back when I used to watch Full Metal Alchemist, my mom would always ask why everyone was always so high strung. I'd tell her it was an animated show, the artists took the license to make everyone intense about everything.

she kept asking.

I told her they were japanese (even though the weren't), and thats just how they roll.

she asked why I was always so high strung. said I watched to much anime.

I told her I'm not high strung, I'm just japanese. that's how we roll.

she's left me alone every since.
