I spent the last 12 hours assembling and struggling with my new computer, discovering the joys of everything from poorly applied thermal paste to improperly connected memory to not-entirely-plugged-in SATA drives.

But at last, I finally live in the world of the SSD, with 32 gigabytes of RAM.

Right now, my computer is installing Windows 10 (huzzah for free OS upgrades), and while it still has my old video card in it (and likely will for several months), it is otherwise up and running.

happy, that's how you made me feel
many times
but now, i feel like you're ignoring me
(couldn't think of a rhyme)

why? you refuse to tell me
though you used to
please answer my question
what did i do?

is it something i said?
is it something i did?

is it something i'm doing?
is it something i'm trying?

you're one of my best friends
or you were
friends don't do this to friends
you're not her

you're not the perky, fun girl i met last year
you're someone i don't know

So I just wrote some meme-tastic stuff, and my 'Gaben Vs. The Burrito Bureaucracy' story is about to reach 800 views. So basically I'm happy that I can divert energy into writing some garbage. Thanks for reading and I'll write a new story or finish that Filthy Frank one at some point, idk, I'll get around doing that at some point.

I guess anger is like other feelings. It's not about having them, it's what you do with them. - Autumn Blaze

This episode got very special to me, a gift in times where I need it most.
It contains two very important lessons:

Getting angry and letting out your anger in controlled ways is not wrong.

and

You can only have positive feelings if you have negative feelings as well.

so i'm sick

again

why am i always sick wtff

anyway i'm sick and tired

and i need to write and draw and oh my glob someone save me from the hell that is coughing and runny noses

I opened the site this afternoon and found this, I never understood if it's actually 'featured' or 'popular', or if both are the same. But anyways, thank you for the support

Writing is one of the only things that make feel better and productive, so seeing that at least I'm getting some kind of positive feedback cheers me up a bit.

Apparently legendoflink drew a thing for this story over a year ago.

Description:
"Sighing, you tuck Pinkie under your arm and walk into the living room. Pinkie stretches her legs out to the side and makes airplane sounds as you walk."

Was reading a story and decided to draw a little snippet of it.

I stumbled upon it while scouring ponybooru for pictures of Pinka Pank. I like Pinka Pank.

Before we begin, let me just take this opportunity to thank the six people currently supporting me on Patreon, and the one individual who chose to donate via PayPal instead. You guys are all awesome. If you intend to claim a reward (Patreon's not giving me any info on that, or I just don't know how to access it), shoot me a PM and we'll get that set up.

You may have noticed I've changed my profile picture, there isn't really a deeper reason for this than the fact that "I wanted a cooler one," so I tried making one. I'm thinking I'll make another one someday; I'm not a big fan of the fact that my avatar is humanoid. I feel a little pressure whenever I see all the anthromorphs in every comments section, and I here I am with a curious mask-face and and a body made for two legs (not that you can really see any of that). I realized the

Ah, December. My other favorite month, and a host to a variety of special occasions and holidays. Lots of planning, excitement, anticipation, and a little bit of stress on the side. Well, these days, seems like the little bit of stress is a little more than it has been. Thanks, beer-bug </s>.

Over the last couple days, there was an intrusive thought that kept hounding at me for the longest time. It was in regards to my current interests and fandoms. Not about my hobby as a gamer, practice as an artist and writer, or love for the music genre of metal. It was more in regards to being a (relatively) long standing brony and how it started.

I’m am starting another blog post series to go along with my Reviews and Favorite quotes….

I’m calling it the Reading Reaction where I pick a long story and I do my initial “reaction” along the way as I read it and post all my thoughts on the story as I read it.

The first story to get this treatment is Sweetie Belle gains a soul by Bad Dragon.

And once my Reading Reaction is over I shall present the review he requested.

I don’t know what I’m smelling anymore.
I smell wood. There is no wood. Just air. It makes me sick.
I wish there was wood. Then I wouldn’t feel so lonely.

I smell leaves.
They’re new. Except they’re not. They’re dead. They’ve been dead. They crunch under my feet as I walk.
Crunch crunch. Like chips.
I wish i had chips.

Walking is dumb. Flying is better.
I try and fly. I scrape my knee. It hurts. I watch the blood run down my leg.
I don’t feel it. It’s just there.

I hear voices.

Previously, on The Hat Man's blog posts...

Hats: You guys want an Applejack chapter or a shipping chapter?

Readers: Applejack!

Hats: Okay.

A few Readers: And later on, more shipping! Twilight x Gadget is yummy!

Hats: Twilight x what now?

A few Readers: Doooo eeeeeet!

Hats: No! Look, you want it so bad, if one of you write a Twilight x Gadget fic, then I'll put it on my blog post, okay?

I've never really looked at my own body of work and tried to suss out a general theme. As far as I know, I don't really have an identity as far as what I write, at best having one for how I write. I don't know that you could sum my work on Fimfiction up in one sentence, the way you could say that Majin Syeekoh writes irreverent comedy with intermittent navel-gazing, or that Carapace and friends write fluffy romances about the contrast between sour and sweet. Of course, if you can, feel free. I

Is Yu-Gi-Oh a thing again? I keep seeing Yu-Gi-Oh fic popping up in the new stories feed. Also, can we just acknowledge that the GX theme has stupid lyrics. but great music.
