I haven't updated in a while so I figured y'know... might as well say hi.  HI!  And Merry Christmas if you celebrate it!  And Merry Thursday if you don't!  (Even though it's Wednesday at the moment.)  And if you don't celebrate Thursday well... I just don't know what to say to you.

I've said this a million times, but thank you so much to anyone who watches me.  You guys are awesome and very patient since I don't update a whole lot.  I you guys.

Not a lot of interesting stuff is going on in the Onnawaffle Mafia at the moment.  I went to see Rifftrax Live (actually live) in North Carolina with the Maus in October and it was one of the best nights ever.  And Ryan and I went to WDW at the beginning of this month for our first Christmas trip that was actually really pretty damn good.  Our other two Christmas trips were less than awesome. 

Between the two trips I did NaNoWriMo which I initially had no intention of doing and I ended up loving it.  I've actually been writing again!  I just haven't been writing anything that involves any of my preexisting characters and it's not anything I'm comfortable posting right now. 

I can't tell you how many people at WDW saw either my Ghostbusters tattoo or my Egon necklace and asked me how I felt about the third movie rumors.  And only one of them didn't seem surprised when I told them I was against it.  She worked in the new Haunted Mansion shop (Memento Mori I think?) and she agreed with me which made her doubly awesome.

I will maybe have more pictures to post soonish?  I take a ton of pictures but I tend to take them on my phone not with an actual camera.

And on a completely unrelated note, if you feel like getting a postcard and feel comfortable giving out your address to someone you barely or don't even know, note me and I'll send you a postcard.  And if I have your address but I haven't sent you one in the last month or so, I'd love it if you gave me your address again.  I lose addresses.  A lot.

God, the new turtles are horrifying.  Like, I think we may have finally stumbled upon something worse than their live action series.  Probably not worse than their live action musical Christmas special though because that... yeah... 

I know this is going to make me sound like a little old lady (though by internet standards I probably am one) but I'm going to have a "kids these days" moment.  It really bothers me that kids these days are going to be associating things like Transformers and Ninja Turtles with these gritty live action movies that are either horrifying or just downright awful.  At least there's the Nick TMNT series to show they're not nightmare fuel with what I'm sure will be a really stupid origin story (that somehow has to do with the WHITE GUY Shredder) but is there currently a Transformers series?  I fear for things like He-Man and Thundercats.  We don't need gritty reboots, seriously. 

And on a not really related note, can they just stop with the Ghostbusters 3 crap?  Did the last Indiana Jones and the Awful Plotline movie teach them nothing?  Mr. Akroyd you are awesome but you need to give up.  We don't need the torch to be passed.  How well did that work with Extreme Ghostbusters?  And how are you going to explain why two of the Ghostbusters aren't there anymore given that Harold Ramis is dead and Bill Murray has said he wants nothing to do with it.  You can't kill them off, that would be too morbid.  You can't say they quit because I'm not sure I can see Egon just up and leaving.  Peter maybe, but I doubt it.  And you definitely can't say they went off to start their own Ghostbusters team elsewhere because yeah, that wouldn't happen.  Egon and Ray are like, BFFs.  It's not explicitly said, but it's sort of implied that Egon never moved out of the firehouse between the first and second movie even though they weren't Ghostbusters anymore.  And they're the ones that created everything.  I can't see them parting ways unless under bad circumstances, and again that wouldn't really work for a movie plot 'cause you don't want to speak ill of a guy who would have been there if he had the choice.  I'm just going to go on the assumption that GB3 will be stuck in developmental hell forever, and will never get made.  I like that idea.

That's all.

Ten Things About Me:

1. I hate showering.  I do it since y'know, it's necessary and all but I hate doing it.
2. I have this huge really hard to explain emotional reaction to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and it all started when I saw some pictures of the ride right before it was demolished.  (20kride.com.  They're pretty wicked pictures, 'cause they left the hidden parts of the ride alone for ten years before destroying it.)  For the record, I never even got to go on the ride.  It's a strange obsession.
3. I could literally talk for hours about Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, Walt Disney World and 20k Leagues. 
4. I collect My Little Pony blind bag figures even though I don't watch the show.
5. I have 381 bottles of nail polish.
6. I love things that glow in the dark.
7. I'm a panromantic gray-a asexual. 
8. My room is a complete wreck.
9. I'm pretty obsessed with my new tattoo.
10. I hardly ever use my DSLR anymore.  I normally use a point and shoot or my phone.

Questions from

1. What kind of computer set up to you have (laptop, desktop, customized, PC, Mac, etc)?
I have a laptop that I use for general internetting, and a second laptop I use for Skype and watching videos.  During the week I put that laptop away though so I can use my work laptop.  I'm thinking about getting another stand so I can have all three out at the same time, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get out of my chair then.

2. Who is your favorite Poke'mon?
Eevee and all of it's evolutions. 

3. Where is your favorite place where you can be the most creative?
Honestly I haven't been super creative in a while.  But I guess... WDW?  I do generally try to get creative with my photos there. 

4. A language you've always wanted to learn?
German or Russian

5. You inherit a ton of money and you have to donate some of it to a nonprofit charity of your choice. Which do you choose?
One that has to do with saving animals.  But not PETA.  Fuck PETA.

6. Tell me about your favorite handbag or backpack.
A messenger bag covered in the cutesy nerd versions of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto.

7. What is your dream camera?
I'm not sure that I have one, but I do drool over crazy old cameras even though I wouldn't be able to use them.  Right now I want an Intax but I don't know that it's a dream camera.  Ooh!  I would really freaking want one of those super colorful Dianas. 

8. You're playing Super Smash Brothers - who do you kick the most butt with?
Zelda as Sheik. I haven't played Super Smash Brothers since the Gamecube version though.

9. You're going on vacation - which dolls and dA friends are you bringing and where are you going?
Tokyo Disney because they have a 20k Leagues ride (not the original but oh well) and other awesomeness.  I probably wouldn't bring a doll, but if I did it'd be Boxes.  And of course I'm bringing my hetero lifemate Angie-Chan070707 and my best friend TheGirlCalledMaus.  And NovaGreensocks because Disney.

10. Tell me about which cellphone you have - do you have any cool wallpapers, skins, or cases
I have an iPhone 5 and right now my wallpaper is the chibis that raila did of me and Egon straightening a slinky.    The case is a picture of the Vigo portrait from Ghostbusters 2.  I'm keeping to a theme here. 


Questions for the tagged:
1. Look to your left.  What do you see?
2. If you could paint your walls any color and with any pattern, what would you chose?
3. Do you have a useless talent?  If so, what is it?
4. What do you watch the most on TV/the internet/whatever?
5. Do you collect something?  If so, what?
6. If you were in any Disney movie, which would it be?
7. What are you going to do once you're done looking at dA?
8. Coffee or tea?
9. Do you keep your room (or general area) clean?  Or is it a wreck like mine?
10. Are you any good at growing plants?

I'm tagging everyone who is reading this and wants to do it.    But tag me if you do it so I can read your answers!

Apparently "Bumblebee Zero" is against their naming policy, but "zim bee" isn't.  Does that make any sense?  I filed an appeal and it asked for links to pages where I had established a following using that identity so I linked to various places online where I had over 100 or 200 followers.  I know that isn't a huge amount compared to a lot of people but how many people do I need?  If over 200 people follow me somewhere doesn't that suggest I have an established identity?  I am annoyed!  Feh!

In an unrelated note,  I'm trying to reorganize my gallery some.  Mostly I'm combining doll folders, which is making me realize how much I miss photographing the little resin brats.  Maybe I should do more of that.

Right now I'm probably going to dump a bunch of Instagram pictures into my scraps.  So watch those if you like silliness and don't watch them if you don't.

I really need more coffee.
