Welp, tonight, I'm not even where I've been staying for the past year or so. I'm back where I used to spend my nights making my very early YT content, back at my family home in the summer house, all on my own in peace and quiet, drinking a vanilla macchiato. I'm also surrounded by lit candles and Christmas lights, which is important because...Christmas stuff. I promise I'm not doing a satanic Christmas ritual involving sacrificial elements!

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this very, very early this morning. For some reason, that's mostly when I become philosophical and thoughtful. I wanted to share this with you, see if it will clear anything up about me or give you an insight into the jumbled mess that's my mind.

At 8PM GMT time zone, a premiere of a re-recording of Bearing the Weight will air on my channel, and I'd love it if some of you can make it over there if you're in the UK time zone. Of course, you can still view it after the scheduled premiere, but I'll be grateful for the support otherwise!

Ladies and gentlemen, it has happened...

FireRain has just hit 1K Subscribers!

Omg. It has finally happened! The milestone has been reached!

Never thought I'd ever get this far, but it's great to know I did, and it's thanks to everyone who supported me. I'm trying to take all of this in right now...

Rather than answer all of your comments on A Girl and Her Alligator individually, I think that writing a blog to address some of your questions / complaints will be more easier.

First of all, I would like to say thanks for helping the story reach the featured box. I didn't have high expectations for it to begin with, but it managed to surprise me with how many views and ratings it got within only minutes of it passing moderation.

Second, let's get down to the point of this blog.

It's almost a year since I found out that one of my family members, Pat, had died in hospital. The reason as to why, well, let's just say that one of them was alcohol and the other was someone that I hate even more, to a point I didn't even think was possible. I won't say who, but I will say that she is partly to blame for his death.

You ever had one of those days or moments when you feel like the biggest jerk alive? I'm sorry this has been my mindset recently, but some recent conversations and being able to think for myself over a specific subject has made me question literally everything. It's not often I admit this, but I'm going to man up and say it right here:

I was in the wrong.

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.

I think I may disappear for a while.

I need time to myself desperately and I happen to have a talent at not being found when I don't want to be. It's my strong-suit.

I'm going to log off sometime across the next few days, so my account will be idling until I return. I'm trying to plan my next move in life, job hunt, sort some things out, the usual. Clear my mind a little before I snap and scream.

I'll see you all on the other side. 💛

Peace, love, empathy,

Story time! I've pondered telling this story for quite a while now, and I think I'll give it a go and tell it today, simply for the sake of it.

It's Valentines Day again.

It's a day of love and cherishing for loved ones. We're not talking about strictly only girls and boys in relationships, we're talking everybody, no matter who you are, on a global scale. I only hope your Valentines Day isn't spent sat in school where you're all made to pretend being nice to those around you, even if you have nothing in common, and your teacher orders you all to make a deposit cards to each other. We saw how that ended up in The Simpsons...

I felt bad about this one. I had promised a friend that I'd get around to finishing it over a year ago but never had the chance or energy to do so in the middle of a move. I had nothing to do in this pain-in-the-ass lockdown, so I decided to finish what I had started. Here's the end result -

Well, I've finally cut the cord on something you might call me crazy for.

I'm not going to drink carbonated drinks anymore. At all.

I do have my reasons, and a very good one, but I'm honestly not a fan like I used to be. As much as I love Coke Zero, the damage that stuff can do to you...well, there's a video of it on YouTube. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out. It's...thought-provoking. Did I mention it has the power to quickly make you switch drink choice to water?

So...I had a beyond weird dream last night related to coronavirus. Not weird as in awful, like it was a scene from a horror film, but in an oddly comedic way.

Let's see...

• New chair office chair: check.
• New office fridge: check.
• Stock said fridge full of Kinder and Galaxy chocolate: check.
• Assemble footrest attached to office chair and chill: check.
• Have fan turned on high power and have it blow cold-ish wind at your body: check.
• Play and watch your favourite film of all time while chilling out: check.
• For once feel relaxed and comfortable: double check.

One more way and I'll find my home,
Where the water's cold, I know you'll be there,
See me in the shimmer of the glow,
I'm waiting to fade away,
In this house, I'm not home,
When it rains, I know I won't be heard,
Pay no mind to the screams of agony through the trees,
I won't dare breathe and you'll find a smile,
I know I'm done and gone,
I see it in your eyes, the flame of apathy,
In retrospect, I feel obliged to offer the comfort of soundless objection,

I've gone out and bought some new acrylics to make synthetic rust and grime patterns for making Nuka Cola Cherry bottle caps. I've also updated my regular Nuka Cola caps by giving them a grimy makeover too! ONLY SHIPS TO UK!

I've always wondered if I can even write a good, well-knit story. In the past, friends I've made in the early days of being a writer on and off Fimfic have told me I'm too hard on myself. True, I know I am. It's because I don't want to suck. Even if it's for a hobby and it's not serious, I don't want to suck.

I worked my ASS off trying to get this one to work out. I tried to make it as immersive as possible and if you're a fan of Fallout, this is inspired by it, but it is NOT a Fallout: Equestria story at all. It would mean a lot to me if you joined in and gave it a listen, and at least then all the hard work and time I put into this one won't be in vain and for literally nothing. There goes like 3-4 hours of editing time if that is the case, and that's discounting the time it took me to source the
