Probably Stuck Between Dimensions
(Yes, I know this place is back. No, I don't plan on returning; I just don't fit in with the whole "4chan vibe", as I heard it described recently. Anyway, if anyone wants to keep in touch, catch TryshaGray on Twitter. Otherwise, have fun, and keep it pony.)
Not all ponies miss out on all that Princess Luna has put together for her show after she brings out the moon! Me? I do some of my best work and spell-weaving when the stars come out. Besides, I tend to be the sort to keep to myself, a lot of the time. Lately, I've found I'm a lot more of a "Twilight Sparkle" person, though some still say I have a very "Fluttershy" personality, right down to being more likely to talk to your critter companions than you, at first. It takes me a little while, but if I don't get too badly spooked, I'll open up. And if you see me suddenly pop out of a moon portal, or catch my eye hovering in the sky as I try to find someone or something I've lost again . . . sorry about that. I really try not to startle people too much with this stuff. It's just so cool, though!

@ceruleanspark Heh! To paraphrase another old saying, there is no problem that cannot be resolved with an excessively-powered laser? (Well, also of the correct wavelength.)
-
@zach121k Just use a laser to excite the ions.
-
@zach121k Bah! I'm going to be like Wednesday Addams, and go as a homicidal maniac. Remember: They can look like anyone. *twitch*
-
@pim18thedragon Hello, and welcome. :)
-
@ceruleanspark Mmm, true. I can imagine that the background check is a lot less invasive as well.
-
@ceruleanspark Indeed. Depending upon the team/squad you're on, there's an 18-24 month rotation, in order to try to prevent burn-out. Unfortunately, when you're in a position where you tend to have to deal with some of the worst of humanity on a day-to-day basis, even the best start to get affected by it. Perhaps something similar needs to be implemented here as well (though, obviously, on a shorter rotation schedule, since 18-24 months is an eternity online).
-
@nerthos Glad to know that I'm not the only one who does things like that. Then again, I've always been a night-owl, so . . .
-
@sugar Hello, Sugar! Long time, no see, and good to see you again. :) I hope that you've been doing well!
-
@dezzierose Ahhh. Well, in that case, I'm just glad that you just came away with a bruise, then. :)
-
@cabal In the interest of fairness, the other side: http://moviecitynews.com/2011/10/joint-statement-from-afm-aftra-dga-iatse-ibt-and-sag-regarding-stop-online-piracy-act-hr-3261/ (Not saying I agree. Just making sure both sides are presented. If nothing else, it helps to know your enemy, and where they're coming from.)

@dezzierose Eek! Glad to hear that you're all right. No trouble for you or anything, I hope? Other guy at fault, let the insurance companies duke it out, etc.?
-
@zach121k Have fun! :)
-
@ceruleanspark Glad you made it OK. :) Hello, Scoot!
-
@tenmihara Well, glad you got your homework done, then. :) Not so much about your work day just now about to kick off. I hope the day goes well for you. :)
-
@tenmihara A little silly, very overworked, but managing well enough. Glad it's Friday. :) How's by you?
-
@gangstashy *GASP!* NOOOOOOOO! Well, at least you didn't tell us whether or not Discord wins.
-
@purpletinker Ohhhh, no!//There goes Coltyo//Go, go, Pinkzilla! (Ooooo . . .)
-
@zach121k Hello, Zach! :) Sounds like you've had an interesting day already.
-
-
@purplephish20 Saw them in 2006. Would have loved to have seen them when Freddie Mercury was alive, but it was still a great show. :)
-
@ceruleanspark Hello, Cerulean! Yay for trains! :D I hope all goes well in London.
-
@communistprime Ohhh, I would love to be a fly on the wall to see what happens when she does that! :D
-
Time for me to flop over and get to dreamland. Stay well, all, and have good days and nights. And all the new folks coming in, if you come in peace, then welcome, and don't let our few problem children distract you from the many nice folks here. :)
-
@pinhooves Hee! Headed to sleep in a minute, myself. Stay well, and pleasant dreams. :)
-
@optimus Sorry to hear about Flankbook. Peeking out because you sound nice. Hope you'll stick around, then. Don't mind the trolls. Like @ceruleanspark said, most folks here are nice. :) Anyway, about to get to sleep here, actually, but thought I'd wave over. Stay well!
-
@ceruleanspark Ahhh, that does sound a lot more productive, yes. I've learned there are two people that you never, NEVER want to tick off in the business world: receptionists, and I.T. techs/administrators. Both can help tremendously in difficult situations, if you're on their good side, and both can make your living Hell if you rub them the wrong way.
-
@nerthos Ah, good stuff. And I would definitely recommend Savatage (also known as Trans-Siberian Orchestra). "Gutter Ballet" might be a good place to start.
-
@scribuscampbell Heh! An interesting point of view. I'll have to remember that when I'm feeling like ringing someone's neck. "It's not that I'm fed up with you! It's that I'm just so optimistic that you could really be a better person, if you just stopped acting like such a complete self-absorbed prat!"
