I am currently going through some very, very personal things IRL, but it's nothing that should concern you. I most likely wont return until tomorrow at around 2:30 Pacific Standard Time, but then again I could be wrong. Thank you all for your patience.

Before I forget to mention it, I finally bought Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright- Ace Attorney. So far, I love it. I'd say it was absolutely worth the $50 spent on it.

Hey, everypony!

Have you ever hit your head so hard you forgot how to English? This woman did.

There's a story in here somewhere, and I don't mean just an HiE.

Got some tips for writing Luna speaking in old English?

*Sighs* I just got a 71% on an essay only because I accidentally re-submitted my rough draft as the final draft. She took it as me being lazy and marked off points from my previously 93% essay.

I've been looking at road rage videos and want to prove to you American viewers out there that we have some of the worst - and funniest - road rage videos out there. I came across this one from Sunderland, so if you start the video and jump to 8:22 minutes in, you'll hear what all British guys are like when they encounter a muppet behind a steering wheel who don't understand the highway code.

Have fun!

Where's the English rain and fog when you need it?

Through a combination of getting really sick of seeing people butcher Luna's archaic speech in their fics and happening to be studying the subject at the time, a few months ago I decided to make a simple guide to writing Luna dialogue correctly. I put it off way too long, and I'm not even sure it's relevant anymore, since Luna's rehabilitation has kinda passed as a fad in the fimfiction community, but here it is anyway:
