Sleepless in Philomena · 11:05am Jan 29th, 2013

I had something resembling a decent sleep schedule going for a couple of weeks. It was a valiant effort. Truly, it was. But here we are - or I am - at nearly four in the morning with naught but the sound of keystrokes and pen drops to keep the quiet away.

I'm not actually using a pen. I don't like how they feel. But, "keystrokes" is two syllables and "pencil" is already two without a verb implication and I wanted to keep things even.

Now THAT is how you make a My Little Pony episode!

It's fitting that the first letter of this season was done by the one pony who didn't learn anything in the last. Good stuff :D

In Summary of Sleepless, and Miscelaneous Plugs · 1:20am Dec 9th, 2012

1. Dream magic is canon. Sweet. I expect Twilight to dabble in this eventually if her studies continue to "the next level."

2. Thank the writers! Scoots gets some love. We treat that girl like dirt. It's about time something good happened. I wonder if they'll stick with Faust's (rumored) original intent for Scootaloo and keep her flightless.

Scarier than Nightmare Night · 4:59pm Nov 1st, 2012

I am now officially over a quarter century old. Just a hair over, but over nonetheless. If you had to round to the nearest ten it would have to be 30 instead of 20.

What the hell?! Getting old sucks. Before you know it I'll have a career and a mortgage and some other stuff only old people and highly ambitions teenagers get.

I need a drink. After class, of course.

College & Stuff · 3:48am Sep 11th, 2012

College is really eating up my time this semester. I keep getting the English professors that are intent on making me actually learn stuff about critical thinking and literary choices. That wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't picking up Japanese as well. New alphabets are hard. Trigonometry and Ethics are cake though. Humbly I say: Maths is my bitch.

Yes, that's correct. I think.

So, chapter releases. Those are helpful to keep readers happy and draw in new ones, yes?

A favor from readers / News · 7:00am Jul 7th, 2012

A Favor

First, to anybody that happens upon my stories: If you don't like it, by all means feel free to tap the "thumbs down" button. I'm a big boy, I can handle it. I would, however, request that you leave a comment and tell me what you didn't like. I'm here to learn and practice, but I can't do that without feedback.

Self Serving · 11:40am Jul 1st, 2012

Is it wrong to "thumbs up" my own story? Is it like voting for yourself in an election, or is it patting yourself on the back for a job well done? Voting for yourself makes some sense since numbers count, but I'd hate to be the one to toot my horn first, as it were. I'll let it go for a while, I think.

Anyway, my first story is pending moderation. Folks, enjoy the one shot, "Twilight's Wall." Here's to hoping it's palatable! /cheers

Breakfast time. I feel like I kinda earned it this time.

ADHD - The D's both stand for "Diablo" · 5:40pm Jun 2nd, 2012

Which would be much funnier if there were 3 of them instead of just two. Blizzard foils my humor yet again.
