Last summer. since I left my job there I can't stand the food anymore.

When was the last time you watched a foreign movie?

The Secret History, Donna Tartt

Part of my list of books to get for the semester.

Reviving this thread to show this off:

my Dalek dress from Arisia this weekend. I got two awards in the Masquerade.

there was a lot of great cosplay there, check out the photo album (which, disclaimer, not my pictures) for some other really cool ones. One girl was Rainbow Dash, she was awesome.

You could outline it in Sharpie. It would be easier to make thin fine lines that way, yes?

That is how I got the detail lines on there already. Didn't think about using the same method for an outline. It could work.

Dark outlines might work, or you could go the other direction and not use dark lines at all and go for a level of simplicity.

That made it look like a giant blob, actually. That was my original plan.

I will do darker outlines if I ever get more money and can afford the paint, but otherwise I'm trying to find a good balance between totally outlined and weird blob shape.

Useless! I tried it myself - it kept asking me for a zipcode, for starters! Why would I want to foot the bill on to some poor innocent?

Thousands of people share zip codes. It's for demographics, not for billing.

My username was going to be an OC, but I never got around to creating her beyond the name.

Have you tried mixing the colors you have already? That might give you the color you need!

I tried, but all I have to make things darker is the black.

It doesn't work.

It might benefit from darkening the outline to give it some contrast -- I would use a darker pink for outlining her mane and tail, and a darker-shaded yellow for her body and for outlining her ear, body, face, and hooves. The bunny could be outlined with a light gray. Also try putting a little circle of white in her eyes or two to give them some reflectivity and depth.

The problem with that is that the darker shades aren't available to me. I have a limited budget and can't always find the right paint colors at my local craft store. It took a while just to find these colors.

I do agree about adding the spot of white on the pupil, I'll try that.

I made this for a friend.

Close up of Fluttershy

I got the image from one of the Dollar Tree coloring books.

I'm planning on making a Rainbow Dash one for myself, and I'm considering selling them if there's any interest, but right now it's just for fun.

I'm open to any critiques if anyone has something to say. I'm not a great artist, but this was fun to do.

Definitely need more accurate toys.

I like the idea of collector's edition toys for adults too, especially of some of the background ponies.

I don't think the show should change at all, because then it wouldn't be what we love. If they pander to us too much, it will be obvious and kind of terrible. Little jokes and shout outs in the background like they do now are fine, but having more adult humor just wouldn't work at all.

I was on Neopets. I needed this for a quest. It cost 90K.

Neopets is addicting.

how many of you guys count your nuggets? I usually get N+1 or better. I find it thought provoking.

We're supposed to count them every time, but in a rush we just shove them in the box and hope that it's about right. The scoop holds 4-5 nuggets, so we use that to estimate.

My main source of income right now is McDonald's.

True story: A guy asked me how many nuggets are in the 10-piece. He believed me when I said nine.

But I also work as a freelance content writer for a couple of websites. That's a cool job, because I set my own pace and don't have to leave my house to do it.

Panic! At the Disco

Muse

Fall Out Boy

Paramore

The Who

Bon Jovi

ABBA

Queen

I listen to a lot more, but these are the artists that I will love anything they have or will release.

I didn't even notice a change tbh.

I don't mind it. The only thing I really notice now is the notifications button being different, and it's good that it doesn't look like I have something waiting. that tricked me pretty much daily.

I have a severe fear of bees.

If I see one, I usually do go into a full-blown panic attack. Shaking, crying, hyperventilating, all that. I just cannot handle it.

Even seeing pictures of them, even cartoon bees, I feel shaky and uneasy.

It's so bad that during summer months, I'll avoid going outside to avoid the bees.

I've actually had a bit of therapy about this, but the fear will not go away.

I just watched Fanboys. excellent movie.

From Erectin' a river, 5 moves to get here.

The House Bunny.

Cheesy but I love it.

I'd like to see an episode where maybe something goes missing from Twilight's library, the Mane 6 each tell their own version of what happened.

It's kind of a cliche plot, but I love seeing it for some reason. It could be good.

Rarity's version would probably be like an old Hollywood movie with her as the star.

Pinkie Pie would see everything in bright colors with random candy everywhere and her view of the events would be very strange but accurate in a way that doesn't make sense to everyone right away.

Rainbow Dash would be like an action movie or a comic book.

Applejack's would be sepia-toned and look like an old Western, complete with the standard musical themes and she rides off into the sunset.

and Spike would have seen what happened and keep trying to tell his story but gets interrupted by the others. He'd probably have a film noir style.

-lose 2 more pants sizes

-finish making the Fluttershy tote bag I've been working on

-save up enough money to go on a real spring break trip for my senior year

Maybe around $30. I've gotten a couple of shirts for myself, some toys for a brony friend, and a few of the coloring books. I'm not big into the merchandise, but I like looking at it and occasionally see something I want.

I'm going out to California to be with my family.

We used to do this every Christmas, the big family thing, but then my aunt moved out to Nevada and my parents and I moved out to Massachusetts. So it's harder to get all together.

Oh I forgot about this.

The essay's done now. Thanks to all who replied.
