    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    Blinded by Delight

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    EFNW

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

Uber Haiku · 6:40pm Feb 23rd, 2014

Recently I got the bizarre challenge to write an Uber Haiku.

Naturally, I accepted, because it sounded stupid enough to be awesome.

The goal is to make a series of haikus that, when you take the first letter of each line, forms another haiku.

Now, for your amusement, wondrous followers, here's what I came up with.

Tea leaves simmering
Hot to the slightest of touch
It quenches the mind

Swaying branches sound
Hirsute observers notice
A cool wind most mild

Isolating sky
Kindred spirits dwell below
Under shared heavens

Competent in what
On this the poor mind must dwell
Melancholy muse

Plummeting too fast
Life flashes before the eyes
Enchanting regrets

The sun brings forth dawn
Exciting day yet to come
Welcoming weekend

Everything is clear
Moving hand of fate will steer
On a journey, blind

Velocity peaks
Endurance stretched to limits
Orbiting craft soars

Nothing more for it
The old girl’s beyond repair
Of course there’s duck tape...

Golden rays of light
Receding umbra of the night
Everything looks bright

A broken remote
T.V is stuck on that show.
Excrutiating

Removing their shoes
Then putting down lego bricks
How wicked I am

I see jive turkeys
Not getting my hep speak and
Ginchy lingo, man

Slovenly workspace
Laziness redoubles when
I’m forced to find stuff

Kingdom of scholars
Empire of the cerebral
Palace of the mind

University
Now highschool, only costs more
Students must lament

Ambidextrous hands
Never foiled by Dread Pirates
Dextrous left and right

Leaves of amber crunch
In sight of yellows and browns
Must be autumn soon

Excrutiating
Reusing words to finish
It’s the second last

Cease now. pencil down
Kindly hand in your work. please
So it can be marked

(This haiku complete
We move on to greater things
Like puns and limericks)

Yes, we must have limericks. :ajsmug:

Masterfully done. Now what about an überlimerick? :raritywink:

In any case, I may have to try my hand at this.
