    Thank you (again)

    Gonna be honest, $2185 is far more than I expected to get from that GoFundMe.

    And frankly, typing out the words "thank you" feels just way too... Simple? Condescending... ish? Just plain not enough?

    I'll just lay it all out.

    I do not have a car.

    I cannot get to and from work.

    I am more or less broke due to low paying job and so many bills.

    Due to credit issues, I do not qualify for any emergency loans.

    My car was uninsured due to the company I had deciding not to tell me there was an issue with payment and just... cancelled it. Cause why not at this point.

    I can't win

    Got in an accident.

    Car's completely fucked.

    I'm fine, I think. Hospital right now. But I seem ok by EMS standards.

    Woulda been better if I had bit it, frankly. Cause now not only am I broke, I now have no car.

    ...I just want it to end. Please?

    I can't take much more. I can't.

    2024, about as good as 2023. Which was sh!t.

    Screw 2023.

    Miserable year for me.

    Started with an asshole walmart employee getting me fired, to me being exhausted with two jobs, which didn't last so back to one job, to me barely being able to get by on my meager paychecks.

    And on top of that, my severe eczema was persistent and I was unable to find a solution because... No money and so on.

    Spare a dime for your Lurker

    Hello Legion, it's been awhile, hasn't it?

    I've never been good at this kinda thing, and while I could go on about my antics as of late, I won't and will just come out and say it.

Sunday, Day Four of the Con (Pre post shite) · 9:10pm Aug 3rd, 2014

Well.

It's over.

The closing ceremonies (which I could not get into) are going on now, and soon it will be done for the year.

I had a blast meeting so many people.

...I will miss it.

I'll give a review later. At around 6pm I'll be heading to see Guardians of the Galaxy with others.

Then, when I get home, Babylon 5. I blame WD and Chryasslid.

These posts are supposed to make me happy for you, but they make me sad for myself. :applecry:

One day, ye olde BronyCon . . .

You know, I should have asked you to [literally] drain the knowledge out of the writing panel members, so that maybe I could get a leg up on the competition here on the site.

Well, the fandom (and the show) won't be around forever, so you might want to get on that sooner rather than later! I personally couldn't stand being around so many people without wanting to start a fight. People in large groups piss me off for some reason...

Baylon 5 is the bomb. Takes a little while to get going in season one, but seasons 2 to 4 are fantastic. Unfortunately it was showing its age by season 5, but that isn't so bad either.

One day, I might be able to go to BronyCon. Glad that you had fun though.

2340835 No. You stop that right the hell now. Bronies will be around for a VERY long time after the show is over.

Well, this [former] brony is making his exit as of now.

Yeah, I hope to make bronycon one day, but honestly... I had more than I could keep up with just at BABScon and being staff for Everfree. Bronycon looks almost too big. Honestly, I wish we could have smaller cons, just more often. I hate waiting most of a year between con seasons.

2340836 Yes, you're in for a treat with Babylon 5. The CG hasn't aged too well, but I rewatched the whole thing just a couple years ago and the writing still holds up quite nicely. It basically kickstarted this entire new generation of proper, serial (rather than episodic) sci-fi and fantasy shows that can do real stories, and not just monster-of-the-week. You can basically thank B5 for everything from Stargate SG1, to Farscape, to Game of Thrones, and even Orphan Black. Plus it had some of my favorites quotes of all time.

I used to wish the universe were fair. Then one day it hit me: What if the universe were fair? Then all the awful things that happen to us in life, would happen because we deserved them. So now I take great pleasure in the general hostility and unfairness of things.
--Marcus

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: Energy, Matter, and Enlightened Self-Interest.
--G'Kar

Words have meaning and names have power. The universe began with a word. How can you have language without thought, and how can you conceive a thought without language?

I'll just go ahead and add you two to the growing list of "people Skeeter blames for watching Babylon 5"...

Whooooo
