... for I have not forgotten thee.

Those of you who have been reading my story Pony Rock Opera (all one chapter of it, so far... more are coming, I promise) could probably guess that the legendary metal band Iron Maiden are kind of a big deal for me, personally. Such is why I was very saddened to read the news that former Maiden drummer Clive Burr passed away after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis, at the age of 56. Although Burr was only behind the kit for a few early records, one of those records (The Number

...and doesn't ask me later, I'm ignoring Alicorn Twilight, or Princess Sparkle, or whatev you'd like to call her as far as A Canterlot Courtship goes. Mind you I'm not all butthurt about the idea or anything (even though it's not a plot development I would write myself. But then, I'm a lowly fanfic nerd, and they all get paid by a massive evil toy empire to write.) But I'm reserving judgment until I see how the show plays it.

She is a big part in all the things I write.

...Because I'm awesome and you totally care what I think, right?

2012 was a good year for music, though, especially Metal, for some reason. I do enjoy all sorts of music, but Metal seemed to be at the forefront this year for me, moreso than in the last few years. Though my favorite album of the year is a distinct change of pace.

Why in the hell am I sitting here watching Amish Mafia? Seriously, I have hundreds of TV channels, and this show is awful.

And I haven't even been drinking or anything. Someone help me, this is what pony hiatus and Hasbro takedowns has done to me ALREADY. Because this is Hasbro's fault, somehow, I swear it.

Chapter 5 of "A Canterlot Courtship" is officially underway. Looks like four scenes at this point. Still shooting for my typical chapter size of 7 to 8k words. It slows my posting down, but I think it makes the chapters flow better, particularly in a story like this with little 'action.'

One of my pre-readers and I were talking about this the other day, and the subject of the proper music for the TwiMac pairing came up. Her suggestion-
