On my phone, I have a picture two weeks old of a stack of books. I took it planning to share it online, but I'm beginning to think that's not going to end up happening. I had a reason to share besides showing off my finds[1]: I realized that evening that I don't 'self-medicate' with brain-state-altering chemicals. I use fiction instead. [3]

How do you explain bronies to someone who knows nothing about My Little Pony? Not someone who doesn't know about the current generation, I can cope with that. I mean as in, had never even heard of the eighties version. Nothing.

Well. That does it. No putting it off any longer. I'm PUSHIN DA BUTTON.

Probably my favorite thing in the world is that little 'lightbulb' that goes on when you finally 'get' something. Mobius strips finally make sense, or you suddenly see that one pun and for some reason it's funnier than the entire rest of the fic.

Myself, I just had one about procrastination.

I've discovered I apparently have a thing for really long stories.

See, I was going through my "Read Later" list, kicking items. (It's down to 1314 at this writing, that's down by over a hundred from when I started.) I've been dividing it into rough word-length categories: under-2000, two-to-ten-thousand, ten-to-fifty-thousand... --Well. Before I did ten-to-fifty-thousand, I tried ten-thousand-and-up. And I came up with eighty-eight pages. That's a big number.

GUYS! I just saw Frozen and AAHHHH! That's not at all fim-related.

I'm gonna write a blogpost reviewthing about it, and push that and maybe some other stuff to my blog before midnight Saturday, my time. (I should put that back on my userpage, shouldn't I? I'll do that tomorrow, too.) That's not fim-related either.

What is fim-related is that now I have permission from myself to watch things like this:

There's this idea I've got that would be coming up due in a couple of weeks, and I want to discuss it. But I seem to have missed my optimal window. And so I'm wishing I felt I knew some of you well enough to contact and ask about it directly.

I mean, I guess I apparently know Ghost that well [1]. But the very nature of the idea means I can't ask Ghost about it [2]. This means I can't exactly talk about it on my blog, either [3][4]. But I do really wanna talk about it.

[Adventure -ish] [Humorous Reference] [Alternate Universe] [S1-S2 strict compatible] [combat]

You wouldn't know it was still nighttime from Canterlot. Oh, the stars were still out, as was the moon, anypony could see that. It's just that the sky was filled with the thunderous glow of the two armored figures locked in combat within Canterlot airspace.

No, I don't actually expect you to care. It's just a nice round number. I like that. (The "important" number isn't for another month or so.)

According to knighty's little flyout boxes, I signed up around midnight. That's an absurd number alone, but it's not out of character for me.

I have nothing but brothers. Several of them.

And here I am writing a fanfic that features exclusivly the royal pony sisters.
