Me: "I hope you like Lisa Frank!"

Me: immediately ruining the first impression with a full-size framed reproduction of the painting of Lord Vigo from Ghostbusters 2 looming over the foyer. Visitors are often distracted enough not to even notice that it hangs across from a pirate skull and crossbones flag and a queer villain pride flag.

Then they get to the living room which seems weirdly normal; tastefully matched furniture, a couple of landscapes and a reproduction Matisse on the walls, reasonable quantities of clutter on the end and coffee tables. It's almost normal enough to make one forget that the Scourge of Carpathia is watching over their shoes.

But then there's the sign by the bathroom asking guests not to use it for summoning demons. The Van Goku painting of Son Goku from Dragonball throwing a kamehameha in the style of Van Gogh's "Starry Night". A strangely ominous black and white photo of llamas hung by the basement door over a sign that reads "A little party never killed anybody".

No, that first impression was correct. Mine is a house of weirdos. =D

We all know that guy doesn't have the talk game to get ladies through the door.

I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.

She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.

If people can't love you because they can't accept that Fluttershy is best pony then that's their loss.

You still have us. Brohoof /)

Best pony? But that’s not Rainbow Dash!

That's a funny way to spell Cheese Sandwich.

My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:

In my living room at the time:

All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

70% sure she just married me for the TV.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's an awesome TV.

Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I'm guessing D was learned early on

3 CD towers, but I'm counting only 2 CDs in them. Nice setup though

"Honey, will you marry me?"

Might as well collect what you love…as long as you don’t keep them in jars it should be fine.
