Counting Down to Ponies

Finally! An episode after two weeks of no ponies! I'm so excited because this one has Discord in it!

But yet, that's why I'm also so concerned. I mean, it's Discord, one of the most awesome MLP villains on the show since it first premiere. But, this decision to put him in a regular episode is, to me, kind of a risky decision. And also the decision to put Fluttershy to be the one to confront him is an odd choice. Idealy, it should be Twilight to be the one who should confront Discord; he's the one who gets into her head and screws around with her.

Anyway, I'm just worried that this awesome character will be brought down to a forgotten icon.

I'll leave you back to your pony-less lives.

P.S. The reason I'haven't been writing on CVON lately is because I'm addicted to Figment. Come and see what I have and you'll see why I haven't been blogging for a while now.

Oh Technology, How I Love Thee (not!)

Don't you love it when your laptop suddenly starts to spaz out, or when your iPhone is frozen, or your Kindle Fire doesn't respond to your touch?

Yeah, me too. Not.

The reason I'm talking about this is what occurs about 40% of the time I spend on my computer and/or laptop:
  1. It either freezes an important program I'm using, so I have to shut it down and restart said program
  2. It either freezes two programs at once, making it very difficult to go get Windows Task Manager to help clean some of this crap up
  3. It freezes not only the Internet, but also your desktop and the Taskbar (and, if you're like me, all the cool gadgets on the Sidebar). I love it to death whenever it does this
  4. It randomly shuts down a program when I didn't even hit the "Close" button (rarely happens but annoys the crap out of me)
  5. When I'm trying to shut down an Internet window and the song/video keeps playing in the background. It's like it just knows that I'm wanting to shut it down and keeps torturing me to wait another five hours for the program to "fix itself" while listening to the hopefulness of the 10 hour Rainbow Bunchie loop
  6. When there's an external problem with the website I'm using when I really, really need to
  7. The mousepad (for my laptop) doesn't respond and the mouse jumps to the "Close" button, hoping that I'll bust another capillary (jk, I'm healthy) when I discover that the mouse works again and that I've just shut down an entire project without saving the last half an hour

Anyway, if you share these loving sentiments about technology, have fun blowing some more blood vessels because I think technology like this is here to stay. 0_0

I DID IT! :D

Yes, folks, I did it! I submitted something to a short story contest and I feel totally proud of myself! It's on Figment right now for the "Deadly Little Lessons" short-story contest and I feel highly confident. I'm not going to set myself up so I'll be like "OMG I'm totally going to win this thing I'm the best writer of them all!" and not get chosen, but I feel highly confident. Here's
my Figment profile with the short-story "Inner Strength". Please, please, PLEASE look at it and tell me if it's any good or not. I NEED TO KNOW THIS SO I FEEL BETTER AS A HUMAN BEING!!!!

Anyway, I DID IT, EVERYPONY! :D

Conflict of Interests

Interest vs. Need
Right vs. Wrong
Which one will I choose?
What changes the course of the future?

Impulse vs. Force
Desire vs. Reality
Which one is right?
Which one will I choose to take?

Yearning vs. Revulsion
Creative vs. Destructive
What will happen once I choose?
Will my future depend on this one decision?

Love vs. Hate
Soaring vs. Grounded
Why is it so hard to make up my mind?
Am I afraid on what might happen?

Happiness vs. Depression
Light vs. Dark
Have I made the right decision?
I can only find out

An Epiphany

So I was just derping along, coming home from meeting friends, when my mom told me about her visit with one of my friend's mom. Her son (my friend's younger brother) did an assignment in writing a play for this big contest thing, and actually was picked out of about 400 students to have his play be performed by the local theatre along with 8 other students. I mean, don't get me wrong, I congratulate him for winning the honor and whatnot, but something about that set me off. I started thinking to myself "Great. Just perfect. That little rat has gotten everything he's ever needed at the snap of a finger. He gets everything he asks for with seemingly no effort while I have to work my ass off to get nothing in return. He's started his extra-curricular stuff for his college portfolio while I have practically nothing. Good God, I hate myself because of this kid" (not anymore, but you get the idea).

And as soon as I finished mentally grilling the kid into a burnt Human McNugget, I had an epiphany. If I wanted to get into the colleges I wanted based on what I want to major in (English and/or Creative Writing), I needed to win some writing contests. So I've now logged on Figment, which is a writing website for writing-enthusiasts, if anyone with a Figment account wants to follow me. I'm going to try and work my butt off to try and make it to win a couple of these contests to not only feel good about myself and my writings, but to also get something for my college resumé other than how many community service hours I currently have.

I hope to create greatness and to share some of my crap-writings with you guys really soon. Until then, READ A GOOD BOOK!

Friends (and Mustaches) are Awesome


Having a BFF is amazing. I love being comfortable in spending time with my friends. I love having sleepover/movie dates with friends, I like spending time in the local Starbucks cafe with my friends, I just love collaborating things with friends and creating good memories together. It's a shame that I'm such a Boo Radley (mostly because all my friends are busy when I am not), because I would spend half of my waking time spending more time with my friends. They are just that awesome to be around.

While we're on the topic of awesome, MUSTACHES.Think about it: it makes things more awesome. I am completely head-over-heels obsessed with the mustache paraphernalia. I was actually so in love with mustaches once that for one Halloween, I was a ghost with a neon-blue mustache. I am not joking you: a ghost with a freaking neon-blue mustache!
It was the best, most creative costume I ever wore. But the ghost-sheet kept making me trip in the wet, soggy streets whilst trick-or-treating. Oh well...

Anyway, I'm working on something but in the meantime, I'll pester you with short, meaningless, annoying rants like this until I'm finished so I can show you wonderful fans. Until then, keep your friends close, hug them tight, and give them these awesome mustache BFF necklaces from Claire's.
Hmm, that's not such a bad idea. Now I need to pick my victim (I mean, friend)...

I wish you lots of hugs and chocolate, mes amis!

Oscars 2013

Okay, I'll make this quick...
Now that the nominees for the Oscars (aka the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), I'm getting ramped up for the premiere. Hopefully, you will be too (for my American fans, sorry my other worldly fans). Anyway, here's the countdown for the Pacific Coast premiere. I hope the 85th Academy Awards will be good. I mean, how can't it? It's got Seth McFarlane and Emma Stone, for Pete's sake!

Anyway, apprécier les films, mes amis!

And Now For Something Completely Abstract...

UNINSPIRING POEM
I can't do it
My creativity feels forced
All will, all enthusiasm is gone,
Leaving me with horrid emptiness
I feel nothing within my soul
I've been wrung dry
Why does this happen to me?
Why do I continue to let this happen to me?
Why do I let myself to be forced from my norm?
People pushing me around, telling me what to think and to feel
I feel empty because I have no soul
Or do I?
I don't know anymore
Why am I forced to feel uninspired?
Well, "forced" is the wrong word
Maybe there should be no word
No word, no world,
It's all just depressing
These thoughts make no sense,
But yet they make perfect sense,
In the grand scheme of things
Everything is so confusing
Why bother to make sense of it all
Harmony in discord?
It doesn't work
It feels forced, like everything else I try to do
Because everything is uninspiring and gray

EFFING PONIES!!!

That's it! I need to come out and tell people about my problem. I've gone to the point of where I want to do nothing but sleep in and watch ponies all day. I can't stop watching videos of MLP in my spare time, I can't stop thinking about them whenever I'm awake, I can't stop fantasizing about being a pony in Ponyville, AND I CAN'T STOP HUMMING/WHISTLING THOSE GOSH DARN SONGS EVERYWHERE I GO!!!!!!!!!!!! I do anything about it, it just comes to me out of the blue. Deep down underneath the friendship, magic, and fantasies of being a unicorn pony, I'm kind of worried. I don't want to turn into those over-obsessed bronies who, at the very beginning of the fandom, quit their jobs so they could sit at home discussing ponies in online chat rooms all day. I want to cure myself of this temporary illness!

And yet, I don't really want to. I want to share a common likeness to an awesome with some of the other bronies I know in my life. I want to share the excitement, the tears, the cheers, and the love and magic each epic-sode brings. I WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE TO BE WITH DURING THE EPISODE PREMIERES!!!!!!!!!! :(

Sorry...

Anyway, I'm sure it's just a phase, but I wanted to share something with you guys since a. I can't tell anyone else b/c I'm a shut-in brony/my friends don't really take any notice of my obsessions and b. I haven't posted to you guys in FOREVER! (by the way, SORRY!)

Go back to your lives, my fellow fans, and, for the love of Celestia, TRY MY LITTLE PONY FOR ONCE!!! I NEED FELLOW BRONIES TO SHARE A COMMON INTEREST/DISCUSS THINGS WITH!!!!!!
I'm so terribly lonely.... :'(

<3, RS

P.S. I heard DHX (MLP HQ) are getting together a fourth season!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /)^3^(\

So sorry. Go back to your lives, plz. I swear I'm sane.
