    My Very Last Blog Post - Goodbye

    As of now, I think the time has come to finally abandon my Fimfiction page. I don't particularly want any involvement in the MLP community any longer and I hold no interest in continuing to be an active member. While my page remains open to everyone, I've logged out permanently and don't think I'll return to it or use it again. No more blogs, no more stories, no related content - it's over.

    I'm never going to be the person that... (Facts of life)

    I'm never going to be the person who goes out drinking with friends in the pub at the end of the week,
    I'm never going to be the person to enter a stable relationship,
    I'm never going to be the person to cry for those who won't cry for me,
    I'm never going to be the person who gives up over a little tough break,

    Either stay or leave. Don't play me about.

    If you're staying, stay.

    If you're playing around with me, kindly fuck off. I'm not in the mood.

    Either follow or don't follow. It really is that simple. Make up your mind already.

    Thank you. :ajsleepy:

    Need a distraction from your low mood? Here's an old photo of my guinea pig :3

    Because I'm sad and because my guinea pig is an adorable fwubby enchanted squeaking potato, here's Oscar laying down and snuggling into his brother, Guinness's guinea bum. Don't ask why he did that, just look at how cute he's being. Requires all the ear rubs. Should have called him Sir Purrsalot. 🐹

    ''Applejack, are you gay?'' French Translation - if you're interested.

    Back when I introduced this story a few years ago, I was approached by a French Translator called Rainbowsoarin007 and they requested me to allow them to turn my story into a French translation for viewers in that part of the world and those who speak it.

When handling a guitar, be it your own, a friend's or one in a music shop, this is the rule you should follow out of respect · 8:42am Jan 29th, 2020

In almost every single guitar video I see on YouTube, I always see one specific comment below,

Don't play it when you're wearing a studded jacket! You'll scratch the finish against your buttons and your zip!

Understandable, but let me clarify a little something for y'all: most guitars will have a lacquered finish, which is very tough to damage and scrape off. True, that doesn't mean it is scratch proof, but it removes the increased risk of damaging the pristine finish of your instrument. You've got to remember that guitars are made traditionally from ash wood, which is a solid material that's more than capable of taking a heavy beating.

Now that I've said that, I do admit that I'm a bit paranoid about damaging my own instruments when I sit and play them. I wear button-up shirts occasionally, so I worry about the buttons scratching on them while I play. I also have a tendency to be clumsy and knock my guitar's headstock against hard surfaces, in one instance knocking a small chunk of the lacquer finish off the top of the headstock on my Custom Shop LE Strat, which annoyed and upset me a bit. I may have sworn a little, too.

But please, if you're handling a guitar that isn't yours, be it a friend's or an expensive one in a guitar shop, treat it with respect and be gentle. Oh, and whatever you do, don't drop it on the floor. That's why straps were invented. Remember: to damage a guitar is like committing an act of sacrilege.

Check this out, too! -

My cousin once let me use his guitar, told me how to handle it right

Do you know how to play? Like, you ever been taught how to play a certain style, your favourite song, how to cover the basics, etc?

The people I've met that told me they tried to play but failed to do so, from what I've learned, never learn because they overcomplicate things. I've tried to teach my dad a thing or two about where to put his fingers, how to hold it, how to hold a pick and how to strum. Still not getting anywhere. Not for everybody, I suppose.

I sort of learned, but I don't think I learned well
