My CAR D:

The Ninjamobile is in the shop.

I knew it needed looking at; it's been overdue for an oil change and general looking-over, and the power steering recently went out. This morning it was a bit sluggish to start, and the speedometer started failing, but since work had agreed to let me take a personal day tomorrow to take it in, I was hoping it would make it that long.

No such luck. When I went on my lunch break, the battery was dead, and when I managed to get it jump-started it refused to come out of park. I had to call for a tow. Providentially, the shop is about five lots down the street from my apartment, and one of the team managers promised me she'd clear the rest of the day for me, so I was able to catch a ride with the tow truck and walk home from the shop, and my car is currently there. No word yet on how bad off it is. I'll be checking with them tomorrow if they don't call me first.

To keep myself from stressing out over it, I am rewatching bits of Gundam SEED and Ouran High School Host Club so that I can finish the fics I owe [livejournal.com profile] annwyd and [livejournal.com profile] atrocity... and also dorking out over Pony Island.

I always did love My Little Ponies.

I had a feeling you'd be fond of Pony Island. Imagine that. ;)

Shocking, isn't it?

I love and hate you both. Bastards. Bastards OF CUTENESS.

They did it to me too.

We are all owned.

ALL I WANTED WAS A PONY, JUST ONE PONY, AND **THEY** WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME!
