HAPPY YEAR OF THE SHEEP EVERYONE! (Horse year reflection) · 11:29pm Feb 19th, 2015
As of today, according to the chinese new year, it's officially the Year of the Sheep!
What does this mean for the Brony fandom?
Will season 5 air an episode with nothing but sheep?
Will there be a sudden influx of sheep OCs?
How about a plethora of alicornian-sheep creatures that slowly begin to subjugate the ponies of Equestria and will then force them to worship the almighty SHEEPLE?!?!?!?!?!
Or maybe I just wanted to use this day as an excuse to talk about the Year of the Horse and what happened to me.
I'm leaning more towards the Sheeple here
Wait....what's a "Sheeple" anyway?
Personally, I have no idea. I just know that it used to be a thing and that most everyone I know groans in utter annoyance if I try to ask them about it.
Oh! Okay!
Yep, but seriously guys. This has been an odd chinese year for me.
Around this time last year, I was just trying to write my stories like usual, but I was suffering from a MAJOR case of creativity block. Now I say "Creativity" instead of "Writer's" because I was also trying to work a Deviant Art account as well (I also had a tumblr, but we don't need to talk about that. Ever), so I had my plate full enough as it was. Also at this time, I was a Senior in High School and was trying to figure out what college I was going to head to as well.
Normal Multi-life tasking that just about everyone does right?
Not so much for me.
For me, I felt bogged down by everything and that the more I left things un-updated the more I was letting down the few people who actually watched/followed me. the more I felt that I was failing everyone, the more depressed I felt. And, of course, the more depressed I felt the more stress was building up inside of me.
Building up stress inside of yourself is never a good idea.
Long story short I suppose, I eventually got a huge back lash of depression from my DA account. I love my old friends there, but I couldn't help any of them in any meaningful way. Not only that, but I had a nasty habit of comparing myself to a lot of the other great artist's there (Also a bad idea might I add). Eventually it got too much that I just up and left everything behind.
I hate to say this, but I don't regret doing that. Sure I miss my friends, but I had to face facts. I couldn't handle keeping up with an art account, a writing account AND real life. Taking one away was the best thing I could have done.
Of course....I still had my creativity block though.....
And again, of course, my stress didn't exactly disappear either.
Some time later after leaving DA, I was having a simple conversation on Skype with some of my writing friends. I forget what we were talking about, but I definitely remember the results.
In short.....I exploded.
Exploding is bad. And very unhealthy. I wouldn't recommend it!
Not LITERALLY explode.....but my stress finally poured out after getting into an argument with someone who shall remain-
OH OH! Who was it?! WHO WAS IT?!
WHO SHALL REMAIN UNNAMED.
*Ahem* Anyway...
Shortly afterward, and I know some of you guys might remember this, I left Fimfiction altogether. I simply stopped writing and moved onto more important things in my life (Such as getting into a good college and start living on my own)
I guess I really missed writing though considering I'm now writing another pointless blog that only one or two people are going to read.
The Year of the Horse wasn't exactly my best year admittedly, but I'm still alive at least and now I'm trying again. Hopefully the almighty sheeple god will let me keep on working on my new fic (Which, BTW, I FINALLY MANAGED TO START! WOO!)
Hopefully this sheeple joke of mine won't persist throughout the year.
And now, to whoever decided to read this for whatever reason, I wish you good night and a happy Chinese New Year! GO SHEEP!
Think Freely my Friends
FLYING SHEEP-
oh wait those are just clouds.

HEY!
I KNOW YOU!
HI!
Glad that you're still here mate!

yeah I'm still here. just started back at college so no time for writing or anything much else really.
how've you been?
2812555
Pretty good all things considering. I'm working the college circuit now myself. I happen to have a lot of free time though so I'm using it for either homework (Which is 90% of the time anyway) or for writing on this new story.
And other than college on your end, how are YOU amigo?
2812575
not bad. imagination's been overactive like a bitch lately. working on a sequel to one of my stories (The Last of Us, if you haven't read it *hint hint*)

*Carefully places story in "read Later bookshelf*
I'll check it out once I've finished this prologue
And I know what you mean about imagination being crazy as of late. I'm REALLY looking forward to this new story of mine. Should come out soon if things go well enough!
Is there any rules against making a rant blog about people being horrible to each other in multiple different ways?

As far as I'm concerned, not really.
You okay on your end Pen?

Well, hopefully this year turns out way better for you. ^^
