I don't believe in analyzing text. If I'm reading a good book, I take it at face value and enjoy it for what it is. The more you try to extract a meaning from it, the less enjoyable it becomes.

@AJ2489 That's so fucking dumb!

School English lessons ruined plenty of stories for me when they tried to get us to over analyze things. We spent lessons upon lessons just reading the same chapter or two over and over to the point that I lost all interest in the charcters or what was going on.
I now hate the book Lord of the Flies because of how we were made to read and "study" it in oh so much detail. If they were to ask me to give a summary of the whole story right now, I would just state in a deadpan voice that it is about "A group of children becoming stranded on an island and going a bit mad." I really just lost all enthusiasm for the book thanks to the autopsy it was made to undergo.
If William H Golding is somehow reading this from beyond the grave. I'm sorry for what my school English lessons did to your book! Maybe someday, I will be able to appreciate it in the way you wanted it to be appreciated! And I hope that I do!
Stories for me are a means to entertain. The goal is enjoyment! Something to get the imagination going. They are not something to be disected into the tiniest irrelevant detail to the point that the story loses all meaning just to make a bunch of faux intellects look smart and insightful. It's sacrilege when they do that.

Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that a thousand pennies is still only $10?

@Sondash Studios Same. Those little ten-cent coins are oddly satisfying.

@shyabetes3939 I've been taking Latin for five years now, so I've got a good number of useful phrases up my sleeve

@shyabetes3939 It must be one of the true signs of learning a language when you can build up a colourful collection of useful phrases.

Goodnight everypony! Anypony care to give me some muffins before I hit the hay?

Oh my Celestia, 3333 brohoofs!
Happy Threes-versary to me then!

Is it weird that I feel like even years have been better for me than odd years?
-
-
@Treeglow Flicker Thanks, and one for you too!
The weird thing is that I normally prefer odd numbers (especially primes) to even ones, despite being the opposite when it comes to years.

Let's all give each other muffins!

It's literally 5°F outside right now.

I'm back, everypony!!!
And I have 164 notifications to scroll through.
Anyway, this week I've been taking midyear exams at my school. The chemistry one I'm pretty sure I aced, and the algebra one didn't kill me. All that's left is a history exam tomorrow, and then I get to enjoy a 3 day weekend!
Oh yeah, and I wrote this earlier this week: a Formula One race but with EQG characters as drivers. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AZEBrghtvI8QKlI4_qTtPNxpwKQi8rXsJvwxCYhJ2kA
I'm feeling much better now than I was last week, and I hope you guys are too!

I'm going to be taking a temporary break from the forums. I'll probably be back within a week or so, but for now, see you soon.

It's been over a year since I saw Legend of Everfree, and I still can't get over how beautiful Flutters looked at the Crystal Gala!

@shyabetes3939 He'll probably be speechless because of all the cuteness!
-
@Mellow Mane Of course! I think I'll be ready to start writing again soon!

Good morning, everypony!
How are we all doing today?
Personally, I'm feeling loads better than I have been these past few days.

Time for me to take a shower and hit the sack. Goodnight everypony, and may Luna watch over your dreams!
