It's not my work. I'm not advertising something I wrote. This is a beautiful, poignant short story; one of the best I've ever read. Do yourself a favour and read it, because it's honestly brilliant.
So I was at Starbucks the other night, buying a bag of coffee beans. There’s a line, but it’s only three people long, so I’m like “no big deal” and wait with my coffee. It quickly becomes obvious that these three people ahead of me are friends and hanging out at Starbucks. The first two order their drinks loudly, but they’re pretty ordinary. Then the third guy steps up to the plate. "WHY’S YOUR MEDIUM CALLED GRANDE?" he says in this smug, condescendingly hipster voice. "GRANDE IS ITALIAN FOR
so I realized I made seven whole blog posts in 2015, and I am well on my way to breaking that record in 2016 because I have posted zero posts and it's already April. sorry guys I know you expect so much more of me. I thought it might be fun to do something with this blog though. you know, because it's here and all, so why not, right? I used to hold name-changing contests which were fun, but now that I'm an FA I'm not allowed to change my name, so that's out. (take a moment to weep, dear re
Yes, upon much introspection and re-viewing of the show My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic, I have come to the realization that I am a brony. I first watched the pilot episode with the intention of simply seeing what all the fuss was about. I didn't plan to particularly like it or dislike it; in fact, I was planning to write a blog post afterwards saying that "It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible, so if you like it that's fine, and if you dislike it that's fine, and we should all just
yeee boys what a game. some brilliant hockey and a swell shutout by mr. price. that's eight periods without a goal i do believe. a big round of applause to all y'all other nations out there who didn't win a medal. you're still ok. see you in four years, olympics.
As was related in my previous entry, I am now an employee of an adorable little coffee shop. I have worked four shifts so far, and learned a little more with each shift. My first shift, as you know, I started out washing dishes. My second shift saw me working the till and learning how to pull a shot of espresso. My third and fourth shifts were interesting. Saturday was my third day. I learned how to steam milk (which turned out to be way easier than I had thought it would be), and then beg
I missed three buses.
I feel like my life is some cosmic joke. Like aliens are watching me on their version of reality TV and laughing their heads off.
I took that pony personality quiz everyone's raving about (or was, at any rate), and I was a little surprised by the result. But before I share my pony personality, I decided I'd give you guys a chance to guess which pony I am most like. If you know me at all and can base your guess on a reasonable argument, you get cookies. But if you just want to guess because you've seen me around the forums and thought "omg he's totally a pinkie pie" then that's fine too.
I've plum forgotten when my Premier Membership is going to run out, so if I suddenly stop posting in my blog, now you know why. Of course, it could happen in a day, a month, or six months- I'm not exactly sure when I purchased it. So no need to fret, dear citizens! Just be on the ready. Now, I've had a good day. Who else has had a good day?
...when you hear the word "train?" Personally, I think of one of those big strong locomotives that can pull a hundred cars. Literally hundreds. I've counted.
If you guessed my car keys, you're right. Yeah, so last night's Canucks game was so disappointing I guess I accidentally locked my keys in my car. I've got my keys back now, but I'm $40 poorer. Hopefully it's a lesson learned and won't do that again. And if the Canucks win tomorrow, maybe that'll make up for it.
It's really cool seeing my name in bold.
Ever since I went Premier, my name's been different. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga... both nice names, but more for fun than anything else. They weren't really me. It felt like I was slightly a different person using them. Kinda.
But Eyru is me. This is my name. I've had it for years, and it feels good to get it back.
What's your favourite name out of all the names you've used over the years? Like I said, mine's Eyru, but Justin Bieber comes in very
I have an idea! I'll write a serial, and post it on my blog. People can comment on it and request for things to happen next, and then they will! It'll be like Bioniclestory meets BZPStuck. Or I could just post photos on my blog. Of ordinary things. And write commentary for them until thay become EXTRAordinary. What else could I do to spice my blog up? Suggestions, comrades!
Barbies have taken over BZPower, and I just heard Rebecca Black's Friday for the first time.
I want to go back to bed.
Actually, the Barbie thing is cool.
Oh auto-tune, must you wreak such havoc on my sensitive auditory organs?
Also Owl City's Alligator Sky is beautiful. Such a contrast, but so, so good.
I GRADUATED!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes, I have returned. Let the celebrations commence! So, I'm back from Mexico, and though I had a brilliant time, it feels great to be back home. Spring break is almost over, and I have a feeling I'm going to spend these last few days catching up on life, both online and off. At the head of the line is SS#9: my story Redemption won third place! If that's not a good enough reason to go check it out, I don't know what is, so go read it! But seriously, it's a huge honour to have won, especia
the smell of freshly cut grass and smoke the weight on my chest that's finally flying away the taste of the sunrise and the wind in the morning and the sound of the stars singing to the moon welcome home
My word. It has been a while, hasn't it? I'd comment on the dust, but with everything looking so brand-spankin' new, I don't think there's any to be found. I'll probably be spending the next few weeks breaking seven-year-old habits and figuring out how everything on this new site works. That includes getting back into the BZPRPG- having done no RPing for how long now? Five months? Wow. I'm feeling quite rusty, and even a nice browse through the archives wasn't really enough to remind me of
