Kinda wanted to get that old blog off the page, because I’m in a little better place now.

For example, I have gotten a new job. I’m now a pharmacy technician (trainee). Not too bad so far. Lots of standing. Bit of a paycut. Working less, driving more. A lot more moving in general. But it is semi-related to the medical field, which does interest me, and I think I’m picking things up fairly quickly.

I think the mark of a good piece of media is one that hits differently depending on when you consume it. Like how when you watch A Goofy Movie and as a kid you sympathize with Max and then when you watch it older you see more of Goofy's perspective. Or like how when you watch Shrek 2 as an adult it's still funny, but different parts are funny for different reasons (the union part, for example).

I’ve often thought, ‘you know, I wish more people would talk about mental health stuff’.

Then I remembered: I’m people.

So I’ve been on sertraline for a while. It was working, maybe? Like at first it was helping, but then it kinda tapered off, like I kept getting a higher dose, but even so, after a while, I kept falling back into the ‘i really like this bed’, ‘i’m just not feeling it today’, multiple-energy-drinks-a-day kind of thing.

Got another story done, EQG this time, squeaking in just before the contest deadline, again. Could probably use another pass or two, which is less than ideal, but it’s finished, so that’s still a win!

I found it hard to choose a favorite pony in G4. They were all so great! Rarity was least-favorite for a little bit, but she quickly grew on me.

Jinglemas is a secret-santa style fic exchange. I’ve seen this event pass by a couple times, but never wanted to join. I always figured, “why would I ask for a story? if I wanted a specific story, I could just write it myself”. And then there was that underlying fear of failure, being asked to write a story that I might not want to / might not be able to finish in time.

“Why’s it all pumpkin-y in here?”

“It’s thick crust!”

“Don’t eat me!”

Pipp, you are a treasure.

also they knew exactly what they were doing with that title they knew they knew they knew

A couple of my favorite screenshots (below the break, so no spoilers). I guess it’s official. TYT finally won me over.

Also I spilled soda on my laptop keyboard so now a few keys sticks occasionally which is incredibly annoying because among them are the backspace and arrow keys and I didn’t realize before how many words I write and then decide to erase

I don’t know. I’ve been keeping up with these, but most of them are just ‘yeah, that was a thing’, fluffy, nothing earth-shattering, which I think is the point of this series. Part of me is still not over the art style, though

But (One Trick Pony) had a song that sounded like the Final Countdown, a pony lifting a house, and also these two back again!:

Finally got around to watching these shorts last night, and I have to say, I enjoyed them. Still not completely sold on the animation style, but I thought they were pretty fun. Zipp is definitely my favorite G5 pony, if she wasn’t already before. She had so many
