Stories and Geeks

Well, I am alive and well. I can't say too much seeing I am at work. Things are dwindling down FINALLY in my life I can devote more time to be a dork. ;)

Honestly, I can't say I know where to begin...I guess I could start fro where I left off. Right, yes I am a nurse now, been one for over a year. And the coolest part is I am a OR nurse, so I see dome awesome amazing stuff (hemmmmm, they gonna figure Edward's automail out I swear!). Bad news is I HAVEN'NT had a life as of yet. My state has made it a requirement that nurses get their BSN's. So I enrolled shortly after graduating nursing school. And have literally plowed through it this year. I graduate (AGAIN) in 6 weeks. I am so done after this. At least for a LONG while.

Well, I was sitting here working on my "million page" paper, and was like I need a break. I got on FB (but really dislike it there, otherwise let me humor myself) and thought "You know I wonder if LJ is still up and running-(actually I was thinking) I wonder if my LJ friends are OK, and hopefully don't hate me LOL" And then I got on here, and was hit by a wave of nostalgia. I MISS this, I miss having time for this. Because for a long time it was a big part of my life. I really need to make more time for fun stuff.

So things you've missed these last 2 years...(or might be interested in knowing)

Both of my kids are teenagers, and often I want to rip my hair out. But seriously, they are good kids...much better than me at their age.

I work ALOT and long shifts, but just recently changed jobs. YAY!

I also will be taking a teaching job to help nursing students pass their classes (Me and cornerofmadness can complain together, evilly exclaims.

I am going to be buying my first house EVER...eventually...like by end of this summer.

MY DOG PASSED AWAY OF 12 YEARS IN APRIL. I don't think I have cried so much in one time. It was so sudden, and I have to put him down because he was suffering terribly. I have his ashes and paw prints. He was my first dog I OWNED. He was with us since my kids were BABIES and how they are teens!

My awesome hedgehog, Winry turned 3, she's doing well and the sweetest, fattest thing ever...not to mention cute as hell.

I really want a white husky so I can name him INU-YASHA.

I still LOVE FULLMETAL and all fics written by evil_little_dog

I STILL LOVE INUYASHA

I am liking Tokyo Ghoul

I camped out all night with kids and ex for free comic book day, best and tiring moment in my life BUT worth it

My daughter has surpassed my drawling abilities, and can draw any anime character to a freakin tee, not to mention she reads fanfiction, comic books and LOVES anime. I HAVE SUCEEDED AS A PARENT! She also wants a white husky, but wants to name him Sesshomaru bc he's fluffy...or so she thinks.

My son is well, way better in math than I could ever be, but a moody teen.

I am still single, and will eventually be a crazy dog lady (though I have dated...and MEh to that)

I have recently had a possible disturbing dream related to Inuyasha...If you ask I might tell (and it's NC18 rated, whoah) IF you do ask you might be able to tell me my minds not as warped as I believe. SERIOUSLY JUST ASK TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF.

I am obsessed with mojitos. Period.

And I guess last but not least...I haven't changed a bit since becoming a nurse, I am still a geek and cheap.

Ok, so I should go back to my paper....right?

I am graduating from Nursing school on Monday! It's been a long 2 years and I can't tell you how much I cried during that time. It was the most HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life. I mean, it was TOTALLY worth it, but the road was long and hard. The hardest part I over, I will be taking ALL online classes for my MSN starting probably in the fall because my STUPID state requires nurses to have their BSN or higher. I already have my B.S. in Neuro-science. But a CONGRADULATIONS IS DEFINATELY IN ORDER FOR ME!!! I am so sorry I fell off the map for a bit, but I didn't forget you guys!

I am currently writing fanfic that I took a hiatus in for Nursing School, one a Post CoS fic called "speak easy" and another TMNT story. Am an so so so relieved to be done with school and return to my LIFE! OMG I can go out, have a few beers, SOCIALIZE! I can write and draw and do "big bangs" and everything. I am just so excited!

Glade back everyone, hope you all don't hate me.

So as a 90's kid, I was totally into this (and of course the new movie is coming out) I don't know how I feel about that. But I am pleased to see after 22 years I can still draw a damn turtle...Leonardo...



Actually I have improved tremdously...from being 8 years old :) But at that time I drew waaaaay better then my friends! And my favorite turtle is actually DONATELLO. My daughter wanted me to draw her favorite, so I did.


Who's your favorite turtle?

So I drew this for ishte "Chasing the Trail". You can also find it on AO3. Enjoy!

So as you all know my little baby Edward passed away December 26 2013. He had some strange type of hemophilia that caused him to bleed into his spinal cord. It's extremely rare. I loved him so much and he will never be forgotten! I refused to buy from the same breeder because my emails about Edward were never answered. His sister Bella, is also having problems... This is Bella:) She has a "thing" growing on her face in more recent pictures.



RIP Little buddy, my little brat:)

Sooooo Anyway I am getting a new baby, some time in June (probably mid-June) Meet Winry! She will never replace Edward, but it will be god to have another little friend. SHe's just a teeny tine baby!

So I am so happy it's summer! Well for me it is...I have busted my ASS off the last year and a half in Nursing school and my LAST SEMESTER is upon my (this fall). I fear that jobs might be hard to come by when I do graduate, the hospitals are cutting labor and budgeting like crazy. I can hope and pray to the Gods. Besides people always need Nurses. Some things to consider about me: I pretty much dislike everyone in my class. They are all young, stupid and naïve...OR they are all married and rich and their husbands take care of them (which makes me question why they are in school at all?) None of them WORK and are complaining that we have to do 40 hrs of clinicals the last 3 weeks of the fall semester. Sometimes I wonder about some of the students...I wouldn't want them being my nurses. I was like "I have worked 40hrs a week since I was 15). Alas, Nursing school has made me pretty much GREY, so I have been dying my hair super-jean-grey-red. I had to have it all cut off last year because I fried it with highlights, so now no more blond and I am growing out to my butt! I miss all my long hair. I am excited to complete nursing school finally and have a real job, and get the hell out of my house. I want to move from my state eventually (when the kiddos start college).

In other news, I can't believe that through all the work and busy life I have still found time to write and be a part of LJ and now (squees) AO3. I have been writing for a very long time and I do believe I have been a part of Lj for 7-8 years now! Woah! Time flies. I have been writing FMA for like forever! I still do! I never going to drop the fandom. I look forward to writing this summer and reading all the cool things you guys write...

FYI: I am absolutely TERRIBLE at beta-ing my work, I try really hard but I have one eye that actually works. I get just as annoyed when I see errors in something really good. But know it's not intentional, if there is something point it out nicely (which all of friends do) I just wanted to point that out, considering I have been posting stories like crazy:)

Cooked this up this morning, Happy mother's day!

Off to study (the rest of the day...joy)

( Collapse )

Enjoy~


“C’mon! Get up you two! We have a lot to do today!” Edward harshly whispered to his 2 stubborn children and throwing a pillow at his son.

“The suns not even up…” Sara whined, putting the pillow over her head.
Maes, the older of the two, pulled his blankets over his head. “Dad, what gives?” He groaned.

Edward pulled the blankets off the children’s bed. “Don’t you two know what today is? It’s mother’s day, and
I have some really cool stuff planned for her that I need you two to help me with. She’s your mother after all, so get up.”

Sara growled, reminding Ed just whose daughter she was. She sounded a lot like Winry. Maes got up first surprisingly, sitting up to rub the sleep out of his gold eyes.

“What are you planning dad? It’s not like we can give her flowers, she doesn’t like them. She’d rather have a new spanner and the general Store is closed on Sunday.”

Edward turned from the closet where he had pulled clothes for the kids to wear. “You mother doesn’t hate flowers, not the kind we’re gonna make.” Edward gave a toothy smile.

Sara understood. Her blue eye widened. “You mean we’re gonna make her a ring of flowers? With Alchemy? Like the kind you made for grandma Trishy?!”

Sara had the significant interest in alchemy. Even though she was only 7 yrs old, she had a firm grasp of the basics. Maes, at 9, like alchemy and was able to do it; but he seemed more interested in medical science. Edward would not be surprised if he decided to become a doctor, like his mother and his Uncle.

“Yup.”

Sara was up in a matter seconds, with Maes soon to follow. Edward led them down the hall, putting a finger over his lips, indicated that they needed to be quiet while they passed their mother’s room.

“You don’t want to wake her up this early, she’s like a dragon. Especially when she’s been at it all night with her gizmo’s.”

The kids nodded, knowing all too well that their mother wasn’t a morning person. They followed Edward into the kitchen where he had a large piece of paper on the table, with a simple alchemy circle. He couldn’t perform alchemy anymore, but he still knew the knowledge and he could still teach it.

“So we are gonna make her a nice breakfast, Granny is going to pick you guys up for an hour to take you down the market to get dinner for your mom tonight. Who wants to go first?”

Sara was ready with chalk in her fingers.



Winry moaned at the sensation of light pulling her eyelids open. She covered her face and rolled away from the source of the light coming from the curtains being drawn open. She was met with the happy gold eyes of her husband.

“Good morning, gear head.” He smiled. “I see you were up at it again weren’t you?” He pushed a few strands of hair from Winry’s sleepy, blue eyes.

“I had to…” Winry whined, with a pout present on her lips. “I was way behind.”

Ed touched her cheek, running warm fingers down her face. “Well, happy Mother’s day. Kids made you something real special.” Ed kissed her chastely on the lips.

“Kids! She’s awake!” He yelled. Winry narrowed her eyes. “Did you have to be so loud?”

Ed smirked. “It’s worth it, wait till you see.”

Winry sat up to see her kids come through the doorway. Maes held a tray of fried eggs, bacon, waffles (that Edward got a recipe on his travels) and a cup of streaming coffee. He looked so much like his father, sporting a face-splitting grin. Sara followed hold a ring of lovely purple lilacs.

“Happy mothers day mom!” They yelled in unison.

Winry almost teared up. “You made me breakfast in bed? And a ring of flowers?!”

Sara answered first. “Yeah, we cooked everything ourselves! Dad helped a little. I made you flowers with alchemy! Just like daddy did for Grandma!”

“I drew the circle to make them.” Maes interjected. Winry did finally feel tears running down her cheeks.

“Thank you.” She smiled as she took both of them into her arms. “Best mother’s day ever.” She added.

“Well, you can let go now, mom. We can’t breathe…and Granny is waiting for us.” Maes gasped.

Winry let go and suddenly went rigid. “Oh no, Granny’s pres-“

“I already gave to the old hag. She loved it, said it was the strongest metal they have out there, and that the screwdriver wouldn’t strip her srews anymore.” Ed stopped her, before she panicked.

The kids stopped at the doorway. “Alright we will see you soon mom! Enjoy your breakfast!” And with that they were gone.

Winry adjusted herself against some pillows, with her tray on her lap. Edward scooted next to her. Winry looked over at her husband, with a bewildered look on her face.

“What?” Ed smirked.

“You did all this for me?” She asked acting as if she was surprised.

“Why wouldn’t I?” He snorted. “I do stuff every event, anniversaries, holidays and stuff- you seem so shocked.” Ed scowled.

“Well, I mean… I know, it’s not that. You really went out of your way. And you did something that’s very close to home.” Oh great she was crying again.

“You showed them what you did for your mother, Edward.” She turned putting her hands on the sides of his face.

“She’s still with you Ed, through you. She’d be so proud of you.” Winry smiled. “Thank you, Ed. I do believe

I have the greatest husband ever.” She kissed him, longer than his kiss, and a little raunchier.
Edward smirked as she pulled away. “Well I guess that mean Al didn’t hog all her traits?”

“No he didn’t. Really Ed, thank you.”

Edward’s eyes darkened. “I guess your gonna want my mother’s day gift later by that kiss.” He wagged his eyes and pointed to the tent he sported.

Winry answered with another searing kiss. She loved the life Edward gave, without him she wouldn’t be a mother…And without Trisha, he wouldn’t be the man he was.

~Happy Mother’s Day~ 2014

So almost done clinicals for the semester, that makes me happy.

and then, I got an invite from AO3! I have to wait to finish my account-making process, but once that is done I can start posting my high rated stories, in which I took down from FF. I am sure I pissed a whole bunch of people off, but oh well, had to be done.

I am on AO3 now, you can find me as Ookami82;) I DID post 2 chapters of November, it wouldn't allow me to post any more...?
