Trust me, you're not that type of friend.

Sadly yeah, I know a guy like that. Ever since his bout of depression he just comes across as really self important and kinda mean at times.

Thanks, that means a lot.

Ah, that's a shame. It's unfortunate that depression can do that to people.

Anybody ever had that one friend who suddenly becomes a pretentious asshole?

Sometimes I think that friend is me.

Trust me, it's not you. Though I think you know that, but I feel the need to say it. You're one of the most genuine people I've met online.

I had a friend back in high school that always kind of was a pretentious asshole; no transformation required.

sometimes maybe folks get stressed. ask sweets sometime.. i can be an ass at times... actually.... you know what... as the adopted son of equestria... im allowed to say, that i can be a royal horse's ass.

truth be told, i have dealt with lots of negativity before, that left me with anger issues, and i tend to be clingy at times too. i guess what im saying is call me on it if im a jerk. when i calm down i will see your right alot of times

My stomach hates me today. I have suspects - but nothing conclusive. Could've been the bacon pizza. Possibly the homemade cracker candy. Couldn't have been the cider; don't think I even had any yesterday. Peanut butter and jelly on sour dough bread? Naw, couldn't be...

Or could it? Peanut butter and jelly generally behave as though they're harmless; though perhaps this is a long-practiced ruse. And - wouldn't you know it - I'm the patsy.

Peanut butter and jelly, you crafty son of a bitch.

In a week or so it'll mark the one year anniversary since I started my job. I have mixed feelings on that.

I don't know about you, but every one of those things would make me feel sick, with the exception of the cider. That might be a bit biased of me to say though, since I never eat those things.

Also, you make your own candy? That's actually pretty cool.

That Twist emote is awesome, by the way. It rivals this one:

Either way, it's been quite a journey. Congrats on making it this far!

I love my iron stomache

[Fiction]

The unnecessary censorship version of (supposedly) Thomas Jefferson's quote, "When the government fucks the people, it's liberty. When the people fuck the government, it's tyranny" could not be any more true from the government's viewpoint.

And my list of reasons for hating this country forever grows

I've never said it out loud (or rather in word) but I've put a lot of personal subtext in [i]Heart of a Nightmare./i] Some of it, I realized, was/is entirely unintentional.

I feel like my development in the story reflects mine in actual life. In the beginning of the story, Michael/myself was a much more timid person, not cowardly, but definitely prone to anxiety and insecurity. As the story has progressed along with his/(I) relationship with Nightmare Rarity he subtly but upon examination clearly has become a much stronger person. Less anxious, more determined, and sure of himself even if the odds are against him.

This is not unlike my transformation and becoming who I am now.

This level of personal subtext and reflectiveness seems unconscious on my part. But I'm glad it's there, it adds depth to the story and makes it even more special to me.


(I realize most probably don't know what I'm talking about because few read what I write, but I figured I'd share this observation)
