    So lately, after all this studying for school, avoiding my usual things, as well as any means of communication..I realized that I'm not like Rarity, my favorite pony. I'm more like Twilight Sparkle.
     
    Twilight is well known for being very organized, very studious, someone who loves to read, and someone who prefers to be alone. I ignore people while I try to get things done. I'd do ANYTHING to meet a crunching deadline. For just one day, all I wanted to do was to be alone.
     
    I took a walk earlier today before the NASCAR Nationwide Series race aired on TV, and I reflected on this past week, which was extremely hectic. I had to take time off of these forums (the internet in general), ignore people's text messages/emails/IMs, etc, and placed my full focus on three exams I had to take for three of my classes, volunteering to work on my parents 25th anniversary projects such as invitations and a slideshow presentation, as well as the truckload of homework I had to do. I never really had to "leave" like that before. But I think it was my unit load of 18 credit hours was severely getting into me. I literally forgot about what was going on out in the world.
     
    I like Rarity because of her element of generosity, and her personality. Are those the only reasons why she's my favorite? Twilight may be my *first* favorite, but the elements of harmony between the two are the reasons why Rarity is now my top favorite than Twilight. I find the whole thing weird, tbh.
     
    At the moment now, I feel normal again. After surviving that long to-do list, and reconnecting with my best friends (even if it's just for a few minutes on skype!), I feel like goofing off...but at the same time, I just wanna lay in bed and be lazy. \o/

    Tamagotchi!

    By Starflower,

    A few days ago, I was hit by a large wave of nostalgia, as I discovered that Tamagotchi, the hand-held virtual pet that was very popular back in the 90's, is now a smartphone application.
     
    When I was 7 years old, my dad, who worked at a drug store at the time, bought one of those (above), unaware that they were becoming popular. Let's say it became my first "pet", granted I never had a dog or a cat at the time (or any animal that required me to feed/play/etc). So, I started my first Tamagotchi, waited about an hour for the egg to hatch, and boom, I was well underway to taking care of it!
     
    I took it to school every day, despite disruptions, and took it with me everywhere.
     
    Then it died two days later of excessive sickness. At 7 I didn't know what the Injection symbol meant. So I ignored it, and well... it died. I cried when it died, I didn't even want to go to school on that day. BUT THEN, my dad got a pencil and restarted my Tamagotchi device and it was reverted back to an egg. I didn't want that to happen, I just wanted to bury my device and pay for a funeral.
     
    Afterwards I owned up to 20 Tamagotchi devices. I didn't lose one by one, or bury one by one. I collected them. To this day, at 22 years old, I wonder why I did NOT keep at least one. I was such an irresponsible kid back then.
     
    After discovering the Tamagotchi app, I downloaded on my tablet (since my phone has an older Android version and isn't compatible *cough* Froyo *cough*), and immediately got hooked. I literally felt I was seven years old again. Sitting in the corner of my room playing "Look This Way" (Rock Paper Scissors in app version) and living like it's the 90's again. My, THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MAN.
     
    Currently, my Tamagotchi is 3 years old and weighs 28 ounces. He is just like mommy, actually: heavy sleeper, loves to eat, very competitive in games, and loves to be spoiled. I call him Blob. Here are some baby pics.
     
     
     
     
    To this day...I feel more responsible now. xD

    some thoughts

    By Starflower,

    Looking back a couple years ago...actually...from the point where I discovered MLP by my best friend, I feel like it took me FOREVER to become the brony/pegasister I am now. I took a few breaks from the fandom, I was dragged into the fandom a few times, and this time, I just find myself coming back to it, because it's the reason why I changed. Before ponies I was a pessimist, I viewed the world in a different way. I was a shy person and I always isolated myself from people.
     
    I lost three friends today because they found out that I've gone deeper into the fandom. One of them said, "go find a new addiction, then we'll talk." That...literally punched me in the heart, because I felt close to that person. It just felt horrible. Right now, I just don't care. I love MLP, and if people don't like it, that's okay. I'll show them the exit, down the hall to your left.
     
    Although I may have lost a few friends, that doesn't really mean I'm giving up this incredible fandom. My true friends were solidified by the magic that is MLP. Without it, I wouldn't be friends with my best friend, or have met the incredible people I've been talking to lately on these forums and on twitter. In fact, I wouldn't even be here. For those of you reading and have interacted with you lately, thanks for being amazing.
     
    I love you all. Keep being awesome, okay :3

    SO. I finally managed to create a blog for myself. Hooray! Normally I make my first entries awkward because I'm really bad at starting out. I usually talk and write and asdfghjkl; and in the end I reread the entry realizing I just talk too much. I just have a crazy, yet talkative mind.
     
    I haven't actually blogged for years, and I'm kinda hoping to settle in here so I can post random ramblings, as well as ponies (duh!). I guess...most will be about school, since I'm a college student and there's so many random thoughts I want to get rid of.
     
    I'm more of a traditional writer, like...I write stories, poems, and diaries with pencils or pens in notebooks. And now I decided to move away from those and just stick to blogging online. Saves time (and trees! xD).
     
    I'd go ahead and write about myself (and my boring life), but I'm tired and I had a loooong Hearts & Hooves day. I saw Safe Haven earlier today. By myself. Lesson learned: bring someone with you if you plan to see a movie like that one. Tissues aren't enough.
     
    See ya around, everypony :3
