Now now, you’re trying to take advantage of little ol’ me. Naughty naughty.

I’m a little more careful than that. I wish I could focus more on writing, though. My mind keep wondering and winding.

…

Why do wind and wind spell the same?

1) You are sooo good at rhyming. Like a poet. Are you a poet?

Not that I’m attracted to that. That’d be shallow. Besides, I have my fuzzy wuzzy was-a-bear and his sexy fur. He is so fine. I want to boop him on the nose.

Is that a word?

2) It’s a type of argument. It has something to do with-… No… No that’s a slippery slope. I mean, that’s not a slippery slope, it’s…

Uh…

Spoonman is a song.

Me too, Strawman.

Oh my Cels! Have you ever heard Spoonman?! It’s almost like your name!

1) [Giggle] But wouldn’t it be easier if it was?

2)

3) Memories. Horrible, vivid, loud memories.

And that means it’s time for Lyra to drink like a fish until she can go to sleep.

And since she has to write today, because she’s behind her schedule, it also means she can’t deal with a hangover today. So she’s drunk right now.

Lyra, I mean.

4) It’s not the same. You got a family, and then you got a family. The family isn’t the same as the family, even if it serves the same function as the family.

I know I have a family, but it’s not a family.

I just never thought about it before, I guess. That probably makes me a complete idiot.

I was just… so looking forward to it. Meeting a family that doesn’t hate me, or judge me. That I wouldn’t have to try and impress. People that were interested in me and I was interested in them and I could just be myself and not have to think about-…

…

Think about anything bad…

But whenever it happens, it’ll just be another-…

…

[Sniff] And I guess it’ll be my fault. My fault for feeling so strongly about it. For having-

…

…

Oh Celestia it’s coming back again…

Excuse me…

1) Humans are weird.

2) No one. The concept of worth is meaningless. All we ever do is take what we can’t give back.

3) Do I even have a future?

I don’t care about the game… Patriots I guess.

4) It’s in my request folder. I don’t know when I’ll get to it.

…

I…

…

I’ve been over this. He doesn’t.

I wouldn’t have ever tried dating him if he did.

That’s okay. I would prefer JC Denton’s coat. Adam’s collar is too high and the shoulder’s fit too formally. Plus, cliche as it may be, I just prefer JC and Paul as characters.

Adam has a more believable motivation for the everymare to be sure. But JC and Paul’s storyline hinges more on the notion that they’re just good ponies by nature trying to do the right thing.

That’s pretty radical though. If you can, I’d love to see a picture of it!

1) No thank you.

2) I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve only recently received one other message with return lines so I assume it has something to do with this.

3) Would you believe I’ve been asked before? No, I like these colors.

4) Going a little lowbrow, huh? Not sure I’d be down with fart jokes and laugh tracks.

1)

2) Been there, saw the comic.

ethepony:

Hoppip asked me to make and embroider Lyra’s eyes and cutie mark for a plushie.  How could I say no to anything concerning Best Pony Lyra?

(( Hoppip went to the ends of the earth to get color matching fleece.  He mailed it to me in the US from the UK, and I mailed it back.  There was exactly zero margin for me screwing up because he had no extra.  This was BY FAR the hardest thing I have ever embroidered because I needed to be exact in so many directions or Lyra would come out looking Derp with eyes going in different directions. If I remember correctly, it took me a little over a month, working every day for a few hours to do them all. ))

Luna above…

I remember you talking about it, but…

1) I’ve heard about Super Robot Wars a number of times. One of these days I should look into it.

2) Why does everypony keep asking me things like this?

Yes!

To be honest, when playing the first two Deus Ex games, I was all about nano-augmentation and got everything I could. But when I was playing Deus Ex 3, I was disappointed to find out that not turning on your augmentations had no bearing on the story (obviously there wouldn’t be any physical changes, but I would have expected a psychological aspect of refusing to use them).

I guess at the nano-technical level, it’s invisible so you don’t think about it. And I understand if it’s a replacement for an injury. But the idea of purposely removing a body part to replace it with an enhanced one? It just seems… unnatural to me.

Now, I would never choose death over it, or even to live handicapped if there’s an option. And when you throw in neurological augmentations to improve higher brain functionality? Things get really shaky. But I would like to think I would accept only what was necessary to retain what would have been lost.

Cliche, maybe, but…

1) I’m thinking, but I don’t think so.

I don’t really like the notion of belonging to somepony. Which I guess is hypocritical since I’ve called him ‘My Boscov.’

Oops.

2) Maybe for a day, but probably not forever.

Actually, if I had to choose to be something other than a unicorn, I’d pick earth pony. Their natural strength and endurance is pretty much what I do with my magic, but can’t maintain.

I can exceed what an earth pony is capable of several times over, but for incredibly brief periods of time. No real application outside of self-defense. Can’t get a job they’d be able to do.
