My Little Pony

It's not... that... horrible...

*Runs away covering face.*

*Is pushed back to blog by certain someones who will remain unnamed.*

*Ahem.* Soooo...

Okay, the art and characters are adorable.
Fine, since the characters can actually sing, the songs are bearable.
Sure, it's downright funny at times.
Alright, although it has lessons at the end, they're not sugar-wafer-sprinkle-covered-lessons dripping with chocolate syrup and shoved down your throat by a giggling protagonist.

However, the fact that I found myself watching ten episodes in a day doesn't explain why guys like it (and were the ones insisting I watch it). I mean, I'm a girl. I'm just never going to have as much manliness as the opposite gender. No matter how I deny and ignore its whispers, the Barbie aisle is always going to have some sort of weird pull on me. So the fact that a bouncing, squeaky little pink pony obsessed over lollipops somehow fascinates me isn't entirely surprising.

But men? Men! What happened to you!? My faith in the stronger gender is shattered! ;.;

The Life Of Desmond

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Apr 14 2011 · 69 views

Desmond struggled as they dragged him to the chopping block, but to no avail. They pinned and trussed him firmly. As the axe rose above his head, glinting in the sunlight, his thoughts flew back to all that brought him here.

He was born in a small cabin in Connecticut, surrounded by trees and wildlife. His parents were poor, but their love for him had --THUNK!

My Interests List

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Apr 06 2011 · 61 views

Apparently, my Bionicle alter-ago decided that he'd had enough of my profile selfishly being all about me and wrote out his own backstory in the interests section.

On the bright side, I can now actually locate the bottom of my profile. I thought it was just a legend. =O

I Have Plastic In My Eyes

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Mar 13 2011 · 85 views

So, after ten years of glasses, I finally decided to try that other option that doesn't involve shooting lasers in my eyes.

Open eye, insert plastic, see clearly without glasses. Sounds simple.

But there's something that never really registers up until that very moment...

Your eye doesn't want plastic in it.

Never mind that you'll be able to see yourself in a mirror from farther than five inches! You're attempting to not only touch your finger to your eye, but insert a foreign object! I don't know about yours, but my eye's total unenthusiastic reaction was basically the following:

"Oh, hi, you took your glasses off! My, things are blurry today, you gonna put those back on? Oooh, tiny little circley thingies... you know, you could probably see them better if you put the glasses back on. No? Oh well, your choice. Hm, those sure are tiny... wait, what are you doing? You can't need to hold them that close, honest, I could see them just fine before... wait! WAIT! Are you aware that you're trying to stuff that in your eye!? OW! Stop it! OW! What are you huffing in frustration for!? I'm the one trying to stop your insanity! I'm --OW!-- warning you! HEY! Just doing my job here!"

So eventually, you physically restrain your eyelids and ignore every cry of sense and reason that they scream at you, and after a few tries you can miraculously see! And then your eye just says, "Hm, this is actually quite nice... ooh, I can make out the pattern of the carpeting and everything... very nice, very nice, so we're just going to keep this in then? I think I can deal with... wait. Wait. NO! You don't need one in the other eye! We're doing just fine here, thank you, and --OW!"

Happily, after almost a week of practice, my eyes and I have reached an understanding. I pry them open and jab the contacts in them, they get to cry and twitch and redden as much as they please, and in the end we both get to see. Win/win situation! =D

Doctor Who Christmas Special

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Jan 07 2011 · 53 views

I saw it before now, honest. Flying fish are awesome.

But anyways, something's been bugging me ever since I saw it... why could Kazran Sardick come in contact with his younger self?

The Doctor Who topic offers the explanation that, since he was changing and becoming nicer, he technically wasn't the same person anymore. The question is, if that applies, how far does the "different person" part extend?

For example, in the Father's Day episode, couldn't baby Rose count as a different person because, unlike older Rose, her father actually made it to the wedding alive? Can the existence of one person make a difference? Or is it only inner changes?

(On another note, if Kazran could remember his past as it changed, why couldn't Rose? Why could she tell her father about him not being there when she and everyone else were, at that time, probably going to be eaten, and thus she'd have no memories?)

Returning to the original topic...

In the fifth Doctor episode Mawdryn Undead, two versions of the Brigadier (the leader of UNIT), from two different times, are unknowingly on the same ship at the same time. The Doctor mentions that if they touch each other, to paraphrase, time would pretty much blow up, or at least suffer serious repercussions. In a marvelous coincidence, when they inevitably touched, it was at the same moment the Doctor was being forced to transfer his remaining regenerations to another person, so all the energy went into that and both time and the Doctor went on their merry way.

But the Doctor wasn't performing anything like that, so why didn't time blow up? D=

Hot Topic Ten

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Nov 29 2010 · 50 views

It really says something about the activeness of BZP when a topic manages to reach the hot topic list with only ten posts...

I think it also says something about BZP when said topic is surmising whether Tahu would enjoy Red Hots. =P

And before you ask, no, Pohatu doesn't eat rock candy and Gali isn't a huge fan of seltzer water.

At This Rate, My Dragon Will Never Get Trained

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Nov 27 2010 · 57 views

So I recently acquired this dragon which needs a lot of work. It's not exactly house trained, and is constantly eating my goldfish and cats instead of the nice Dragon Kibbles I bought for it.

In my desperation, I've resorted to unlikely places for solutions to my dilemma. When I reached the BZP blogs, I thought I'd finally hit the jackpot. Entry after entry with tutorials on the very problem I'm having! At last, my goldfish are saved!

Except every single one of those entries have to do with some stupid movie they're all excited about.

We really need a rule about misleading entry titles.

To Those With Braces (again)

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Nov 17 2010 · 66 views

I have a warning for you... because no one ever bothered to warn me.

One day, your braces will be removed, and will instead be replaced with a metal/plastic contraption designed to keep your teeth looking beautiful and straight and to show everyone you still haven't escaped the orthodontist's clutches.

When you get a retainer, it's exciting. You have removable metal in your mouth! You can take it out for pictures! You can impress your friends by flipping it with your tongue when your orthodontist isn't looking!

But nobody mentions.

That sometimes, when you take it out.

The roof of your mouth.

Tastes absolutely revolting.

Like glue. And food. And hairspray. Expired hairspray.

And suddenly, brushing your teeth sounds like the greatest pastime on earth.

To Those Cursed With Braces

Posted by Turakii #1 Lavasurfer , Nov 10 2010 · 98 views

Don't give up hope.

It's worth it, I tell you! The pain and deprivation are worth it! All those Snickers, Milky Ways, Tootsie Rolls, Skittles, and Peanut M&Ms you're forced to give away are redeemed in the end!

...

Actually, I'm lying. You never do quite get over their loss.

But at least your teeth look good. =D
