Ahhh...my friend can't make it out...his
girlfriend wants him home tonight!

Ah well, I'll thank him by destroying his liver next week!
About the CM debate.....I do feel that a CM is like a constant reminder of what a pony is fundamentally about...but how it's interpertated can be subjected to change. Somebody mentioned that Twilight's CM was about
potential...first realising her own, then perhaps moving into helping others realise theirs (as a teacher/tutor). That's
exactly what I feel
C Ms represent. And Twi's CM is also a symbol of magic...which is equal to friendship in this world...so maybe in the future Twi will do something related to friendship...whatever the hell that means.
Oh, and by the way...I full heartily excuse all of Twi's actions during Lesson Zero, and I really feel for that little pony even more so, because I experienced first hand the fear she must have felt this week myself...and it was
terrifying.
I also realised why my own CM (if I had one) would be the Imperial Eagle of Warhammer 40, 000. Because no matter what I try...or what I do...that game has
always been a part of me since I was 9 years old, and I hope to pursue a career involving it somehow (I've written Codexes, built game boards, won tournaments, created short fics...if there's one thing I can do well without question, it's 40k). 90% of my friends I meet through the game, and setting down to do something Imperial Guard related
always sets me right.
Remembering all of this helped me regain my composure during my mild panic attack...as no colleage degree is required to persue a career there. It makes me feel like I always have a place in this world...and while I may not be reaching my full potential going there...it would make me happy and content with life. Whatever your '40k' is...is your CM I think.
Sorry for this little rant, but I just felt like sharing it.
