The Journal

Day 7

Woops. I guess I kind of lost track of time.
But... wow. Its been a week living in Ponyville. I love it. I love it way more then my crappy old place in Manehattan. Here, the air is fresh, the food is great, and the ponies are nice. I'm glad I could snag this place before somepony else did. Anyhow I talked more to Vinyl, and she actually offered me a job. Apparently at a lot of the parties she works at-birthday parties, celebrations, or just plain random partying-the ponies want pictures. She told me that if anypony at a party needed some pictures taken, I would be contacted. I find it really cool-I get to go to parties and they pay me! Hah! So, that was one problem taken care of. I still haven't found a key to that attic-not that I mind or anything. Apart from the attic, i've explored the rest of nook and crannies in the place. There wasn't much-after all, it's just a house. Though I did go out and explore on the edge of the woods. It wasn't as dangerous as I had heard, and looked pretty cool. I'm probably going to go on a walk deeper into it, sometime. At the first instance of danger, I swear to myself, i'll leave. Can't get hurt so soon after moving in.

I also sent my parents a letter. I had promised them before I moved that I would tell them how I am. I said all the standard things, 'love you,' 'miss you,' 'i'm doing great,' etc. I'm sure they're glad that I contacted them. Anyways, I talked more to Twilight Sparkle, who showed me some spots around town. Now I know where to get my apples and sweets-Sweet Apple Acres and Sugar Cube Corner. At the farm I met a stallion named Big Mac and a mare named Applejack. Big Mac didn't talk much, but Applejack happily greeted me to the town. She also offered me some samples of their goods. Not bad, not bad at all. At Sugarcube Corner I met Mr. and Mrs. Cake, the bakers. They seemed nice enough, and their babies were cute. Also there was a pony named Pinkie Pie who was living there. She enthusiastically greeted me-and to be honest, she seemed like the kind of pony who dinks too much coffee. So much energy. Still, not a bad thing. I was sure she was great at parties-which was ironic since it turned out she hosted them all the time. When I told her I would be working with Vinyl she said I was free to help out at any of her parties, which was nice. I'm still getting used to living in such an open town, though. That's not a bad thing, though. It's different, but a good kind of different. Well, i'm off to sleep. I'll try and update about what's going on more in the future.

Drifter signing off.

Holy shit... just... holy shit...
I just woke up. Oh man... I just had the. Worst. Nightmare. First one i've had in a while. I was running through the woods, and it was dark. Really dark. I could barely see beyond the flashlight I had in my mouth. It was foggy, too, restricting my vision even more. I was running from... something. I don't remember what. I found a note... but... I don't remember what it said. Then I turned around and saw... I don't know what I saw. I really don't. I don't remember. But it scared me-scared me badly. I woke up in a cold sweat with all my blankets on the floor. I hurriedly turned on the light, and not only because I needed it to write. Geez. I look out the window and of all the things to see, I see the Everfree Forest. Just great. I'm going to read a book to get my mind off this. Hopefully I can get to sleep again.
