  2. @ponythis It's not that bad, it was just pretty freaky turning back and noticing that there were bits of blood on the floor behind me. I have no idea how that didn't hurt, either.

  3. How did I not notice my foot was cut for what has to be at least several hours? I've left behind a trail of blood on the floor that I now need to clean up

  4. @solarboy That's an awesome rule, in my school, if the teacher doesn't show up and a relief doesn't come in, we're expected to stay in class quietly and do our work. Needless to say that never happens, but we can't leave, and that's kinda dreary

  5. @chipthe3rd No, you definitely aren't. I'm with you on that score...

  6. @trombe Another thing, don't be afraid to begin writing in earnest, even when you have no clear idea of what you're going to do with your ideas. By experience, most of the ideas and links I end up using in stories are ideas I came up with while half-way through writing, often the result of discarding an earlier idea I had once I've tried it and realized it doesn't work for any number of reasons. As a result of this, I have not yet ever wrote a story which even remotely looks like what I planned. Go wild and write, ideas come as often halfway through as they do in the beginning!

  7. @trombe Being a a bit of writer myself with a similar writer's block, something that helps me often involves randomly and haphazardly spilling ideas all over my writing medium in the form of random lines of speech, description, even doodles and pictures, and eventually ideas come on how to link them together. It doesn't always work, and it's probably not the best way to overcome writer's block, but it doesn't hurt and it's a pretty darned fun process if you're in a sufficiently good mood. Great way to spend time when you're bored, too. Good Luck!

  8. @pride This might be totally irrelevant to whatever I was saying before, but I totally love that name you have there. Oh look, I got distracted again.

  9. I've only been here for 24 hours, and the first page I opened when I got back home today was this. What is wrong with me? Why am I still typing this when I have a ridiculous backlog of work to work through?

  10. @zarkanorf I'm not very good at the 'encouraging words' thing, but since it's Kindness Day, I'll give it a shot. I guess the most important thing to think about is the fact no matter how low you think you've sunk in life, or in how big a mess you think you are, it's never impossible to pull yourself out of it. Of course, sometimes you can't cope with it on your own, because everyone needs help and friendship and kindness sometimes, and if you can't find it with friends and family in real life, you can always look here, or anywhere else this fanbase gathers, because we're always here to listen and Friendship is Magic. :)

  11. Ponies have got me onto a microblogging site. Dear God.
