Yeah, I'm one of those "locked away from society" but it's not really by choice. I don't drive, never have. There is no public transport here. There is a bus of sorts, but you need to call 48 hours ahead and it costs money. I live day to day because my pain and mental function vary day to day. I don't know how I'll feel in 48 hours, so why book a trip?

When they cut down the buses here, the Council's argument was that kind of dial and book service, and we gave them the exact same reply you just said. How do you know how you are going to be in 2 days? It was particularly for an elderly complex that the issues were arising. They were amazing, though. They went to war with the Council and they won and the Council rerouted the bus back past their estate. There's one woman who is on it literally every day. It's a matter of a 5 minute detour that transformed her quality of life.

It sucks that your buses are so bad

Also, on the sheep. I meant to mention this before, but it's so much easier for people to insult someone else's stuff than it is to contribute anything positive to society. Ignore them. You're being creative and the sheep are cute

@LBS - my navigational thing is I think officially developmental topographical disorientation, which means parts of my brain don't link up stuff properly. Unfortunately getting an official diagnosis and scan is not possible on the NHS at the moment (I think Canada is the only place that actually does it, in case you're interested, LOL) but it means that I can be somewhere familiar and my brain will reset where I am, and I will completely lose my bearings. Forget left and right, I can't always remember how to get from work to the bus station. I have to remember which stores are near it and hope I see the sign to them/the logo.

This is why it's a bad idea for me to have a car. I am all for self-driving cars when they are safe, but I think that's a long way off. Human driven cars are maybe the bigger problem, since a lot of people drive badly here.
Tech could probably make my life a lot easier, if the tech I needed existed.

Being able to drive would transform my life completely. But I spent six years trying to learn. And I could do the mechanics of it, so long as there was someone there to navigate. And in my tests I made bad decisions because I navigated worse under stress and misread traffic signals. I never did anything dangerous but I realised that I would probably end up killing someone and I would never be able to drive independently because of my navigation and the ease with which I lost orientation on roundabouts and such.

So yeah. I am as independent with public transport and such as I can be. I am the only person who goes to London for a walking holiday because there are lots of buses, and the bus stops are quite distinctive. I can follow bus routes to walk and the buses are frequent enough that I can watch where they go to help me find the way. And if I get lost I can always grab a bus and get back to safety. I can't do any of that at home :/ But I can't afford to live in London, so this is how it is.

The new LPS are definitely wider spread than the BF ponies. I've always had a hard time finding the ponies, but the LPS I've found tons of stock of in every toy/"nerdy" shop I've been into in the past few months.

I know the BF line won't last forever... but I hope it lasts at least a little bit longer

G4 Lighting dust and the other washouts. There is plenty of wonderbolt stuff.

Plus the fashion designers Rarity recrutes : Lilly Lace, Star streak and Inky rose.

And the two unicorns from canterlot : Sunshine Smiles and Moonlight Raven.

Yay! Go Shai! I need to catch up on your vids.

I'm doing laundry today FOR SURE. I also really need to vacuum. There are tufts of cat hair all over the carpets

I've been doing these little sheep doodles on another site that has ponies. I was doing them for free, but a friend poked me and said I should open a shop (it would be for game currency) so I asked for a price check. A couple of people have been very rude in my thread. Saying that anyone can draw a blob or glowing line and get lots of the game currency for it. That people like me who aren't artists make REAL artists feel bad. Blah blah blah.

People who make comments like that are a combination of jealous and insecure.  I create Pokemon coloring pages--I started years ago, back when there were NO official Pokemon coloring books.  I have a friend who was really interested in what I was working on because she also wanted to color Pokemon.  We were discussing it in front of her brother who informed me in a sneering tone that it wasn't that hard and he could do that.  So my response was, "Yeah, but will you?"  I think it shocked him that I had the audacity to snap back at him.  (He's very spoiled, to the point where their mother would blame my friend if he didn't eat because, even now, as an adult, he doesn't know how to make himself a peanut butter sandwich.)  He doesn't like me and that's fine.  I think he's a {word I shouldn't use on this site}.  I've made 600+ Pokemon coloring pages so far and plan to complete the entire set.  The kids at the library where I work love them. 

I am currently working on pieces to sell at a big event a few towns over.  I don't do custom pieces.  I create what I want and if people buy them, great.  But does that make me NOT an artist?  Because I do something that someone else claims they can do or I don't take commissions?  I don't think so.  I'm an artist whether someone else likes it or not.  There are lots of famous art pieces that I think are hideous and wouldn't have paid money for but they're in museums so obviously someone out there thought they had value. 

And it's been my experience that the people who are supposed to have my pieces don't always show up at the first place I show them.  Sometimes it takes a few times before a piece sells.  I don't take it personally.  I would rather my pieces go to someone who truly enjoys them rather than selling them just to sell them.  If you're only an artist to make money, it will show.  But when you love what you do, the people who also love what you do will find you. 

Which reminds me...I really need to remember to start taking pictures of what I create and adding them to my DA page.  I haven't added anything but coloring pages since I started making resin pieces.
