astra: I have to go out for lunch, so I'm going to take this opportunity to head off. Well, it's been an experience! As for contact information, I think it best that I fade out along with this place. Not having the time and energy to be on here with the consistency that everyone else does, I never really got so invested in things, and I don't see that ever changing if I move someplace else. Besides, unfortunately, my experience here has shown me that ponies are the only thing I have in common with most bronies. And, even there, our interpretations of what they mean seems to vary widely. We all really do seem to be a long way from Equestria. *hitches up her telescope and sky journal* Anyway. To anyone who hasn't zoned out on me already, keep it pony, and I hope that you do find your own Equestria, if that's what you truly seek. If not, well . . . Stay safe.

astra: @trixiethewonderful What does a bundle of sticks being an MLP:FiM fan have to do with anything? And how does a bundle of sticks become an MLP:FiM fan to begin with, for that matter?

astra: @omni Considering it's only known to people within this community, one has to wonder, quite frankly, if this is a community worth saving.

astra: @cabal Wow. This is not being a good day for me. Not at all. Though, all things considered, this is the least of my losses. Still, sad to see RDN go. So long, and thanks for all the muffins.

astra: @leonkfox Hee! I like that game, even though the concept of it is a bit disturbing, if you think too much on it. (Then again, maybe that's one of the reasons I like it. ;) )

astra: @mrdragon No, I know it's scandalous, but it's true! :O And I've been managing well enough. Lots of stuff to do, very little energy with which to do it all. And how have you been doing, there?

astra: @ceruleanspark Right, it would have happened -- if it happened -- before the change in the chair position, from the way that they are talking. And, given their intention of keeping everything hush-hush, if all of this did go down, I wouldn't call it a lock that the problems with the guests are all fixed now. Time will tell, here. Either this is going to be denied as bogus, or a few people -- the current con chair, for starters -- will have some explaining and/or reassuring to do, and pronto. Either way, some serious damage control will be needed.

astra: @ceruleanspark I really, really, really hope that they turn out to be typical Internet bogus nonsense. Both for her sake, and that of those going with the expectation of seeing Faust and deLancie. But, with her suddenly disappearing from everything . . . It really doesn't look good.

Thankfully, I'll be heading home soon. Sorry to hear you still have a ways to go. :/ I hope that you get through it all right!

astra: @mrdragon Mmm, yes! A nice banana split would be great, right about now, with scoops of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla (with those little vanilla bean flecks) to add even more color when you pour sprinkles over everything.
