My Little Desktop

     One day at work, my brother and sister presented me with a little gift - a Funko MLP blind bag.  Of course I was delighted and when I pulled the pony out of the black wrapper, it was Apple Bloom~!  "Aww that's adorable!"  I said in front of my siblings.  I loved it.  Of course, such things quickly breed new addictions and shortly after, I began to acquire more.  The first one I pulled, to my  delight, was Sweetie Belle!  Well, at this point, I became hell bent on getting me a set of Cutie Mark Crusaders to put on my desk for inspiration.  I acquired several others, always seeming to get matched groups - Cadance and Shing Armor, Celestia and Luna.  With my luck diminishing, I simply got the rest as singles, plus one from an older set, giving each crusader her own princess mentor.  Here they are, serving as 'my little muses'.

The Journal

My little brother got me a gift - A beautiful journal with a dragon on the cover.

I've decided a use for this book.  Every day, if I can draw enough, I will write a little bit of something, to help inspire me.  It will help me to write more often, and to practice as well.  I feel like I will benefit from this, and my road to recovery will be a little easier to journey.

     It's a new year, a new life!  I've moved away from the Carolinas and into the heartland.  Life here has been quite the change, and it's taking me a lot of getting used to.  I'm managing, however, and I think in the long run it will be good for me.

     I was gone from IRC for about a month, while I had no internet connection to my computer.  That had to be one of the hardest things to deal with.  Yes, I have a bit of a internet addiction, but also being without my friends and away from the presence of a couple of my soulmates was really tasking on my spirit.  It's all hooked up, now and I have a fibered connection here.  That's a neat change from where I was.  Games happen once again and I also can RP and go back to watching Pony episodes!

     Slowly, I have been unpacking things and setting up my new "space".  I have the desk back up, my cards and pony things are mostly unpacked, except for my corner display - I need to find them a home and get them back out.  A small group of ponies graces my desk, and they give me a smile and help to fuel my dreams.  I even have a place I can write and work, now. 

     Things have been helping me.  My job doesn't stress me out and now I've gotten back in contact with people on the net and in the physical realm who genuinely spark my spirit.  My imagination has been on the rebound.  I've been setting up to RP again, and I'm getting back into RPGs with my brother and sister.  My spirit has been healing and I have felt this sense of energy which I had been lacking a long time.  It's a good feeling~  I'm anxious to finish some old stories and to begin new ones, to share with my beloved friends.  The bard has returned!
