Oh The Secret Garden was amazing; I adored that book as a kid. Also The Little Princess, apparently by the same author, was a good one. Both were very magical.

As for classics aimed at adults, the only one that ever really pulled me in was Phantom of the Opera, which I read in high school and really loved.

Yeah, Duplo are made by the same company and if I recall correctly they even are somewhat compatible with actual LEGO. I had both as a kid but at some point the Duplo 'magically' disappeared (I suspect my mom decided I'd grown out of them lol).

I remember I didn't have a mermaid barbie but I had a bathtime barbie that had these craft foam skirt and accessories, and came with sprayable soap bath foam stuff that you could 'dress' her in, and then wash it off. That was really cool.

I loved Polly Pocket!! I never had the later ones with the outfits though; I had the earlier version that came in little compacts that each contained its own little playset and super tiny dolls. I never really understood why the reimagined her so much bigger later but I'm sure those ones were well-loved as well. :)

And no worries; took me forever to respond myself! ^^;

*rolls around*

Today was another sleepy day for me. I need to start exercising again. :/

Also the roommate's doggo has what's apparently called "Shaker Syndrome" and he occasionally gets what I call "the wobbles," and though he hasn't had an episode in a while, he had one tonight. For a while he was really lethargic, happy to be held or just lay with me on my bed. He's such a sweet dog, I hate when he's sick like this (afaik there's no cure, just treatment). The good news is, he's coming out of it as of the last hour or so and is feeling much better and eating. Hopefully this doesn't happen again for a long time.

@Anarchist Beauty:
Lol, they tend to do that. Funnily enough most of my close/longtime friends are also childfree, lol, so I haven't had a whole lot of experience with friends having kids. o3o

Will do!


@Juliette:
Aw, I'm sorry to hear it! I hope you're feeling better soon. <3

@Anarchist Beauty:
Oh gosh, yeah, I can see a baby kinda throwing a wrench into things, lol!

I'll have to check out Creativerse sometime; I love sandbox survival type games so much. I'm intrigued by the blueprints thing. o3o

@Juliette:
Hiya! How are you doing this fine day? :3


@Alchemists Fire:
You know, that might actually be better, lol. I love the rainbow but it's a bit much on every word. XD;

@Alchemists Fire:
Yeah, like all I bought was like, some almond butter and a couple apples I think? Like it's not like I burned through the whole amount and it was stuff I'd definitely use and was even healthy so I don't get what the problem was.

Parents are weird. Lol.

@Anarchist Beauty:
I roleplayed for a while with my friends over the past few years but our last games kinda fizzled out and we never got back to them. I'm hoping to maybe get something going again but I don't think any of them want to play the characters I would like to, anymore, sadly. But maybe I could do new stuff with my OCs or something.

Good luck with your fics! :D

I love Minecraft. I've been playing on the same multiplayer server community for years, which is nice because it's smaller and well-managed for the most part. I'm currently working on a pirate-themed town that includes my base and a bunch of shops (so far). And I'm reminded I want to rebuild my lighthouse from the previous incarnation of my pirate town (the world had to be reset due to increasing bugs on the years-old world save). Maybe I'll work on that tonight. o3o

I haven't heard of Creativerse! Is it similar (as far at least as being an open-world sandbox survival type thing) to Minecraft?

@Alchemists Fire:
Oh well thank you! I'm loving all the rainbow items we have here, it's great. :3

I had no choice but to live on my own; my then-stepfather threw me out shortly after I turned 18. Wasn't even allowed to move back home temporarily when I became disabled at 24. The man sucked, and I'm very glad he's out of my life. 🙃

Yeah my dad gets irrationally upset about the weirdest things. I once said "man if it were possible for me and socially acceptable I'd so grow a beard" (I'm afab but nonbinary) and even with this impossible hypothetical he started snapping at me angrily "NO YOU WOULDN'T" and I was so bewildered like what? Dude, unclench thy anus. XD He also thought I was an asshole (though obviously he didn't say it quite like that) because I was raised that people call/text ahead and warn people before just showing up at their house to visit. What I was raised to think as common courtesy, he thinks is rude!

Don't get me started on other people trying to control my finances. I appreciate my dad helping me get my finances sorted after my longtime roommate passed and I lost my apartment, but when I used a small amount of my food assistance for some foods for myself he got upset??

@Anarchist Beauty:
Lol, yeah, and unlike another certain site I can't just talk to myself endlessly without it being considered spam. So I really appreciate other people posting! XD

And oh cool, that's awesome! I haven't been able to write in years, but I used to write so much fanfic.

I'm doing good; I managed to not sleep all day today, though I still slept a lot, lol. My sleep schedule is all wonky. Aside from that today's been a Minecraft day; I finally had inspiration of sorts for a new building on my multiplayer base for the first time in ages, so that's been fun. :)


@Alchemists Fire:
Oh wow that's a lot of rainbow text! Lol. I don't think the bolding makes too much difference, at least to me.


Posted in ☥ The Rainbow Ankh ☥ Posted 3 years ago


@Anarchist Beauty: Gasp! Someone other than me posting! XD

How are you doing today? o3o




Not smiling enough under your mask? I mean I guess I kinda get it in that you can kinda tell if someone's smiling by their eyes, but still.

Huzzah! Congratulations on being able to move forward finally!

I played Minecraft all day today. Just grinding levels to unlock stuff in the mod we have on the server, too. o_o I think I'm gonna do some more fun stuff in the game now that I've had a break.

Anyone do anything interesting today? o3o




Holy cow, it's currently 90 in Portland (which is really hot for them) but only 75 here (Central Florida). Granted, it is raining here. But still, it's so bizarre that it's so much cooler here at the moment!
