Umm, I'll be there. That's all.
(I'm actually super excited to see some people that I haven't seen since I was there a couple years ago! )
2% of FimFiction read, only 98% to go! I've been gone for a long time, but still show up every now and then.

I was pretty dang proud of my Tempest Shadow pumpkin this year. The trick-or-treaters loved it.
When I came home from school I found it smashed. I suspected the idiot kid from downstairs (we rent out our basement), and footprint analysis confirmed my suspicions. (We had our first snowfall yesterday.)
So, I put the broken pieces on the back porch. "I know you did it."
Open up your eyes!
See the world, from where I yam!
When I saw the bin of purple yams at the grocery store, I knew what I had to do.
BronyCon was amazing. Simple.
I've wanted to go for some time, but never before has it been possible. The fact that my (ongoing) road trip put me in the right part of the country at the right time is one of the best things to happen on this trip so far.
So I just realized that BronyCon is next weekend. Normally I don't take much notice, because I don't live anywhere close to nearby. However, my ongoing road trip puts me in Rhode Island this week, much closer than my usual 2000 km away.
After spending the last five weeks in St. Louis with my mom, it's time to head out again. I have three weeks to drive around, south, east, north, west, south, north... It's going to be an interesting ride. There are people to meet, and little in the way of plans between.
Oh, and I need to edit a bunch of fanfics while I'm on the road, since I'm doing a bad fanfic panel at BronyCan within less than a week of returning home.
There's a good chance that I'm not going to be on the site much for awhile. Why? Road trip! Tomorrow morning I'm leaving on what should be a two-month, 15,000 km road trip across the US and Canada. The main purpose of the trip is to visit family in St. Louis, but there's nothing saying I can't drive so much more. I'm hoping to do a loop through the southeast to visit the few States that I'm missing in that area: South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Then on the return,
I used to feel more in touch with the other members of this site, like a part of the community. I'm no author, so I'll never truly be part of that most central group, but I used to edit, and comment, and otherwise interact with other people. I miss that.
Well, it's been another nine months or so since I made my last shipping chart, so the time is ripe for a new chart. In the meantime, I've maintained a readership of just-under 20k words per day, bringing me to just above 19 million words of pony fics read. (Yes, I do read things other than pony fics; I'm currently reading Don Quixote.)
But let's review. First, maybe a year and a half ago, maybe longer (I don't remember exactly when I made it), there was the original chart:
You know what's cruel? Selling tickets for your convention more than seven months before the convention. How's a pegasister to deal with all hype, knowing that relief is more than half a year away? I'll be lucky if my sanity holds out that long... (Too late.)
