just in a rotten mood

[cornerofmadness]

Most of it is hormonal and the other is just a day of total annoyances.

like my class being over by 7 students. My students absolute insistance that we MUST cater to them (even the dean has told this one no but that is NOT an answer she'll hear). Just as I was ready to leave i get two calls (teach me to answer the phone) one was for another student they want to cram into the overflowing class(I offered an alternative) and another for an advise who waited until the first day of class to sign up. And the meeting we missed, they're going to try to shove it ALL in at the end of the day on wed. Sigh. just sigh.

The bad mood made me do something stupid. LIke email someone back with a this is a hoax thing but i know it won't be taken well. Usually i just delete that kind of thing but it's like wow, nice hateful untrue story being circulated. eh enough of that. i hate politics. passionately.

apparently the only kind of mouse killer you can get here is a) horrible steel traps b) poison

On the up side a former student gave me brownies. She made sure the nurses saved me one. that was sweet. And people really seemed to love that Pregnant Riza story so that made me very happy.



When did this become the 'Mei the pain in the ass Alchemist' I resented her getting as much if not more play as Ed and definitely Al. I hope Homunculus killed her. I'm not kidding. I hope she's dead. I hope I never have to see Mei Sue again. It's getting ridiculous

now that's off my chest I otherwise enjoyed this a lot.

1) Edward, please do be shutting up. IF Roy is faking, you harping on it wasn't fair for him to be blinded, that you couldn't even see HOW it would be possible if he didn't open the gate, you're going to blow it for him. We all agree with you, mind you. I know you're defending this with the passion of a teenager, which is a fearsome thing but don't make them suspicious enough to go poke his eyes out for good measure

2) Izumi please do something beside cuddle Roy (which is only making me think more and more you are his sister)

3) OMG Hoho's head popping out of Father's crotch DO NOT WANT.I'm never going to get that out of my brain.

4) Needs Winry. Needs Olivia Needs Ling Needs Riza (almost too many threads going on right now)

5) What the heck are the Ishbalans doing? That made me mighty curious

6) Scar...WOW. You're an alchemist. You're probably going to hell now. But it was cool

7) Bradley, you keep getting creepier. love it


two belated New year's resolutions

1) Read all fanfic within a week of printing or else i won't ever remember to review or even remember where i got it from even though I THINK I note that every time but i actually don't

2) Read and critique your writers group stuff during the 6 week interval. You keep waiting until a few days before it's due. It feels like a chore and you aren't enjoying anything you read (and probably doing a poor job of critiquing)

The Ishbalans are setting up the counter transmutation circle that Al, Mei and Marcoh designed. And I'm betting Scar is gonna set it off.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh that's right. I'd forgotten that. And yes Scar would be the only one left. him or Armstrong

I just have to say I really loved your review of 103 heehee.... expecially the HohenheimXHomuncrotch thing. Though, I do not share (nor understand at all) your murderous hatred of little Mei... I think she's darling in all her silliness.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I know. She'sjust a total Mary sue to me and the last several issues it's gotten so much worse.

but yeah the crotch th ing disturbed me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Armstrong would have to find them. Granted, from the sounds of battle, that might not be too difficult.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true. though he might be read in on this part of the plan...or not.I 've lost track

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Probably got wind of it from somewhere. And I can't imagine Olivia wouldn't share at least some pertinent info with her baby brother so he wouldn't make a fool of her.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

right. wasn't sure if SHE knew

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Izumi and she have been palling around...the brothers got word to Izumi...etc.

Clicks and *pats* I feel your pain (Aunt Flo is paying me an early visit). At least you have brownies :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they were good brownies

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good point and we don't know how much roy shared with her about his plans. we know some had to be shared

I so agree about Mei being a Mary Sue. Unless there's some mighty revelation at the end that explains everything, I don't really see any purpose for her at all in this story.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she's pretty classic Mary Sue, she does everything better than our heroes without help (takes down Chimeras, figures out how to undo the array with marginal help from Al (should have been AL who did that), can heal fatal wounds (though I'm glad not to lose Riza), I could see this from Hoho but not Mei)

One would think that almost everything would have to be put on the table for this to work but I'm reminded of the game "telephone" where you whisper something into someone's ear and that someone whispers into the next ear....

There's always a chance of miscommunication.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that could be...bad

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm. Yes.
