Quitting my crappy dead-end job

I love all the ponies on this show. I admire Rainbow Dash's bravery and confidence, Rarity's enterprise and generosity, Pinkie Pie's love of life, Twilight Sparkle's intelligence, and Fluttershy's deep understanding of the world around her. But the one I admire most of all, the one I could count on most of all if she were real, the one I think of in my darkest moments, is Applejack. The family pony, the hard worker, the truth machine. I can almost hear her telling me: "A change would do ya good,

Fear and Tears on the Night Shift

The woman standing on the other side of the hotel desk is in rough shape. She just arrived here in a cab and it's pretty obvious that she just threw on whatever clothes were within reach to make the trip.   "I need a room," she sobs.   Jen doesn't ask what's wrong; she's been here longer than me and has probably seen it all. We wait awkwardly for the woman to compose herself a little more before requesting an ID. She can't stop crying the whole time, even when another guest walks in.   "Ar

The slow death of the American mall

Greetings, everyone. I just wanted to tell you a few interesting stories I have dug up about retail history. I've done some work in the field, but only in the past year have I begun to understand what a simple store can reveal about a community, and the stories it can tell--even after it's gone.   Take shopping malls, for example. When I was growing up we went to Maplewood Mall, a vibrant and healthy shopping center that's still going strong. Back then I thought malls were these big, unstoppab

I'M LEAVING (...my house, not the board xD)

Psych. It's been a while since I posted a serious blog and I think the time is right. ^^   When is a house no longer a home? I guess that's different for everybody--my house is a tiny apartment, for example. Maybe it's when you have new neighbors who make too much noise. Maybe it's when you look outside and realize most of the people you knew around here have moved away. Or maybe it's when you just can't afford to live there anymore. -_-   I was so desperate to get out of my old job that I q

Why I love you guys

So I've heard a few members around here, the highly respected CronaTheCritic and others, say they're disappointed in a perceived lack of "love and tolerance" in the fandom and they don't identify with other bronies like they used to. I understand why they might feel that way, but at the same time, I think a lot of us don't know how lucky we are to have this place.   Do I agree with everybody here? No. Have I run into a few members that made me happy to have an Ignore feature? Sure. Is "love an

...Nope. A-ah didn't run away from no Christmas.

The real Applejack wouldn't want me to lie about it, so yes, I did run away from home on Christmas Eve. Or what used to be home before I got my own place last year. I still come back so I can be with my family during the holidays, despite my many not-so-fond memories of childhood.   Well, you know how it goes sometimes: for no particular reason, a dark cloud is hovering over your head, and every small thing that goes wrong intensifies the storm, and you know you're headed for either an explosi

I Fly By Night No Longer

With all due respect to the greatest princess and greatest villain seen here...   This third-shift job just isn't working out. -_- Being nocturnal hasn't been all bad. I've been blessed with some great views and picked out constellations I hadn't seen since high school astronomy. The night truly is a wonderful time. But when I have to drag myself into a ghastly, gleaming facade of consumer artifice known as 'Wal-Mart' each evening at ten, its beauty is lost. I hoped it would give me a place t
