I saw a lot on mentions of them on /mlp/ too and looked them up. Rooted in Buddhism and other heavily spiritualist belief systems. Which surprised me because I've read several books on Buddhism and not come across the term, but Buddhism was forefront in the explanations I saw.

I appreciate the offer, but I want to stick with something simple.

Very epic! Makes my planned costume look sad by comparison. (all it requires is 5 paper bags and a drain stopper. )

That's the one, and I agree! And flutterscotch hit it I think. He's the same way with Link and the Zelda games in general. If only he would remember what chores I gave him that well!

We're here for you. I understand the whole -not being able to talk to those close- issue. Sometimes you just need to talk things out with somepony that is separate from the situation too.

So I am in the last stretch of self publishing my book and I need to decide if I should use a pen name. It's a short novel about a colonial girl turned vampire when she was 13. I just don't know if my real name (Jeremy) will flow well with the genre/subject. Debating a female pen name considering. Or a name I don't hate as much as I do my own.

↑↑↑ Pretty well nailed it for me too! ↑↑↑

Appliance, I am terrified to mention real world politics on the internet! Thar be windigos in those waters.

Maybe it's just that normal for Rainbow Dash to crash into things in Ponyville. She probably has a special liability policy. Rumor has it that she can afford it.

Very cool. Been good reading your posts.

Very cool!

Not much to say. As one of the (few?) that see Princess Celestial as a benevolent ruler as opposed to a troll or a tyrant as the internet likes to paint her I would so trade our current cycle of hate and slander for a few years of her in the White House. Imagine that NATO meeting!

SHHH!! We aren't supposed to "ask" who he had voice these!!!!!

she gave us this: There is a whole series of these if anypony hasn't seen them!

Gorgeous! http://antiander.deviantart.com/art/Sonne-327495565

My boys are big fans of both. They've been watching Pokemon since they were too young to talk! They've come and gone with it over the years, but it's always there. I liked it early on, but at some point in there I started to feel like it got ridiculous. Or I got old. Not sure there...

Thanks for the concern guys. Well, he's strange and we know that and have had to deal with it being an issue at school school from time to time. But that's another issue. He got into the show because I watch it, but he's not anywhere near obsession levels. Not like it's been with Pokemon or Legend of Zelda... He just had a knack for remembering things that aren't what his mother and I say to him.

I finally broke down and downloaded the FiM soundboard for my phone. (It's neat by the way!) And I was playing with it and my 12 year old sons were guessing the ponies from the sounds. One of them dropped out after the mane ones were done, the other was able to name every pony but 2. This is including background ponies that only had a single speaking line in the show. Sometimes he didn't know their name, but he could describe them and say who they were with. My brony impulse is to be be proud, but as a father it's kinda scary.

We went to a Toys 'R Us in the neighboring state and I found wave 3 blind bags!!!! First time I have ever seen them in real life. Thanks to the wonders of smart phones and the interwebs I now have a Lyra and Big Mac! Double YAY! for blind-bag decoding. It's amazing how much of a difference there is in stock within chain stores relatively close together.

I've been feeling discouraged about writing lately. The urge is strong but there just aren't words there to write. I've never had this happen before. I've had spells where I didn't feel like writing, and there was no way I could do it when I felt like that. Even with a project, if the spark wasn't there I couldn't make something happen. But I've never had the spark and nothing to write. I decided to start a blog to post some of the more ridiculous events I've been a part of/responsible for when I was younger. I did some crazy things, some of which people don't believe when they hear about them. I figured it's something to do. And I clicked on the link to put ads on my blog where you get fractions of cents per click. And was rejected. I was rejected by a place wanting to put ads on the internet. Rejection is part of trying to do something with writing. I know this is true, just not sure if I'm prepared to deal with it right now.

Reminds me of the "he will knock four times" bit from Dr. Who.

And it's perfect that the CMCs are the wolfman, Dracula and (the bride of) Frankenstein! Where are Abbott and Costello?

I work in maintenance in a printing plant. Since it's a dying industry there is no desire to spend money which makes keeping the machines running harder. So 2 days with unplanned overtime later and we have a press installed in 1968, and it's original electronics, limping along. Not to mention they had 11 techs when I started. There are 4 now. /rant

I need to find a new job. And I need to get a grip.
