Tasty Little 'obbitses...
Giih. If I don't get Return of the King: Extended Edition for Christmas I will explode. Then, whenever I manage to pick up my bits and pieces, I'll be off to buy it for myself.

I mean, it's been a holiday tradition for the past two years ... both my brother and I request (and get) the extended edition of each movie for Christmas. However, for whatever reason this year the release date is so much later that I fear my parents are done with their shopping. It's likely a trick that they're pulling to throw us off the scent (my mother absolutely delights in surprising me, since I've inherited my father's ability to scent out my gifts beforehand).

So, grr argh! There are only a handful of things I really want for Christmas (one out of the three I know I'm getting because damn, I bought it myself) so I hope that I get it.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I had two very peculiar and involved dreams last night. The first of which conjured up settings I hadn't visited in years. The Teardrop Islands, specificly the Isle of the Ninth Tear, domain of Fuhi the Wildcat and the bounty hunter Jeric Longcoat.

Talk about dredging up old memories! I haven't written nor really done anything with Blue Sky since my junior year in high school, so wow. Talk about coming from nowhere. Jeric was one of my favorite characters to write once ... he reminds me a lot of Kenshin now that I'm an otaku. He has that angsty, tragic past, a scar (on the left side of his face, no less), and a past that was about to collide with his present in the most violent of ways.

Wow, was it a surprise to see those guys again. Makes me wonder what happened to Gareon, Calamine and the crew of the Cloak of Darkness, the most fearsome rig ever to carve a path in the Teardrop Islands.

Good god, I am not writing any more on the Star of Xendor! STOP IT, ALL OF YOU! Stupid squirrels, and foxes, and wildcats... take your fights elsewhere!

The other interesting dream I had I will definitely be creative with. Essentially, take Fullmetal Alchemist, take out anything 'modern' really, and drop it squarely in 17th-century Japan. A lot of things were unexplained in my dream but I'm going to work out everything I can, because I think it would make an ... interesting ... 'fic.

Although, if I never have to see Roy as a Hijikata-ripoff again it will be TOO DAMN SOON. *shudders*

...does that make Ed Okita to Roy's Hijikata?

OH MY GOD BRAIN NO BAD IMAGES BAD IMAGES MAKE THEM STOP!
