    Four balloons inflated in my room. Soon to be five when I pick a color I want.

      @retl Try not to pop them all, okay?

        @remembernovember It's either that, or use scissors/tearing to release the air for the ones I didn't half-knot, though. And the China balloons are inexpensive enough that popping them all isn't too terrible a proposition. Pretty soft and thin, too, so the bangs aren't rediculous or anything.

      @retl Awesome, I have 5 inflated (3 Latex and 2 Mylar, my favorite being the FiM one still :D)

            @derpytails Thanks. :3 I've got mixed feelings on it. It's got some un-pretty defects up close, but It's also fairly squishy for the size. Makes a good plaything, though.

              @retl Yep, also, I have mixed feelings on popping myself, if they are cheaply made, then yeah, I don't mind doing it, but if it's something like from Party City or anything like it, then I'll just use Scissors and cut the bottom off and let the air off, loud pops annoy me and can cause Ear Damage, which is why I usually like to also deflate Mylars with Straws rather than popping (especially for when the FiM one fully deflates)

                @derpytails Similar case here. Unlike cartoons and stories, replacing a real balloon does cost money. I don't really do much popping as I stay with other family members, so in addition to not wanting to bother them, I don't want to leave myself in a awkward spot and draw attention to myself as well. That said, I find the idea of watching others have fun popping significantly more interesting than doing it myself. But in indulging that, I bring a lot of my own obtuse internalized symbolism into it too, so I generally keep those feelings to myself, or just leave it to the realm of fiction.

                  @retl kk :) Still, now I wonder if they'll ACTUALLY make Rubber Balloons with FiM Characters on them now that there's a Giant Heart one out :)
