Dreambiscuit

I’d be a Pegasus, because I must be able to fly. Flying is the greatest gift I can imagine and I wouldn’t trade it for all the magical abilities in Equestria.

I’m fine with the onset of spring. I’ll get extreme hay fever allergies for a while, but here in SoCal we get beautiful Jasmine flowers blooming everywhere and the scent is intoxicating! It’s the most beautiful smell in the world. Definitely worth a few sniffles here and there.

Eggs over-easy, with bacon and sourdough toast. If you want to toss some western hash browns on the side I won’t complain, I promise.

I like Monopoly as board games go, especially the variant versions like Star Wars or Indiana Jones. I love D&D but I don’t really think that qualifies as a board game. As for card games I like Crazy Eights, and I seem to remember playing War and liking it pretty well. Hey, isn’t Trivial Pursuit technically a card game AND a board game? I’ll go with that one as well, just because I CAN!

She would be in high demand as bellows for making fires.

She’d probably learn to walk backwards and carry out her daily activities in reverse, acting all the while like nothing was wrong (and trying not to stare at all the other ponies going in the wrong direction!)

I’m a lightweight in this category, although there have been many situations where I would love to really unleash some delicious possibilities. But in my small way I used to draw sarcastic little comics and anonymously posted them on the employee bulletin board at work. The characters were thinly disguised caricatures of certain coworkers who had it coming. No names were used but if they could recognize themselves in the artwork they got the point I was making. There was another time when I was much younger and less disciplined, involving a certain (harmless) additive to someone’s coffee, but I’m not going to give details because it wasn’t nice and it’s never wise to potentially tamper with someone’s bodily systems. I regret it and strongly advocate against that sort of thing now. But passive aggression as a rule, yeah, let's party.

I’m most like Rarity I think. I may not be as stylish as she is, but I do appreciate style as a rule and she’s one classy pony, which is something I like and hope to imitate.

The things that stand out to me, and I don’t know if this qualifies as ‘cringe’, but here they are: Deleting Derpy for several seasons over absolutely nothing (we all know the story), changing her voice, and to this day referring to her as ‘Muffins’ in the show credits. When Magical Mystery Cure came out, everypony complained about Twilight getting wings. I mean, so what? So she’s developing along with the show and not stagnating endlessly. Some fans got absolutely furious about it. That stuff is cringy to me.

I like the activity here. It’s almost impossible to find an online forum anywhere that’s still active and healthy like this one. There are new members joining all the time, and lots of old friends here as well. I love that necro-ing of old threads isn’t pointlessly discouraged as is often the case in many forums. I love that there are new threads also introduced on a regular basis, without being arbitrarily locked. The staff here is excellent, attentive and friendly. Lots to like here.

I've had clinical depression most of my life. I’ve always tried to hide it behind a sense of humor., but I decided to go to the doctor to get treatment. Sadly, the medication I was prescribed actually amplified the symptoms. Now I’m not sure if I should ask the doc for a different prescription or drop the idea altogether before anything else exacerbates the situation. Chewing on it. Also chewing in a choc chip cookie bar, and it's doing more for me than the meds. I like simple solutions.

I’m 5’ 4” (162cm/1.62 meters), so I’m usually the one hopping up and down trying to see over everyone else’s heads.

I worked on my painting. I'm completely immersed in it lately and it's taking up a lot of time. I like it though, it's fun.

12:56 am PDT here in Anaheim, CA. The middle of my nocturnal day.

I don’t know if ‘dead’ internet is the correct term. Maybe ‘cluttered’ internet or ‘suffocating’ internet. Any media platform is going to be used and misused by opportunistic media companies manipulating every tool they can to distort perceptions of the user in order to promote their product and ideologies. Instead of the internet being the wild west that it used to be, where all things were seemingly possible, it’s now under a stranglehold but those who love to control others. It’s no different than the news, books, magazines and movies. It’s all just a means for companies to influence a public too malleable to say ‘NO,’ The public has more power than they realize if they simply hold out and demand more for their money. As it stands, the media is a playground for parasites out to exploit, and that’s a fact of life that isn’t going to go away anytime soon.

I bought a dvd set of Gun Gale Online, seasons 1 & 2. I had to order from Malaysia to get both seasons dubbed in English and region-free. What I got was junk; only one dvd was dubbed. What a rip. So I consoled myself with this cool neon sign for my kitchen

I would say I had a particularly negative experience. I opened my fridge in the wee hours when everyone at home was sound asleep, and BAM! The crisper drawer broke off its track and crashed very loudly to the floor, effectively waking up everyone within a ten minute drive of my apartment. I dislike loud noises as it is, but waking up half the world when I’m trying to appease my late night munchies was embarrassing as well. Not a big deal, but I did say a bad word when it happened.

I had three recent dreams that were unsettling at best. The first one involved me eating a mouse, which at the time (within the dream) seemed perfectly normal. Later on in the same dream, the reality of what I had done hit home and disgusted me to my core. It was a weird and gross dream I was glad to wake up from. The second dream I had took place in some sort of museum in which three naturally preserved (ancient) human bodies were on display. The thing that made this so unsettling is that these bodies were somehow animated by inexplicable electrical impulses to their mummified muscle tissue that caused them to move and undulate at random. One looked like a peat bog mummy, which was writhing on its display platform, and another kept opening its eyes, which were unnaturally oversized and, when opened, looked like they were made of ceramics with pupils indifferently painted on them. Thankfully I don’t remember what the third body looked like. In the dream these bodies didn’t unsettle me at all; I just regarded them analytically. But once I woke up and reflected back on the dream, it really scared me. There must be some fundamental differences in the way the conscious and subconscious mind process stimuli to produce an emotional reaction. This was far more than I expected from a simple night’s sleep, but at least it wasn’t boring. The third dream was of a more superficial nature and involved Disney re-cutting my favorite movie, Return of the Jedi, and re-releasing it with all of the Emperor’s Throne Room sequences excised. The space and ground battles were consequently supplemented with boring filler to pad out the missing footage. This obviously ruined the movie, but thankfully it was only a dream. What strange worlds exist in the theta stages of sleep.

I've missed everypony too. Marshmallow Peeps for everyone!

I'm here Travs, alive and well, if you trust the validity of such a dubious statement. Nice to be back.

What times of the day to you enjoy your meals? Do you eat early or late? Are your mealtimes influenced by other activities? As an example, I’m a night owl, so for me, my first meal of the day is around 8pm, with my ‘lunch’ around 2am, and then I snack the rest of the time, usually around 6 or 7am when I’m sitting down to watch a movie before bed. On work days I have to flip everything around; breakfast at 7am, lunch at 1pm and dinner at 8pm. What does your dining schedule look like?

So, if you could possess any non-living object from any movie to keep for your own, what would it be? You may choose from any movie ever made and from any genre, including animation. This is a tough choice to make considering all the possibilities, but you can go for bonus points and use your chosen object to gain even more choices. For example, you could take Aladdin’s Lamp and have three more choices. But if you do, remember that you can only wish for inanimate objects from movies. So what are you going to choose? Make it as simple or complex as you like. And feel free to explain the reasons for your choices.
