If you are referencing episode 18... That wasn't Derpy; that was a unicorn with her coloring/an earth pony with similar coloring.

Unless you are talking about something else... then the muffinocalypse shall begin!

I have signed... and they shall all die in muffins and burning.

That scene originally pretty much made my week, after all.

I walked into the Men's room.

Dude was using the diaper changing station, to actually change the diaper of his baby.
Wow.

That's the first time I've ever seen one of those things get used, properly.

My dislike of missionaries is being put to the test.  As I've mentioned, I was raised as a Mormon.  Around about 11 or 12 I stopped going to church.  'Round about 16 or 17 I had thought enough about religion and such to form my own opinion and not go with what was spoon fed to me.  At the moment I'm living with my grandparents, who are Mormon.  My dad (who is not Mormon either) also lives here, and we'll be taking care of them in their last few years.  It's their house, thus I can't tell the missionaries to bugger off.  In fact, I'm not sure whether I can even say I don't want to see them.

Losing sleep over it. :banghead

It's 3 in the morning, I have to wake up at 8, and I can't sleep.  Why can't I sleep?  Because for some reason I have a constant running dialog in my head.

First, let me explain.  I have conversations with myself internally, I've always been like this.  Sometimes I'm consciously in control of both sides, sometimes I (for lack of a better term) talk to my subconscious and it just throws unexpected responses at me and I don't really have control over the direction of the conversation.

This is an internal dialog of the second variety, and I'm currently being interviewed as if I was a political candidate talking about the separate topics of political corrections and religion.  This has been going on for at least twenty minutes, and I'm hoping that by writing this post my brain will be sufficiently distracted and shut up.

I have no explanation for how weird I am sometimes.  Now I just have to hope I don't come off as some kind of crazy person.   -_-'

So long as it stays internal and you know it's your own dialog, you're not crazy.  Being able to converse with yourself like that can be quite useful actually.

As far as shutting it up though, see if you can work on a project or something that will keep you busy for a bit.  Meditating could help you clear it too.

I'm piss-poor at meditating and I shouldn't be doing anything that keeps me busy at three in the morning.  Writing that post did shut it up though.   :p

I have something similar: I can actually see my thoughts like I were watching a movie, and it keeps me awake at night unless I go out of my way to physically exhaust myself.

Do what I did.  Find a local video store that rents hardcore porn and find the most disturbing all male gay porn you can find.  Cue it up to one of the 'good bits' on a day you know they'll be dropping by, and wait.  Invite them in, set them down, crank the sound, press play, and proceed to act as if nothing unusual is happening.  You will never see them again.


Wait till the grandparents are gone or something. ;)

There's a van parked on my fucking driveway.  I don't know who's van it is.  The workmen next door deny it is there's.  It's blocking the way into my back garden so I've had to bring my bike in through the house - my housemates will have to do the same.  I'm going out in a minute so I can't even wait around to see who's van it is and have it out with them.  Might just let their tyres down...

Don't do anything illegal - it will only screw you over as bad or worse than you screw them. If you can't find whose it is and get them to move it you should be able to get it towed at the owner's expense if it's on your property. Local laws might vary though so check first before taking the word of a random on the Internet.

Good thing I watch it on YouTube. Original Derpy is just like I want.

Speaking of YouTube, those commentators are becoming annoying. I unsubscribed from one because he basically said that he won't make videos about a game that I actually subscribed to him to watch. And when I wrote a comment about it, he deleted it and got all pissy "Why do people tell me that they unsubscribed! I don't give a fuck!" :rolleyes
Magic is for weaklings.
