Dreambiscuit

1. My Interests:

Disney movies and parks, architectural design, animation, Imagineering and filmmaking.

2. My Hobbies:

I write, draw, paint, sculpt, and do some occasional crafts. I should be doing one of these things right now, but I'm too damned addicted to this forum!

3. For fun:

I like to do the above-mentioned artsy and literary stuff. I also love movies at home or at the theater. I like to travel and do things I haven't tried before (this can include ANYTHING) I do like to go to the gym and keep in shape too.

4. My Job:

I work at Disneyland. (If you want to know more about that, PM me and I'll go into the details.)  

Here's the deal. You can't go through your life obsessing over everything. Big things, small things, it doesn't matter. We're all here to learn as we go. None of us will ever be perfect but that's okay, God will make us perfect after this life is over and forgotten. Trying to attain perfection will only cause you a lot of personal torment and a nasty obsessive/compulsive streak. Trust me, you don't want to go there. 

I know this may seem hard at first, because it takes some mental readjusting that may seem contrary to your instincts, but you have to practice letting go a little. Now I'm not saying you should let go of God or religion obviously, but let go of your strict expectations of yourself and others. Life is a dirty mess. Fine. We can only do our best, but obsessing and being miserable is not what God wants for us, He loves us and wants us to be happy, first and foremost. Only by setting aside the grief can we truly expect to fulfill our potential. 

As far as other people go, everyone is at their own stage of development in life so we have to be patient. People who ridicule religion often have no idea what they're ridiculing. They follow the cues of mass media, which I'm sorry to say is grossly irresponsible. We find ourselves judging those who judge us, but that's human. We learn and try to do better the next time. The human animal is too complicated to worry about the countless impulses, good or bad, running through us at any given moment.

I've been where you are, and I had someone tell me the same things I'm telling you, let go a little, step back and see the bigger picture. It took me a little time to readjust, but whenever I started to doubt myself, I simply shut it off and said, "Enough!" In time my mind felt a little less squeezed and I found that was what God wanted; less pressure and more happiness. I felt His presence in my life more naturally. Only by opening up to Him and trusting Him can we do His will, and this does not mean obsessing over it! 

If God were to set you down and talk this over with you face-to-face, He'd probably say, "Lighten up! You're doing far better than you realize." Many people, it seems, don't try at all, and God loves them too.

Be at peace, brother. And God bless you.   

I am stuck at home and there is barely anything to eat so tonight I am eating yogurt and french fries for dinner...I may make popcorn next.

Sounds like a good balanced diet to me. 

I had Chicken Fricassee. But I'm just about to plow into a Three Musketeers bar.   

I'm french canadian and british. Quite an odd combination. 

Not all that odd, actually very cool (cuz that's what I am!) French Canadian and British on my mother's side. On my dad's side, I guess I'm 3/4 Polish to 1/4 German.    

.

I like it HOT. I want to feel the heat in my bones. I want the heat to hurt. 

I don't mind thunderstorms though because they make it cozy to be inside. I don't like them so much at night because they make the power go out and my fan shuts off. I can't sleep without a noisy fan by my bed. 

I'm 24. I'm youthful for my age (which sounds like I'm already an old lady trying to cling to those lost years) but I have never acted my age and never will. Yes, I have been toilet trained, but you know what I mean! 

Thank God for Cover Girl.

A seventh element at this point feels too much like desperation on the part of the writers. It's superfluous the same as adding Starlight Shimmer into the Mane (7 now?) It's not a natural fit and seems way too forced. 

I love 'em. I see so many every day! All ages of kids (and adults too) as part of my job. 

The fact is, babies, toddlers and children of almost any age get a little cranky sometimes. We all do. The little ones just express it in the way they know how, which is usually a little noisy. They just have needs. As soon as they're taken care of, everything's good again. 

I find that with most kids old enough to communicate with words, I reach them by treating them with the same respect I would any adult. Kids are often more intelligent than their parents but come off differently because no one gives them a chance to be heard and they get frustrated. Listen to them, respect what they say, think and feel. 

One thing that I hate to hear parents tell their kids is "Because I said so." This is crap. It shows no interest or intelligent thought. If one really has a reason to tell a kid something, explain your reasons and they'll understand and respect you for it. If one has no good reasons, you'll see that you should be listening and not telling.   Okay, I'm done yammering now.

Welcome to the fun, JesseJack! I've been here for only a short time but can't get enough of it, thoroughly addicted! Hope to see a lot of you on the boards! 

Hi SprinkleIcing! Welcome to this brave new world of ponies. I just started here myself and it is awesommme! I'm sure you're gonna love it too! Always great to have a new friend join the herd! 

 

 

Dreambiscuit Welcome to the MLP Forums! This is a great community and I hope you'll enjoy your time here. If you need help or just want to chat, feel free to PM me.    

 

Thank you, Icy Wind! A very lovely welcome! We're gonna get along fine! 

Yoo I got to scope some of that superhero!

 

Thanks! I got it commissioned by Koi-chan. 

The superhero thing is a long-standing work in progress. It's about 1/3 done. It's about an asinine wannabe who tries to use super powers to impress a girl. It doesn't work, but it gets him in deep with some real supers that aren't so nice. Then the plot thickens...

Oh my goodness! I really LOVE your artwork! I'm not kiddin', this stuff rocks my world! 

Hey, I found meat, how hard can wine be?   All I really need is dessert! 

Wow! That is some beautiful art! It really jumps off the page. Thanks for sharing! 

No, if I were in a starving group in the wilderness, I'd probably be the first to get devoured. Bummer.

I wouldn't play favorites. Folks on the menu would be determined by nutritional considerations, calorie count and tenderness of meat. And if they just happen to go well with a good wine, so much the better!

*takes cake and cider, enjoys both* Enjoying it here immensely! Meeting so many wonderful ponies. NIce to meet you now as well!

I think I would, but it would have to be simmered in garlic butter, topped with shitake mushrooms and served with a nice red moscato. 

I can't live without a watch. I'd never use a phone because it's too bulky. A watch is not only an incredibly useful tool, it's a piece of jewelry that says something about your sense of style. 

I wear a Mickey Mouse watch that plays two tunes (Mickey Mouse Club March and It's A Small World) and I feel naked without it. Unfortunately, I wear a costume for my job and can't wear the watch with it during those hours. (But when I do, it's on the left hand).    

I remember seeing you join FiM (Friendship is Magic forum).

 

Welcome to this site too, I guess.

Yeah, I signed up there but the layout wasn't very intuitive for me. A friend recommended this place to me so I'll probably make this my home. Nice to see folks here from both forums though. Hope to see you around!    

I'm normally a fan of Rarity, but Rainbow (the human version from the human world) was awfully cute in all that nerdy getup. 

In the first episode there was something said about "The stars will aid in her escape" so maybe that's the villian

Yes! Always wanted to know more about that potential storyline!

Mine would slide her head under you chin and rub noses. She'll also burrow under your mane if she really gets affectionate.

If the ponies saw humans, they'd probably try to document the cryptozoological event before the ponies in black came to hush it up.

I was up early before work and my roommate at the time had it on TV. I didn't think much about it, assuming it was just another morning cartoon show. But I couldn't turn away from it and very nearly ended up late for my job! 

The episode was 'Lesson Zero' and it remains one of my top three (right behind 'Magical Mystery Cure' and 'Crusaders of the Lost Mark'). 

What a way to start the day! (Not to mention the rest of my life!) 

I work for Disney so I'm surrounded by toons everyday. Nothing could be more natural. If I say "Hi, I'm a Pegasister!" I'll likely be greeted with a dry yawn and response like, "Yeah, and I'm Winnie the Pooh (literally). Ya want a medal er somethin'?"
