Dreambiscuit

I’d get a gold medal for complaining, and a silver medal in whining, with honorable mention for longest lasting OCD, and a participation award for most toy-based clutter in a single household. I might even get a germophobe ribbon for how many times a day I clean doorknobs, fixtures and surfaces. That’s a winning combo.

Seeing loved ones suffer is as bad as it gets. I’d rather take their suffering upon myself than see them suffer. As for personal punishment, being isolated with my own poisonous thoughts and having no outlet until they turned me into a monster is pretty bad. The worst pain I ever had in life was based on this kind of internal torment. As a wise man once said, “You can whip me, you can beat me, you can kill me, just don’t bore me!”

I’m already doing what I want in terms of a career. It may not be fancy or impressive but it’s something I love. I work at Disneyland and even though I’m not doing the same dream job I did when I started a few years ago, I’m still in a place I love to be. As long as I have a life beyond work, I don’t have to be more ambitious than that. If you love what you do for a living, you’re not actually doing work at all.

I sometimes stutter and get horribly tongue-tied. I used to be an excellent speaker but somewhere along the way I developed a bad stuttering problem which manifests when I’m too excited or just really tired. It’s pretty embarrassing.

I occasionally enjoy a half glass of wine with a movie to unwind after a long day. That’s about it though. I don’t usually drink anything alcoholic with food because the alcohol taste doesn’t offset the flavors properly. I prefer my wine on its own, with nothing else to enhance it or be enhanced by it.

I learned the significance of the Liberty Tree in American history. I looked it up as part of an imagineering project I like to do as a hobby. Apparently colonists staged their first protests against the British under the Liberty Tree, and it was a gathering place and rallying point for resistance against British rule. Sounds like some shady dealings to me. get it? Shady...oh never mind.

Before I was married, the closest thing I came to a date with a Brony was more of a group outing with several Bronies and Pegasisters, set up by a friend who was supposed to join me but bailed at the last minute. I was hit on relentlessly by one of the Bronies, and was uniformly despised by the Pegasisters (even though I wasn’t hitting on any of their potential boyfriends!) It was chaotic and unpleasant. But if I’d have been dating one man of my own choosing and not been with a whole group of neurotic ponies, it would probably would have been fine. I know some very nice Bronies so I’m sure it would be fine as a rule.

Feeling okay. A little mixed lately for no particular reason. Just in one of my moods I guess; happy, stressed, happy, stressed, and so on. I’m weird.

Nothing but health food for me today. Started out with a Taco Bell burrito for breakfast, then had a McDonald's Big Mac for lunch, and topped it all off with a Detroit style Pizza Hut pizza for dinner.

I tried to catch up on my sleep after a long, exhausting day of travel and work. I managed to fit in a snack of leftover pizza and watched the latest episode of Andor. Then back to sleep again.

St Maria Goretti In Garments All Red by Fr Godfrey Poage. Truly an inspiring true story about the ultimate heroism in the face of the most terrible conditions. To think an 11 year old girl has, by her bravery and courage of spirit, faced down a hoorible fate and inspired millions of people by her example.

Personality is content and appearance is just cover art, so to speak. I can read a book without a cover on it and still enjoy a good story. But I do think people should make an effort to keep themselves presentable. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder but comeliness and taking good care of one’s self physically is important because it cultivates a healthy mind as well as a healthy body.

I'm huggable. I give a lot of hugs and very seldom am I met with resistance. The few who do resist know that they’re still gonna get hugged until they give in and stop fighting it, so ultimately I’m gonna get everyone. If someone hugs me I accept it wholeheartedly unless they’re unhygienic or insincere jerks trying to get a free grab.

I love Perry. Good little Dingo.

I never had braces. I did have crooked teeth and a nice gap in the middle front teeth, but they seem to have straightened out and now they're pretty straight. I actually like crooked teeth; they add to a person's personality and gives a sense of individuality.

At least two bedrooms and two baths. If it's an apartment it must be gated. And most importantly, it must be close to Disneyland.

In a word: Bleak. The version of the future we used to see envisioned back in the 50s and 60s is not going to materialize. Technology, rather than streamlining and making life better, has bogged it down and made it worse. This is because it’s a lazy world and no one wants a future that expects anything of us today. New innovations are few and what we do have is just the same old tech rearranged and re-sold because it makes fast and easy profits. Visions of the future are often squashed by those who only know how to mimic the lowest common denominator rather than thinking outside the box and taking the next step forward. People have lost the ability to interact beyond texting, and common sense is becoming less common. Things have been on a decline and when things go too far in a bad direction they don’t tend to make an abrupt 180 and fix themselves. Parents don’t raise their own kids and we have generations being raised by indifferent babysitters and socially impaired teachers. The blind lead the blind, and without morality and civilization to give humanity as a solid framework, the world isn’t going to go ‘where no man has gone before.’ Instead it’ll turn into a place no man wants to go.

@TheRockARooster We’d get along great and let’s face it, the man owes me a steak! Get sizzlin’ Roostah!

I usually take a two-week break between visits here. That gives me time to recharge and take time for other things I need to focus on. It also seems more merciful on my fellow ponies to give them a break from seeing me here all the time.

Doing pretty good right now. I had a good day following a long difficult week and I’m finally getting my perspective back.

If I want to purge my mind of things I want and can’t have, it sometimes helps to find another dream to cling to. As long as the mind is focused on something it can be easier to let go of something else.

I just got fiber optic installed in my apartment complex. It’s a little better than what I had previously but for all the advertised numbers I would have hoped for a LOT better.

Astronomy/cosmology. I love the science of the cosmos; it’s infinite and the most unexplored. That’s like turning a kid loose in an endless toy store! My dad is a chemistry professor but I never could get my mind around that stuff.

Pizza all the way. Chocolate is for dessert.

Right I guess, but it would be a no-win situation either way. I live in an apartment and share walls with people on both sides and they act like freaking animals. Can I opt out and just take up residence in the local kennel instead? I think it would be more peaceful and civilized.
