Anonymous asked: *ding dong* dear lyra, you are a wonderful person. inclosed in this letter is a check for 200 bits. you deserve a new bed you great pony. - anon.

That’s all it says.

Granted it has “*ding dong*” wrote out too, but no envelope, no money, no nothing.

What an elaborate, yet minimalistic gag.

theblackstrawberry asked: That sounds bad... better call your ponynet provider. I'm trying to play Deus Ex... even with everything turned down to a minimum, it still lags... im so sad...

Sorry dude. I got it on the Xcolt so I wouldn’t have to worry about that.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Are you sure you don't want me to give you that extra bed I have?

I’m sure.

But… I did want to talk to you about something you said not long ago.

Anonymous asked: Hey Lyra, would you like some assistance looking for a new bed at a reasonable price? There are so many helpful ponies on tumblr, I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to find one in your price range!

I’ve already picked one out. I even have the money to buy it right now. But I need to know I have the income to cover it.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: why am i hinting a touch of frustration when i read that?

Because I’ve seriously said it at least ten times.

If you meant the bed thing, because it really is fine! But no pony seems to want to believe me.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: new bed? new job? do tell

I’ve only mentioned that I’m going to be a substitute teacher’s aid about ten times now.

We have three beds in the house. One for Bon-Bon, one for Tootsie, and one for me. But I gave Sweetie my bed when she moved in. I can’t get comfortable on the couch, so I’ve been sleeping on the floor in the office; A.K.A, my recording room.

It’s not that bad though! I’m sleeping on a blanket!

ask-sweetie-belle asked: Lyra, did you count how many bits were in that jar? And how much does a bed cost?

You had quite a chunk in change! All together it came out to roughly 8 bits!

Unfortunately, even without a frame to set it on, the bed will cost a little over two hundred…

I was a very sweet gesture, Sweetie. If you want, you can have the money back and you can spend it on something for yourself. You earned it after all.

It just warms my heart that you’d go through so much trouble for me! If it makes you feel any better, I can sleep on Tootsie’s bed tonight and tomorrow night, while she isn’t here.

I’ll get a bed soon, I promise. I just need to make sure this new job works out.

What About Bill And Teds Telephone Booth

I didn’t think about that one.

But they only had it for the day, right? They had to return it. So, there must be some kind of hand-off stipulation where you only have it for so long for it to remain balanced up against the other choices.

Anonymous asked: would you get angry if ponies fell asleep on you?

I don’t think so. But it might not stop me from getting up, even if it would wake them.

patchoulol asked: Choose wisely: The Wings of Time with laser beams, a nuclear flying DeLorean, or some variation of telephone booth?

Epoch could only travel to specific points in time, but I’d still go with that.

The DeLorean is too unstable. It breaks down at the drop of a major plot-point.

The Doctor’s booth might be nice, if I needed a place to live. But in the end, I’d probably use the Epoch to just cruise around most of the time.

Time travel is too dangerous.

everpresentshades-blog asked: "Posted in 3 hours"? OH MY GOD SHE'S FOUND A TIME MACHINE

Just a bug with the website.

Yeah… That sounds believable…

Anonymous asked: you will find a button that unlocks the exploding device, but it will trigger the other device on this poor puppy. you have a minute to decide....

I knew I should have studied demolition.

Oh, and those movies suck.

theblackstrawberry asked: Last night, during my moment of insomnia, I found a really good site that makes custom dolls. I sent in a picture of you and they said they will have the doll ready by tomorrow. Of course I got one for you. I'll drop one off tomorrow, if that's okay with you. Oh and one more thing, would you sign mine?

Uh… Yeah.

I guess so…

Also, for some reason I’m having a hard time staying connected to tumblr on my desktop, but my manedroid as no trouble at all!

No idea what that’s about. Wish it was easier to type on it, but the screen is kinda small.

I preferred Family Matters.

I’m sure you know what comes next.

ask-sweetie-belle asked: Oh, oh! I almost forgot! I have something to show you! Let me just get it out of my backpack... okay! It's um, it's not much, but it's some bits I've saved up for you! I was going to wait until I got more, but I was so excited I really wanna show it to you now. I've been searching around for them during recess, and, and selling bracelets and some stuff I don't need to other foals at school! I didn't count how much is in there, but it's so you can buy a bed for yourself! Heh...

Excuse me, everypony. I have to go cry like an emotional little sissy now.

My heart wasn’t ready for this.
