if you want to meet me at brony con.....

So 5 days until the event we have all been waiting for is upon us. Luckily it is a short work week for me. Not only do I have the 4th off... I only have to work tuesday and wednesday and I am using paid time off thursday, friday and monday. I earned this mental break, my job has been hell and school is halfway done.   If you people want to meet and possibly attend events together, my number is 978 382 5870. I am driving from NH, so I am aiming to be in Baltimore by at least 2pm the latest(whe

Prepping for Brony Con drive.

2 weeks until Brony Con and I literally cannot wait for it to start. Hotel is all situated and passes are here, I did need to replace things in my car.. Brand new overpriced battery, air filter and oil is still good. I might need a transmission flush, but other than that, it is a 420 mile drive to Baltimore and a 420 mile drive back to New Hampshire. I was going to fly down, but I drove down in Baltimore back in 2014 and was fine.   I really loathed driving in New York and Jersey, by far the

Creating an unlikeable protagonist. How am I doing so far?

No story details, just traits I have in mind for a story I might write in the future.   Male young adult aged 20-23   Characteristics:   anti-social not that talkative good natured, helps others, has a sense of heroism Questions to the point of annoying people illusive motives No practical talent Lone wolf/isolationist   How am I doing with the traits?

Crushes on dead people. Anyone have at least one?

Wanted to put this into a blog instead of a comment thread. This isn't mean to be disrespectful to any deceased people. I just view it as they were once people and if they were around today, I would attempt some relationship with them anyway.   First crush of mine, is Emma Borden. Lizzie Borden's older sister. Lizzie and Andrew Borden always scared me as a kid and still do, with their soulless and deadpan faces. Emma strikes me as peaceful and was burdened to essentially mother her younger si

Coming to terms with being the irrelevant anomaly that I always was.

Had some time to have introspect about my life in the past several weeks. One thing people have always told me over and over again, is that I am too serious. They are actually right. I don't laugh in social circles, I laugh alone and it's usually things people don't find funny. I always walked through life isolated ans asked questions, questions and more questions. I am naturally a curious person and the way I talk to people is like I am studying them, if that makes any sense to you.   Here I

Leaving PC gaming for now. Sold my rig.

I am back to cheap laptop games and console gaming, sold my PC and 3d monitor for a decent return, since electronics don't retain value. With Pascal and Polaris 10/11 on the rise, my GTX 970 was not even a good GPU even when it came out. I wanted to sell my other 5 year old hardware before it depreciated even more. I also was able to put more toward my car loan because of that.

I'm going to Brony Con 2016! Can't wait.

After waiting and skipping out on last year's con, I am officially going this july. If anyone is seeking a room mate, please let me know. I have a one king size bed at the Hilton, although we can work that out some how, since that room was a last minute grab. I am pumped to go! I met some people from this forum when I went in 2014, I hope to either meet you again, or meet new people.

My chances of going to brony con 2016 are looking pretty good.

So we're already in april and the convention starts in early july. I already have the pre requisites in motion.   -I have my room booked at the Hilton -I have money to go -Waiting to buy my ticket -My GPA at school is a 3.7 so far -My attendance instructor told me taking 2 absences to go to the convention is fine. He told me the teachers know I do my work and when I go to employment fairs, 3 absences in a whole year is easily overlooked and no hassle.   The main issue is my parents. I know

People are so shallow and conditional.. Also, my birthday today.

Today I have turned 23, feel like the years are just stacking faster and faster. Not much has changed in terms of my life status. Still in school, I have a dead end job, I rarely see my friends(the handful I have) and my family is in constant drama I can't avoid.   I am not depressed today, just really tired. My classes are becoming an annoyance, not that anything is difficult, I just don't have high motivation at this juncture. My first semester ends april 8th... It is divided into two module

First month of school cleared

I am halfway through my first semester, things flew by quick already. I am sick right now, we recently had an arctic blast and it was -11 in New Hampshire last weekend. I got a cold and even my family and friends do. My grade average is at a 95 so I made a great start. It's an accelerated course, so even though I am still on Network+, I have acquired more useful knowledge from this school, than those SCAMiversities that make you sit and blow your money for a whole year.   Still play games and

Expect to see less of me.. Will come back when I'm done.

I know I am not the most liked person on the forums. But for those I talk to on a normal basis, thanks for being there. I am currently taking an accelerated IT program for a year. I am actually shocked how much I got done in three days. The objective of the course is to get my Comptia A+, Network and Security certifications so I can leave my job which I despise at the moment. I have class from 7:30am to 1pm 5 days a week.. I work 2 to 7 5 days a week. So as you can see, it;s not games here, they

Not convinced on Force Awakens reviews.

I haven't seen it yet, but I find the reviews of high praise suspicious. There's no way Disney would allow a $4 billion investment to fail. Prior to reviews coming out, I was already filled with skepticism. It seems from the summary, looks like a carbon copy of the original 1977 movie.   You cannot capture the magic and awe of the original trilogy. I simply want something new while upholding the tradition and continuity of the original three movies, I don't want a rehash! Regardless, I will se

Who wants a hotel room for bronycon 2016?

I booked a room two months ago at the Hilton connected to the convention center. I can take up to 5 people since it's two queen beds. Will update as frequently as possible, since its going to be in july and I have ample time to get things situated.

Want to do my first fan fiction, anxious if people think it's bad.

I have never been a great illustrator. I have always considered if writing was a skill I can utilize. I have been told by artists I have really imaginative ideas and can do good. I know that my grammar is not perfect, I would describe my mental process as a narrative imagination. I am always plotting out the beginning,middle and climax, then I decide how a character gets developed.   I don't want to rush a fim fiction. I see them go up after a new episode finished airing. I admire the creativ

Season 5 finale review.

So I wanted to express my feelings on the season 5 finale. I have nothing to do at the moment, I don't even review episodes, but for this one instance, I need to. Did I enjoy the season finale? Overall, in some ways yes, but there's so much problems that it pales in comparison to all the other season finales. Let me explain, that I can tell genuine effort was put into this episode, it screams "DHX made it and Hasbro wasn't sticking their noses in the creative department."( That's a relief)

Season 5's finale left a bad taste in my mouth.

As someone involved in the brony fandom, I'm not looking forward to season 6's premise based on how the ending for S5E26 went. There were so many problems with this episode. Even before I seen it, the trailer gave me bad vibes. Time travel episodes are really hard to do, especially in two episodes. I was thinking about shows like Xaiolin Showdown, where I think it was a 4 part finale that had great pacing.   This episode felt like more fanservice than Slice of Life. Slice of Life was meant to

I can't believe people at all anymore.

Today at work was just disgusting. So Columbus day coming soon, I have that day off. I made a comment.   " Oh we name a holiday after a psychopath who helped waged genocide on the Native American people and we all get a day off from it."   Co worker: " Oh hey I at least get the free day off."   This is the type of nonsense and downright immoral attitude I deal with at work. And I know it's like this for other people too.

I have been thinking about going back to art again.

I was described as a great artist in the past. However, I used to beat myself up all the time over never being amazing or special at the craft. I lacked technical skills when it came to art. Now, sometimes if I were to do observational art work, could create highly detailed works in time.   I spent a year in art college and everything felt like a chore. I understand you go there to learn the objective art skills to get better, I understand that. But during 2011-2012, I was spiraling into a de

So someone asked me out pretty early :0

I have awful luck with women. We are both 22 and I met her going to a lake trip 2 weeks ago. I have her contact info and she wants to spend time together tomorrow. I am excited, but I never have this happen to me, and genuine relationships take time. When I met her at the arcade she was trying to keep her friends from scarring me away. So we are meeting at around noon tomorrow. Is it possible I might have something here? I haven't dated since 10th grade.

My stances on homosexuality have changed. There are some cons though.

I have been viewed as a bigot on this site. Now I want to settle some disclaimers before diving into the topic and will kick start a discussion to avoid TLDR excuse.   -I am against gay marriage for the secular reason that in nature, you have a mother and father. Boom that's it. No gay parents exist because they can't procreate and raise children.   - I think homosexuality should be legal. But children should not be taught sex ed. Many gays in the LGBT are teaching sex ed as early as Kinder

Losing job soon, might be homeless in several months.

I recently argued with my dad this morning. I'm summing up this entire situation to save you all time. My parents own a "home health" agency. I DESSSSSSSPISE it! I always loathed going there every day. I make $13.50/hr and am currently having some money issues. During depression or not feeling of any worth, I bought some items to make myself feel better. I still have enough to pay my bills though and am in no trouble yet. My biggest let down was $1128 for a simple car insurance down payment scam

An apology to this forum. People I've offended.

I have been banned some weeks back from using general discussion. I haven't been on in quite a bit. I had time to think about getting banned. I understand that my actions were not debate appropriate. However I was angry because I thought people were looking down upon my views, or how I went about displaying information.   My information comes across as conspiratorial, a word I really think is shallow. But nontheless I am myself and I know what I am talking about is true. Then again, I'm on a M

Negima Fan Dub Help( VOICE ACTRESSES)

I am doing a dubbing project and would appreciate some help. Negima is my favorite anime series and it's a shame it never got proper english dubbing or proper licensing. This is for fun, I'm not monetizing anything. Just want to have fun and have some producing and editing skills expanded. I need. Voice actresses( primarily female characters.... Men are welcome to ask me for male leads) Audio FX specialists( need to mute region 2 disc audio and create another FX track. Someone who's good in th
