Don't You Know Me Kansas City?

[said_scarlett]

I am safe and sound! And crashed insanely early last night, due to being awake for a very long time and wiped out from traveling. I didn't even bother with my 'Funny Travel Stories' last night. And honestly, most are just frustrating, but one is funny.

Alright, I'm used to the Southwest Terminal, and the Southwest Staff. Who don't try to strike up a conversation or play 'I'm your friend!' with me. They do their job, wheel me to the gate, and then leave me. These ones? They kept talking to me. And apparently the only thing that could think to ask me about was my Fullmetal Alchemist bag. Which led to first me trying to explain anime to this tiny old wheelchair attendant, which in itself was hilarious. Then there was The Really Not Brigh Flight attendant who just saw my necklace and asked if the flamel symbol had religious symbolism. So I said no, it's actually and alchemical symbol, and was starting to go on to explain it's a symbol featured prominently in a television series I like, when the flight attendant talked over me and asked, in all seriousness:

"Oh! I know what that is! So are you an alchemist? Are you headed to an alchemy convention or something?"

I found myself stunned and unable to respond. I think I just mumbled no and prayed that someone used their call button so she would go away from me. I was asked if I was an alchemist. Wow.

And also, there is nothing sweeter than 'five unsecure wireless networks in your range'.

Take care everyone!

=) I always thought you were an alchemist... Just kidding.

You mean you're not an alchemist? *unfriends immediately* Hee :D

Glad you're safe and sound!

Haha! That's funny. What next... do I get accused of looking like "Vash the Stampede". Oh yeah I already get that.

Yes, I find the people at airports to be very interesting. I remember when I was taking a flight out-west... I did just fine until I got to the security screen-ers. Practically everything I was wearing went off, my hat, my shoes, my belt, my shirt and when they got to my pants... I'm like "I'm sorry I'm not taking my pants off." Maybe next time I should go in my boxers. Lol.

Hahaha! That wins. You win! It would have been so funny if you were like, yes, yes I am. We're going to make the philosopher's stone. Wanna come and help?

Hehehe, that is so incredibly funny! I wish someone would mistake me for an alchemist! XD

I was wondering, have you read the the 'Letters to Amestris' yet? They were published by BONES in a magazine last September and they covered the events of what happened after the movie:

The one to Roy is really funny! I liked the one to Scar too, but it made me kind of nervous... because it seemed like the Scar and Lust Ed and Al met at the end of the movie really were completely different people that just looked like them... and all this time I thought they got a happy ending! Well if that's the case, my FL layout is ruined. lol.

Hope you had a fun trip! ^_^

Clearly I ought to take up the profession.... :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking I totally should be now. :D

Thanks!

I mostly get told I look like a Disney Princess. It's mildly disturbing.

I get lucky when it comes to the security check point, since I don't walk through the thing. I'm disabled, so I'm in a wheelchair, so they use a handheld on me. I never have to take anything off, it's awesome! :D

Because, yea... I'd probably have to take off the shirt and the pants, too. :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I get asked the same thing on the way back, I'm totally just going to say yes.

But I need a State Alchemist title! :D
