Explanation about lack of pictures

Alright, so here's the post where I talk about my awful pictures to text ratio. I mean, I always have tons of text and hardly any pictures. Well, the answer is because I... Can't really upload photos that much? I have my own camera but it takes forever to upload photos into my ancient computer and the last time I uploaded pictures into my computer it added like 2000 pictures when I only needed like 200 and it just chewed up all this space on my computer and I don't have the time to delete them all. I haven't uploaded any pictures from my camera in ages for fear of that happening again and then taking up the rest of the storage space on my computer.

However, my dad does have a smartphone which he lets me borrow to take most of the pictures on this blog. I don't have a smartphone at the moment and have the world's shittiest phone ever. It has next to no memory and I've used so much of it up that I literally can't even send texts with pictures in them anymore for some reason?? My phone's contract finally expires this June and then I can FINALLY get a smartphone. I expect I can take loads more pictures with that so I'll probably make more posts around then. And for my 16th birthday in May I'm getting a laptop so maybe I can take some quick pictures with its camera for this blog? They won't be that good but hell it's better than three pictures and paragraphs and paragraphs of text. 

That's... basically it for now? I don't want to leave you without any pictures in this post so please enjoy these pictures of Pearl.

Some things

Happy leap day! Here are some things from Friday that I completely forgot to post about till now. So I went to Wal-Mart on Friday and found some interesting things.

Cheezey B. plushie and new McDonald's Fluttershy

Before going to Wal-Mart I got McDonald's (Hooray for healthiness!!) and got this Fluttershy toy. I don't know why but I have several Fluttershy McDonald's toys?? The first piece of G4 merchandise I got was a Fluttershy McDonald's toy, then I got one of those Cutie Mark Magic Fluttershys (or is it Fluttershies?? Idk). Or actually, two. I gave the other to my brother to destroy but he never did. Then I got this one. Her tail is a mess and I haven't actually seen if it changes color outside because this weekend I was too lazy to do that. 

Onto Cheezey B. I found him on this Easter display near some Easter crap with a bunch of other new Shopkins plushies like Suzie Sundae. I saw a picture of his plushie around a week ago and thought he was so cute and I was super surprised to see him at Wal-Mart!! He's so cute and cuddly. However, the threads holding his right arm down were loose and wound up snapping Saturday morning so I just snipped his other arm free and now he looks like he's constantly reaching out to give me a hug. <3

Funny story time: I was talking to my brother at Wal-Mart and he reached to grab Cheezey B. from me and I said in this deep voice, "DON'T TOUCH HIM GOD DAMNIT!!" and right as I said that this ginger kid from my chemistry class walked by. I hoped he didn't recognize me lmao but I sat in front of him in English II and I don't see how he couldn't at least vaguely recognize me. I also saw several other people I recognized from school, including this chipmunk-cheeked asshole guy I used to be friends with when I was like six. Ah well I'm rambling now. I have too much text in my posts and not enough pictures. More about that in another post. Anyway, let's move onto...

A beautiful filly I like to call the "Kill Me Now Fakie"

These guys actually weren't in the toy aisle, they were down near bikes and stuff. The Kill Me Now Fakie came with like three other ponies and they all had "normal" muzzles but this one for some reason had the G3.5/G4 muzzle. Anyway I thought it was hilarious so I took a picture of it. You can find more pictures of these fakies in Veni Vidi Dolli's Flicker stream.

If anybody who might be reading this is a 2000s kid like me you might remember Wonder Balls. They were chocolate balls filled with candies and stickers and other things. I remember when I was little I used to like to get the Spongebob ones. But of course they were discontinued because some idiots let their kids swallow some stuff or they posed a choking hazard or SOMETHING. The whole world cried. Of course, now Wal-Mart sells those "Yowies" which are monsters that have these giant capsules inside them that nobody could possibly swallow and they contain little animal figures inside. I got one once this summer and it was so hot that the chocolate literally melted when I started touching it so I had to eat it really fast and it tasted like SHIT and gave me a stomach ache. So, yeah, not buying those again. And of course America doesn't allow Kinder Eggs, so I've got no surprise chocolatey goodness to look forward to. Woe is me. 

So all that jibber jabber aside, you can probably imagine how happy and surprised I was when I saw the Wonder Ball logo in the candy section next to the check-out. And you can imagine my absolute disgust and absolute unbridled RAGE when I saw those goddamn over-advertised one-eyed Twinkie fuckers with the overalls on them. You know what I'm talking about.

HOW DAAAARE YOU

(excuse my pink thumb lmao)

Like, why. Nobody asked for this. Nobody ever asked for this... this disgrace to my childhood. 

Alright, so here's the end of the post. Bye for now!

URL change & The Grossery Gang

Alright, so anyone who comes here has probably noticed that my URL has changed from cherryrambles to aka-cherry, and that's just to match my Tumblr URL and some of the usernames I have for my accounts elsewhere.

Aside from that I just wanna say how excited I am for Moose's newest toy line, The Grossery Gang. It's a spin-off of their discontinued line, The Trash Pack. They literally look exactly the same as Trash Pack but apparently there aren't as many hidden characters in the packaging, which I prefer to the old Trash Pack packages where most of the characters were hidden.

I only have like 30 Trashies, and I just love the Trash Pack but they were discontinued very soon after I got into them which was a real disappointment. But now with the Grossery Gang, I can fill the void the Trash Pack left in my heart! ...Okay, that was exaggerating it just a bit but I hope you get what I mean.

I don't know what else to put so I guess that's the end of this post.

Today's finds

Wow I've been neglecting this blog a lot. Anyway I went to an indoor flea market today and found a bunch of goodies. Accompanying me on this oddly warm February afternoon was my newest pony, Baby Graffiti!

"You just got me yesterday, now you're looking for other ponies? Hmph. The nerve." 

The first interesting thing I found today was this plushie. It's nothing really special, but thanks to those cheap GoAnimate videos Caillou has been ruined for me. 

"Kayloo you are GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED 

for 54665498746514679 years."

I also found the coolest sunglasses ever. They're rose tinted, gold-rimmed, and are from around the 70s or 80s. I usually don't wear sunglasses but these ones just seemed to speak to me.

God I love them.

Something I found that made me laugh was this old 1949 Christmas book that I flipped through and I happened to find this page that killed me. 

A Gay Nineties Christmas

If you look in the background of that picture you might be able to see... Barbie?! Yeah, this flea market has TONS of Barbies there all the time. I mean TONS. I've only been able to find a handful of ponies there over the course of a few years but I've bought over 20 Barbies from there, mostly from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. I found a reproduction of the Twist N Turn Barbie in box for like $26 but didn't get that or take a picture of it. I did, however, almost shit my pants when I saw these two for $15 a piece. 

A 35th anniversary reproduction of the very first ponytail Barbie from 1959!

Another reproduction of Barbie in this very long, beautiful black dress called "Solo in the Spotlight."

I could only get one of them, and it was pretty tough choosing. I could get Barbie in this absolutely stunning outfit, or I could get a reproduction of the ORIGINAL Barbie. I wound up getting the original Barbie because, hey, it's the first one! I also like the arched eyebrows on that Barbie better that the Solo in the Spotlight one. 

The top of the box on the Barbie I did buy was ripped and there was a book inside that moved around whenever you shook it so I just took her out of the box. Hell, even if the box was perfect I would've taken her out because that's just the kind of person I am. Uh oh, looks like the doll police is coming after me!! Honestly the only toy I'd ever leave MIB would be a pony because they're my favorite toys ever.

Oh well, that's all for now! 

Mirror Mirror mini-restoration??

Wow I haven't made any posts in ages. I really haven't had anything to post about?? Anyway this is a post about how I sort of restored my Mirror Mirror pony. I got her for only a little over $5 and of course she has some stray marks on her. I always noticed some of them but yesterday night I noticed she had more than I'd though so today after I came home from school I took them off with nail polish remover--I used Target's name brand if you're curious. I used their brand to get the excess cutie marks off my Cutie Mark Magic ponies.

Anyway, here are the before picture of Mirror Mirror. They aren't great, but they turned out the best out of all the photos I took:

Why yes, that is my Tumblr! I used my Tumblr because

I also posted about it on there and I put watermarks

on everything I post on there (and not here) because I figure

more people see it there than they would here.

Sorry if that logic is a little weird but I don't know

how else to explain it?

A closer view. She had a white mark on her neck.

(With my cat photobombing it in the corner)

Some marks on her left forehoof and a pen mark on the side of her right back hoof.

When I took off the marks, the acetone also took off a layer of dirt on Mirror Mirror so I scrubbed at her a little more intensely with a Q-tip covered in soap. 

Wow, a black watermark this time!

In hindsight I should've used this angle in the before picture so you 

could see the pen mark better. Oh well.

That's all for this post I guess. If you got this far then you deserve this bonus picture of Glow and Mirror Mirror looking absolutely adorable:

I think they look so cute from this angle.

Well, bye for now!

Why I'm Cherry

Okay so my real name is Audrey as I've mentioned in other posts but this blog is called "Cherry Rambles." Well, I'll tell you why and I'll try to make it short. In December 2012 I got my first G4 MLP, Cherry Berry. I became obsessed with her and named all my online profiles after her. Because Cherry was in my username everybody just started calling me that so now that's what I go by online.

The pony that started it all.

Full-sized Lalaloopsy Collection

Alright, alright. I'm bored so I decided I'm gonna make this post about my full-sized Lalaloopsy collection. I've been collecting them since May 2011 but haven't bought any recently because I'm not really into Lalaloopsy anymore. Here they all are: (Sorry about the lighting)

13 Lalas and 6 Littles

My regular full-sized Lalas are: (in order from left to right)

Suzette La Sweet

Silly Hair Peanut Big Top

Tippy Tumbleina 

Prairie Dusty Trials

Little Bah Peep

Pearly Seafoam (we share the same birthday, which is the only reason I got her)

Dot Starlight 

Forest Evergreen

Teddy Honey Pots

Mango Tiki Wiki

Sweetie Candy Ribbon (I almost forgot her name!)

Queenie Red Heart

Coral Sea Shells

I got Mango at a thrift store without her pet, and she's in Snowy Fairest's shoes. And my Pearly Seafoam has some paint missing on her torso because she's painted with a different kind of paint and when I was trying to get her out of the box I used a huge pair of scissors to cut through these tough wires holding her body down and some of her paint flaked off. :/ Now onto my Littles! 

My Littles are: (in order from left to right)

Mimi La Sweet

Silly Hair Squirt Lil Top

Twisty Tumbleina

Trouble Dusty Trails (wouldn't Meadow have been a cute name for her?)

Whiskers Lion's Roar

Sprinkles Spice Cookie

Sprinkles I also got at a thrift store without her pet, shoes, or apron. I think she should have little shorts too but she didn't have those either. I really wish I had Bow Bah Peep, Little Bah Peep's sister, because Little Bah Peep is one of my all time favorites and I think Bow is really, really cute but sadly I was never able to find her in my stores. I wasn't able to find any of those flower minis either, but apparently that was common I think? I don't know, I don't really care that much about Lalaloopsy anyway. I used to absolutely love them a couple years ago, though. I played with the minis all the time but never really played with these full sized ones. It's pretty stupid wasting all that money on them if I don't even play with them and they just take up space. 

Oh, and here are their pets. Poor lighting again, sorry.

(If you look in the top right corner you can see my cat!)

You can clearly see I have Snowy Fairest's squirrel even though I don't have Snowy herself. That actually came with Sprinkles at the thrift store! I wonder if Sprinkles, Mango, and the squirrel were all once owned by the same person considering Mango's in Snowy's shoes and Sprinkles came with Snowy's squirrel... We'll never know! (BTW if you're wondering why they're in a sled it's because I store all my full sized Lalaloopsy in a sled under my bed)

That's all I have for now! Before I end this post I'd like to leave you with a picture of my cat Rico and Prairie's pet cactus who at one point I named Spike: 

Rico: "Get this THING away from me, you crazy idiot!"

Well, that's all I have for now. Goodbye!
