    Graduate School

    In the fall, I'm entering graduate school for a Master's degree. I'm going to be studying amblypygid, or whip spider, navigation, combining the three fields of computational biology, behavioral ecology, and neurobiology. It's going to be new and a little intimidating. Since you guys have been...

    Equinni: The tale of the horse

    I've been pretty busy this semester. Any sort of creative writing, for the most part, has taken a back seat to all the lab reports and other scientific writings I've had to do. However, for my last elective, I took an online mythology class. Yes, more writing, I know, but for one assignment, I...

    Avatar: The Legend of Korra--Book Three: Changes

    Here we are, Avatards! Recently, the third season (Book Three: Changes) premiered. I thought the first three episodes were awesome. It was a trip back to the adventuring episodes of the first series, with less angst and more fun mixed with the conspiracy and danger we've come to love in the...

    Magic: The Gathering

    Since June of 2012, I've been into Magic: The Gathering. That is a trading card game where players act as 'planewalkers,' or beings that can traverse different planes of existence with the ability to summon different creatures and effects to perform combat. It all started at ColossalCon 2012...

    A Pokecharms Meetup

    I was thinking, that with my greater freedom this summer than the last few ones, that perhaps a Charmsian meetup would be lots of fun. However, for a bit of safety, we could meet up at a public area with a previous intention, like at a con or something like that. I'm going to ColossalCon 2013...

    Summer Plans

    Hello, everyone! Yes, I know it's been a while since I've been on, but I've been very busy with college. However, this summer, I've got an awesome job/internship/research position. I get to work at a fricking zoo! At the Toledo Zoo, due to the help of a summer research program at my college, I...

    Fillies and Colts Weekend

    As many of you have noticed, I have been gone lately. Well, (in backwards order) I have been all over the US for vacation recently, been working,had finals, and just generally not had much time to be on. However, I am coming back with a boom with a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-based story...

    Common Gaming Physical (as in person) Issues and Their Fixes

    Hi, I just wanted to make a topic about the more physical issues of gaming. For example, my common issue is sweaty hands making the controller slip out. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Should I mod the Wiimote slightly (i.e., grip tape) or switch hands more often? This isn't a bad Q and A...

    My Little Pony RP

    I was thinking of starting a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP set somewhere in Equestria using our pony personas. I just wanted to gauge the interest before I start it. I plan on the plot being participant organized to do something normal or extreme, like the Cupcakes fanfic. Just to make...

    Regional Differences in Fast Food Menus

    I know this is kind of random, but I've read on Wikipedia that (for example) McDonald's has different menu items depending on the region, like McLobster in Maine and lamb burgers in India. Seeing how this site has members from all over the US and the rest of the world, I would like to hear your...

    Secad's Colored Pencil Extravaganza! Now With Ponies!

    Yep, another art thread. However, since I have a better mastery of the colored pencil versus most computerized art mediums, I will make my posts more common. Nevertheless, since my scanner isn't set up and I have no idea how to do it, I use my new webcam on my new laptop to take pictures. The...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Well, it seems like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a hit show on the internet. It has a larger peripheral demographic of young adult and adult males, called bronies. Fans in general are called bronies, but the 'bro' part seems to refer to these men. This show is about a unicorn pony...

    Wisdom Teeth, and Teeth in General

    My wisdom teeth have been poking bit by bit through my gums now for the past six months or so. Now, I can feel a good chunk of one's side, and the top of another. However, since they are probably going to come in impacted, I'm going to have to get them removed. I know this is fairly common...

    Secad's Project Poetry

    Well, I'm taking a 4-H project--Creative Writing, to be exact. In this, I have to write poetry of various formats to complete the objectives. I wish to share what I have so far. It is not my best, but it is decent. I've already posted the story I wrote, but I renamed it "Even Gerbils Must Cope."...

    Graduations

    Yep, I'm graduating from high school today. I'm valedictorian, too, so I have to give a speech. XD Here's the awesome thing--the conclusion is the lyrics from the first Pokemon theme song. It's also weird--I'll have to make up new routines for the next few years of my life, as my K-12 education...

    Black City

    Well, I have recently started trading on the GTS, as I have bred a ton of spare Darumaka trying to get the Dream World ability. In addition, I have started this trading this week. However, when I went to Black City for the first time this month, most of the buildings were gone! The market was...

    Tornadus is Twisted

    Well, I have finally decided to relent and catch Tornadus. Because of this, I can have a choice of nature and such. I am not experienced with Gen V legendaries yet, so I would like an idea for a good competitive moveset. I am thinking that a sweeper would be nice.

    Serperior Starter Planning

    Martial Arts

    Well, tomorrow I am going up for my black belt test in kenpo style karate and ju-jitsu. In addition, I have read here before that other Charmsians are also experienced in martial arts. I'm curious--what do you guys have to say about martial arts, and if you are a black belt, how was your test?

    How to Train Your Dragon

    Last night, I saw 'How to Train Your Dragon' (on DVD) for the first time. It was amazing! The animation was excellent, the characters were decently developed, and the dragon hive thing was unexpected. For the first time ever, I have to say the movie was way better than the original book. I read...
