So I uhm ... I have a pet shop.

... And it's a nice pet shop! I was really blessed to get a location that is clean and neat and doesn't look like scary people are going to pop up out of nowhere and mug you and steal your pets and wallets.

I know I wouldn't want to buy a pet from a place like that!

It's over in Huntington Beach, and it's called Fluttershy's Menagerie. Oh, Fluttershy is... I guess... kind of a nickname of mine.

I'm bad at this. I'm Minerva, hello internet. It's a lot easier to type here than it is to advertise and make commercials and things.

Anyway, I do a lot of the breeding myself, and I sort of made the mistake of getting a bunny friend for my rabbit, Angel...

And now I have ... well... a whole LOT of bunnies for sale. SO many bunnies for sale. They're all adorable and need love and happy homes, won't you come by and take some of these bunnies off my hands?

I would really appreciate it... if you know, it's not too much trouble.

Janice Rand, I have your shoes. They will be returned safely and unharmed if you meet the following conditions:


1) Txt me a picture. In that one bikinioutfit.

2) Join me on a date.

3) Admit that I was right and you were wrong about dreams.

I am actually still here.

It has just been a really difficult few weeks. Nothing potentially death inducing and no strange dreams from me, which is something I think, when I look at the valarnet and see what everyone's been up to and doing. The only problem in my life was being broken up with, and redevoting myself to science.

I do sort of wonder, even a couple of weeks later what I did, but well, Buffy, you are still awesome and wonderful, even if we are in the friends side of things, and while I wished I could find someone on campus who does not actually know how old I am and would sell me vodka, I have gotten through it reasonably.

Even my family has been actually normal for a change. Still too reliant on the GPS when we go ANYWHERE, with the result that we get lost, and I eventually redirect traffic when they decide to listen to me, but normal, everything else considered.

And very soon, I will have a degree and I have to decide if I am going to continue in school or not. I do not know if I want to spend my life in school when I could be doing things or running lab results, but who will take me with just the lone degree again?

It is something to think about, I guess.

What is going on with the dreams here? Are you having some mass hallucination?

Sorry I disappeared. I've been away for a while. I was busy with some piloting work and it ended up they were filming in another country. I got the call late in the evening and didn't have time to let anyone know. I had to hop a plane really early in the morning. Had a neighbor watching the place and taking care of the little monster.

Ended up that the previous pilot backed out for health reasons. It was really good pay and an assistant on set recommended me to the director and a producer. I guess I lucked out.

I'm back subbing an astronomy class at a local community college for a couple of days. It's good to be home.

Looks like there's some strange things that have been happening?

I guess that means things are normal. For here, anyway.

Since we're on the subject of polling, and sharing questions and bonding through it or whatever shit here, I've got a question for YOU, network. Say you get arrested for some stupid petty crime, like a brawl gone out of hand, or drunk and disorderly or whatever conduct people think means you're unsafe, who's the friend you'd call to bail you out? Who's the friend who'd actually be sitting in jail next to you and grinning?

In other general questions, is what I'm pretty sure constitutes a form of torture a decent motive or defense for murdering your sadistic bitch of a PT?

...but this had me laughing. And everyone needs a good laugh, now and again. You know, before one finds themselves lost out in the wilderness with a bear gnawing on their skull, like it's made out of butterscotch candies.

Fair warning: This is likely not work-safe, due to language. Like you couldn't tell just from glancing at it, straight away. So put on your snuggie, curl up with a cup of tea in the comfort of your own homes, and enjoy!

Hopefully it shows, or I've fouled up the interwebs, entirely.

My robot is done! My crashing, smashing robot of smashingness! Just in time for the judges to inspect her, too!

Oh I can't wait, I'm going to rent the lorry right this instant so I can bring my baby home. After a suitable demonstration.

I need something to smash with my robot.

As it seems the past few days have been dedicated to what can only be described as "hypothetical" questioning, I am now going to attempt to steer the community in a different direction. Polling.

How old is the average poster here? If you feel uncomfortable divulging your age, you may pick a range.

What would you do if you knew somebody who pretty much was doing something completely unethical that involved contract breaking for a really really good moral reason? I mean the contract won't be violated for all that long, really. Just long enough. And is it okay to lie about how part of the contract got broken? Ever?

What if this person is uh a classmate of yours at Wheaton? In your contract law class no less? Do you think they should fail the course or go in and argue with the landlord about the reasons the contract is wrong and make up technical leeways to get their way or...

I mean what would you do if someone's property that you were renting got wrecked because you were violating a contract, I guess, is what I'm asking? Is it ever okay to lie for a really good, really important human reason? Or does the law matter more? I'm confusing myself here.

Hypothetical Question


[info]parking_brake
[info]valarnet
Say you have a friend who's extremely well groomed.

He likes a lot of plants, keeps his place really clean, drives a hybrid car, and has fruit and yogurt in his fridge.

You're pretty much assuming that friend likes guys, aren't you?

I mean would you tell that guy, "I think you like guys", or would you just never say anything?

Does anyone else become a sudden lightweight after a few months of not drinking? Usually I'm a horribly expensive drunk, but I went out last night and it took me all day to recover. I'm not sure how much I drank, but it couldn't have been more than three drinks.

And now to blow some minds, I'm looking for work. That's what I was supposed to be doing today, but then the drinks happened. I swear I'm a good employee. Sort of. I need something that pays under the table since my brother is the controlling type. and I need to stay off the radar I'm willing to do any kind of work since I don't have much experience. Wow. I really know how to sell myself, don't I? Thought maybe someone would take pity on me.

It is a strange practice writing on a network where I do not know most of the people. At least on Facebook, I know who is reading the words I throw into the ether. Most of those people are interested in what I have to say, understand my humor, and are teachers or students. Here, I am not entirely sure of the demographics that make up the user-base and that makes it unnerving. But I must soldier on. Or quickly delete my account, I suppose.

My name is Spock. I look forward to making your acquaintances.

Idea. I has it.


[info]starwreck
[info]valarnet
So I watched Scotty rip an engine out of a hybrid, stick it in a robot, make it work, and then put it back. And make the hybrid run even better. I mean, I can rip an engine out and put it back and make it work, mostly, but to repurpose something like that? I can’t do that. But this man could, and he did.

And it gave me an idea. Maybe it’ll give me purpose, if he’s willing. And my idea is insane enough he just might agree. We’ll need others. A pilot at least.

Yeah, I think we can do this. I just need to be very convincing.

Pavel's at home and doing alright.

I made him a little bed in the living room so I can keep an eye on him and moved all the plants to the kitchen counters.

They look like my mother's old gardens now instead of kitchen counters, but that's alright.

I'm a horrible Ferret Dad


[info]parking_brake
[info]valarnet
I was going through all of my notes and things, preparing for my lectures next week, and I guess I wasn't really paying attention like I should have been. Normally I like to go out and do this while grabbing some coffee somewhere, and Pavel is in his cage. I forget how zoned in I can get.

He was running around. I like to let him out of his cage whenever I'm home, and usually I keep an eye on him. He loves to cause trouble - he's a ferret - but it's usually never that bad. Knocking things on the floor over a few times, stuff like that.

He knocked over one of my plant stands and tasted some of the leaves. I really don't know if he ate them or just took a nip and a lick to see what it was, but... the plant is a mess, I can't tell for sure, and he's really not acting himself now.

I don't know if it's because I scolded him and locked him up after that, but he's really been down. I might have to take him to the vet, I really don't know what to do.

Poor Pavel. :(

I'm so careful about my plants, too, I try to keep any plants I'm not sure about away from him. And he isn't usually the eat leafy greens type, either. I'm probably worrying over nothing...

Best Bar Ever


[info]starwreck
[info]valarnet
I had a good weekend. Made a couple friends, wrecked a bar. Got dumped. Or maybe I dumped her. It was sort of a mutual thing. With flying objects and broken glass. I've had better breakups. [info]parking_brake of all people invited me into coffee. And then we went to a bar.

Its this place called Mad Dogs and Englishmen. It looks like someone put up some wood and opened a bar inside and then vomited all over the floor, but the whiskey is top notch and the bartender has a working flintlock.

So I was having a drinking contest with this Scottish dude and losing miserably, and I had the most perfect idea.

There was this big guy. Lets call him cupcake. Well cupcake has a mean right hook. Next thing you know, [info]parking_brake was going all Jackie Chan on everyone, [info]warp_speed was hitting things with abandon, and there were flying midgets.

This bar..this bar is best bar.

Has hot waitresses too!
