*Circus Announcer's Voice*
Welcome all to Elricbrothersfan's Blog! Just in case you were wondering, I'm Elricbrothersfan! Ha ha ha ha! This is my blog!

*Back to regular voice*
Yep. Kinda hope that was obvious and went without saying, but it's always nice to have it in writing.

Here's a little bit about myself:
Nickname(s): Elricbrothersfan, Elricz, Elri, El, Elricbros, Al, Elly, Anna (my IRL nickname that I forgot to add) (the list just keeps on growing, but I don't mind!)
Gender: female (Would all pervs please leave now. I don't want to have to start transmuting little prison cells all over the place here.)
Likes: Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (duh, that's why my screen name is Elricbrothersfan), Ouran High School Host Club, Naoki Urasawa's Monster, the Pokémon franchise, Soul Eater, crocheting, knitting, reading, friends, taking quizzes, anime and manga in general, making my own cosplay outfits (sorry, no pics), and it goes on...
Dislikes: pervs, slow internet connections (I regularly smack my laptop when it freezes up, aka all the time), preps (only because they're so... perfect, and I don't even compare), dogs that bark too much at all hours of the night and day (including my own adorable furballs), brussels sprouts (doesn't everyone hate them?)
TheO Friends (aka those that I have chatted with at some point and either subscribe to me, I subscribe to, or both/all, in no particular order): Keba Si Rota, Viollet, Spectre, IJNeptune, pandabearluv, sasusaku 4ever, dragonseiryuka, Blindloverr713, ultramaniaclover, Immortal Queen, TheDarkEclipse, AnnieSquiggle, FrAiSe TaRte, Strawhats Luffy, copycatkid, Manga Kid, chichi6, fuko chan, zxJohnFanime91xz, Inphinity, DemonsandAngels, Zuzu Uchiha, raven1995, somegirl, moletta, Angel, willotaku, fanglord, Linku-kun, infinatelove42, 36inc, sweetboy96
Enemies: none other than my laptop, and if you read above you'd know why
Cosplay: Edward Elric (Which, technically, is crossplay, plus I'm not blond, so... yeah, it was weird), currently growing my hair out to do a Conqueror of Shamballa version of Alphonse (I'm too frugal to buy a wig, plus my hair's just the right color, haha).

~Elricz (It's me, so don't freak out and think someone stole my blog! I listed Elricz as one of my nicknames so... read and don't freak. Which almost rhymes.)

Some of my favorite quotes:
"When I was a kid, I said to my father one afternoon, 'Daddy, will you take me to the zoo' He answered, 'If the zoo wants you, let them come and get you.'" ~Jerry Lewis

"一期一会" (Ichigoichie, each moment only once) ~Japanese Proverb

"He who laughs first, laughs last." ~ French proverb

"I don't know how to deal with [...]" ~ Crona from Soul Eater

Okay, there are more, but I can't remember where I got them from. So I'll add them later.

A Dime A Dozen / Not Forgotten!

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been on lately. I was crazy exhausted after my dance concert. It was amazingly fun! Even though our baseball championship game was the same night, we still had over 200 people come out and watch. Saturday night resulted in more people than Friday. And after the Saturday show, my Dad surprised me with a dozen red roses.

Yep... Good ole Dad. Awkward much?! JK, I loved them so much and thought it was so sweet of him to get me flowers. So that's where the first title comes from.

Now, I haven't forgotten the people that made requests! I promise I haven't. I've just been so busy lately... Okay, busy for a while... And haven't really had any feedback time to draw. At all. God willing, I'm gonna do them Monday on my day off from school.

Gotta jet for now.... Have to study for my English EOC tomorrow.

Ciao dears <3

Of Course I Forget the Awesome Title...

and end up putting that. Stupid brain fart... -m-

Anyways! I hope you've seen my Challenge, Movie Night! I'm super excited to host my very first Challenge! I invited as many people as I could think of, but I hope a lot of other people participate!

I'm also excited about my dance concert tomorrow night (and Saturday too)... we had a dress rehearsal today and we got our costumes. I'm wearing a purple, ruffled tank, but we also had turquoise and red ones. I decided to take my glasses off during practice so that they wouldn't go flying (as they have a tendency to do so). The one advantage to being blind for the most part is that I can't see the audience. Haha!

Because of the spotlights, my teacher told us we absolutely have to wear some kind of eye and lip makeup. Not too happy about that myself... but I digress. Just have this uneasiness with makeup... *Elricz thinks she is therefore not a girl* I don't know... I'm getting used to the concept of wearing eyeliner (to my own chagrin), but the leap from using just a little bit of eyeliner to having to wear eyeshadow and lipstick is a bit too big for me. Yet I still manage to suck it up and wear the stuff amidst personal angst... rawr! *is making herself confused*

I've noticed that there's a very distinct difference from Art Block and Selective Art Blockage. I had to deal with some very serious and personal crap the other day, and I figured if I drew something (like Curtis/Christoph from Black/White 2) that would cheer me up, but I couldn't even pick up the pencil. I just didn't want to... and that made me even more upset. Art Block is just when I pick up the pencil and want to draw a bazillion things at once.

Weeelll... I must get going. Gotta shower, do my hair, whatnots... blah blah blah.

Ciao, my dears <3 I shall tell you how the shows went on Saturday evening/very early Sunday morning. I think I'm gonna get up for Pokemon and Soul Eater... just 'cuz.

Cones, Cash, and Choreography

Oh boy... where to start.

My dog got an ingrown nail that had to be surgically removed... she's fine now, but we had to cone her to keep her from chewing at the bandaid. Even though she's technically my grandma's dog, I felt so bad that she had to go through this. She's my sweet little baby, and I felt like an abusive dog owner (well, technically not legally owner) and was afraid the vet would read my grandma the riot act. Surprisingly, the vet was pretty chill about it. She basically said, It just happens sometimes, you know?

On a good note... my friends are commissioning me for real! Forgot to check with them to see if it's okay to post them here for you guys to see (gonna do that Monday). Now I get to do a drawing of Kid Link surrounded by icons representing all the different games he's been in. So yay for pocket money!
I was planning on using that money to buy my grandma a Mother's Day present, but my friends couldn't all pay me this week.

Plus, my dance class is almost done with photographing choreographing (stupid auto-correct -m-) our dance for my high school Spring Concert. My brain is on choreography overload, and I don't even have a big enough space at home to practice. Rawr!

Gotta go cone Rosie again... ciao guys!

PROMOTION!!!

Sorry for the shouting, but I'm really stoked about getting promoted to Otakuite++! I've been waiting for this for a long time. I can't believe I get to host challenges now!

I promise I'll stop neglecting my requests. I'm in the process of getting paid for the commissions I got from my friends, and shipping the cranes off to Boston. I'll shoot for getting half of them done by Friday, I promise! I hate making everyone wait forever for their requests.

Gonna have to cut it short for now; I'm writing this on my dad's PlayBook again and my hands are killing me from the typing angle. I will say that I probably won't be posting on May 17th because I have a dance concert that night, but I'll make a post that Thursday so you guys have something to read from me. Gotta go rehearse the choreography right now!

Ciao, dears!
