First Autumn - Ask Lovely Laughter

Chapter 1

Dear Blog,

Today was much the same as yesterday. I woke up, took a shower, flew down to Ponyville, got my coffee. Life is monotonous, but monotony is better than excitement. That’s the only thing today that’s different than yesterday: my opinion. You know, I was wrong. I dealt with too much drama in the past couple of years. Perhaps it would be best for me to lay low and ground myself for a while. Fall into a routine, figure out who I am. That’s the question, isn’t it? The one you’re probably asking, the one I’m honestly asking myself at this point. Right now, I feel like a mish mash of all the Lovelies that I used to be. Am I the little pony who played with my sister in the woods, or am I the teenager who snuck around with lovers night after night? Am I the filly who started fights with bullies, or the mare that was happy reading a book on the roof? Am I the nerd who loved getting straight As, or the anarchist that smoked pot when my parents weren’t home? Am I who he said I was? Because no matter how hard I tried, I’m certainly not what he wanted me to be.

Ugh, this is getting really existential. Not that existentialism is a bad thing… it just gives me a headache if I think too hard. Maybe I haven’t had enough coffee yet. Or maybe I’ve had too much. UGH. Which is it?!
Let’s just move on to the questions.

@nittany-tigerasks: “Welcome to Ponyville. Hopefully, I can help you if you ever need a dress.”
Thank you, Nittany. Or do you go by Tiger? I don’t usually like to dress up, but I might need something nice if my comedy career ever gets off the ground.

@ember-hearthasks: “Hey, Ms. Laughter, long time no see! Ember Hearth, Lunar Guard? Well, former now. Wouldn’t be shocked if you don’t recall. How’re things in Ponyville?
Ah, hey Ember! It’s hard to forget that face. You always kinda terrified me! … No offense. I guess that comes in handy when you’re a guard. Remember that time you caught me trying to teepee the castle gardens? I thought I might die of fright when I turned the corner and came face to face with you. Thank Luna you’re so nice! What are you doing nowadays?

@is-the-killerasked: "Are you considering moving again?”
No, not really. Sometimes I wonder if I moved to the right place, but the job at the comedy club and the low rental rates help me power through. My other choice was Manehattan. Ha! Could you imagine? Me, getting a job in Manehattan with all my problems and lack of experience. And staying in Canterlot wasn’t an option either. I think I’ll stay here for a while.

In other news, I think I might go shopping today. Maybe look for a blanket or something. Clouds aren’t exactly the best forms of insulation. Might get a sweater too. What do you think, turtleneck? Maybe in a nice gray to bring out my eyes? Heheh…
