Inspired by Pinkie Watches Paint Dry by AbsoluteAnonymous (undoubtably much better than this I just wanted to try out something similar)

And by similar you mean the exact same thing badly and blatantly plagarized without any of the understanding of the original concept.
The only thing you're missing is a made in China sticker.
plagarized? did I do that without realizing it? because if I did I'm so sorry...
I just sort of sat down and imagined looking at grass myself and then took the conversation from my own perspective tweaking it to make it more Pinkie-ish
I suppose having read Pinkie Watches Paint Dry could have temporarily biased my style to using certain diction and style...
I have noticed that my style of writing tends to reflect my mood which in turn is often affected by what I read....
If that is what happened I'm very sorry and I did it without even realizing it...
I mean... isn't it technically the same thing.
If you had a different revelation then it would be a bit more original

Was this based off of my comment on Watching Paint Dry? I feel kinda responsible for this
Comment? I didn't see many of Watching Paint Dry's comments. I just wrote this to test myself, to see if I could also turn some mundane event like grass growing into something more. Guess I failed miserably if all its coming off as is a cheap copy.

You did a fine job. I think the two stories work well together, and both are worming their way into my headcannon.
I still can't help feel some responsibility for this. If you're wondering about this comment I made, go here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22329/Pinkie-Watches-Paint-Dry and scroll down to the 89th and 90th comments. That's why I feel so responsible.

This is just awesome. Who new walls had such personality?
Sure beats watching grass grow.
well it does have some of the same elements of "paint drying" but at the same time is different. you can tell that it started with her think deeply. then she started talking to it. that just kind of killed it for me. introspection I'm all for but when people/ponies start talking to inanimate objects, it just losses my interest. but other then that you could really take your writing somewhere. keep at it.

well the talking to it was supposed to be her organizing her thoughts. since I had her personify the individual grass blades into her friends the talking to it was essentially her trying to get the advice from everypony she knew. But I can see how that could kill the mood of it being introspective. It just didn't strike me as odd at the time because as I said earlier I sort of based it on how I imagined myself going through the process and I tend to talk to myself like that sometimes to try and sort my thoughts
thx for the constructive critique though I'm always looking for advice on how to improve
525971 well see the thing is if I was in this situation then I would be talking out load too. It just that , and maybe it's just me, when I read a story I try to find the things that wouln't happen to me. I don't even know what drew me to "paint drys". I really don't. I have 0 clues. It isn't the kind of story I usually read. So. But it was good and so is your. So her talking out load makes me think "wait......I could possibly end up doing this!!!" and that's not a good thought. But other then that.......

Yup, that's my comment alright. Believe it or not, it was based off of a let's play of Minecraft, where one player said that watching grass grow was boring. The other quickly responded, "Don't knock watching grass grow, it's mildly entertaining." Hence, my comment.

there isn't any real reason to feel responsible because of that comment. Besides the fact it was made before I even started its more of a statement of fact than anything else. I never expected to make anything close to the quality of Watching Paint Dry. I mean I specifically put in the story description that Paint Dry was better specifically because I knew mine shouldn't come close to the quality. It was just a shoot for the moon and see how close I could get kind of thing. I figured some people might just see it as a cheap copy like Mr Numbers but I was more interested if I could actually make anybody see it as something good which is why I'm glad at least a few people like it because that means I at least did something right writing it and that my writing will hopefully improve because of it.

! There are many kinds of stories, from those that make you cry and are deeply sad (My Little Dashie is a prime example), to those that prevent you from breathing from laughing so hard. 
This is a story that teaches you about the little things, the same style as Watching Paint Dry. Yes, it's the same style, but that doesn't mean they're the same. Not at all. Mr. Numbers can dig himself into a hole with that one. Made in China sticker? 
Seriously, I've heard better. This doesn't deserve it though. It's a unique spin on the world as we know it, and I'm glad to have read it, even if it's not connected to me. I almost wish it was. I enjoy connections to good things like this.
Well, that's a relief. Although, I admit it, I think this comes pretty close to Watching Paint Dry. Why? The depth of Pinkie's observation is just so astounding.
Very interesting. Reminds me of this other story where Pinkie had deep thoughts while watching paint dry.
