Stanford unversity says the universe is partially made up of dark matter and dark energy.

The world is becoming SailorMoon-i-fied after all.

Moving on...

My bittorrent of Full Metal Alchemist, season 1, is at 52% after two days of continuous downloading. I wish it would go faster.

Read This Fic

It has very vague spoilers up to the chunnin exams (because of the appearance of Gaara and all the rookie genins, and a big Shikamaru spoiler that was kinda obvious anyway to anyone saw his fight with Temari), but it generally fits any timeline. Because it's a spoof that doesn't really rely on continuity.

But it's one of the funniest freakin' fics I've ever read for any fandom.

Some of my favorite quotes:

“How about we pretend that just for one second that I’m going to actually let you go off and spend Sasuke’s evil brother’s wallet? What do you think he’ll do once he finds out that you spent his money and his frequent buyer’s card?”

“What sort of fruit does Shikamaru’s head most resemble?”

“My evil uncle.”
“Your uncle?”
“Yes, Hinata’s father.” Neji replied.
“Oh, Hinata’s father.” Said Sasuke, nodding his head. “Yeah, and I suppose Hinata’s father is on the same level of evilness as Orochimaru.”

“GOD?!” Lee yelled. “I WAS SHOT BY GOD!!! SAKURA!! I WAS SHOT BY GOD!! GOD SHOT ME!!!”

“I guess we can assume that Lee and Neji are a lot less competent than we originally ORIGINALLY assumed.”

“Frankly, Iruka, I thought you were going to lose it once he shot down your jokes but then I saw you look underneath the underneath and I was all like… man, he has to be in our club.”

So the next person that came to the door was… SHINO’S DAD! And he will be known as Auron. (
You kinda had to have played FFX to get this, but it cracks me up)

“I understand.” Said Shino. “I never tell them anything. I’m more anti-social than Sasuke.”
“No, I am.” Said Sasuke as he tried to be even more anti-social. Sasuke knew he was better than Shino. Even at something so ludicrous of who was more anti-social.

Me. Cars. Interesting thing happening there.

On most normal days I typically go through a wider range of emotional states while driving than in any other activity.

Put more simply, stick me behind the wheel and I become an emotional basketcase.

I don't know what it is about driving a car that makes me go from being impassioned by music at unheard of decibles to laughing in delight as I turn corners to literally crying out of frustration and practically punching the stereo and wantign to pull over and just SCREAM.

I can go through all that in one driving session. I vascilate between extremes. It's exhausting.

I don't know why I get so upset. Is it the enclosed environment? Is it all the different things demanding your attention at once? I'm not a bad driver; on the whole I'd say I was about average, meaning I'm attentive, quick to respond, but not completely perfect. So why does a little mistake while driving make me want to literally tear the fabric off the interior?

I'm not exaggerating. Sometimes if I get upset I have to pull over because it takes all my power not to do violence to something around me-- that or break down in sobs. And all it takes is for me to miss a freeway exist, then to try to get back but to miss the turn again or to make the wrong assumption about where to go. And pretty soon I've screwed up six times and even as I try to fix it I just get more and more late to my destination, and I only have myself to blame, until my emotions go haywire and I look like someone whose lifelong pet just died. When I could have been singing happily only minutes before.

It's like, when I'm in a car by myself, whatever enzyme in brain that allows me some sovereignty over my emotional spectrum simply ceases to be pumped into my bloodstream.

My mom says she gets like that occasionally, but it's hard to judge from her response if it feels as strong to her as it does to me. Maybe its hereditary. That would be nice, because then it wouldn't be my fault; it would be those evil genetics.
