Ponies

I have a few days off this week and I spent yesterday working on The Gift and reading the a book I thought was going to be funny (it was comic, but with genocide, lying to people For Their Own Good™, and sterilization of teenagers) and I'll work on Harmonies tomorrow, but today I decided to wear soft, loose clothes, do housework, listen to shorts from RadioLab, and make ponies.

I'd been thinking about making ponies for my characters for a while, but with my weekly deadline hanging over my head and all those hours I was working, I didn't have the time, but this morning I asked my daughter for her favorite pony doll site and spend an hour or so playing around. This is what I have so far:





I wish I could change the directions the eyes look.

This site also lets you pose your pony and now I feel like I have a dirty mind because they have several different ways to have ponies mount each other.

I really wish TokyoPop hadn't gone out of business. I want the last 18 or so volumes of Silver Diamond. *sigh*

“What do you want for your birthday?” Seth asked.

Quinton would be nine soon.

“Quinty wants a kitty,” said Zoe.” And I want a mouse. Or maybe a squirrel.”

Javier flicked her forehead. “This isn’t about you.”

“I get stuff,” Zoe argued. “Dani’s gonna give me her purple fuzzy heart pillow for my bed.”

Javier frowned. “Why don’t I get hand-me-downs?”

“Because Josh trashes his clothes and you are already as tall as me.”

“But I could have the stuff you don’t want anymore.”

“For the, what, next two weeks. You’ll soon be as tall as Steven.”

“But still...”

“Sorry.”


( And Zoe was Zoe. Demanding and adorable. )
