Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been taking an extended break from FimFiction lately. Had some undesirable interactions with some users. That coupled with some of my creative frustrations just makes logging on... kind of unpleasant? If I do log on, it's usually to try and catch up with the fics I'm reading and then I quickly log off. I'm just feeling drained with the MLP fanfic

Writing updates. Chattin' up about life. Not a dense post, but get it after the jump.

It was my birthday yesterday! I'd meant to post the day of, but honestly, I was so tired and busy I just didn't have much time or energy to sit at my computer. Wanna hear a funny story or two, plus see the new playlist I made for Sassaflash? Get it after the jump!

New chapter for What They Hope to Find is out! I talk about what's next after the jump, but before that, a quick anecdote:
Last night, my family was having trouble finding something to watch together. My nine-year-old son didn't have any ideas, but he pretty much shot down every suggestion we had. Eventually, out of frustration and half-serious, I say, "Let's just watch ponies."

I'm thinking of scrambled eggs and Italian sausage marinated in barbecue sauce.
I love knowing how to cook.
And isn't her name Suri Polomare?

McDonald's felt the need to dub her otherwise.
3835364 It continues to astound me that they would put her, of all ponies, in the Happy Meal toy pool. The kids who can get away with begging for pony toys with their burgers are almost certainly not going to recognize a one-time villain, and even if they do they won't want her. I'd be more likely to want a Spoiled Rich toy, if only because I would actually get some satisfaction out of destroying that one.
On the plus side, I have a funny story about McDonald's Happy Meal ponies. Would you like to hear it?
3835399 I'm always up for funny stories about McDonald's Happy Meal ponies!
3835423 So, they've got both MLP and Transformers out, right? And there's that big display case with all the toys, so that kids can go batshit insane. Well, as you may or may not know, a lot of places are perfectly willing to set out all the toys and let the kids pick which one they want. Now, while I was waiting for my order, a few little boys accompanied by their father came in, predictably went apeshit over Bumblebee, and were very eager to see the toys.
The funny part comes in when the girl at the cash pulls out literally all of the options, including the MLP. Then there's this moment of slightly awkward silence, and she only then bothers to ask if the boys only wanted to see the Transformers stuff.
Now, either she was a pegasister, or the idea of MLP being enjoyed by all genders is now so pervasive in mainstream culture that it is no longer assumed that only girls will want it. Even if the boys in question are at best ten years old.
3835524 ha! That's pretty funny. I only got an odd look once when I bothered to go inside instead of using the drive thru. I had my son with me, and while I'm a girl, I'm... Well... Old. The teenager behind the register was looking at me like, "I guess she's either a weird McDonald's toy collector, or she's raising her son to be a gender liberal?" Then my son got all excited to see the ponies (he watches with us all the time and calls them "moh-nies") and she must have settled on the latter lol
