Been almost a week now. Kinda surprised how fast and slow the days are going. I'm... well, I'm not dying from grief. I'm not recovered completely, and I think I need to make some changes at home before that recovery really happens, but I'm not drowning myself in alcohol or anything like that, so I guess I'm kinda middling on how I'm doing

Gaius Julius Caesar: "Caesar once, seeing some wealthy strangers at Rome, carrying up and down with them in their arms and bosoms young puppy-dogs and monkeys, embracing and making much of them, took occasion not unnaturally to ask whether the women in their country were not used to bear children; by that prince-like reprimand gravely reflecting upon persons who spend and lavish upon brute beasts that affection and kindness which nature has implanted in us to be bestowed on those of our own

In its opinion, the appeals court said Georgia’s cancellation of the execution with questionable drugs instead showed that corrections officials "were cautious and took steps to avoid a substantial risk of serious harm."

The irony on this was delicious for me.

I don't care if you don't know the Hitman franchise, this video transcends needing to know.

“Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved.”

“You can read Germane?!”

“You can read?!”

“I currently have 7 empty notebooks and I have no clue what to put in them. Suggestions?”

“Put spaghetti in it.”

“I'm currently taking suggestions from literally anyone but you.”

“Put spaghetti in it.”

“I’m currently taking suggestions from anyone but you two.”

“Put spaghetti in it.”

“I'm no longer taking suggestions.”

So a year or two ago I said in a blog that I would change my short bio every week, and I actually kept pretty close to that for a long time (if anybody noticed). But some of you (maybe) may have noticed that my current one ("I'm a linguist. I like ambiguity more than most people.") has been up for much longer than that.

This isn't so much out of laziness as simply not wanting to take down what is clearly my perfect short bio. I can't replace perfection like day-old bakery stock!

Contains a quote from the story so: spoilers.

Okay remember this part from the last chapter 'Celestia Speaks':

"Noctus and Lumina...if you are out there, if you still exist you broke the heart of your only daughter that day.

The one that never gave up.

And still hasn`t."

Maybe most of you ignored this but one crucial question in my later stories (sorry for that minor-ish spoiler) that comes to light is:

“Oh right!”

“You’re a growing girl.”

“Griffy, no!”

“So, I was going through your phone while drunk last night-”

EDIT: Maybe this project is cancelled. I'm not sure.

A SHORT passage may be anywhere from a line or two long, to a few hundred words long I guess.

If you do, can you say what they are (and where they come from, naturally)?

Also, it might be good to have some examples that can be understood and appreciated even by someone from outside the fandom.

Thank you!

Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end.

Pharynx cursed. “Shit, I forgot the stallion’s name.” He turned to the group of Changelings, slightly panicked. “Does anyone know it?”

“Nope.”

“Sorry.”

“Er…”

“Hm?”

Thorax's head peeked out behind the others. “He has two hamsters named ‘Fat Nuggies’ and ‘Lil’ Fry.’”

Pharynx frowned. “That…wasn’t what I asked…?”

His brother shrugged. “That’s all I information I know.”

*To Ember* “You look well.”

“Y-You too.”

*Puts down the chocolate bar he was eating* “Okay, enough, I can’t watch this anymore. Thorax, would you like to take Ember on a date this weekend?”

“I-I, uh…”

“Simple question, yes or no?”

“Y-Yes, yes I would.”

“Ember, would you like to go?”

Generally whenever I get paid, I use my money to help the people I know who need financial assistance.

This time around I bought myself a little treat! I have wanted to buy a mock up of the famous SCE panel from the Apollo CSMs to mount next to my work desk and I've actually purchased one!
