Day 25: Fruit or Vegetable - Bad News is the only thing I could think of for this one, so I'm lucky i still have this cassette in my collection!! Vim Fuego likes the shape a stick of broccoli gives him. Google them if this means nothing to you. You won't be sorry. #febmetalpunk @kruelov https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-jcMSAwTl/?igshid=1f4se5k9lpy55

Day 20 #febmetalpunk Fav Instagram Account: @bojackhiddenjokes I went through and picked the most Metal post possible for this one. Bojack Horseman is one of the best things to watch right now for so many reasons. Not your typical cartoon horse. This instagram finds all the funny stuff in the background you may have missed, because there's no way you can ever catch everything without a little help. Bojack isn't Metal or Punk.... Or maybe he's more Metal or Punk than all of us. Probably the clown dentists are. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuG2TliA86B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c3vstyewv5bg

Long story short, I've got small fiber neuropathy after exposure to a chemical I had a bad reaction to about two and a half years ago. I was pretty sick and I didnt understand what was happening to me or how to figure it out for a really long time. Basically I never did figure it out, I just ended up putting all my stuff in the garage and starting over, living in an apartment for awhile and moving back in bare bones and just getting new stuff as I went hoping to be able to reclaim my clothes one day. Without getting into all the details, I *think* I've finally solved it. I donated about half my clothes but I still kept quite a lot of them. My dresses are more like a collection to me than a wardrobe and a lot of them are sentimental. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm having reactions to and why, but I've bought all my clothes back inside because I think they are probably fine afterall. But since there's no #febmetalpunk challenge this year and I like to spend my February telling stories, and I never was a record collector even though I crashed thier challenge every year, I thought I'd show off what I actually do collect this year. #dawnowarsdresses https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIx1hNO92u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's February! Without the #febmetalpunk challenge this year to prompt my daily storytelling, I'm probably going to try something new this year a little later today but for now here's the bulletin board. Mostly work stuff so far. Hoping to change that dynamic. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIMJgBu5vY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is me crashing the #mayvinylchallenge even though I went all digital a little over a decade ago but I love the stories the#febmetalpunk challenge brought out of me so here I am. A record to introduce yourself: They don't call me DawnOwaR for no reason. I used to be the super-thrasher of the universe until 1992 when all of the Thrash bands quit or changed or got dropped and I put Manowar's Sign of the Hammer cassette in my boombox where it stayed for about a year and then I emerged in 1993 as one of the most fanatical Manowar fans, which led to my unofficial website which led to the official website which led to Ross The Boss' website which led to umm idk me now whatever that is. Very long story very short. But this record is really fantastic no matter how many times you listen to it and Thrash, it turned out, never died afterall. Anyone who doesn't like Manowar because they think they look silly never listened to one of the good records. This band has always made me feel proud to be Metal. 🦅 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBV1e8uWdl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#febmetalpunk #fmp2022 Thank you for the consolation prizes @kruelov ❤️❤️❤️ I've always been glad for how welcome you have always made me feel even though I am not a record collector like the rest of everyone who does this challenge. Pretty sure @solarfuneral told me that I should get involved right when I was in great need of a good use of my free time. I think i hit my stride this year when I quit trying and just started telling stories. The whole month this year really just flowed right out of me naturally. I don't collect records but I certainly have stories. I'll miss this challenge next February. Hopefully I won't go back to arguing with people on facebook instead. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTA0YWOi15xqVG5o0zOn2vVhebdJdlTjCWH5I0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#febmetalpunk #fmp2022 Day 28: Goodbye 👋 - Today is my Disco Birthday 🕺 as I turn 54 on the last day of the last #febmetalpunk challenge. I'm happy to be celebrating at home, where I belong, by doing whatever I feel like doing. It's a bright sunshiny day, I slept in and had extra cuddle time with Flashy this morning. Then cake for breakfast and guess I'll just go see what the rest of 54 has in store for me. Thanks, of course, to @kruelov for hosting this challenge and to all of you record collectors who let me crash your party even though I don't even own any records. I felt like I did a solid job this year and I'll miss it. Having a prompt for what to post each day brings out a lot of good memories and frames everything in today's light. It also keeps me from getting wound up over nothing arguing about stupid things with internet trolls. I will miss it but I will try to take the idea with me to tell old stories instead of fighting with strangers. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cahk41brNLd/?utm_medium=tumblr

#febmetalpunk #fmp2022 Day 27: Punk - The Water Bottle. This is the pre-pandemic story of that time my friend's approx 13 yr old kid left her Hydroflask behind after a class in school and some kid put lewd graffiti on it. She posted it, as a mom, looking for some justice because they knew the kid that did it and this is a $$$ water bottle they ruined. Someone suggested she cover it up with stickers but she can't do that because she doesn't want to be a VSCO girl (whatever that is). This kid plays guitar and is an inspiring punk rock musician, so i point out that it'd be a lot more punk rock for her to just use the water bottle with the dick on it. In fact, it could use a few more dicks imho. Apparently this was not the right answer. But it's totally the right answer. They just bought her a new one. https://www.instagram.com/p/Caew8hSrA8e/?utm_medium=tumblr
