Blogging Inside the Chimney

So my youtube channels attracted a couple of trolls to it, though i can't help but feel that it's all one account created by one of my "friends" to be a jerk. Funny thing is, none of that trolling is really getting to me because the way i see it, if i'm getting trolled, then that must first mean that my videos were popular enough to actually grab a trolls attention. So I'm just sitting here smiling while the troll gives me free views and fails at their job.

If they existed I would be in them. But more to the point, I think I'm beginning to develop a slight hatred of them over here. You see, my parents love the olympics, or at least my mother really does. That means they're getting up early and staying up late to watch the olympics. The problem with this? I'm a light sleeper and the TV is in the room right next to my bedroom. The problem isn't the volume of the TV either, they often turn it down enough that I don't get bothered by it.

The problem is that while they're watching the olympics, they seem to sometimes forget that other people exist in the house, and I'll get woken up by my mother screaming at the TV for one of our atheletes to go faster. I've tried asking them to quieten down, but then i get the whole "The Olympics happens only once every 4 years, and you should watch the hard working athletes too".

As a result my brain is a total train wreck and i've had a number of instances when I've fallen asleep in class. Fortunately it will be over soon, but until then I can pretty much say goodbye to being able to think straight.

This was a sleep-deprived Caberea, saying uuuuuuuuuuuh-*Falls asleep*.

So I finally got around to starting an RP. Considering how I hosted The Lunar Republic Roleplay way back when i started out here I figure it should go pretty well. Hope I'm not biting off more than i can chew with this...I'm doomed aren't i?

Yes you, for the Caberean Army, more commonly known as my youtoube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/CabereaWoof

As some of you may have noticed, I am very desperate to get this channel noticed, so i really need you're help for this. Tell you're friends about us, and tell them to tell their friends, and so on. Our channels small but we try really hard to deliver comedy gaming, so if you guys could please check it out that would be brilliant.

I'm hoping that we can get a total of 100 subscribers by the end of this year, but we're really struggling with it. So please, help us out, check out the channel yourselves and give us some feedback. What are we doing wrong, what are we doing right? and if you can, like a couple of videos and subscribe if you like it.

Thank you everypony.

Not exactly sure if there ever was one, but it seems to me that growing up things have gotten a lot less sensitive. I could've sworn that it was some sort of unsaid taboo to talk about sex so vividly in public when i was younger. Now we've got songs about it all of the radio, ones that don't even try to make it sound poetic or beautiful, and these ones get blared out day after day.

Now i sure as heck know that I never heard anyone talking like that when i was in the elementary school. The teachers might have sworn a couple of times when they thought we weren't around, but they certainly didn't talk like that, nor did any of the other kids there. This was a kid in year 3, and it's not unusual for me to hear kids in the elementray school talking like that now.

Now it might be just me, but this has been bothering me quite a bit. How crude humour seems to have become, and everyday morals seem to have degraded to the point of: As long as it makes you feel good, its fine. Now of course, there are still laws and such, the people here aren't stupid enough to disobey those for now (Wait a second...). Actually, I just lied, there's been a fair amount of that, there have been numerous instances where I've caught other students (this time actually in my year or higher thank goodness) smuggling beer and drugs (Which they have been selling, so i really doubt they're medicinal) into the school. There's been plenty of grafitti all over the place (Though I'm not so sure if that's strictly against the laws, moreso just school rules), and I've had myself been blackmailed a couple of times. (Ironically enough I'm a surprisingly good theif so I've been able to steal back the stuff without them noticing).

Just to make this perfectly clear, this is a PRIVATE high school, and honestly I'm very worried about our generations future. (I haven't reported or told anyone about these incidents until now, wouldn't want people getting expelled. So I've been really needing to get this stuff off my shoulders. Just because i didn't tell anyone dosen't mean I haven't done anything about it mind you. Those people I've caught are well aware that i know what they were doing, for their sakes I've disposed of the evidence, though i don't think they quite expected it to end up buried underneath a ton of garbade.)

Heya Everypony, I just realised that you guys can draw, and I can't. So if you guys have spare time or something. It would be awesome if you could draw my OC. For some guidelines I made her in a pony creator. Cyanside (My OC) has a split personality that physically changes her appearance when she changes into her other personality (Shadow). Cyanside's Cutie Mark is the black part of the yin-yang symbol, whereas Shadow's is the white half of it.

Cyanside:

Shadow:

So I was thinking that maybe Caberea wasn't as lazy as he, I, Shadow, and everypony else thought. But then i realised that it's likely an entirely different kind of laziness. You see, Caberea's been going through the forums all day trying to figure out what time most people get on the RP section relative to him so that he can stay up till then/wake up at that time. Personally I think it's just another way that he's trying to procrastinate actually doing homework. What do you think?

Heya there Everypony, my names Cyanside and today I'm going to be taking over for Caberea because he's too lazy to write anything here today (That, and He's still in shock that he was able to come up with an OC as "Awesome" as me). Expect to see me about the RP'ing section of the site since that's all Caberea ever seems to be interested in, though he should really set aside at least some time to do his homework.

Hey, just cause I'm not writing the blog dosen't mean you get to talk behind my back.

So anyway, I was "Created" today while Caberea was at school, he was supposed to be doing work but...

What did i just say?

...Was instead on the Everypony RP section. So a bit about myself. As I've already said my name is Cyanside, I'm a female pegasus that's about hmm...I'd say fifteen, not really sure though. I've got blue eyes, a white coat, and my mane is light blue with a purple streak on it. You're probably wondering what all of these bold words are doing. Here's how things are going to be working around here now.

You can't tell me how my blog works.

Stuff that Caberea says is written normally, like the interruption above.

It's not an interruption, It is a statement.

Stuff which i say is written in bold, like this sentence

I can see where you're going with this Cyan, don't you dare go dragging me into this

And stuff that Shadow says is written in Italics, like that just then. Who's Shadow you ask? Well she's sorta like a Sister to me in a way. You see...

Cyanside is a pony with another personality known as Shadow. It is unknown what causes the change of personality between Cyanside and Shadow but when it occurs Cyanside's body changes, her mane becoming a dark purple with light blue streaks and her coat changing from white to black. Her cutie mark (Which she forgot to mention) is the black half of the yin-yang symbol, but it changes to its white counterpart when her personality shifts to Shadow.

Can't you freaking let her do this for a minute without interrupting her. Besides, aren't you too busy failing to catch up with your homework be doing this?

Fine, have it your way then.

C'mon Shadow, he isn't that bad. He's just horrible at time managment, Maths, procrastination, maths, oh and tennis.

I get the picture already!

So anyway, hope to be seeing there people here around, if you have any question for Me, Shadow, Or Caberea, just drop them in the comments below and we will try to get around to answering them sometime. See ya.

Heya Everypony. So you may have noticed that I haven't been active on any site in any way whatsoever. Well that's been because I've been...I have no idea what I've been doing, I'm too tired to think.

Wait, I remember what it was now. It was the reason the I'm tired too, I've been busy cowering in fear after having played Slender. The worst part is that after having played through the whole thing, I realised that I'd forgotten to record it. That mean's I've got to go back and play it again, and make sure to record this time, but I'm already too godamn scared of that game to freaking sleep.

As if that weren't bad enough, I've got school tomorrow, and in my current state i'm worried that i'm going to see a teacher standing about somewhere and instantly mistake them for Slenderman.

...Also, I'm rather aware of the fact that I should probably stop playing games like that if i get so scared of them. But I have this strange urge to keep on playing them, and if you're me its impossible to ignore stuff like that.

Okay, so today I finished putting together my third proper PMV, this time using the song Glory, by Hollywood Undead. Only problem was, as I went to save it, Windows Live Movie Maker (the program I've used to upload all of the videos on my channel, and make the PMV's) killed itself.

So now I need a new program, It dosen't need to be anything spectacular, just needs to have at least the editing abilities of Windows Live Movie Maker, and be able to upload, but above all it has to be free. I'm pretty much broke so I have to make do with what i can get.

So any recommendations? I'm really desperate here.

So yeah, that Nightmare PMV that I did ages ago i finally got around to uploading, and then forgot to write about it on here. So here it is. Any feedback would be much appreciated. This one is of Nightmare Moon, with the song Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold.

So for those of you who've been watching my youtube channel lately, you'll know that I switched to recording with a free version of Bandicam. It was the best recording program i could find that had free trial recordings (and i mean of decent length, unlike fraps), so I asked my father if we could get it (offering to pay for it with the small amount of money i have left).

He says that he'll check it out and about a week later i get this response.

Dad: "I checked out Bandicam and i really don't trust the site."
Me: "Why?"
Dad: "Well the english on it isn't very good, I think the people who make it are Chinese, and i don't recognize the things that recommend it."
Me: "Well if they're Chinese, wouldn't it make sense that you can't recognize the sites, and It's pretty hard to get a second language perfect."
Dad: "Yeah, but I wouldn't count on something Chinese to be squeaky clean. The site felt dirty and it probably has a ton of viruses"
Me: "I've already downloaded the free version, which contains the entire file and all the payment does is unlock the rest of the file, and I've already checked the file for viruses and it's perfectly fine."
Dad: "I wouldn't trust a site like that, you know how the Chinese are."
Me: *Stares Blankly*
Dad: "Try and find another program"
END OF CONVERSATION

So the problem I'm faced with here is really more about how I felt about confronting this, I've already found a different program which he's agreed to get (He seemed to very quickly agree to it once he saw the sites English). The way I'm looking at it I had three options.
1. Side with Dad and agree that Chinese people are untrustworthy (And be far too Racist for my liking)
2. Accuse Dad of racism and end up arguing for half an hour about the Chinese (And likely end up losing the argument, along with wasting both of our time)
3. Keep silent (As i did, and now end up wondering if i shouldn't have gone with option 2)

So what are you're thoughts on this? I know it's a kinda touchy subject, which is probably the reason that I'm feeling so torn between my decision.

So I decided to play some custom stories in Amnesia as preperation for the actual game. Now I'm having to play Through the Fire and the Flames to calm down and have developed an irrational fear that Fluttershy is going to kill me. That's right, the custom story I played was The Small Horse.

I did this all for you (and because some crazy part of my brain wants me to lose my mind) so why not check them out. (Only the first one can be embeded, but make sure to check out the others too)

Someone, go tell EQD, cause Caberea's finally done something pony on youtube. Basically thanks to all of Seth's posts on EQD which had Avenged Sevenfold lyrics with them, I decided to make a Pony Music Video of Avenged Sevenfold's welcome to the family, based around Chrysalis.

This is my second attempt at a PMV, and my first attempt at an entire song. You can find it here: http://youtu.be/rRDdSwXYntw. Please like it if you liked it, and leave any feedback you have.

Okay, so todays post is going to be a bit more serious, and a bit more personal about me.

You see, I've been a Brony for about a year now i think, and throughout that time you would think that at least with the people around me they would have come to accept that. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Everyday that i go to school ends up being a day of harrasement and irritance. It dosen't help things much when even your friends wont help you when it comes to MLP.

So here's a rundown of my position at my school. I consitiently get either A's or high B's, I'm the only person in my year level that seems to like any music other than Rap, Dubstep, or Dance (Though there is someone who seems to like nothing but PoP). I currently seem to have angered the entirity of the year 8's for looking like someone else, and do you honestly know how hard it is trying to convince teachers that you are being harrased by children? (Cause it's bloody impossible). On top of all that, I'm one of only two Bronies in my year level (with about 7 across the whole school with me and him included), and he became a Brony after i eventually got him to join the herd.

So the last part dosen't sound to bad, I've managed to get someone to finally watch the show and they liked it. The problem is that the school seems to be very divided on the whole topic of bronies. Either you're with them, or against them. If ever one of my friends interjects to defend me from the accusations of "Pony*squee!*", or the less sensical "Pedophile", they find themselves the target of said accusations for the rest of the day. So they no longer actively defend me, but they encourage me where they can, and have said "Though I don't understand it, I respect what you're doing". So they've at least been there to support me where they can.

Where it's harder is at home, where what the parents say goes. The teachers at my school are open-minded enough that they haven't critiscised me for it first thing (In fact I've even had the entire english faculty read my fanfic, My Little Dashie, and my current english teacher has been checking out my stories on fimfiction). The home is an entirely different battlefield.

Let's just say that my mother isn't the most open minded of people, though the thinks of herself as being so and says that she hates people who aren't. The only problem is that my mother's definition of "Open Minded" translates in the english language to "Christian". So basically the first thing she said when i told her that i was a brony was "Does the show support christian beliefs?". I don't know what i was thinking, but the Applejack in my came out and i had to say "No."

Now hear me out here, MLP DOES NOT promote Christian beliefs, but it DOES promote Christian values. Sharing, Kindness, Friendship, all of these are good things that christianity promotes as well. The problem is that my mother dosen't quite see it like that. Rather she see's MLP as a cult that is trying to steal my soul away from christian teachings by having similar values.

So basically in order to be allowed to watch the show I've been previously trying to convince her that the shows values coincide with christian values. However, this has brought me to having to discuss something a bit further with her. The point of religions. She see's religions as something you believe in and worship and I'm not too sure on the whole details of it. I however, see religion as a way of defining who we want to be, the religion we choose reflects on the kind of person that we want to be, and so we use that to strive towards becoming that person.

Now here's the part where my mother's worry most likely lies. Basically, i don't want to be a christian, as I'm not really a fan of believing in creation or resurrection or whatever. I don't really want any religion, because I'm fine with the way i am, and whatever afterlife or whatever follows, i feel that being myself will be the best I can do till that happens. So yes, in a way the show is taking me away from christianity, as i don't really feel that I need to find happiness in worship anymore. Instead I just find my happiness in helping others, and being with friends, and just having fun in general.

So what are your thoughts on the purpose of religions, values, and any ways I could possibly solve this problem?
