    Well, Here I Am Again...

    ...needing to scream into the void.

    "But," as Simon and Garfunkel sang, "all my words come back to me / In shades of mediocrity / Like emptiness in harmony", so I'll use someone else's.

    Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
    To the last syllable of recorded time;
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

    Twilight and the Door: How and Why I Wrote It

    This story was an exercise in writing, particularly in the process of writing. I've written several stories on this site, and so far I am satisfied with none of them. I don't consider myself a real writer, in part because I've only ever been able to finish short, one- to three-chapter fanfics. And I know why that is (aside from the fact that I'm a terrible procrastinator).

    Share a Smile!

    Look, I know that I'm kind of a nobody on this site, but I've decided to pick up Crystal Wishes' "Share a Smile" idea. In case you haven't heard of it, here's what she wrote:

    Here's what I'd like everyone to do: write a blog post about someone (or someones!) who you don't normally interact with that you admire, look up to,

Just had a thought... · 5:45am Apr 21st, 2017

Here is a list of my favorite songs in MLP (not in any particular order):
This Day Aria
All of the Sirens' songs
The "happy Hearth's Warming" song from the Scrooge episode, and the Luna song from the same
Smile

Notice a theme here? Well, there are two: first, they're all well-composed, with good lyrics, strong, clear melodies, and more often than not several lines of instrumental under the melody. They're good songs; not much more to say about that. In fact, they're the best songs in the show from a musical perspective, especially in contrast to songs like "Art of the Dress" which, while a strong character show, is lacking in poetry and a cohesive melody. I am a very musical person, and a poet--it only makes sense that I like these songs best. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. The second theme in this small group is that these are mostly villain songs. I think it's interesting that, for the most part, the best musical compositions in My Little Pony are the villains' pieces.

I don't know why. I just thought it was worth pointing out.
