East Coast Trip

Maybe I've been in love with him from a long time ago

-Winry Rockbell, Full Metal Alchemist

I visited Brown and Tufts in two days, was harassed by an unending stream of relatives, friends of family and my mother and now I'm back. The sad thing is that I'm so tired that I don't have much to say, except that Brown reminds me so much of St.Pauls, but that might only be because it's in New England. But I don't have time to be nostalgic right now, I have catch up work to do.

The only other memorable part of the trip was when I stopped off in Boston and randomly bought the three most recent books (in english) of the Full Metal Alchemist Series. I lost most of my interest in anime/manga about 3 years ago when I finished watching the fma anime, but I still collect the books. Something about the bittersweet side relationship of Winry and Ed draw my interest.

I never thought I'd be one that likes angst, but in this series it's appropriate. I've already watched the anime, the second movie and I know the ultimate ending, but I'm still almost addicted to the series. I'm not sure why, but it's a welcome distraction when I have a huge mound of applications and Cell Biology homework still left to do.

I still can't believe that the end of the movie is the end of any chance for Winry and Ed to see each other again. I've always liked happily ever afters, but sad endings are always so much easier to believe then happy ones. I know their relationship isn't even close to the focal point of the series, but I still dislike the ending ._. The end of both the movie and the anime made me cry.
