Today was unusual in two minor, but notable ways.

1. I had a conversation with a stranger and did not panic. This hardly ever happens (both parts of it). Someone saw me reading my viking book on the bus and we ended up talking about medieval history and literature for a short while until he had to step off. It was very unusual, but nice. It's just

i've never been to one either bro
let's be con-less together ;~;

YUU LET'S GO TO A MY LITTLE PONY CONVENTION

[yuuago]

OKAY. LET'S GO.

... Though actually I expect MLP cons would be rather dull if one isn't into collecting the toys. :Va Though perhaps it'll change a bit now because of G4/FIM, idek.

look it's in kentucky let's go
it's not like you live in canada or anything

[yuuago]

NOT LIKE I LIVE IN CANADA OR ANYTHING.
Come to think of it, there's probably a Canadian version too, but eh.
(To be honest, in reality... though it might be fun to go to a pony con, the collectors' side of pony fandom frustrates/annoys me so much that I would be very reluctant to go to one of those things. Oh lord, you don't even know.)

[noonish]

there's a UK ver at least too omg
lmao i imagine the collectors might be terrible but think about custom workshops omg i bet those would be fascinating

omg why am i talking like i seriously want to customize my little ponies
oh lawd

[yuuago]

The collectors... well. A lot of them are Conservative women of a Certain Age. If you understand what I mean. So I can't stand a lot of them and the attitudes of a lot of them are what made me stop hanging around collector boards.

But anyway yes custom workshops would be so cool. I've actually customized a pony before -- though a lot of it was just repainting, as I was unable/unwilling to do any rehairing at the time. It's actually a lot of fun, and in some ways easier than it looks (... and in some ways harder than it looks)

[noonish]

aka they're uptight moms and grandmas rite yep

i think it'd be a lot of fun to do, learning about hair and stuff fjkdls ugh the internet makes me love crafts

[yuuago]

... yes. To be honest a lot of them remind me of my mother, and all the negative things that entails.

We should get together and customize some ponies. :)a I wouldn't be bothered to rehair, but painting them is fun, ahhh <3
