It's Friday already?

Doctor Who will actually carry the 2012 Olympic torch. Seriously. The actor who plays the Eleventh Doctor will carry the torch for a while, close to where the series is filmed. Now I'll have to watch the episode "Fear Her" again, even though that was the Tenth Doctor. Eh, enough,

Husband came home at four in the morning, and the cats were the picture of bliss. Nobody can say that cats can't be ecstatically joyful. Jupiter purred for hours.

My thoughts, as of late last night:

-10:00PM: I feel an inability to fall asleep coming on, and my husband won't be home until five in the morning or so. I'll probably stay up and watch the second season of My Little Pony in random order until the songs invade my dreams. Yay!

-2:00 AM: Still awake. Doing fine. Also, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are adorable and need to be together in more episodes.

-3:00 AM: Ooh, here comes sleep. Hi, sleep!! /Pinkie Pie voice

So now, Adam and I are preparing to make brunch and such. It feels so good to have him home.

Tortoises can't fly. Don't make them try. Etc.

For those of you who have seen all current episodes of MLP:FIM, I have a question that has been bugging me since "May The Best Pet Win." Am I the only one who wished that Rainbow Dash would have picked the falcon alongside the tortoise? No one said she couldn't have two pets, despite her claim that "only one" could "be the best." The falcon was exactly her style - winged, fast, arrogant, pushy, boastful, self-righteous, loyal, and showy. Yes, the tortoise showed tenacity and perseverance and loyalty, but this is a pegasus pony who spends most of her time lounging on clouds and performing tricks so she can learn to be the "greatest flier ever." Not even a loved pet can make her stay on the ground.
Besides, her final choice made her entire brilliant showtune duet with Fluttershy completely pointless. Seriously, she should have told the falcon to stay. It's what she wanted. The tortoise was what saved her life and crossed the finish line with her, which was a dumb rule in the first place, as it was born out of Rainbow's desire to win and be the best on her own so that she would outshine the animals. She deserved a pet that would show off with her. The moral at the end was pointless as well and taught nothing other than that we should give up what we really want for something that we could force change upon to suit our needs.
Also, that contraption that made the tortoise fly was ridiculous. The whole thing actually made the episode my least favorite, as well as making Dash my least favorite character.
I'm not alone in this, am I?

Do you really want me to shut up?

I've realized I have been very unemotional about the following subject, but what the hell, I might as well ask.

A few people have mentioned that I "constantly blog about pain and disabilities because it's like a badge of honor, reminding everyone" and they feel that my disabilities are a point of pride, even becoming my identity. Something like that. I'm already done laughing my ass off and rolling my eyes.
However, they make one good point. I do blog a lot about pain and disabilities - but it's not because I'm proud; it is because the medical things are stuff that happen to me, chronically and constantly without end. I was born with brain damage that caused more damage that has snowballed throughout my entire life. I don't have the luxury of being able to whine and bemoan for a few days or weeks while the wounds heal and the bandages come off. Yeah, that's a luxury in my world.
I would love, love, love to be a person who doesn't have disabilities or serious permanent medical issues to speak of. Even having a minor condition since childhood would be preferable. My gods, that is my dream. Badge of honor? Point of pride? Identity? Seriously? I don't think I have ever been so insulted as a disabled person, and I've been insulted a lot as a disabled person. And I've stopping really caring, because fuck that.

However, I would genuinely like to know: If you are on my friends list, or if you have been reading my journal, have you thought such things about me? Would you like me to stop talking about it? If so, are there reasons you still read my journal? Do you want to unfriend me? I wouldn't be offended if you stopped reading, truly. I'm more curious than anything else. I know I have plenty of online friends who are disabled and truly understand. But the number of people who have emailed me with such words is an interesting tally. I just want to say that if you really think I am like that, please let me know, so I can stop "whining" about stuff. And I'm serious: If I'm being a defensive ass or a whiny ass, call me on it. But do it here, to my face (so to speak), because I want that much more than I want private emails from people who don't want to reveal themselves.
