This song's in my head for some reason.
I'm not sure why I'm still awake. I don't know why this song shows up out of nowhere. I figure since I'm here and all I might as well start rambling.
I'm not sure why I made this blog separate from my other blog. I have no idea what I was thinking when I made two separate blogs. I guess my nighttime thoughts are different than my daytime thoughts? No idea.
That being said, Let's discuss the song, since I am effectively brain-dead and cannot process anything but pure raw emotionless thought.
And yet, this song is full of emotion and quite lacking in though. It was originally by Korn (like pretend the R is backwards n stuff), but I heard this version first, and after taking a listen at the original it sounded really really weird. Like no offense to those who like the original, or anything. Just like, my opinion and stuff.
Wow, so many typos I needed to fix in that paragraph. Sleeplessness is definitely not good on the brain.
Moving on to the actual song itself. It starts out with a spooky yet melodious tune, and Amy wooes us with her wonderful singing voice. Like seriously this band is bucking awesome omg. But if you pay attention to the lyrics, you will see the raw hatred behind her sweet, melodious voice. And when I say sweet and melodious, I MEAN sweet and melodious like holy shit this girl can sing.
Then they start playing the drums and the guitars n stuff and it starts feeling more hatred-y. Amy sounds angry as well now. You start to feel the anger, rather than just seeing it. Then comes the chorus. It sounds a bit weird, hearing Amy swear, but it adds so much to the pure, raw emotion.
The rest of the song carries out mostly the same, with Amy singing about how she was wronged and how much she hates the person who wronged her. This song is clearly about the pure, thoughtless hatred you feel when someone has wronged you. When you've been beaten and bruised (literally or not), and the only thing on your mind is vengeance. All of us have felt it at one point in our lives, I'm sure, and for some of us there are just some things that bring out the worst in us, no matter the source. But this song expresses the thoughts of those in this unfortunate position, and brings them out to the light.
Well, I'm tired now, and I can only think so much before it starts hurting. I'm gonna take another crack at sleeping again and hope it works this time. But thank you all for reading, if you did that is, and if not then no matter, that's cool too. I probably won't even remember this in the morning.
Ciao.

We all know her: The talented purple unicorn alicorn that everypony loves to love. But why is it that we love her so? The answer of course, is simple: In many ways, Twilight is the audience.
In the very first shot she appears in, Twilight is reading a book. 36 seconds later, she is shown to not have many friends, and be more interested in her studies.
Sound familiar? Perhaps, perhaps not. It may not be books or studying, but chances are that most of you reading this have some sort of interest, something that's usually considered 'geeky' or 'nerdy'. Chances are that many of you may not have many offline friends, whether by personal choice, or due to unforeseen circumstances.
Nevertheless, the very first scenes in the show establishes a connection between Twilight and the audience, and then goes on to strengthen the connection as the series goes on. She's constantly shown as the 'nerdy' character (or "Egghead", as Rainbow Dash is fond of calling her), as the audience surrogate.
This of course is ingenious on the creator's part, because as we all know, people love watching a protagonist that they can relate to.
Now, on to Princess Twilicorn. This caused much controversy among the fandom. Care to guess why? Yes, that's right: Suddenly, Twilight has wings, a crown, shoes, and even a curl in her hair. In other words: She's Queen Pretty Pretty Princess, and that is not a protagonist that we can relate to.
Fortunately so far, Season 4 has made Princess Twilicorn work quite well. She's still the Twilight we know and love, only different. Older, more mature, let's say.
I was definitely skeptical at first, but now I have very high hopes for Twilicorn. And who knows? She may even surprise us.
Thus concludes my first pony opinion blerg thing. I don't even really know where I plan on going with these, but hey, this was fun to write, and I definitely need to keep myself writing if I want to get rid of this block. >____<
So, yeah. What did you think? Do you agree/disagree? Have something to add? Just dropping in to say hi? Whatever it is, any and all comments would be highly appreciated!

So I've been thinking and stuff, and I decided to do like a thing on this blog. Not a very big thing, but y'know, a thing. Because I really don't want to just fill it up with questionnaires.
So, you know how some people do episode reviews? Well, I'm going for something a little bit different. I'm gonna do pony reviews: I'll be giving you my own personal thoughts on each individual character in the show and how I feel they've progressed throughout the series.
Some entries will be big, and some will be small; It all depends on how strong my opinion on them is. So, yeah. That's what I'm gonna do. So, this is just a heads-up I guess. So, uh... Yeah. That.
Here, gave a weird gif.
Actually no, my internet is being a douchenozzle and won't let me post any weird gifs. Nevertheless, the gif I planned to post was indeed quite weird.

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y3gYsFxDVI
HERE BE THE LYRICS SO YOU CAN SING ALONG:
My mind's a kaleidoscope, it thinks too fast
Blurs all the colors 'til I can't see past
The last mistake, the choice I made
Staring in the mirror with myself to blame
Sometimes I'm afraid of the thoughts inside
Nowhere to hide inside my mind
I'm scared that you'll compare and I'll look a lifetime past repair
I second guess myself to death, I re-solicit every step
What if my words are meaningless? What if my heart's misleading this?
I try to capture every moment as it comes to me
Bottle up the memories and let them keep me company
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight
I will not be giving in tonight
When I'm old and grey, or thirty, or whatever happens first,
I'll need you to reassure me I didn't waste a verse
Or worse, what if my life's work is reduced to just myself
Like never let you get a word in, while I dissect my mental health
Or lack thereof, whatever, there's too many things to track
I really can't remember if I'm insane or insomniac
Now days, all the kids want crazy, wanna diagnose themselves
Trade up made up epidemics, pass around prescription pills
But my disorder can't be cured by a bottle, blade, or dose
Self-disgust and selfishness tend to hold me awfully close
But I don't wanna let you see that, I don't want my friends to know
Self-disgust and selfishness take me everywhere I go
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight
I will not be giving in tonight
Try as I might to keep it together
Why is recovery taking forever?
Fool the whole world, just until I get better
I'm terrified I'll be faking forever (faking forever)
On and on I wonder what went wrong inside my head
I don't have to have the answers, but tonight I wish I did
All the pain I can't explain away won't fade
All the the secrets silenced by the shame
Don't make me say it
Don't make me say it
Don't make me say it
Don't make me say it
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't make me say it
Don't make me say it
Don't make me say it
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight
I will not be giving in tonight
