    That should do it.

    I had three stories on the 30-minute pony site which were never published here. They are now.

    In 2015, many of the projects I had been halfheartedly working on since I got into ponies in 2011 and should have finished by then died when my computer did.

    A couple years ago, I found an old flash drive which had copies of some of the stories on it.

    What does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

    Health Update Update

    Looks like the Big Brain BBQ is being postponed until they see how well Lorlatinib deals with the unwelcome guests in my skull.

    I've been taking it a little over a week and I think I've noticed an improvement. I know I feel physically better than I did on my old drug, and my mind's been feeling a little clearer, too.

    Health Update

    So after almost five years of living with cancer, I got told on Sep. 29th that there was a spot on one of my MRIs which was 'probably nothing'. Then they told me I had three tumors on my brain and said zapping them individually would be easy.

    Good news, I'm alive!

    So, at the time of my last blog I not only had cancer, but I was also suffering from pneumonia. This was the week after my first hospital visit, where they basically did a bunch of tests and gave me risky heart surgery because there was a sac full of fluid crushing it.

    So, it's been a few years...

    Anything new with you?

    Me, i'm dying.

    Long story short I went to the doctor for what I thought was sciatica and turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized throughout my whole body and reached my back. I never smoked. I never hung out around smokers. It's just one of those things.

    I've got 3-6 months left, apparently, though I plan to fight for more.

That should do it. · 9:27pm Oct 29th, 2022

I had three stories on the 30-minute pony site which were never published here. They are now.

In 2015, many of the projects I had been halfheartedly working on since I got into ponies in 2011 and should have finished by then died when my computer did.

A couple years ago, I found an old flash drive which had copies of some of the stories on it.

What does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THAT MEANS!

NOTHING!!

Because they were encoded several iterations of Microsoft Word ago and came out as total gibberish when I tried to open them!

What a funny joke, huh? Huh!?

But then, more recently, I remembered that Stupid Young Me had once preferred to use Notepad over Office/Word!

So I ran the old half-finished fics and world notes through WordPad and got...?

MORE GIBBERISH! AHAHAHAAAARGH!

But then I found letters and the occasional word interspersed between nonsense symbols and if I fished oh, so carefully, I could pick out several the fanfics I barely worked on and gave up on before my computer crashed!

So I spent hours doing that and then I went insane!

But if I don't die first, and if I ever get interested in ponies again like I was interested before the third and fourth seasons made me give up?

Well, I dunno.

See, I didn't die and now I'm a nuisance.

Happy to hear you were (eventually) able to dig them out! Just going off a quick skim, they were pretty neat!
