Character Summary: Ashwood mother, Lightfeather is librarian and his father, Steel Pen is historian and archivist. They met as Steel Pen was teaching Equestria history in Manehattan college, Lightfeather being one of his student. He taught her his most precious knowledge, his family writing technique.

Very young Ashwood was already surrounded by books and was fascinated by the stories his parents read him. Most of the ponies at the public library were unicorns and Ashwood soon discovered it was far easier for them to continue studying than for other ponies, considering their magic was of considerable help to handle the quill.

After much practice he succeeded to follow the path of his parents and write by holding a pen nib between his teeth. Demonstrating his talents to Swift Ink, an elderly but renowned unicorn scribe, this one took the decision to make him his pupil so he could perfect the unusual technique his family passed on from generation to generation. Determined to pursue his passion he trained endlessly until the day he finally rivaled his mentor quality and speed of his writing. The feat earned him his cutie mark.

At the moment he works as a scribe and courier for the nobless of Manehattan and takes commands to write articles for various local newspapers. He lives in his own flat and rarely visit his parents as his relations with his father are tense. This one considers Ashwood will to generalize their family writing technique to as many earth ponies and pegasus as possible as a personal treason. He often visits his venerable mentor, this one always being prompt to cheer him up in periods of doubt.

Cherry Coke. I prefer glass bottles and can for sodas but not always available.

If I had a good bathtub... nothing like a bath to relax.

Was writting short novels and the lack of interaction was annoying so I tried RP. Started RP in social games too after a while but it can considerably slow down negociations.

I was never young.

I went there, can't say I was the most insouciant kid. I'm still angry I got spoiled of my childhood.

I got super anxious over internet stuffs recently. Back sweating, tension in the hands, super irregular sleep, lose appetite.

There is so much drama on internet sometimes I feel like I am becoming maniac. I should really stay away of troubled zones

Thanks again for the talk.

I know this place is not social service but... I got a rough time recently and I'd really like to talk with somepony open to listen

I suppose there is a reason for the 3 posts limitation but wouldn't be useful to change it to 1 post in intro section and 3 in Equestrian Welcome so people can post in the Questions & Suggestions section at start to get some informations about the site? Or is it to make the rule simple?

It depends on what you mean by improving your life. Quite frankly when I see most species I fail to realize how anything else than taking care of his health and his morale to improve his life is not very subjective. I'm pretty much convinced most mammals doesn't need more than minimal comfort, distraction and company to be happy with their life, including humans if they ignore the general consensus.

I watch half a dozen of the nine hundred episode of TV shows I keep in advance for times like that.

I did for a long time but at some point the booster price greatly inflated and It led me to gave up on the game.

Snail Maze on master system when you started it without a cartridge.

Seems from what I discussed "Cutie Mark Chronicles" is at the same time one of the most liked and disliked episode

Acknowledged, thanks for the answer.

Is it possible to RP a character with (moderate) drinking problems?

Oh ok, thanks.

Nobody watched "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex"?

Sorry by advance for the approximate english.

Carrots in their honey and butter sauce

Carrots

Bouillon cube

Honey

Butter

Salt, pepper, garlic, mixed herbs

Peel 5 nice carrots a person, rinse them, cut them in thin slices. Boil them in water for 20 minutes with a bouillon cube (don't add the carrots before the water boils). Taste to check the carrots are tender.

Separate carrots from their juice, put a frying pan on your burner (low/moderate temperature). Put a good amount of butter and a few good spoonfuls of honey in the frying pan and blend until the butter is molten. Taste and adjust until you get the desired balance of butter and honey in your sauce depending on your preferences. Add a couple spoonfuls of the carrot cooking juice in the pan and blend again.

Add the carrots in your pan and let them cook 10 minutes in the sauce. When the sauce seems to dry add a little more of the carrots cooking juice and blend. Taste to be sure you got the desired cooking time (carrots have to melt in mouth), add salt, pepper, garlic, mixed herbs and serve accompanied by grilled salmon or roasted chicken or rice and lard.

I don't hide it but nobody really asked so it doesn't need much efforts.

Strangely I am not much stressed IRL but when I have to read my mails or my PM I sometimes feel paralized. I think I'm anxious to be misinterpreted because of the lack of vocal intonation and body language in this kind of communication.

He he that was a short intro.

Sorry for the double post but how do you change the thread icon to a sun or moon?

Hi everypony, I read most good on this site so I decided to take a peek here before deciding if I migrate or not.

I'm 30, have interests in literacy, philosophy, psychology and grunge music. I will probably RP if I don't succomb to an attack of lazyness
