Echo Posts Horses (Among Other Things

Hey so if you're into My Little Pony or character creator games in general check out pony.town - literally https://pony.town - it's great! My horses are kinda simple compared to some of the things I've seen people make with it. It's also a social game thing where you can hang out with people as your horse things! There's a tenth anniversary event going on right now where you can find neat little toys and things like that dragonfly one of my horses has.

A blanket/towel is kind of like skirt if you wrap it around your waist and it'll hold itself up if you fold the top edge over once or twice.

It’s some kind of psychological thing I’ve got, I think, that whenever I think to start doing something that could conceivably be a big complicated thing I tend to get so caught up in that line of thought that I psych myself out of doing anything at all. “Oh, I’ve got to pick the right topic for my first post because that’s gotta be the most important one, that kind of thing. And yet, this is probably one of the lowest stakes places for me to be doing this besides writing in a text file or something where nobody else will see it. Why not just ramble aimlessly? Surely that will work better than worrying so much over what to say that I never say anything at all.

Here I am talking about not making a big deal of things that are small deals in practice, and I open with a big dramatic monologue about my psychological issues or whatever. Hi! I’m Echo. Or Eko, which I was apparently preferring when I first signed up for Tumblr, and which I have used for this blog also just to make it match my other one.

My blog description as of right now implies that I’ve never really posted anything online before, and as absurd as that seems to me now that I think about it, it is true. I’ve been on the internet with no restrictions since I was old enough to operate a computer, but somehow I’ve never gone beyond lurking, slowly spreading my invisible gaze across the internet as I find new social media platforms and whatnot, content simply to read and watch and observe. And now I’m breaking that streak, I guess. The great and terrible engine of the Tumblr mechanism has at long last succeeded in its quest to swallow me whole.

Wow, okay, uh, toning it down a bit because that got away from me some.
