But it needs to be perfect before I hit the publish button. Reaction to the previous chapter has made very clear I have to absolutely nail this next one to validate it and address some of the concerns people have raised. Current plans are to release tomorrow, Monday the 24th, which is Memorial Day--a time to recognize fallen soldiers as well as officially kick off the summer cookout season--here in the USA. Memorial Day should be a fitting day for a new Firefly chapter release.

It's strange to think that it's 2020 already, I remember first joining this site 3 years ago. So much time has passed between then and now. A lot has changed between those two points in the time though I cannot comprehend the massive amounts of new memories I have formed over those years. If I don't think too much about it, it honestly feels as though no time has passed at all, but the longer I think, the more I remember and the more I realize just how much has changed. It is the moments like

Wow. It’s kind of been a while since the 4th of March. Hey there, guys. Sorry about the huge gap in-between blogs. University life, you know? It’s been busy, busy, busy! So first of all, I bet half of you are wondering what’s been going on as of late? Quite a bit, to be honest. School’s finally done. Besides that, how have I been doing story-wise? Not that great either. It’s nothing to worry about, though. What’s been going on here is that I’ve just not had the pleasure of time being kind to

I see a rainbow. But the colours are all wrong!

Red is now orange.

Orange is now Yellow.

Yellow is now Green.

Green is now Blue.

Blue is now Purple.

Purple is now Pink.

A rainbow has 7 colours. How many colours am I seeing? (Don’t go and count; try and remember! xD

Sound off~! I have 2 questions for you!
1: Shaping Shadow - How are you liking chapters about the others, Cardinal Spitfire, Golden Dawn, Deke and Olive Pit?
2: How are you liking Dragon War? Its going to be a series.
And I guess I'll go for a third question:

Three years ago today, my second-dad figure passed away in hospital after entering with liver failure. Sadly, I found out two days later while at my gf's grandmother's house, which hurt considerably more given that I wasn't in the country at the time, despite my protests, and was forced to miss the funeral.

November 1, 2014. I was at 176 followers.

Jesus Christ.

I've been just rewatching some of my old livestreams. Damn, now I understand how bad my mic was. I hope it isn't as bad as it was approximately a year and a half ago.

Time flies. I can't believe I've even made it this far. I'm just glad that you all have stuck with me.

Oh, and for an even bigger throwback:

If anyone...ANYONE...remembers

this,

this,

or any of these titles,

I will love you. I'll even put it in a comment! X3 MUH CHILDHOOD!!!!!

No country will ever fully live up to its ideals. Human weakness guarantees that even the greatest and noblest of nations will still have its demons.

This does not mean that we should abandon the struggle. Excellence may be achieved in pursuing perfection. Even when we fall short, there is grace in striving. A nation may not be made flawless, but it can be made better.

Wow. It's really been, what, six to seven years now?

Time has passed by like a dream. It's as if my childhood was swept away by the wind.

I'm no longer nine years old; I'm an angsty fifteen-year-old now.

Looking back at my desire for becoming a beloved author, I am amused, to say the least. Seeing "A Derp in Time" and "Pomfalicious" again takes me back to my innocence. I'm reminded of who I was, and I compare it to who I have become.

So I’ve decided to start doing blog reviews of the official MLP series, which will eventually accompany my video reviews. Fair warning, this review assumes you have already seen the episode. Anyway…

So where to begin with this series?

What? Why? Why be like everyone else? I’m a positive reviewer, why should I start with what I hate?
(Sigh.)

To those serving, and who have served. To those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and those willing. To those I served beside,and those serving abroad. My brothers and sisters in arms

Finale of my collab with Dr. Wolf!

A/N: First and foremost, happy Easter! I hope that all of you, whatever your persuasion, are finding hope in this season of growth and rebirth.

As for today’s Highlight, I am going out of order again, but I hope that this Highlight is enjoyable. Unless something else rearranges my plans, “Vendor Hall Completion and Lip Sync Battle” will be the next Highlight to go up.

Today, is a very somber day. All American users may know what I'm talking about. It started like any other morning 14 years ago.

I'm of course talking about 9/11. A very tragic and depressing day. So I want to take this moment and remember those we've lost.

My prayers and condolences go to those who've lost loved ones that day. I can only imagine the sadness and depression people have felt on days like these.

As I said, lets remember the lives that were lost 14 years ago.
