Finally! · 10:50pm Nov 3rd, 2012
It is Saturday, which is usually enough of a reason to celebrate. But more than that, we got power back this morning! That was four days without power, three without heat (someone lent us a generator late thursday) and two days without internet access. I would say that I'm glad it's over, but it isn't. Millions still don't have power, thousands are without homes, and fuel is becoming scarce. Some people seem optimistic, but I don't think this will be over for weeks yet, if not months.
On to a less depressing topic: If anyone at all sees this blog, you'll notice that I now have an avatar. I know that most people have screenshots from the show, or from another show they like, or they have a piece of fanart they found, or if they're a good artist, created. I know that the avatar seems a bit too eyepopping, a bit too crude, a bit too out of place. The thing is, I like it this way. I am proud of not only being different, but of being able to stick out like a sore thumb. If some think I'm strange, if they don't like me for it, so be it. I personally think more avatars should be a crude drawing the person threw together in half an hour on paint. Ok, the turtle took like 20 minutes, and the background took like 4 hours. And if you're wondering why it's a turtle? That's the only thing I trust myself to draw. If it was anything else, it would be thoroughly unrecognizable as what it was supposed to be. I may Try to draw a better turtle, but my avatar will forever remain a turtle drawn by me.
And another thing. I now have a count in my Bio to illustrate how little self control I actually have. Another example of this lack of self control is this announcement I wish to make to nopony in-particular: I may or may not have said in a previous post that I would not submit any fanfic until it was finished. Therefore, I may or may not have lied. I have done a complete one-eighty in my head, and now plan on posting any and every chapter I finish, even if I have no idea when I'll get back to the story. So, a word to the wise, which I will repeat on every story I post. Even if it is really good, be careful about your decision to track one of my stories, as it may get an update three days later, or thirty, or three-hundred. You have been warned.
Live Long and Prosper.
