argue this, but it's fairly disgusting. My best trait? I suppose I'm pretty good about thinking about things…

Kain: Aw, I'm happy! But really, you shouldn't have to take that! No, I've never punched anyone, and I don't really drink, so no to that, too. You mean like peer pressure? When I was younger, my friends convinced me to skip school the next day to go to a fair, but when they came to get me, I was sick, so I really stayed home sick. I think the worst thing to happen…Ah, I spilled coffee all over some important papers…And besides relatives when I was little, no.

Roy: That's…classified.

Havoc: Um…yes…I guess? I don't know if I really believe in ghosts, but yeah, I do tend to scare Fuery a bit with stories…haha…And no…no I haven't…

Riza: No problem. And yes.

Dorochet: I tend to keep guard at times like that. Cats are…alright, but I've always preferred dogs.

Guess whose back! Well, I have only a few questions.

Ed: Why is it when someone calls you short you come back with an even worse
insult against yourself?
You're fun-sized not short!

Al: If a stray cat had rabies would you keep it?

To the authoress: Would you make one of these for another anime like Naruto or something?

Mimiki

Ed: I do not!!

Everyone: Yes, you do.

Ed: …Okay, maybe sometimes.

Al: Well, Brother wouldn't let me keep it, but I'd take it to a vet at least!

BakaKonekoRKL: At one time, I would have, but honestly, it's just too stressful for me at this point in my life. I mean with school and stuff, and I have other fanfics to write, you know? So maybe you could do it! :D

OMG I WON?!?!?!? NOWAYNOWAYNOWAY! YA-A-A-AY! (goes around randomly hugging
and high-fiving people, and waving happily at those who don't want hugs/high-fives) I'm so happy! I thought I didn't stand a chance in he--well, I figured I stood a LITTLE chance, but I actually won! I'M SO HAPPY! Can you tell?

Okay, now I need to calm down so I can question you guys some more. Oh, but I can't! (hugs Rhi, twice, give high-five and candy)

Anyway, YOU ALL FAIL. Just kidding. But I ended up going as Negro!Misa. I think next time I'll plan ahead better and go as Roze. Oh yeah, and the Ed from Cowboy BeBop's a girl, everybody. AHAHAHA "DO ED" HAD ME IN STITCHES

Okay, back to sanity...

ZILO...ALONE AGAIN, W00T

To Rhi: Oh yeah, I wanna see the Naruto one, but I always remember whenever I'm not near a comp. I need sticky notes...

To Al: Holy crap, really? OMG, should I be worried? I haven't grown in five years...(begins to worry incessantly)

To Winry: Surgeons get paid tons of money. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Same question to all the "military peeps" and Ed and Al.

To Ed: Yeah, well, so?

To Rhi: (again) You're kidding me!! Who said that?

Hmm...let's see then...

To the Homunculi: If the world was about to come to an abrupt end, what would you do? Ed and Al and Winry can answer too.

I'm so happy!!

To Roy: If you had to stalk somebody, who would it be?

To Dante: Would you rather have to eat a tub of mayonnaise or a pound of butter?...Or should I aim this towards Gluttony? Okay, here we go. Dante, would you rather be bald or have super-long hair? (like, ankle length)

Okay, that's all I've got. Everyone follow your hearts, or whatever. Bye!

--Zilo Sugarpill

BakaKonekoRKL: Yes~! You won! Lol. Anyway. Here's your reminder. Go watch it. Now.

Al: Oh, no, no, no! I mean if you're either extremely short or extremely tall or something. I'm sorry! Don't worry, you're probably just your full height!

Winry: Hmm…

Ed: Stew is pretty good.

Winry: Yeah…filling…has different ingredients…sounds good!

BakaKonekoRKL: …I dunno, some teacher or something. I can't really remember because I've been up since noon yesterday, and it's 6:40am today. Why? Because I want to see the Sun rise on New Year's Day. I'm a fun person.

Lust: That's…a difficult question to answer…

Ed: Probably say good-bye to everyone I could…I mean, if there was no changing it…

Roy: I plead the fifth.

Gluttony: Both?

Dante: Well, for how long would I have to keep it? I think I'd rather have the long hair. I could always cut it.

Roy, would you still want that robot if it only listened to you like, 1/17 of the time...?
Do you guys ever break the fourth wall? Or want to? If so, where? I mean, it happens a lot in fanfiction, but do you do that here? Well, I guess you do, since you're responding to us online, which is breaking the fourth wall for you guys, and so is responding to us at all... am I thinking about this too much?
Do you guys celebrate Christmas? Or Hanukkah? Or Kwanza? 'Cuz I've heard you do and I've heard you don't. O.o
Do you enjoy answering our questions...?
Riza, what's your favorite color?
Hughes, can your daughter play the piano? If she can't yet, you should plan on teaching her! That'd be cute.

September Rhyme

Roy: I thought you said all the time? It's every time, or no deal.

Ed: No, you're right. We also don't celebrate any of those holidays, but we do have other winter holidays. And honestly, these questions get pretty-

Winry: (jabs with elbow)

Ed: -GREAT. AND AMAZING. And I just LOVE to sit here answering them…for hours on end…Oh yeah.

Riza: Hmm…I actually like dark brown.

Hughes: No, she can't, but boy, does she have an amazing voice! I'm telling you, she could be an opera star in a few years!

Dear PeopleFromFMA:

Alright, I'll go ahead and address these to my favorite few...

Envy: You are the coolest cross-dressing palm-tree EVER!! Futhermore you're,
like, my third favorite character in the series... So, a question for you!

If X equal four, then what does Y equal in X2+98/2-Y? My algebra teacher gave
me homework for the holidays...If you don't want to answer the deal, you can
just kill her. =D

Roy: You are an awesome colonel, you know that? I really appreciate how mean
you are to Ed, because an angsty, moody Ed is a good Ed (please don't ask).
You're my second favorite character. Although its a tie between you and
Havoc...
Can I call you Colonel Smexmuffin?

Havoc: As stated before, you're at a tie for second. I sorta like you better because Roy has weirdish hair. The reason your tied with him is because I don't like smokers...my mom died from smoking and I'm majorly against it. Quit smoking and you'll be my fave. You're much hotter than Roy, anyway.

GREED!: I'm the most biggest Greed fangirl ever! And I have no idea why... It's the glasses, I swear. You know, you look like a bass player...have you every played the bass in, like, a band. If so, you were probably awesome. I cried when you died. =(
I cheered and threw a book at my best friend when you came back, because she doesn't like you.
Please don't kill her...but you're allowed to help Envy kill my Algebra teacher. If you don't want to, you can kill my Science teacher.

Anyway, much love to all!

-modernmotz (just call me Motz)

Envy: Why third favorite? Why not first? Well…Ok, that's still pretty good, so I'll figure it out for you…two times four is eight…and ninety-eight divided by two is forty-nine…so that plus eight is fifty-seven…Minus…Hey…WHERE THE HELL IS THE EQUAL SIGN!? Aw, screw it, I'll just kill her.

Roy: Yes. Yes, I do. And no, I won't ask…But hey, really, I'm a Colonel. And while I'm going to deny your request, aren't I still better than him?

Havoc: I know, doesn't he?! I'm really sorry about your mom, but…euh…I…I can't!

Greed: Oh really~? Unfortunately, I can't play bass. But yeah…I may take you up on that offer…

l;fkdskfjsjfs...

This is for Fletcher! Would you mind if I wrote a lemon about you and this little cute kid from Blood +? Me and this author here have been talking about it, and we both agree you and him would a great couple :3

...

Hey Ed! I send you love to where ever you are! Want to come over my house one weekend? Let me show you my computer Betsy...

Winry, can I borrow him for a, night or so?

Oh, and um, I LOVE U GREED-LING!

DeathBerrry

BakaKonekoRKL: Um, you're supposed to sign your name at the end, wtf is WRONG with you, woman?! I'M GONNA TRANSMUTE YOUR KNEE FAT!!! XD …No seriously people, I know her irl lol.

Fletcher: Oh, that sounds-! W-wait…a l-lemon…as in…sex? And…another boy?

Russel: Hey, stop poisoning my brother's mind, would you?

Ed: Thanks…but uh…well, that's ok.

Winry: A…A…what FOR??

Ling: Right back atcha!

Ok. So that's it. It's 7am. All the questions are answered. I need sleep. Happy New Year!!
