So I've told this story before, and Orlando said I should just go ahead and post it as a journal.

Here it goes.

Holy. Crap. I have never. Seen. A greater. Infestation. Of. Rednecks. !.

I just got back from a road trip to a place I didn't know could exist. A place more full of camouflage wearing, tobacco chewing, banjo playing, gun toting, church going PEOPLE than where I live now.

Let me paint a picture. We're standing on a roofed deck outside, waiting to catch a train to see the mountain scenery for four hours. I'm trying to look happy, and excited, because I've never been on a train before. This is a hard thing to accomplish.

Not only is it raining, not only is it crowded, not only is everyone taller than me...but there are church pews set up at the end of the deck where stereotypical redneck, back-country families are sitting and SINGING along to the banjo/guitar/that really tall violin i forget the name of it band that is playing spirituals and peddling CDs.

Apparently they sold enough to buy a nice loud speaker system.

But no. Oh no. It's not over. This isn't the part that gets me. Oh it gets to me but it's not the clincher. It's not the reason my face was contorted in a grimace.

Two words.
The children.

THE CHILDREN. The under 15 age group. Yeah. Those children. There's a 13 year old boy walking around this place in a full blown camouflage suit. He's got his hunting boots on, he's got the baggy pants, the "you're not suppose to even be wearing this yet you idiot posing-!" over sized camouflage shirt and the damn matching hat, strutting around the people with his matching FATHER chewing gum like it's tobacco and staring at people like they were below him.

...

Okay, so how wrong would it have been to have just randomly punched that kid? I mean, just started beating the hell out of him? I felt like it. I don't even know why.I was just snapping mentally under the stress of the third chorus of "I wish I was a mole in the ground".

... But back to the story. Because this kid's got a brother. And he's the less favorite brother, because he doesn't have a nice fancy jump suit and boots. What he does have, is a trash bag. And he's cut nice little arm holes in this trash bag, and he is walking around just like his brother, only I bet he felt more badass for being out in public with a trash bag for a rain jacket on.

The feeling just comes with the trashbag.

And at this point I'm struggling to remember why I'm here, all I can think about is how random it would be to just assault one of those two...That's when the clinchers shuffle into view.

Two boys, pudgy, white, buzz cut, look of bare comprehensions stuck to their faces...Just the stereotypical boys that grow up into the men that actually buy those shirts where a woman is riding a john deer in a thong into the horizon...

G.A.P.
That's what's written on this boys hat. G.A.P.

God. Answers. Prayers.
That's under G.A.P.

And when he turns around, across the velcro adjustable strap, I <3 Jesus.

I actually cringed. I actually felt the need to gag.
Guess who rode with us in our Train car?
~~~

So yeah. That was the story. The train ride wasn't that bad, it was really relaxing and I wanted to sleep but my grandmother forbid it.

I'm back now. I drew a couple of things I might post. They were lazy and everything but I got a lot of ideas in the car of things to draw later when I had patience so hopefully those'll show up sometime in the future.

I have just recently begun to watch Brotherhood, the sexiest anime I've seen in a long time. I seriously could not get over. The complete. Sexiness...of the opening. Gah. It's GORGEOUS. Its like Arakawa's paintings!!!!

Best of all the japanese roles are being filled by the same people. So My Edo is still Edo. YES. Hopefully the english dub will come out before too long with VIC. Oh my god.

So yeah Brotherhood. Funimation has bought the rights and has subbed a couple of episodes on their website, so hell YES. Vic says that nothing's set in stone, and that he might not get the role but there would be a huge uproar if he didn't. What should really worry fans is the return of Aaron Dismuke, since his voice changed and he's no longer prepubescent and cute. (PFT. Al. Cute? NO.)

What's also exciting about Brotherhood is that it will respark the love of FMA. When I first got into it, the series was dying down. It was about it's 3rd repeat on Adult Swim and most of the hardcore fans were already losing the benefits of merchandise, news, etc etc.

BUT NO LONGER. Already I've seen a revamp of FMA stuff in random stores. Especially gift cards with Ed's face on them x.x They're free if you don't put any money on them right?!??!?!

Posters, magazines...Stuff like that. It's coming back. And I shall have to make my shrine bigger. And better.

Btw, on the note of pointless merchandise created only for the obsessed fanbase, has anyone seen the Twilight Trading Card game? I'm not even kidding. Check for em the next time you're in a place like F.Y.E.

[Edit] Here. Proof. [link]

Edward lvl 1
Attracts substance-less human girls with large fangs.
Useless in gameplay, except to look good.

More FMA news. Volume 19 makes me anxious and worried for Edward's overall well being at the end of the series. X.X NU!!!!

My Chemical Romance's new album is fast approaching. Maybe it'll be out in time for an early Christmas present?!?!?! O__O Or a "here just a gift cuz I know you're a spaz" present?

That's pretty much their blog site, they update randomly and most of the stuff they write when not busy is hilarious.
If you actually take the time and look through the site, which you won't, shut up Steven, you'll also notice that they're having a CONCERT. IN JAPAN. SOON. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

So they Japanese will be blessed with their first announced concert after the Black Parade, as well as their new songs. When will they begin their new tour in America? Who. Knows.

I already know the band's days are numbered. They're all married and Gerard has a new daughter. Dammit. But I swear on my concert virginity, MCR will be my first. Maybe even my last.

If it gets too bad I might even be hopping a plane to Tokyo and the Kyoto...

Oh well. So yeah. Those are the things I've been thinking bout recently. I'll either update this or delete it soon. lol

[OH AND~!] Gerard Way and Vic Mignogna both reside in L.A. *twitches*
