My list from yesterday defeated me. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. Still, every little check mark is an accomplishment. Plus I needed to clean the kitchen because it was driving me nuts. Okay, anything more than a dish or two drives me nuts but that is not the point! The point is, I had adult responsibilities to be responsible for. Because no one has yet invented self cleaning dishes and/or rooms.
Geniuses of the world, I am disappoint.
Yes! I have my two ordered patterns in now! Purses and plushies, here I come. First up will be my own custom pony as a...you know...experiment. Plus I want to see how amazingly cool a pony will look with a dragon for a cutie mark. Really, if I were a pony it would be that or my tattoo design.
I really want to go away for a little while. By myself, somewhere away from this apartment. I know we're going to Ohio next month but I'll be driving down with Heather and Katie and we're there for a purpose. It's a vacation, but not the kind I want. Bethany had a nice stay-cation where she didn't go too far, but she was away from home and got to spend time doing what she wanted. I want to find a place like that where I can just be away from here and write without worrying about keeping the house clean, making sure the chinchillas are cool enough, dealing with my needy cat, stopping what I'm doing when Heather gets home because she's a crazy maker. Which she'll admit to.
I realize this sounds like I'm complaining, but it's not meant to. I am blessed to be where I am and have what I have. Just saying some time away from all of it would be nice. Maybe once/if I start making money off custom made things I can figure out a good place to go. We'll see.
Plymouth church tonight! Hopefully Heather gets back from Car Repair Day in time for us to go. It's been too long and I miss everyone.
Suppose I should get ready for the day now. But first! I wasn't part of
equestriamlp when they started doing this so I've decided to do it here on my own. It's an MLP 100 day prompt meme that I'll do at my own pace and when I feel like it. Figured I'd start today. New friends and
mippa, feel free to chime in with your own thoughts. I know I can read your replies to the original prompt but thought your answers may have changed between then and now.
You know I have to say if you'd asked me this just a couple of weeks ago I would have said Fluttershy without a second thought. Her timidity drives some people crazy but I happen to think it's adorable. Possibly because I am a borderline genuine Fluttershy myself. She has a deep concern for everyone and doesn't want to be a burden or a bother. I find her meekness endearing.
But then I picked up Rainbow Dash for
mlp_twitter and my opinion changed. Granted, I probably play Dash a little softer than she is canonically (which I'm really trying to change, I swear!) but I've come to have a great appreciation for her. Yes, she's super competitive and lowers herself to cheating sometimes. True she often thinks about herself before any other pony. But the side of Dash that I love the most is the one that has such a powerful and fierce loyalty to her friends. She'll easily poke fun at any of them, but when it comes down to it she's there for them and will defend them with everything she has. I love that about her.
Favorite Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash moment:
