  1. YAAS. You get...Rari hugs!! I hope it works out for you. I have a friend who does digital art and she's AMAZING at it, especially animals!! I've never tried, though. It's always been hand drawing for me. My Dad gets free reams of paper from work and I don't draw often, so I can deal. Plus, I've gotten pretty good with coloured pencils over the years. The weird part about this is that I haven't drawn Shego in like...four years. XD And I only did it once. (Then I remembered why...That HAIR....Ugh. Colouring it is a nightmare.) My friend was like, "Dude. You shot yourself in the foot with this one." And I was like:
  2. Hi, Darlings!! So, firstly, Rarity saw herself on TV the other day: Then my Dad tried to knock her over off the table with a napkin. Not cool, Daddy...But he missed. No one dares mess with Her Fabulousness! Anyway, I've been busy, busy, busy. I worked my butt off this week at work and was supposed to be doing homework...but...Um...I got distracted: And, as a result my inner artist Rarity came to play for a good amount of time...this is part of the reason I resonate with Rarity, BTW. We're both artists, though my true talent lies in the written arts, and have an interest in fashion...Though my weakness is evening gowns. I love, love, LOVE drawing characters in them. Too bad I can't actually sew. XD Spoiler for not pony artwork, but, like Rarity, I endeavour to have the world see my creation...Okay, it's just line art for now. I'll get to the colouring later. Bonus points to you ponies who know exactly who this is. Also, I regret nothing. And, if you notice in the first pic, Rarity was supposed to try and help me write my paper, but...We both decided that what I was doing was FAR more fabulous then some boring paper. Besides, I'm off all day tomorrow, so I have time. Yay for sleepiness! And here's to hoping I actually get my work done! Wish me luck everypony!
  3. I'm sure no one noticed I was gone...But, I'm sorry for the long absence. I've been SOOO tied up with school and work lately and haven't had time for much extra. Speaking of school, I still suck at being an English major, but I'm going to stick with it. I was going to change, but changing to any other major would require a complete overhaul of my records, since I transferred in with an AA in English and a good handful of English credits as a result. Not that it mattes, I probably can't go back next semester anyway...I just don't have the money and financial aid simply doesn't want to help. I just keep getting, "too bad, so sad. The need is not there. Figure it out. Oh, BTW, sorry not sorry you're a white chick with a good family." Seriously, why do I have to be punished because my parents took care of me as a kid?! Anyway, I've been doing my best to stay fabulous, despite the bitter cold outside. And so has Rarity. The other day, she decided SHE wanted to be the princess. And we are both eagerly waiting for BaB to release our Sunbutt Celestia. I'll take Rari with me and...it will probably go something like this... Which would be my face if I met Natalie Dormer. (She's been on my mind a lot. I have a life plan that involves taking over the world with her by my side.) But for anyone who cares, I am indeed alive and well! Just a bit swamped right now.
  4. After having to be annoyed that the day I went to go get her, Twili was sold out, I got both her AND Dashie on-line at BaB. Both for $25! How? Well, they were on sale and I had TWO $10 off coupons! So, guess who got stuffing and clothes on Saturday? Now the mane six is complete!!
  5. So, this is me now: You see, I'm really into Frozen and Disney Store FINALLY released the Anna and Elsa Animator's Gift Set they teased and I've been pining for in August. The problem? I didn't get any notice to it being in stock until five minutes before I took my English midterm at 9AM (They restock at 3AM my time typically) and after the test was over...they were SOLD OUT. And many of them on Ebay! I know this is a first world problem but I'm still irritated. I was patient and waited and waited and waited, but since I have priorities and chose to actually go to bed the night before a test, I'm punished. Oh, well. Anyway, I've decided to just be Anne Boleyn for Halloween again, mainly because I have a history lecture that day and was thinking of actually taking Rarity with me so that we can be queens together! She does love her queen outfit!
  6. That sounds about right. I'm having that problem right now. I'm lost because I fail to see why every single line in every single story has to have some external, ingrained historical meaning. It makes me sad that I can't get it right. I'm a writer. I understand plot and character development and how historical context often explains character and plot actions but screw if I can tell you how X poem has some hidden reflection in the form of metaphor on the societal ideas of the Victorian age. Does no one write a story just to tell a story? I mean, really! I'm not saying it's bad to want to reflect on society and things, but sometimes I think my professor and the two know-it-all kids read WAAAY too much into it. And that these writers really like to beat around the bush and need to stop. Just say what you're going to say and be done with it. Sheesh. It makes me want to cry because I feel like I'm failing at being a writer for not understanding this stuff. Plus I have an AA IN ENGLISH! I'm not understanding why I did okay at community college but am falling at Uni. I mean, I can write a dissertation on the character depth and plot development and unintentional reflections on gender roles in Silk but I can't decode these readings for the life of me! I'm starting to really HATE American Literature because of this class. I CAN however, put historical documents together and make conclusions based upon their impact. It's very strange. I don't need to be certified to write words either. I'm a fabulous writer. Even my history professor said so. I actually got the highest grade in class on our first paper! And I can do Chicago Style citations like no one's business, which she also pointed out. (I have my community college European History professor to thank for that.) In photo form, this is me:
  7. Hi everypony! Sorry I've been away for awhile, my schedule's been whack because it's midterm season! Ugh... I'm still lost in my English class too...But I'm making it! I got a B on my first paper, and I'll take it! I'm actually seriously considering switching to being a history major and have an appointment with my CORE professor (she's a history professor) to discuss it. (CORE is a class we have to take to get our feet wet and learn how to do college level work and research. Mine just happens to be a history-based one). Anyway, aside from that...I'm SOOO happy. MY MANE SIX IS NOW COMPLETE!!! And Rarity has two more friends to play with and dress up!!!! (They got their stuffing in and clothes today!) And now that the holidays are coming, there will be some lovely, fabulous holiday outfits to choose from at BaB! My Silly Filly and I will have to make a visit when this stuff comes out. I'm actually thinking of browsing around next week when the Anna and Elsa bears come out and going to their release as Elsa. I was supposed to dress up today to stuff the ponies, but my mum came and she hates it when I cosplay. (Plus she doesn't have the patience to deal with people who would stop us and ask for my picture. My friends do though. They always help and hold my handbag. (So people don't steal it)). Annd...I DID THE THING!! It's a lovely thing!!! Finally, have some more Rarity! I LOVE this dress...Sorry not sorry. XD
  8. I'm not going to lie, I swear basically any time I can get away with it. I use the f-word a lot more than I should according to my mother. (She has this thing about "ladies don't swear" and I'm like, "excuse me. I am not a lady, I am the queen and I can do what I want.") But, I am careful about where I do it. For example, I don't curse on the salesfloor at work (which is grounds to be fired), or whenever I'm around children, (not because I particularly care, because kids hear worse in school and can be taught what not to repeat, but some parents are weird about it). I don't typically curse in front of my mother, but my dad doesn't care so much. So, I would say that I don't care if people swear in general, as long as they're not doing it in a derogatory/insulting way towards me or others or trying to do so during a serious argument, because it never helps the argument (it typically makes a person look like an immature child). But, I would also say that there are lines of courtesy, especially when it comes to being in public. Because, like I said, I'm more careful around children and I'm not loud about my swearing in public for that reason, (but I'm not a loud person in general).
  9. I just found this thing...WHY IS THIS NOT A THING?! Because she's fabulous of course! And perfect... So...I was thinking. Rarity is perfect. Natalie Dormer is perfect. Natalie Dormer is Rarity. XD Or at least she channels her inner fabulosity here. Heehee...
  10. Hello Everypony! Guess what?! Rarity's getting not one, but TWO new friends!!! I got two ponies for the price of one from Build-a-Bear online. How? Well, firstly, they're on sale and second, BaB sent me TWO Stuff for Stuff reward coupons (with different codes) and when I used both of them the order dropped from $45 to $25! So, Twili and Dashie are coming home!!!!! Smart shopper is smart. I didn't get their clothes though, I have to wait until next paycheck when I head back to BaB, since I ordered them unstuffed. (I like the stuffing process, okay?) Either way, YAY me! 'Cause I'm happy, Rari's happy and that means it'll be a swell day!
  11. Good day everyopony! Disappointing news. Twili didn't come home today. My local BaB was all sold out! They only had Pinkie, Rarity and Applejack, all of whom I have. But, my Rarity did get that new outfit I promised: Look at the ADORABLE flowers on her skirt! Plus, there's even a hidden rhinestone! And we did end up making a new friend via Toys R Us. Where I picked up this little darling: (I've been pining for one of these since the show began! I thought she was too perfect to be a toddler doll! Now if only Disney would give her an animator doll!)Sorry, off-topic rant over.
  12. Equestria Girls collection Rarity doll! Because the price dropped from $12.97 to $9.88 at my Walmart! And, BaB Twilight's coming home on Monday!!
  13. Aww...It's okay, I feel you, Darling. I work in one of those "superstores" in grocery and my hours are cut SOOO bad because sales are down since NOTHING happens between back-to-school and Halloween AND they're doing a remodel, so all of our hours are going to the remod team! It's making it really, really hard for me to pay my car and save for school. In fact, I'm living off of my school money and it makes me feel bad. (Okay, I am cheating a little bit by getting a BaB Twilight on Monday, but that's my reward for getting my sh*t together at school and getting a A on my first history paper.) Speaking of school, I may not be going back next semester because of the financial burden...unless financial aid wants to fork over some money. But, as a friend put it to me, "no one wants to give plain Jane white chick" any money. It's not fair. I'm fabulous, I write beautifully and was on the Dean's list in community college. I work my butt off working 30+ hours a week, yet no money. This is what I get for being a writer instead of an athlete or band member. Anyway, sorry 'bout that. Have some Sparkling Rarity!!!
  14. Good day Everypony! So, the other day was Rarity day!!! And guess what I found at Walmart tonight? And now we're going to talk about her for a bit... She's SOO pretty, but I have some quality issues. First off, her hair is kind of a hot mess. And her body is way small. We did a fashion show and not much really worked. I had the most success with Monster High and my Mattel Winx clothes. She also has a hole in her back meant for wings...Which makes me think they used the same mold for every girl. Also, her top is like rubber-plastic, same as the boots and her skirt is fabric. Oh, and she does have feet. Spoiler of fabulosity! And this is eventually where she settled, on my doll shelf with Sofia and one of my three Natalie Dormer autographs. I got my Rarity for $9.88 (She was initially like $12.97) which is about the max I would pay since it only came with her and this purse thing... Also, good news!! I got a 98 on my first history paper which is awesome 'cause I thought it whomped. So I'm rewarding myself a bit with my savings...Twilight's coming home Monday!! (BaB is having a Pony sale!!!) Plus, Rarity might get a new outfit! (If I have enough.)
  15. Mine would probably have something to do with writing. I've been telling stories since the day I was born and writing since before I could remember. However, I do recall my teacher being a little perturbed at me in third grade because we were "writing books" and my story was too long and wasn't something about my own life. (I believe the assignment was to recall an interesting vacation or something and write about it. But I hadn't done anything interesting or cool, so I made something up. (And I still have never been on vacation.)) So, if that's not an indication I was born to write, then I don't know what is!
  16. YAAAAY! Rarisnuggles!!!! That lifts me up a bit. Because I'm like this: I'm not upset, just exhausted. I ran around like a crazy person at work all day doing a whole bunch of things and I need sleep. But first I have a little bit of homework then I can sleep and get up early because I have an errand to run before school. Turns out the now ex-friend (there are SEVERAL reasons we are not friends that I will not get into here) who was living with me for a year and a half (she moved out MONTHS ago) left a box in the basement when she left and I have to drop it off tomorrow at eight in the morning because her new place is on the way to school. I'm just like, "seriously?" Sometimes I hate being a decent person. I keep getting myself into stuff...But I'm thinking of making tomorrow Rarity day and wearing my shirt and ring and necklace. And putting Rarity in her matching outfit! (Her blue dress matches the sleeves on my shirt. It's kinda weird. XD) It'll depend on the weather though. If it's warm, I'll just wear a dress. Since I HAVE to wear the shirt with jeans.
  17. Hello Everypony! Since I know everyone has it worse then I do, I hate to complain, but I'm kind of like this right now: They cut my hours so bad at work I have JUST ENOUGH to pay my car and am left with a little over $40. WTF is that going to get me? That won't even buy gas for the next 2 1/2 weeks! I've asked my parents for help, but they don't even know if they'll have money to spare. I'll be living off my savings for a bit then, which cuts into my school money and I guess gives me incentive to march over to the financial aid office and demand money or else I can't go back next semester. (I can't afford the out of pocket cost.) Which sucks because I just started getting used to the school and the people and finding a place. This also means no Rariwig for Halloween. So I'm stuck with doing a prom queen Elsa instead, which I guess is a little better than regular Elsa...It s a bit different. (I have no problems with Elsa. I relate to her a lot and understand her plight and have been told I'm a good actress and play the role for kids really, really well. It's just that every little girl and her sister is going to be Elsa...) But, on the upside. BaB Rarity tends to always make me feel a little better. I actually planned to get her a new outfit, but can't afford it now and she's got plenty of clothes for now...(Even if she doesn't like hearing it.) XD Last time I took her into Build-a-Bear, when I got her stuffed a bit more, the girl working there actually complimented me on how well I take care of my Rari! She said she could tell "because of the hair. You should see the ponies that come back in here." I know it's stupid, but it made me happy and for once made me not think I was a little strange in taking extra good care of a "toy." Anyway, thanks for taking a minute to listen to me Everypony! And I think you'll like to know I also wear my Rarity necklace everyday! It makes me feel fabulous and reminds me that, even when I'm falling down, I still have one good friend by my side. (Not Rarity. My best friend (who has the other half of the necklace)). Also, did I ever tell y'all that I know the lady who helps colour the MLP comics? She's one of the assistant managers at my store!!!
  18. There's just one problem with that. Rarity is not a princess, she is a Queen. The HBIC. And sometimes, we're queens together. But y'all knew that.
  19. Rarity is prettiest everything (Pony/Equestria Girl/Band member, etc...). Unless Natalie Dormer is involved. XD Just look at those eyes!
  20. I'd love to see it! Sounds just like my best friend! Pinkie's her favourite so she has lots of Pinkie stuff, plushies, a bank, figures, etc... I just gave her a Build-a-Bear Pinkie and she flipped out, she loved it so much! And, since my favourite is Rarity, we also have a friendship necklace that's half-Rarity, half-Pinkie. We balance each other nicely. I'm fabulous and she's just a little silly.
  21. Hello Everypony! So, let me just say that I have the greatest best friend ever! She dropped this off earlier today! Yes, WE FOUND IT!! She got it on Ebay and has the other half, which is her best pony. (Pinkie Pie) we've been waiting for forever to get ahold of this stupid thing and it's finally HERE! Oh, and Rarity approves! And she is doing really well since her re-stuffing. If you notice, she stands up lot better and isn't tilted anymore! The only downside is you can kind of see the knot in her back from the hand stitching, but since she wears clothes all the time, we're okay with it. So in other news, I think I finally figured out my Halloween costume! I have a dress, I just need a wig (Have to wait to get paid) to do what I call...Prom Queen Rarity!! My ex-best friend left me this dress when she moved out...Isn't it SO Rarity?! And, yes I'm aware that it's blue. But her dress in EQG was blue and I think the colour suits her. Now, if somepony could direct me to a place where I can get her tiara from "Sweet and Elite" I would be almost set. Also, what do you guys think of this wig? Because this is the one I'm considering getting, since it's shipped from the U.S. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Bright-Cosplay-Halloween-Costume/dp/B009SOD2JU/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1411452906&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Rarity+Wig So what'cha think? Am I completely off base here? Should I default to Anne Boleyn or Elsa? (Please, don't say Elsa. I love, love, LOVE my cosplay but every little girl and her sister is going to be Elsa and I don't wanna be just another one.)
  22. Hi all! So my best friend came over for dinner tonight and brought her new pony blanket to show off...But...Fail blanket is fail. Just look at Rarity! That is NOT purple! That is indigo! This is a severe crime against fabulosity! Off with the heads! Also, I feel SO bad about taking her in to be ripped open, but my Rarity is going to go get some "surgery" tomorrow. I've discovered that she's been leaning over and not standing right with her friends, so she needs a bit more atuffing in those feet of hers. She's all set up and ready to go, though! I even gave her a blankie! (Funny fact, this blanket came with my bedset. I guess they tried to get people to buy it for their kids by throwing a doll blanket and pillow in. (It's a Sofia bedset BTW)). And she had clothes and hair stuff in the box. Since I have to put her hair up to allow them to stitch her up like they did with my now ex-friend's Dashie when I took her in. Except I don't want them fiddling with her hair because I'm picky, so I'll do it. XP And on the personal end I have officially broken up with those friends and I'm...okay actually. It actually feels good to get the weight off my shoulders. So, now it's just me and Rarity most of the time and I'm okay with that. :)Plus, we got in a brand-new pony comforter at work (I lied before, I work in the dairy of one of those "super" stores) and IT HAS BEST PONY ON IT!!! Plus they have curtains and stuff to match and they're SOOO cute!! Too bad my room already has a lovely purple theme...XD Lastly, more Rarity 'cause I found a thing.
  23. That's one of my favourite scenes from the show! I love how Rarity so readily uses her acting skills in a pinch and manages to manipulate them that way. The thing I always hated about that episode was that a good handful of people decided it was sexist because there was talk about being ladylike and blah, blah, blah...Because soccer mums were too dumb to realise that her being ladylike is just part of Rarity's character and interests..
  24. Hi everypony! Good news, I'm feeling better today and have made up my mind to leave those people behind. I'm bad for them and I know it. Besides, if one has to question the friendship and call me frustrating then we're probably not meant to be friends and I'm okay with that. So I'm about...here now. I'm not quite ready to be happy-happy and I'm not sad either, just content. I'm fine with my decision now that things have settled down. So, yay me! And, on the subject of EQG I went to a few stores the other day and found some Kids' Equestria Girls costumes! The problem? NO RARITY! And they only go up to size 7/8. Like, seriously? What is it with costume companies these days? It's like once a kid is bigger than that size they MUST shop in the "Tween" section, in which most of the costumes are generic, and kind of...not appropriate and hideous. Rarity would disapprove! This is fashion discrimination! I like to think that, while Rarity keeps up with style and trends, that she would also be a propionate of more appropriate/wider range of fashion choices for those fillies who are in the awkward phase of not quite a girl, but not a teen either. The ones too big for 10/12, but too small/not developed enough to pull of juniors' apparel. I personally never had this problem because I was always small but I know people who do have this problem with their kids and it's a little unsettling. How dare these kids be deprived of childhood fabulosity because they're a little taller/wider, etc... Anyway, on the subject of Rarity, since I wasn't in a good place when I got up, I took little aurora Rarity to school with me today and let her head stick out of my backpack and it helped me meet some bronies on campus, which is awesome! I feel better knowing I'm not alone now. Lastly, I found a thing.
  25. Aww! Thanks! And I LOVE that last photo! My best friend (who I've had for NINE years)is also a fan of MLP and she's totally Pinkie Pie! And since I'm Rarity...That makes me smile. I love you guys. We're even trying to get the best friends necklace of Rarity and Pinkie but are having trouble tracking it down. See?
