Friendship is Magic, Ponies, Bronies, Hasbro and time to go the fuck to sleep

This Article here about a bunch of Bronies vs Hasbro getting into it over some legally debatable running Friendship is Magic episodes via a website and Hasbro's takedown of same website, greatly amused me. Mostly because the letter they left on the website...is freaking funny, out of line, but funny nonetheless.

Also it is way the hell past the time for me to go the fuck to sleep and I suggest anyone else that may be awake and reading this probably ought to go the fuck to sleep themselves.

Night all...Much Love

Finally Free

I almost sorta don't miss you at all
I'm almost happy you never call
I thought I'd miss you all the time
but I forget that you were mine
I wish you well I hope you're good
I guess you never understood
The things you did broke me apart
I'm glad you gave me back my heart
I feel like I am finally free
from all the mess you made of me
And when you said the pastures green
I finally see now what you mean
The grass is greener over here
and things have never been so clear

Day 1

I haven't smoked at all today. I am determined to quit smoking and be a positive inspiration for my mom. I'm using the patch. My mom even is trying to make it fun, got a calendar for each of us and stickers (evn got me my obsessions, MLP and Carebear) so we get to put a sticker on each day on the calendar that we are smoke free and don't cheat :) I've been recieving lots of positive inspiration and prayers from people online and at work today as well, even doing okay around a friend that smokes haven't even asked to bum one. I'm pretty proud of myself today and I want to be proud of myself tomorrow too. I KNOW this is worth it, it's just a matter of getting through the hard part.

What am I?

In this world of self-identification, self-medication, self-doubt, and self-harm I often wonder...what am I? I've always dated men until recently. I had a few sexual escapades with a few women, which I completely enjoyed, but never a relationship with. I coined myself as Bisexual, which I guess I still am, I've had sex with both men and women and am attracted to both and open to a relationship with both.

But now I'm in my first "lesbian relationship." I've been dating a woman for roughly 6 months now and I'm very happy with her. She may be the best relationship prospect I've had yet on many levels. But it is still a bit foreign to be dating a lesbian and yet I myself feel I have one foot in and one foot out of gay culture. She is gay. She only dates women. Only has sex with women and is only interested in women. I've already stated that I'm equal opportunity.

Yet I feel the desire to click with a community, and I guess I click more with the gay community right now than straight community. I mean fuck, I can pick up a copy of cosmo still but why? It will tell me about the makeup and clothes I drool over but also tell me how to please my man? I don't have or need a man, thanks anyway. But I fear I'd be shunned from the gay community as well because I'm new at a gay relationship and I'm not entirely gay...I just happen to be in a gay relationship.

I want to read a magazine I can relate to, that the relationship stories and advice actually apply. Yet don't want to look like a hypocrite by reading a magazine I may not have the street cred to buy.

This sounds stupid doesn't it? But I'm left questioning who or what I am and where do I fit in?

My girlfriend had a dream "they" killed me and then cloned me and I am a clone. She thinks I'm a clone now. Its becoming hurtful. She believes it, even cried.

I'm reading chicken soup for the soul: loving our cats and its wonderful but so heart touching and sad at parts several stories have made me cry already.
