The Long and Winding Road · 5:17am Apr 23rd, 2013

So yeah. It's been a while, huh? I can try and blame a vast multitude of things on why I haven't been doing really anything recently, but that'd only be half true.

But making excuses for my lack of activity isn't why I'm here right now.

My college senior design project is in its last week, meaning once Saturday's presentation is over, I'm free from its evil clutches forevermore. And yes, I do actually want to write some stuff again; pony and maybe even non-pony. I won't lie: I've been deliberately distancing myself from the fandom in recent months, for many reasons, some of which have to do with the colossal amount of drama that is always going on, but also it has to do with a combination of burnout and disinterest. I greatly enjoyed the fandom in its early days, and around season 2, but as season 3 rolled through, I found myself not actively pursuing new episodes, and I didn't mind.

But whatever. I have a 20 page report on thermoelectrics to have written up by friday, as well as a kick-ass presentation for saturday. But after that I think I'm going to start with a short one-shot. Don't know what of, but I want to use it mainly to get me back into the swing of things. I haven't written a story in well over a year to my best knowledge when I finished Ten Days, and hell, maybe I'll pick Ring of Fire back up. I still have all the notes for it. Oh and that mysterious LMS sequel. We'll see about working on that. Who knows? Maybe my muse will decide to stop by and hang out for a bit.

We'll see. I'll still have finals to worry about later in May, but aside from Summer classes I will have plenty of free time this summer.

And because I miss you all, have some music.
