This is a major inconvenience to a lot of people in the city, however, not for me--unicorns are banned from the bus anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As my regular readers will know, this has caused me much consternation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am hoping the bus drivers will relax their rules when the strike is over if I have supported them during the strike.  I plan to bring them doughnuts, sing songs for them ("Working Class Hero" by John Lennon of course!  And perhaps also "The Rainbow Connection"), and also picket with them!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know where they are picketing?

I sat on the couch and called so many people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In particular I called the mayor of London, Ontario a bunch because I wanted to offer my support to the bus drivers who are going on strike.  Yes, I support them even though unicorns are banned from their buses!!&lt;/blockquote&gt;So while I was trapped in my snuggy I had a lot of time to think.  I was thinking, "What is up with swear words?  I find them so distasteful, but yet I do understand the need for strong words sometimes, for example, when I stub my hoof or accidentally burn my angel food cake."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most swear words are based on bodily functions, such as those relating to your sexuality or your disposal of the food nutrients you no longer need.  However, I enjoy both sex and defecation, so truly, shouldn't swear words be about something else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my proposal.  I will replace our swears with swears about TRULY terrible things.  I propose this to the Human Race and also to other creatures that use swears (particularly leprechauns).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DEAR HUMAN RACE AND OTHER PROFANITY-USERS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some words you should use instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="top" bgcolor="PaleTurquoise"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current Swear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;New Proposed Swear&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;D*mn!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Cloudy Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sh*t!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unsweetened Lemonade!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;F*ck!!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just turned down for a date!!&lt;br /&gt;(Use this even if you have lots of dates, it will make folks feel sorry for you)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;C*nt!!!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basketball!!&lt;br /&gt;(seriously this is the worst sport ever so it is an excellent replacement for what many deem the worst swear word)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-3343544894679531236?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/3343544894679531236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-swears-inspired-by-my-snuggy.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/3343544894679531236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/3343544894679531236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-swears-inspired-by-my-snuggy.html' title='New swears, inspired by my snuggy!'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SwDCzc5a0JI/AAAAAAAAAvo/oj5CHgOUZx0/s72-c/snuggy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-2801667642203244849</id><published>2009-10-30T21:18:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T21:32:24.792-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ask the unicorn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UWP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>O my, how exciting!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SuuTIGPZl-I/AAAAAAAAAug/76v7vveB35A/s1600-h/proposal1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Yesterday I set my tail on fire.  Normally you would think this might be an embarrassing experience, but have you ever seen a unicorn's tail on fire??  It is a beautiful miasma of sparkles and lightening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone at Grand Bend came rushing out of their houses and their bars to the beach (where I had my bonfire) and they said "Wow, what is this storm of loveliness?  Has the apocalypse come?  By which we mean the apocalypse of splendour and wonder?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also caused a most beautiful pink and orange sunset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I explained what was happening and then some kind locals suggested that I jump in the lake to put out the fire, so I did.  Then we all gathered around the bonfire and sang songs of hope and peace.  Also we sang the theme song to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Addams Family&lt;/span&gt; because it is catchy and has a part where you snap your fingers!  (I clap my hooves together which is almost as good.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-5963110676952385803?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/5963110676952385803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-vacation-day-four.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/5963110676952385803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/5963110676952385803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-vacation-day-four.html' title='My vacation, day four!'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SrWlZmc2LvI/AAAAAAAAAuY/bi4es8hAfrY/s72-c/Sunset_at_Grand_Bend-Grand_Bend.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-2224644445139986362</id><published>2009-09-15T19:19:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T19:29:19.100-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sports'/><title type='text'>My vacation, day one!</title><content type='html'>I am in the beautiful Grand Bend, Ontario this week for a vacation!  It has been so much fun thus far, you have no idea!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I went skimboarding at the beach.  Skimboarding is when you run along the shore and then you jump onto an incoming wave and SKIM along the surface for a wild ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone there was so amazed!  "Gosh ShimmerShine," they said, "We have never seen a unicorn skimboarding before!!"  Indeed, I told them, that is because I am the first unicorn to custom design my own skimboards!!  You can see a photograph of me here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SrAi__G4siI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/ZUwCdIGrkhk/s1600-h/skimboarding.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 340px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SrAi__G4siI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/ZUwCdIGrkhk/s400/skimboarding.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381840037375160866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I have to say, there were a lot of attractive people at the beach who were into me.  Since it was my first day here, I decided to be selective and not choose one for a date yet.  Might as well think about it for a few days and pick the best one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there were two young men who had me very tempted.  They looked sort of like Nate and Chuck from Gossip Girl and I could tell they were having a conversation about me on the boardwalk.

I thought about it for a moment and then I realized: "Well, of course, it is Tuesday!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday is one of my very favourite days.  And as I am typing this, it occurs to me: tomorrow is Wednesday!!!  And Wednesday is one of my other favourite days!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O, some days I truly wish this were a video blog.  If it were, you could see me clapping my hooves together in glee and my teeth shining brightly in the moonlight as I smile in appreciation for Tuesdays and Wednesdays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am thinking to myself, woweee, I love these days so much but what about the other days?  Which ones do I love best??  My week might be so much more exciting if I could anticipate my favourite days in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I will stop typing to you for a moment and I will make a chart!  Perhaps a bar graph or a pie chart, I have not yet decided.  Hold on for one moment.  If you like you might take a moment to make some delightful hot chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay now I am done!  I must admit I am quite shocked and amazed by my findings.  Here is my chart about my favourite days of the week, as ranked in percentage of how much I enjoy them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-size:180%;" &gt;Chart of ShimmerShine's Favourite Days of the Week, As Ranked in Percentage of How Much I Enjoy Them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Sqck9nda_WI/AAAAAAAAAs4/CwKC46cT4B4/s1600-h/days_chart.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; " src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Sqck9nda_WI/AAAAAAAAAs4/CwKC46cT4B4/s400/days_chart.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379308920900353378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-6572991597267133549?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/6572991597267133549/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-favourite-days-of-week.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/6572991597267133549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/6572991597267133549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-favourite-days-of-week.html' title='My Favourite Days of the Week'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Sqck9nda_WI/AAAAAAAAAs4/CwKC46cT4B4/s72-c/days_chart.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-7473170308101918152</id><published>2009-09-07T18:53:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-07T19:01:45.820-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weaponry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UWP'/><title type='text'>Dear Smithsonian: Why are your fees so outrageous??</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" &gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SqWQxEHlXUI/AAAAAAAAAsw/-QAMtWhgPEc/s1600-h/hope_diamond.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SqWQxEHlXUI/AAAAAAAAAsw/-QAMtWhgPEc/s200/hope_diamond.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378864502557465922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Excerpted from the unicorn blog:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find that whilst doing my wedding planning I have severely underestimated my budget (you would be surprised how much costs to borrow the Hope Diamond for a measly eight hours) so I need to get a short-term job.

I've spent several months considering this (several unarmed months, which was very scary!) and I've decided to go with a switchblade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are illegal in Canada but I am pretty sure the police will be okay with me having one, since I am a unicorn and the switchblade laws likely only apply to humans, who are far less graceful than unicorns (being ungraceful with a switchblade can cause a lot of trouble!  You may stab someone other than your intended victim, which is embarrassing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I checked Knifezone: Canada's Premier Online Knife Store but alas, switchblades are &lt;a href="http://www.knifezone.ca/coldsteel/TILITE.htm"&gt;discontinued&lt;/a&gt;.  So I am still looking.  I have thought about becoming a substitute teacher and then getting a high school shop class to build one for me as a class project.

I had hoped to set up a wedding gift registry so that all of my friends and soon-to-be-friends could begin to think about how many gifts they would like to purchase for my wedding.  (I am a very considerate bride!)  (Just so you know even though I am a dude I will be the bride because that way I get to wear a veil and have flowers.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried registering with Sears online and it said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Toutes nos excuses!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;         En raison d'un probléme passager de             nature informatique, nous n'avons pu traiter             votre demande de crédit.          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sears.ca/f/index.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;Veuillez cliquer ici à retourner a la page             centrale Sears.         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;color:#000066;"&gt;We're sorry!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;             &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt; We could not process your application due to a temporary system problem.&lt;a href="http://www.sears.ca/e/index.htm"&gt;Please click here to return to the Sears home page.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Then I tried registering with The Bay and it let me register but then it said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Please contact a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);" href="http://www.hbc.com/registry/contactus.aspx?gs=GIFTREGISTRY&amp;amp;langid=EN&amp;amp;site=bay&amp;amp;lbcontact=2"&gt;Gift Registry Consultant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt; to add or delete items from your      registry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not wish to speak with a sales associate in person.  I want to set up my registry online tonight!  This is so frustrating.  I though I had found the perfect home weightlifting gym for my registry (so my future husband/wife can remain buff and handsome/beautiful) but it will not let me add this to my registry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think to cheer myself up I will watch a movie.  I will perhaps watch &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Elephant Man&lt;/span&gt;, which is always good for cheering me up, because I can think: "Well, my life may be difficult but at least I am incredibly handsome!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-1665762454911932654?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/1665762454911932654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/unicorn-wedding-planning-gift-registry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/1665762454911932654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/1665762454911932654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/unicorn-wedding-planning-gift-registry.html' title='Unicorn Wedding Planning: GIft Registry Frustration'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpX1aHZ8bqI/AAAAAAAAAsg/Jw-_bh5iW0c/s72-c/gifts.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-2103093415148714572</id><published>2009-08-25T23:13:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-26T08:56:01.587-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UWP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='writing'/><title type='text'>Unicorn Wedding Planning: Part 3: The VOWS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpSp1nxzHtI/AAAAAAAAAsY/iQN3UJUGMDY/s1600-h/scroll.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpSp1nxzHtI/AAAAAAAAAsY/iQN3UJUGMDY/s200/scroll.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374106994035859154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:85%;" &gt;Excerpted from the unicorn blog:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I wrote my wedding vows.  They are inspired by some of my favourite "Rock and Roll" music and discuss how, before I found love, I was very sad but now that I am getting married I am AWESOME!  You can see this progression throughout the vows and my deep love for the male/female that I am marrying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I have made the vows gender-neutral because I am bisexual.

You smile like the sun--kisses for everyone!  You’re looking fancy and I like your style.  The jig is up, the news is out, you’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; finally found me.

Nothing equals the splendor: s/he’s got eyes of the bluest skies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.  From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go, and all the birds in the trees, well they’ll be singing so happily.  I’ll get on my knees and pray: what ever words I say, I will always love you--everlasting life for me in a perfect world.  Your dream is over…or has it just begin?

Today I turned my question to: What religion should my future wedding be??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realized that I had no idea!  While Catholics have the most beautiful cathedrals, I do not appreciate their anti-homosexuality stance, as there is a 50% chance I will marry a member of the male gender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dabbled in Satanism once when I was younger and still pull out my pink sparkly Ouija board from time to time, but I am a little worried about the Devil showing up at my wedding and trying to make bargains.  (For this reason my wedding will not be at a crossroads.)  While I think bargains might be a lot of fun in regular life, they sure can be a downer at weddings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I thought, why not take the &lt;a href="http://www.beliefnet.com/"&gt;Beliefnet religion quiz&lt;/a&gt;?  Here are my results:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="msg Nth"&gt;1. Neo-Pagan (100%)&lt;br /&gt;2. New Age (88%)&lt;br /&gt;3. Unitarian  Universalism (83%)&lt;br /&gt;4. Scientology (74%)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly my wedding should be mostly Neo-Pagan.  I am quite all right with this because I think it will allow for beautiful witchy cloaks made from velvet (perhaps sparkly velvet).  Also I will use a lot of crystal chandeliers to show off my New Age-y side!  I have no idea what "Unitarian Universalism" is, but I definitely know Scientology and plan to honour this aspect of my spirituality by showing clips from Top Gun, a very romantic movie starring famous Scientologist Tom Cruise!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O, I am even more excited about my wedding now.  This has been a day of true joy and worthwhile planning.  I believe now I will make rock candy from sugar and water, just because I can!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-5285545697825178526?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/5285545697825178526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/unicorn-wedding-planning-part-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/5285545697825178526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/5285545697825178526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/unicorn-wedding-planning-part-2.html' title='Unicorn Wedding Planning: Part 2: Religion'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHrbE9JhuI/AAAAAAAAAsI/32bM9JepJIw/s72-c/Question_Mark_on_Stained_Glass_Photographic_Print_C11966372.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-7375877197390677650</id><published>2009-08-23T19:42:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T20:09:53.558-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UWP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>Unicorn Wedding Planning: Part 1</title><content type='html'>Today while watching a romance movie marathon of Pretty Woman, Say Anything, and Top Gun, I thought to myself, "Why do I have so little romance in my life?  What has happened to the great Prince ShimmerShine Lothario Don Giovanni de Bergerac Moondreams (which was my nickname in the mid-80s)?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realized of course that sometimes searching too hard for romance can actually scare it away.  Since I am an ardent feminist, I know that I am a whole person without a mate, and I know that this is the most beautiful thing about me and what will eventually attract my life partner and/or sexual conquests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I thought: in the meantime, I will forget about dating!  I will get started on something very important: planning my wedding.  I have many categories of decisions that I need to make so why not document them in my blog, and have all of my choices ready for when I meet that Special Someone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Choice #1: What hairstyle should my minister/officiant* have?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an important aesthetic question that many brides overlook.  I have been pondering it for nearly 45 minutes now.  Here are the options:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;The Mullet: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHYA1I4D6I/AAAAAAAAAsA/ieG1-YsNJ_o/s1600-h/mullet_stamos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHYA1I4D6I/AAAAAAAAAsA/ieG1-YsNJ_o/s200/mullet_stamos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313339205619618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pompadour:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHXyAlFyFI/AAAAAAAAArg/4rfv85nBZ5A/s1600-h/elvis0og.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHXyAlFyFI/AAAAAAAAArg/4rfv85nBZ5A/s200/elvis0og.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313084578711634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Flock of Seagulls:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX9yFO07I/AAAAAAAAAr4/67xjXa_HQdg/s1600-h/flockofseagulls.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX9yFO07I/AAAAAAAAAr4/67xjXa_HQdg/s200/flockofseagulls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313286845420466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bald:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX190QpNI/AAAAAAAAAro/tzfsPGEwOi0/s1600-h/bald_brando.JPEG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX190QpNI/AAAAAAAAAro/tzfsPGEwOi0/s200/bald_brando.JPEG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313152556508370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Shampoo Mohawk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX5eUDgTI/AAAAAAAAArw/DXAnKdgIO60/s1600-h/ferris_bueller_shower9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SpHX5eUDgTI/AAAAAAAAArw/DXAnKdgIO60/s200/ferris_bueller_shower9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313212819407154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Note: Why do I say "minister/officiant"?

In fact, if I wore a cape I could perhaps be called the Caped Crusader For The Environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday it was time for my 10:43pm shower and I realized that I also had to urinate.  It occured to me: when I am in the shower, I do not get out of it to urinate, because that would be silly and inefficient--I simply urinate in the shower.  Then the shower water (or beer on my beer shower days) rinses off my body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why am I ever urinating in the toilet??  When I do this, I have to use toilet paper to clean myself.  However, when I go in the shower I am cleaned automatically!  I have been decimating trees all these years for no reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly this has to stop!  So today I instituted a new program in which I no longer urinate into the toilet, instead, when I have to go, I take a shower.  This way I am doing both at once and saving trees, and therefore preserving the environment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have already showered seven times today (I was drinking a lot of Mountain Dew).  Just think of how much I have already saved the environment by my actions!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to writing this on my blog, I will include it in my &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Scrapbook of Pride&lt;/span&gt;.  This scrapbook is where I put drawings and notes about how I am proud of myself.  I think I will incorporate it right next to the page about the day I prank-called Mel Gibson fifteen times before breakfast.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-8740800746064105865?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/8740800746064105865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-household-is-now-toilet-paper-free.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/8740800746064105865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/8740800746064105865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-household-is-now-toilet-paper-free.html' title='My household is now toilet paper free'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SooXJm2m94I/AAAAAAAAArY/oC5_Gb7qe7c/s72-c/toilet-paper+no.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-7567421043098658211</id><published>2009-08-06T00:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T00:23:00.294-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bugs'/><title type='text'>Tent caterpillar advice sought</title><content type='html'>I have tent caterpillars in my beautiful backyard tree.

I am, after all, a stag, and it would be nice to have someplace to keep my stuff that is more awesome than my regular bags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://store.americanapparel.ca/rsafl503.html"&gt;Stag Bag&lt;/a&gt; is defined as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The perfect bag for the single guy on the go. Plenty of zipper pockets, a tangle-proof shoulder strap and structured bottom make The Stag Bag great for weekend travel or a day running around the city. &lt;/blockquote&gt;I contemplated this for a while (but not too long--I set an egg timer to be sure) and it was the "tangle-proof shoulder strap" that really made my decision for me.  I am very easily frustrated when shoulder straps get tangled in my mane, so this could greatly increase the happiness of my day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also I am a little attracted to the model.  He is definitely a stag whom I would not mind "bagging".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-2229650364217950040?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/2229650364217950040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/stag-bag.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/2229650364217950040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/2229650364217950040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/stag-bag.html' title='Stag Bag'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnohmPVaxSI/AAAAAAAAArQ/4bW_vBXtOSw/s72-c/stagbag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-8723989760207961202</id><published>2009-08-02T21:09:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T21:23:14.120-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astronomy'/><title type='text'>Although I might like it for one afternoon...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnY7mIyT9cI/AAAAAAAAArI/LcVEq1Mnpo8/s1600-h/moon-sam-rockwell-movie-poster.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnY7mIyT9cI/AAAAAAAAArI/LcVEq1Mnpo8/s200/moon-sam-rockwell-movie-poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365541532438099394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The other day I saw the fantastic cinematic film &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Moon&lt;/span&gt;!  I will not put any spoilers in my review (truth this time I promise) except that I was disappointed that they did not play the song "I don't want to live on the moon."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story however was very thought-provoking.  In it, Sam Rockwell lives on the moon by himself (except for a robot of course) for three years and is potentially going crazy!  I feel like I would probably go crazy as well in this situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was thinking, I should probably plan ahead just in case someone asks me to live on the moon, such as the government (the Canadian government has been getting on my case for a few years now about how they think unicorns should pay taxes.  I personally disagree.  But I am trying to stay on their good side so if they asked me I might go live on the moon.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if I were to live on the moon what would I take with me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 rock albums, including:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Black Sabbath - Paranoia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (tee hee this is a double album so I am sort of cheating)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ryan Adams - Magnolia Mountain (tee hee hee see my comment above!  I am so sneaky)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Complete Works of Clara Schumann performed by Susanne Grützmann (O, this one is even more than a double album!!  I am getting smarter and smarter as this list goes on)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The entire score of the HMS Pinafore by the esteemed Gilbert &amp;amp; Sullivan&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Some other things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 pairs of tap shoes &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;my glass harmonica&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;my Indiana Jones whip in case I run into any trouble &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;several cozy afghans&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a book on Canadian tax law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-8723989760207961202?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/8723989760207961202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/although-i-might-like-it-for-one.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/8723989760207961202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/8723989760207961202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/08/although-i-might-like-it-for-one.html' title='Although I might like it for one afternoon...'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnY7mIyT9cI/AAAAAAAAArI/LcVEq1Mnpo8/s72-c/moon-sam-rockwell-movie-poster.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-59202743969081728</id><published>2009-07-30T23:01:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T23:21:58.295-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='learning'/><title type='text'>I am an idealist and a champion!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnJh6RXExzI/AAAAAAAAArA/3TGBceHhkfo/s1600-h/Knight.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnJh6RXExzI/AAAAAAAAArA/3TGBceHhkfo/s200/Knight.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364457759872173874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Wowwweeeee why have I never taken the &lt;a href="http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp"&gt;Meyers-Briggs test with Keirsey temperaments&lt;/a&gt; before?

Here is my personality:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;center style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 84);"&gt;Idealist Portrait of the Champion (ENFP)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Like the other Idealists,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 84);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Champions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;like fountains that bubble and splash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;vivacious and inspiring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; of all the types.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;outstanding intuitive powers&lt;/span&gt; and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company.&lt;/span&gt; Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Also here is a bit about what kind of career I might like.  It listed several careers and I was surprised that "harpist" was not among them (since this is my destiny) but I appreciated what they had to say here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;This type of personality wants to experience the whole of life and may           change careers more often than many other types.  Says Charles, "I've had a number           of jobs and when there is nothing left to create, I move to something new.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;I want           my life to be spiced with newness, love, and joy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Charles is very wise.  I wish my life to be spiced with these spices as well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-59202743969081728?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/59202743969081728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-idealist-and-champion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/59202743969081728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/59202743969081728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-idealist-and-champion.html' title='I am an idealist and a champion!'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/SnJh6RXExzI/AAAAAAAAArA/3TGBceHhkfo/s72-c/Knight.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717374962967923799.post-6006296752227338655</id><published>2009-07-28T23:18:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-28T23:33:39.427-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sexuality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><title type='text'>Where to draw the line?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Sm_C8FdX-dI/AAAAAAAAAq4/ZHnNOjBblZA/s1600-h/twittershitter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 270px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Sm_C8FdX-dI/AAAAAAAAAq4/ZHnNOjBblZA/s400/twittershitter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363720018734873042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a pornography film entitled &lt;a href="http://www.tlavideo.com/product/4-0-292307_twitter-my-shitter.html?sn=1"&gt;Twitter My Sh*tter&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(The front cover of the DVD is most racy so I have helpfully censored it for my readers. )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do say, the use of a social networking reference in the title is extremely clever.

They were painted by Dan Lacey.  I was very very pleased to meet Mister President Obama, of course, since I have been a loyal supporter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite painting is the one pictured.  This one occurred shortly after a rousing game of Connect Four between myself and Mister Joseph Stalin and Obama and Mister Gregory House.  (We played in teams because it is a two-player or two-team game.)  Mister Stalin and I were victorious so we won some Vicodin!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also won a few other things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A manicure and pedicure for 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A spot guest-writing an episode of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;House &lt;/span&gt;for next season.  Mister Stalin kindly let me have this prize.  I think I will do a crossover episode between &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;House &lt;/span&gt;and my other favourite show, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Supernatural&lt;/span&gt;.  Doctor Chase and Dean Wincester will have sexual relations!  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Several red apples and one green one (we are going to make pie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A children's orphanage (I am not sure what we will do with this yet)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The chance to decide who the United States of America goes to war with next.

I watched so many television shows about purchasing a home. I already have a house, but I thought it might be fun to buy a couple more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the kinds of houses you can get on this television station:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A condo in a high rise in Vancouver City&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Some of these buildings are so high that I could set up a bungee cord&lt;br /&gt;and bungee off the roof!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: There are a lot of drugs in Vancouver and crime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: I could pay for my condo by selling drugs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A chalet with a chandelier by the French Alps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: French boys are sexually attractive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: I am not a big fan of skiing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: If I were near the Alps perhaps I would become a fan of skiing (do&lt;br /&gt;attractive boys ski? It is hard to tell how "ripped" they are under their&lt;br /&gt;ski suits but perhaps very ripped?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A floating house-island in a British Columbia lake somewhere&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: I could urinate right over the side of my house into the lake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: I suppose I can already do that over the side of any house, but into&lt;br /&gt;the garden, so this isn't really a pro. (Why have I not thought about&lt;br /&gt;doing this before??)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: I could paddle my house anywhere in the world, even to the&lt;br /&gt;Alps. If the Alps are flooded with water. I wonder how hard it would&lt;br /&gt;be to flood the Alps? Note to ShimmerShine's mind: remember to look into&lt;br /&gt;this before purchasing real estate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is so hard to decide!!!

One said "TAKE MY HAND NOT MY LIFE" with a charming picture of a foetus, seen in my post here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so impressed by this image that I approached the people carrying the signs.  I said "Wow, you are much more clever than I!  I never would have thought that a fireworks display would be an excellent place for an anti-choice rally!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One rather handsome young man said "Yes, but you understand, we cannot celebrate Canada's birthday while at the same time denying birth to many babies."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said "A most excellent point but do you realize that you are taking away my right to choose!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This is the spot where I hope you can see that I engaged him in a philosophical dialogue the likes of which the great sage Socrates could only dream.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said "O, but you are a male unicorn?  How are we taking away your rights?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I said "You are stealing my right to perform abortions!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said "You perform abortions???"  and then a few of his friends said "ZOMG ZOMG KILL THE UNICORN" and they all brandished chainsaws at me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Later an acquaintance told me that I misheard, and they said "Hey guys I bet the unicorn would like sparklers and cotton candy" and they tried to give me some sparklers and cotton candy and were confused when I flinched and covered my ears and eyes and screamed a little.  However I am pretty sure that my interpretation of the events here is the more correct one.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said "No, I do not perform abortions but I might one day and then you would have taken away my rights.  I demand the right to hold an abortion party."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said "What kind of snacks would you serve at this party?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I said "None"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he said "Sounds like a lame party"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I said "I think YOU are lame"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then the fireworks started and we had to cease our conversation.  I should point out that these were literal fireworks.  Although I did sense some attraction between myself and the abortion protester, we did not make out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717374962967923799-7623550077461806770?l=unicornprince.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/feeds/7623550077461806770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/07/fireworks-and-family-planning.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/7623550077461806770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717374962967923799/posts/default/7623550077461806770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unicornprince.blogspot.com/2009/07/fireworks-and-family-planning.html' title='Fireworks and family planning'/><author><name>ShimmerShine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06487912679010236026</uri><email>ask.the.unicorn@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01066012640060373851'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8WWVgRMIBB0/Skwn3CuktlI/AAAAAAAAAqo/v_DB27NjbPs/s72-c/prolife.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
