Don’t Wanna

You.

Me?

Yes, you. Get off your lazy ass and write a post.

I don’t wanna.

And I don’t want to be trapped in this…whatever this is that you’re doing at this point in your life. You promised to post. So post. It’s been a week since you last posted.

One of those days don’t count — we had a cable outage. No Internet or TV. For 12 hours! I was almost convinced it was a terrorist attack.

And what did you do with the other 12 hours in that day?

Ummm…

And haven’t you heard of a little thing called 3G?

Uhhh…

Post.

You can’t tell me what to do!

Yes I can. I have muscle now.

What?

20120120-214928.jpg

This is ridiculous.

No, this is ridiculous.

20120120-215044.jpg

All right, all right! I’ll post.

Three days in a row.

What? But I’m sick!

When are you not?

Touché.

Post or I’ll tell them what you’ve REALLY been doing.

You wouldn’t.

Try me.

I don’t care. I’m not ashamed.

You sure about that? I mean, ponies are one thing, but this…

Fine. Just keep your mouth shut.

I always do. I’m wearing a helmet, after all.

Then how do you talk?

I’m not quite sure.

Friday the 13th

Posted on January 13, 2012 by

I love Friday the 13ths. I really do. They always turn out to be a pretty good day for me, and today was no exception.

I wasn’t planning on it at all, but today I ended up launching a forum! It’s really just a little place for the gamers/nerds I know to hang out and discuss nerdy stuff…as much as I love my usual hangouts, there’s just not enough nerd for me on a daily basis. And most popular sci-fi websites and message boards have a very prominent MALE population…and it just gets tiring, being a female nerd sometime.

One of my new forum members said it best, “It’s so nice to have a little corner to get away from all the misogynistic crap.” It’s not a fancy forum, or even a good one, but I hope pretty/nerdy will eventually become that for a nice handful or two of people.

Escape!

Posted on January 10, 2012 by

20120109-220021.jpg

Here we are!

Finally.

You didn’t like the jumping? I like the jumping! Best way to handle stairs!

I thought all you ponies flew.

Just the Pegasi! I’m an earth pony — we jump!

I figured that out, thanks. Onward!

Onward where?

Through the door!

But it’s shut.

So open it.

OK!…how?

…I thought all you ponies had magic.

Just the unicorns! I’m an earth pony, I…

Jump. Yes. I know.

20120110-231927.jpg

So now what? Back upstairs?

No! I’m escaping. We’re so close! I just need a way to open the door.

Why don’t you ask the unicorns?

BACK into enemy territory? Don’t be stupid.

Don’t be mean! Ask the unicorns here. Nicely.

There are unicorns here?

20120110-232322.jpg

Hiiiiiiiiiii!

20120110-232358.jpg

That’s just wrong. Useful, but wrong.

20120110-232508.jpg

Hi-ho, silver! Away!

My name is Plumsweet.

My apologies. Hi-ho, Plumsweet! Away!

It’s cold.

It’s nothing. Onward!

I mean, like, REALLY cold.

…

…

You want to go back, don’t you?

Look, I know we had a bet, and I lost, but I’m pretty sure “indentured servitude for life” is a bit harsh for losing a round of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Shoot, too bad we’re not upstairs, we could have double-checked the rules online.

There’s a computer in the office. The next room.

…

Right there.

…best two out of three?

Off.

20120110-233230.jpg

Fine. I don’t need any stupid pony. I’ll make it on my own. Freedom! Freedom! It’s…

20120110-234436.jpg

What fresh hell is this!?

20120110-234532.jpg

No matter. Escape! Onward!

20120110-234627.jpg

***thunk***

…ow.

20120110-234753.jpg

There you are! What are you doing out here?

Escaping. Go away.

Oh, it’s too cold to escape tonight. Why don’t you come on back inside?

No! I will escape or die trying!

…I’ll make you some hot chocolate from the Keurig.

…

…

…oh, all right.

20120110-235150.jpg

It’s ok, little buddy. You can always escape some other time. Now, do you like the dark chocolate or the milk chocolate?

The Evolution Of A Room

Posted on January 8, 2012 by

First, it was crowded, but clean…ish.

Then it started getting a little messy, since I was hiding Christmas presents in there.

Then it was my birthday!

Then it was Christmas.

Finally, I tore through every closest, drawer, box, and trunk looking for things to donate to Goodwill.

On the upside…you don’t have to vacuum if you can’t see the floor.

The Travels Of Tiny Halo Guy

Posted on January 5, 2012 by

Two whole days off from the blog, whoo hoo! But not really. I’ve been MIA because my old root canal is flaring up, so there hasn’t been much to talk about.

But apparently, on Day Three of constant, dull, never-ending face pain, your imagination kicks into overdrive.

Now every shelf of my bookcases is its own little separate land, with inhabitants, customs, laws, and lore of its own.

And Tiny Halo Guy, in his never-ending quest to escape, has visited a couple of them today.

First, he visited the Silver Guardian of the Top Rightmost Bookshelf, protector of the Purple Bubble Ball.

20120106-001850.jpg

What do you seek, small one?

How to get out of here, duh.

I happen to like it here.

Of course you do. It’s like a demented pony sanctuary.

I deny your request.

Oh, come on!

Oh, fine. Do you have all your paperwork?

20120106-002335.jpg

Don’t get fingerprints on my ball.

*snort*

Ugh, you’re so crude. See anything?

Yes…it’s my dead great-aunt! She’s telling me I’m wasting my time.

Get out.

Wait! Where should I go?

Try Fantasy Shelf #1.

20120106-003244.jpg

That jerk. He sent me to The Land Of Cannibal Unicorns.

Today I Found A New Best Friend

Posted on January 2, 2012 by

20120103-004715.jpg

But besides searing tooth pain that made me break out in a cold sweat and maybe made me cry a little, good things happened today. Mom and I watched The King’s Speech (fantastic movie, my third time seeing it, it never gets old) and Miss Potter (so sweet! So adorable!).

And I found Fashion Style Twilight Sparkle at Target.

No, it doesn’t matter how much pain I’m in, if I’m at Target, I’m checking the pony section! I’ve been looking for this one for about six weeks. She’s the last one I need to complete my Fashion Style set.

See, first I had gotten Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash from Hasbro Toy Shop, back when the 20% off and free shipping code still worked.

20120103-005425.jpg

Then I got Fluttershy and Rarity when Toys R Us was Buy One Get One Free on MLP items. (And you know I got free shipping, too.)

20120103-005602.jpg

The Luna and Celestia set I got for Christmas.

20120103-005653.jpg

And these two gave me the most trouble.

20120103-010230.jpg

I couldn’t find Applejack anywhere because she came out earlier this year. I ordered her from Kmart but they sent me a Rarity instead. (We donated her to Toys For Tots.) I ended up ordering her from Amazon for over retail — grrrrrrr! I hate that. Free two-day shipping, though. And Twilight Sparkle has been tempting me for WEEKS online, but I knew if I resisted she would end up at Target eventually. And she did!

But this is the pride and joy of my collection.

20120103-010318.jpg

Fashion Style Earth Pony Rainbow Dash. She’s a factory error, since Rainbow Dash has wings! But I like her better this way. She’s like Rainbow Dash’s kinder, sweeter, gentler cousin. And I love her bouncy curls! No box hair for this girl.

So yay! I have all the official Fashion Style G4 ponies!

20120103-010625.jpg

Now I can open them! I have no idea why I was waiting to have them all before I deboxed them…maybe I thought they would be lonely? I have no clue. And as much as I would love to be a Mint In Box/New In Box collector, I just don’t have the room. They’ll take up SO much less space loose. I just need to find a nice bag to keep all their accessories in.

(And by ‘nice bag’, I mean ‘ziploc baggie’.)

Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2012 by

20120102-002801.jpg

Tiny Halo Guy: I thought you weren’t going to post every day anymore.

Well, it’s turned into a habit. I couldn’t relax and go to sleep. I thought maybe it was because I hadn’t posted yet.

Tiny Halo Guy: You’re pathetic. Why am I here?

Apparently, people like you. Which is ironic, since I know that you would kill them all if you could. Want to hear some more of my New Year’s resolutions?

Tiny Halo Guy: No.

Besides the usual, you know, lose weight, save money, blah blah blah, I’m also going to get back into gaming, art/crafting, and nail polish. I’m also going to be more social, both online and in real life.

Oh, and I’m going to write down productive things I do in this planner.

20120102-003400.jpg

Tiny Halo Guy: I don’t think you understand how a planner is supposed to work.

I think it will be good for my self-esteem. Instead of focusing on the things I wanted to do that didn’t get done, I’ll focus on what I DID accomplish. Then instead of thinking, “oh, I wasted my day/week/month/life”, I can go back and see the good I’ve done.

Tiny Halo Guy: And what will you write down for today?

Well, I worked on my room, washed my hair, ate oatmeal, and didn’t buy anything.

Tiny Halo Guy: Really.

Hey, I’m disabled. I take my victories when I can. And I’m trying to wean myself off retail therapy. At least I HAVE resolutions.

Tiny Halo Guy: I have a resolution! I’m going to escape from you.

Really.

Tiny Halo Guy: Yes! You made a mistake – I found the spaceship!

20120102-004219.jpg

Tiny Halo Guy: Soon I will find it and be free!

You know what? I can’t keep you here if you don’t like it. I’ll get the ship.

Tiny Halo Guy: Really?

Sure. Here you go.

20120102-004416.jpg

Tiny Halo Guy: :(

Sorry, buddy. And I just donated the Star Wars ships my ex gave me yesterday! You would totally have fit into one of those. Maybe next time.
