Minus

Chapter1. Yesterday.

Yes I'm Minus. Yes, first house, first street. Do I know you? Oh, sorry. Okay, I'll tell you what I can.

I should have set an alarm, because I got up at about 4:30PM. It takes me a long time to wake up, so that was a bad start. My roomate had come home and I am so thankful they were that loud. I got myself ready in time to get to the center and set things up. I opened at 6PM and the members came in. I don't feel comfortable telling you about them, I know there's no doctor patient confidentiality type thing for this, but they trust me you know.

Who do I start with. Double M is a white earth pony with a black mane, and a very unlucky life. There's Flint, yellow earth pony, Algorithm blue unicorn, Minty the green and brown earth pony. The three of them are in a relationship. I don't know the details because I chose not to ask. Vee sometimes comes, and is a purple pegasus, and Starfall too who's a white earth pony. But those two weren't there last night. They often don't, and I'll tell you why. At the start of every week, as this was, I ask the group to do something constructive. Something to remind them that they are still capable, and to keep trying. I usually go for art as it'll always look like they're great at that, once you've seen the rubbish at the art gallery here. They'll put anything in there. There was a "Careful, wet floor" sign there and I kid you not, I couldnt tell if it was part of the exhibit or not!

Sorry, that wasn't the question you asked. I told them they should collect the wrappers and such from anything they used, and create a collage with it. Oh Chess Piece was there too, my co-worker. He's a unicorn that's pale blue with the same shade of green in his mane as mine. Sorry I forgot him, I didn't think to include other staff. I only just remembered because he kept mispronouncing "collage". It's a shame he doesn't partake in these little projects, I think he could use a bit of help himself. Oh well, he just seems, distant. He's kinda strict, stubborn, and holds onto outdated ideas. You'd think he was really old the way he talks, but he's younger than me. But I don't think anyone in the group would do anything bad. Not illegal bad.

I spent most of the time listening to Double M talk about-, no I don't know what the M stands for. He was talking about wanting a marefriend. And I regret how harsh I was giving him advice. I've had this exact same situation before, before I became a part of this group. This orange pegasus was a mess begging for a marefriend so pathetically. I was harsh in trying to bring him out of his fantasy, and that went poorly. I probaly shouldn't be doing this job, I'd be better off as a regular member I sometimes think. Damnit, sorry, back on track. The trio added in some advice too, but they're odd. Even I can't get behind what they've got going on. The small turnout meant we stayed on this topic for a while without getting around to anyone else.

Things ended at 9PM as usual. It got very cold, even jogging home didnt warm me up much. Got in to a nice warm pizza on the couch with my thoughtful roomate. I told her basically what I'm telling you now. A more vivid version. I'm really tired. I mean I was really tired, but I am now too. I wrote in my diary... I wrote in my diary the days events, oh wow, I could have gotten that out and just read it instead of struggling to remember. I am so out of it. I wrote late into the night, probably into the morning. I just couldn't sleep. Going into the next day, that would make sense. Well a little. Nevermind, it doesn't.

That is what I remember from Monday.
