So life isn't as smooth as it could be right now. Besides riding a bike that makes me feel like I'm being butt-raped every time, I found out last night that a friend I hadn't seen in ages had a fanatic collection of
My Little Pony (MLP) merchandise. For those of your who don't know, MLP is this show intended to be targeted towards young girls. And by young girls I don't mean 18-22. I mean like, 6 year olds. I used to give my friend a bit of shit for liking MLP, because I thought it was fucking ridiculous that he'd be into it, since he's far older than the targeted demographic, plus you know, the whole being male thing. Buuut it's not like I harassed him about it, I just let him know that I think he's kind of nuts. Then again, it was that point in life where all of my good friends seemed to be into MLP, and I just sorta... pretended that it was something I could sweep under the carpet.
Anyway last night my friend showed me a picture of his collection, and I'm like, "omfg what are you doing with your life". I mean, I get his obsession... in a way. I like to collect books, he likes to collect MLP merchandise. It just seems a lot weirder than collecting books, but it's totally okay. He was all like "DON'T JUDGE ME" and try as I might I still think it's weird. I don't like to think about how much money he's spent on MLP merchandise, because maaaaan he has a lot. And I ask him, "where the fuck do you even get these things", and he replied "the pink aisle, in every store ever".
I also happened to ask him how his parents reacted to his obsession, because come on, I can't be the only one who finds this shit weird. And going from his description, I reckon he might've got a better deal if he just told them he was gay. Seriously. Even if he's not actually gay, I bet it's what his parents are thinking now. Then I started feeling sorry for him, because when I thought about it, the whole thing was so innocent. It's like, he's collecting ponies! So what? Better than collecting something like used condoms, right?
Getting to the point, I also found out that he was YouTube famous, because of his pony collection. At first I was like, "hahah, this is probably just a bunch of strange, strange people like you, and maybe you've got your own little fan club that you're all in"--- and then I checked his YouTube account, and fuuuck he has a lot of fans. My jealousy hit a new peak when I saw this 16yr old (or somewhere around there) girl saying "OMG YOU'RE SO COOL", fawning over him like she probably fawns over Justin Bieber.
My life is a lie.
But yeah, despite my jealousy of his fame, and the fact that I think he's getting close to becoming batshit insane, my friend is a pretty cool guy. All of my friends are pretty cool. Except for that one guy who made me catch a bus with him, taking an hour longer than I should've, and then having me get off at the wrong stop and having to take a 30min walk home. He's a faggot.
Anyway, check out my friend's videos, like them, subscribe to his channel, watch them on repeat--- whatever. He's enjoying his fame, and so he should. With all his pony merchandise, he totally deserves it. Also, he just turned 18, so this post about how I think he's insane is kinda my tribute to him.
Happy birthday, my strange, strange friend.
I subbed :3
