1904464 Nevermind.

1904476 Lol. What? I'm sure you turned that sexual in some way. :rainbowlaugh:

1904489 I didn't know what it meant until after I posted it. It didn't mean what I thought it meant at all.:twilightoops:

So is the upload today? Cos I'm going snowboarding on Sunday, and I won't have internet connection for a few days after that.

1904518 Yeah. I'm at work right now, and I'm just socializing in between tasks, but when I get home, I'll be in full edit mode until it's finished. :rainbowdetermined2:

Edit: If you didn't know, I'm his editor. :twilightsheepish:

1904521 Sweet. Until then, I'll pretend to do research on my science project while I wait.:pinkiesmile:

1904530 It might not be until this evening. I'm only about 1500 words finished. :pinkiesick: ...and I don't get off work for another hour and a half. :facehoof:

1904563 It's okay. I've got plenty of time to wait, so...wait no. Don't take you time, just don't rush yourself either. Not many people would appreciate it if you really took your time.:applejackunsure: But I can wait.

1904568 Lol. Trust me, I'm quick. I'm just stuck here at work. :raritywink:

1904573 Speaking of work, you said you're in the navy, right? What do you do for the navy. My dad's a civil engineer in the Air Force.

1904576 I'm a Hospital Corpsman. I'm like a Med Tech in the AF, but I do a lot more. I work in the inpatient pediatric ward of a hospital, and I'm also personally responsible for ordering all the medical supplies and equipment for my ward. It's a pretty important job. :twilightsheepish:

1904573 Hurry your sorry butt mister!! :rainbowlaugh: Just kidding. :unsuresweetie:


1904568 Please, no rushing the 'staff'. :rainbowlaugh:

1904593 Sounds like it! Don't think I could work in a hospital. They creep me out. Too clean and quiet and noisy at the same time. And I'm extremely introverted (becha couldn't guess), so I like quiet, neat environments.

1904610 That's probably the most logic-defying, ethical thing I'm never gonna hear again.

1904492 my sister once tried to feed me vegetarian "meat" loaf

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!! So excited!

1904593 Navy, you say? My Big Brother Best Friend Forever is in the Army, 2nd Lieutenant. Just thought I would mention that for no reason.

1904669 I'm just an enlisted. I plan on getting my nursing degree and becoming an officer though. :pinkiehappy:
1904621 You should have told her that you would eat anything for love, but you won't eat that. :rainbowlaugh:
1904610 Lol. I do treat this like a job, albeit an enjoyable one. I only ever had one job I disliked. Walmart treats their employees like crap. :pinkiesick:
1904611 Lol. I'm certainly not introverted, but I don't have any friends here either. All my friends are on the other side of the country...or on here. Surry's actually the closest friend I've got. By comparison, he's my next door neighbor, and we live on opposite ends of the state. :trixieshiftright:

Holy crap! That really is a relevant song! Did they write this for you? :rainbowlaugh:

1904875 No, but the last scene in this chapter is almost completely inspired by another one of their songs. :derpyderp1:

1904883 It was rhetorical. Lol. I know they didn't write it for you, knucklehead. :rainbowlaugh:

1904888 I knew it was rhetorical. :facehoof:

1904875
1904883
Inspired by a song, eh? Sounds so familiar... SO.... FAMILIAR.... but I can't put my finger on it...
Okay yeah, I'm just being stupid now. I was inspired by a song aswell, and named my story after it.

1904619 It'll be completely edited in two-hours time. Please be patient. I'm seriously editing as fast as I can, super-focused. Back to it, now! :rainbowdetermined2::heart:

1905235 Reading a really good Octascratch. One of the best ratings on the site in any category. It should hold me over until then.:pinkiesmile:

1905235
At first your post confused me. Then, I realized that you're editing. Then I checked and realized you're pre reading and proof reading, but also editing.

And don't feel pressured. I was merely commenting that I was amused by your conversation.

Side note, from one editor to another, when you feel pressured, you're more likely to miss something while editing. It's best to slow down (unlike Dash), drink some tea (more like Rarity), and read all the words (exactly like Twi). This'll calm you down enough to be properly focused.

1905435 Oh trust me, I'm very VERY focused under pressure, more so than usual, even. I work in a hospital, so I actually thrive under pressure. I got things done so quickly and thoroughly as to actually catch double spaces! :rainbowderp:

1904669 I'm all finished editing. Surry's stuck in traffic on his way to Maryland, but he'll be at his destination soon enough to implement my final corrections.

1905479 I must say, these status (pronounced stay-tus, which is weird cos i'm not British(sorry if that offends anyone)) updates are great. And that picture is creepy. FLY AWAY, BIRDIE!

Just to give you all an idea, I just averaged 1,000 words per 15 minutes, and I kept that up for three hours straight. I had already edited 2,000 words, so I proofread and edited (roughly) 12,000 words in a little less than 3 hours. I daresay I'm getting damn good at this. :ajsmug: It's really fun when the author is competent enough, in the first place. :rainbowkiss:

1905479 So... Exited... I must go write a blog... to prevent myself from exploding... need to think about my own story for once... It's been to long since I've touched my own story...

1905490 I just want to keep as many of his followers in the loop as possible while he's indisposed. :twilightsmile:

1905535
1905499
1905490 Making final preparations now. Chapter up in less than half an hour.

I'd just like to dedicate this song to Lady. It seems very relevant to me, and this album was my soundtrack while I edited Surry's amazing chapter. :rainbowkiss:
