A Few Things On My Mind · 6:30am Jan 22nd, 2015
What's up, everyone? There's a few things I want to talk about story-wise, but later.
First off, I hope everyone had a great holiday season, whether you observe anything or don't, and I hope New Year's was a blast. To those who haven't given up on their resolutions yet... keep going! I failed my 2014 resolution (to get my first kiss by the end of the year), and I've almost gave up on having a resolution. I figure, just make sure to keep my grades up in school so that I don't f-up my chance to get to Austin in the Fall. Oh, yeah, I'm almost UT bound! It's nearing the end of the first month of the new year, and I am hopeful for the rest of it. Who knows? Maybe my failed resolution from last year will actually happen by the end of this one. A guy can dream right? I don't know. It's just weird when you work at a place where you're the only single person or person that has always been single in the entire dang staff. More so when you realize you're 19. I only bring this up because one certain holiday within the next 30 days starts to exaggerate this concept of being single or not single... Valentine's Day.
This holiday in particular has always drawn out polar reactions in the people I know. Some welcome it because they get to spend a holiday with their special someone. Others that I've known have the complete opposite reaction and hate this holiday with a passion because they view it as either a gimmick for Hallmark and other related stores, or a sad reminder that they are still single. Me... I've just always banked on the candy and enjoyed stuffing my face with KitKat for at least one day. I felt bad later on (stomach-wise), but I loved the taste. Last year, I viewed it as a holiday to enjoy the ones you love, so I brought in a bag of jumbo marshmallows to lunch at school and shared it with my best friends at lunch. This year, however, I find myself wanting to do more. Finding someone, relationship-wise, has never been a major priority of mine in my life so far. I was, an am, more of a "do well in school" kind of guy who has a goal in life and will work to get to that goal, which left little room for me to actually value the idea of having a romance of any sorts in high school. If anything, I tried to avoid it. Not so much because I was scared to try (well, partly), but because I had bigger dreams than just dating a cute face in school. But then I look at my life now and realize that I will be 20 years old in December, and that I would have literally zero experience in that kind of field. It's not that I find it embarrassing, it's just that I realize that I am an legally an adult who will be on his own next year in a brand new city away from family with even more freedom to do whatever. Shouldn't dating be one of those freedoms? Not that my parents have ever held me back from trying, if anything, I think they secretly wanted me to at least show interest in someone. I want kids in the future, and I constantly think about and have little fantasies about finding love, so obviously dating is going to have to come first. So, if anything, just to get my foot in the doorway of experience, shouldn't I try something out? I ask myself these kinds of questions and finally said, "yes". So my resolution for 2015, just try to get some kind of experience. What's the worse that could happen?
Speaking of dating and love, TBATS is coming along. I just underestimated the time consumption Biology can possess. Don't worry, this won't be another 7 month hiatus like last time. Again, so so so so so so so so sorry that happened. I fear it's happening to 30 now, but TBATS is still my top priority right now. I'll go back to 30 every now and then to add onto Pinkie's B-Day. That being said, my idea to have a story on our favorite seven main character's cruddy Heart's and Hooves Day dates is probably gonna be a bust, since I haven't even started and know there is no way in hell that I can write seven dates out by Feb. 14. Eh, I'll just post them when I write them... along with all the other ideas floating in my head.
Moving on... TBATS. Which reminds me, thanks so much for the warm welcome back and for liking the idea of Blueblood becoming part of the group. Honestly didn't expect seeing StarBlood or BlueStar hopefuls, but I won't say what I've got planned for them. What I can say is that once Blue's chapter about his party comes into play, you will like them even more than I hope you already do. Cady on the other hoof, well, lets just say there's gonna be some powerful stuff at that party going on, and it's gonna make Shining's homecoming all the more better. (I hope) Ch. 22 ("Movie Night") is definitely gonna try and build on a few elements I've had building and starting to build; Shining's time in boot camp and his friendships made, Stardust talking more about her upcoming move, Blueblood's growing friendship, and... the ELITE! I am having way too much fun with this.
That's all from me for now, and in honor of the upcoming holiday of love (or loneliness, whichever you prefer),I give you... pics of my OTP's

Aaaaaaand, just for fun, and because it is too cute
Good night everyone!

And hey, I was 26 before I ever had a real relationship, so don't feel liek some kind of shut in, alright? Relationships are tricky things, a minefield of feelings, but they're worth the effort. I say go for it. Find some attractive girl(or guy), and just start talking to them. You have literally nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Now, that said, only do it if you want. Don't try and stress yourself because others think you should.
Literally nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
I gotta remember that line. Thanks, Jake. Love the gif by the way. You're more awesome, though.
After that 7 month hiatus, I'm gonna need to go reread TBTAS.
Also, Austin you say?
I've always wanted to visit there
Hmm... Austin. Anything wrong with College Station.

I know, right? One of my best friends is an Aggie and I would've loved to go down there or she come to Austin just to see the showdown together
