Ask Lyra

Sep 05

everpresentshades-blog asked: Song owned. Okay this has bugged me for a while: Why on earth do so many people hate Typewrter? You hate him, Gilda freaked on him, it's like...what the hell happened?

This is the best answer I can give.

theblackstrawberry asked: That song was beautiful. I love the inclusion of all the other instruments, you guys play well together.

Thank you! Sweetie’s the real star in this one, but Boscov is definitely an unsung hero.

Did you know he played bass underscore for roughly ninty-eight percent of the entire piece? Where as everypony else started late, or would drop in and out, he basically played the whole thing!

ethepony asked: I love your music Lyra. I was hoping you would have some time sometime to do a quick pose so I could immortalize you in thread. Any chance of that happening?

How flattering!

Um… What kind of pose? What did you have in mind?

everpresentshades-blog asked: So what exactly are your duties as a TA? Do you sit in the classroom helping the teach? Are you like a backup teacher in case they get sick?

I’m not one hundred percent. I’ve never done it before.

As I understand it, I’ll be sort of a one-on-one teacher for students that need extra help. Where as the regular teacher will teach the class as a whole.

askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: When's Bon-Bon gonna be back? I've been missing her for weeks now...

From her last update, at least a week. Possibly more.

colorsymphony-deactivated201202 asked: Education. I know it's not as significant but.. it's still a noble profession.

Education is the most important profession there is. If there where no organized education facilities, only the most privileged would ever learn. Even then, only things notable to the field they’ve been shackled to.

Educators should be valued far more in the industry than they are.

colorsymphony-deactivated201202 asked: MISSED YOU TOO-! And I was not referring to Pizza Day in any way... aha

From your sidebar, it sounds like you went ahead and switched majors. To teaching, right, or did you decide on something else?

theblackstrawberry asked: :) good luck on your job tomorrow! Can't wait to hear about your first day!

That’s if I can get work on the first day.

I’ve still yet to see a single listing.

theblackstrawberry asked: Hey Lyra, what are you up to today? I'm pretty much just walking around Ponyville trying to entertain myself.

Getting some last minute things done to be ready for tomorrow.

Anonymous asked: Hey! :)

Salut!

soundoflonesomeness asked: How did your late night walk with Sweetie Belle go?

Quietly.

We stopped a few times to rest. One of those times she fell asleep, so I carried her on my back home.

In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have brought her along… I probably looked too angry and intimidating to talk to… I feel bad about that…

colorsymphony-deactivated201202 asked: Good luck at work tomorrow.. was it tomorrow?

Tomorrow is when I may potentially start. But it’s a little more complicated.

I have to go online and sign up for a position as a substitute, and I can only do that if somepony else calls in saying they won’t be working that day.

Within that, I can only sign up for an aid position, not an actual teaching position. That narrows things down considerably.

An aid usually helps in various classrooms throughout the day. Sometimes that’s just a little help with a larger classroom of younger children, sometimes the position will involve helping a single student, or even a small classroom of students that have special needs.

Unless you were referring to my never remembering which day pizza day was.

I missed you. You put a smile on my face.

krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: I’m sorry yesterday wasn’t exactly a grand day for you…
Oh… Maybe this weekend?

Sure.

I mean, maybe. I can’t remember right now if I have other plans.

I’ll try and get back to you on that.

Pretty Please? :3

Try this.

Skip to around the middle. I may readdress the piece later down the road with more musical assistance, but that will require starting over again from scratch.
