    Not much, just some life-saving yesterday...which reminds me...

    Around the same time that whole situation on the chat was unfolding, another situation with a different member popped up. I'm always willing to help, so I juggled the two problems. Then, right after the chat situation, ANOTHER member came to me with something on his mind. That left me doing a balancing act with three different, yet grievously serious problems....

    Let's just say I probably have a few grey hairs and a headache from helping out, but I can't leave my friends to deal with their problems alone....that's just how I am...

    If the two members are reading this, don't feel bad and DON'T stop asking me for help. I'm willing to deal with a bit of stress as long as I can help you. That goes for everypony here, I will literally drop what I'm doing to help you guys. Nothing is more important to me than making sure that your problems are dealt with. :) <3

    Just wanted to say that....

    Thank you for sharing that, pixel. Pony tunes while on the road, huh? You are the man! *Brohoof* I have some in my car as well. As for where you live, is everything there okay?

    As for my relatives by the Jersey shore, in case anyone was wondering, they're fine. It, thankfully, wasn't as bad as it could've been. Just some minor debris (leaves and twigs). My relative that lived by the water is okay too, although he did have some minor flooding for a while, but the waters have receded. As far as I know, no tornadoes were reported in NJ. I only know of three reported ones: 1 in Delaware and 2 in Virginia. Unfortunately, there have been 11 deaths that I'm aware of. Of course, there has been some damage in certain areas, while others came out virtually unscathed. Naturally, I'm seeing some dumb comments about it. One person I removed from my friends list because his comments just disgusted me. I haven't talked to him in a while anyway, so it's no big loss. Basically he was saying that the storm was a "bust just as [he] predicted" and the deaths weren't a tragedy because it was "just dumb people not heeding the warnings." Dumb or not, a death is a tragedy. I'd like to see him say that it wasn't a tragedy to the families of those that have lost loved ones. Fortunately, a lot are being thankful that it wasn't as bad as it could've been, which is good. I guess it only take a personal tragedy to get through to some. Oh well, can't do anything about that.

    Anyone else that has already been through it or is going through it, I hope you guys are okay.

    Yay for Zephyr! Look at you, Zephyr, with all your 2,019 posts, your "senior member" rank, you being a fanfic moderator, and you having 34 reputation points and a green crystal. You must think you're pretty cool, or something. And you know what? You'd be right! :p

    Just for laughs, here's a couple of facts (read that last part in GLaDOS's voice):

    As of this post:

    • I still need 161 posts until I'm a "member."
    • 1 more +rep will earn me a sixth purple crystal.
    • 6 more points until I earn my first green crystal.
    Pinkie Pie is the best pony.*
    • You guys rock, woo hoo!

    /End of facts.

    I hope you enjoyed that. ;)

    *It has been proven with fancy issue-muddying mathematics.**
    **The above footnote is false.

    Christ I'm scared. I'm at the hospital right now, just hanging around the shops, waiting for my consultation. Waiting really is the worst part. I'd rather have bad news given to me right away than all this damn uncertainty.

    Oh, and Spiderman is best pony.

    They're great, with those wings. But then they had to spoil it with that horn... I swear, I'm not obsessed :p

    Are you okay? I hope whatever news you get is good!!

    Oh wow. Someone actually +repped me. I didn't think somepony would actually do it, but whoever you are, thank you very much! Actually, it is you who is awesome! *Ahem* I mean...

    [​IMG]
    No, but seriously, I didn't expect that. I Pinkie Pie Swear. So, once again, thanks. :)

    Is everything okay, Luprony? I must admit I'm out of the loop if you mentioned it somewhere else.

    Horn + Wings = Kick-ass Pony. Actually, earth ponies are just as great. Remember what Setzer said about earth ponies not having wings or magic in his presentation, "This doesn't take away from her significance as a character." Yeah, that's right. I totally just advertised Setzer's presentation in case anypony here hasn't seen it yet. You totally should, by the way, if you haven't. :)

    I may not have needed to, but I definitely wanted to. I'd feel bad if I didn't. You're welcome, and yes, I'm having a pretty good day so far. I hope you are as well.

    Oh, I'm having a good day. No power from the Hurricane, though, so I get by on my iPhone, which is running out of battery. Anywho, thank you for asking.

    Oh no! You don't have power? I'm guessing you don't have a generator? How are you getting by with food (no refrigeration) and not having hot water and other things like that?

    Why do you both worry about me so much? I'll be fine. We usually go out to eat, to my dismay, and now since I have battery on my computer, I can do some writing I've been putting off (That's right Zephyr!!!). Anyway, I'm fine. I can still talk to you guys, can't I? So that means I'll give you updates here and there. Don't worry!!
