>"It's Christmas tomorrow Anon! If you're not spending much time at your home... alone... m-maybe drop by my house sometime? I'm sure Vinyl will be away, and sadly, I have nowhere to play".This year is probably the least Christmassy I have ever felt. In my social state, I'm not sure if that's good or bad. How do you feel /mlp/? You doing anything special tomorrow?
>>25864185
>"...Yeah, alright."
>>25864185
My parents and I are going to my sister and her husband's house on Christmas Day.
>>25864185
I havn't seen an Octavia story in a while.
Probably spending it alone with some bottles of Whiskey I have lying around. Might go see what my mates are doing.
>>25864185
Christmas is on friday
>>25864185
Always do massive family thing. Should be good. Was out the country till yesterday so the date kind of sneaked up on me. I'll raise a glass to lonely horsefuckers though.
>>25864231
>Australia
You arn't the only time-zone.
>>25864185
>This year is probably the least Christmassy I have ever felt.
Right there with you fampai. I'll be spending it with family like usual, but something seems off this time around. Don't know what.
>>25864379
You'rejust getting olderAnon.
>>25864272
>being australian
I might write a section of green after if anyone is interested. Keep thread bumped if you want.
>>25864185
]I just pretend Christmas isn't a thing and just let it pass.
>>25864185
I feel similarly. I'm just feeling less in general the older I get. It seems that I get the most emotion out of remembering times when I was a kid.
>>25865528
I can't because family, but I won't be around with them forever and one of the things I'm looking forward to is NOT having to do Christmas. Decorations are tacky, the whole thing is cheesy and commercialised beyond reason. I cannot wait until it is no longer mandatory for me to take part in it.
Green when?
>>25864379
I think I know what you mean
I'm in fucking San Antonio
Grew up in Maryland so I was used to getting snow around Christmas.
>>25864185
Hey, Anon? Why don't we make a deal, hmm? You get cozy, put on the fireplace, and maybe a little lounge music, okay? In return, I want you to remember that you're loved. You're a good guy, Anon. I'd offer you to sit on my lap, but, well...I'm on the internet. But hey! Why don't you tell Santa Claus what you want for Christmas?
>it's a blogger thinks /mlp/ is his support group episode
>>25866703
...Not OP, but I want a girlfriend for Christmas. One with hooves. You know what I mean Santa?
>>25864185
I tried killing myself last year...nobody cared lol
You fags made me feel more christmasy than ever now/)
Writing Green guys. Give me a few minutes. Only going to be a few posts today, got a few things I'm doing for Christmas tomorrow. Sorry if what I post is a bit shit.
>>25866744
>"It Ain't Me" starts playing
>>25864185
>>25866413I'm going to set this in the EqG world, simply easier to write. Sorry hoove-fans.
>You are, well, Anon. Because honestly, who else would you be?
>You are currently at the park, enjoying a refreshing day before the known Christmas arrives
>You also have your good friend Octavia by your side, electing it would be a good day out to spend with each other
>And, well, she's not wrong
"Damn, you chose a good day to head out. I would've thought that you would be practicing all day."
>"About that Anon. I haven't really been preparing for anything"
"Why? Are you not doing songs for the CHS?"
>Christmas parties at CHS were known to be quite a thing, including it's events that take place within.
>Dancing, Games, Drinking
>You weren't really fond of events like these, to which you decided to enclose yourself within your home every year.
>In this case, you would expect Octavia to be playing music, much like her other friends.
>"Well, it happens that I am not wanting to perform this year. I found it to be quite, boring..."
>Sitting down on a nearby bench, you continue the conversation.
"I always thought you were fond of these things. You seemed to like playing for the School."
>"I AM a fond musician, I just can't help that I feel like that is all I'm seen as. Just a musician..."
>You understand. She is popular within CHS, but only for her music.
"What about Vinyl, is she going?"
>"Of course she is. They are more into her music than my own."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I prefer your music over her's any day of the week"
>It's true, sometimes Vinyl's music was just too ear-shattering. You sometimes wonder why these two are friends with such different tastes.
>Looking back over you can see a blush form on her face
>"T-thanks, Anon. You are a good friend"
>For the years you have known her, you've treated her as your own Sister at times. You two got along good.
"No worries, Tavi. I'd listen to you anytime."
>>25864185
This is my first tine in 5 years I haven't worked a double for Christmas eve and day. I honestly don't know what to do, so I'm treating it like my day off.
>>25864185
I'm living in a different country this year and it's on the equator so no snow. I know it's Christmas Eve but it just doesn't feel like Christmas time for some reason. I'm spending Christmas Day with my friend's family but it doesn't feel right. Kinda bummed. Might go out for sushi on Boxing day though.
>Back to her normal, bright mood, she looks back up to you.
>"It's Christmas tomorrow Anon! If you're not spending much time at your home... alone... m-maybe drop by my house sometime?"
>And that wonderful shade of red returns
>"but of course, if you don't want to..."
>Octavia always knew about your lonely days of Christmas, not that it bothered you either way, but company this year wouldn't be too bad of a change.
"Are you sure about this Tavi? I'm fine on my own, you know that."
>"Of course. I would rather spend it with a friend than be alone"
"I guess it's a go then."
>And again, that smile is replaced back upon her face.
>Something that always made you happy, her being happy.
>You were actually looking forward to it now. A day alone with your best (And only) real friend.
>Once the talk finished, you realised the time was getting late
"Hey, its getting kinda late don't you think? We've been here for 3 hours prior to our talk."
>Octavia jerks up
>"3 hours?! I was supposed to meet up with Vinyl half an hour ago!"
>It was not common for Octavia to be late for things, so this took her by an unexpected surprise.
"Well, you better get to it then"
>"Yesyesyes, GoodbyeAndSeeYouTomorrow!"
>And just like that she was gone
>Leaving you with a day to look forward too
>Even if it did exclude Whiskey drinking by yourself
Again, sorry for the short posts. Just a little taste to see it it's worth reading. This is basically my first green to of written, so if you want me to stop, let me know.
If the thread is still alive later, I might find some more time to write. If not, I'll post more tomorrow, if Christmas doesn't decide to have an unexpected schedule for me.

[Scene: Patrick Bateman's apartment. Anonymous and /mlp/-tan are playing Yahtzee. Tracy is in the back, moving from the bathroom to behind the kitchen counter with bags of a strange substance, implied to be gore.]
Anon: (after rolling dice, he jumps up) YAHTZEE!
/mlp/: No, Anon, you got two pairs of two and four, and there's also a one.
Anon: Look, in Egypt, it's a Yahtzee. I wasn't kidding about being a Yahtzee world champ.
/mlp/: (silence for three seconds) Same way you made a portal to Equestria?
Anon: Look, you living yeast infection, if Tracy didn't cut the ro-
Tracy: DON'T CALL ME WHEN I'M WORKING!
Anon//mlp/: Sorry.
/mlp/: Jesus, how did this even happen?
Anon: You were there, you know. You literally shot the guy.
/mlp/: Hey, you snapped that guy's neck, don't act like you're innocent.
Anon: I am! He accused me first! That motherfucker would've found a way to say I killed that hooker.
/mlp/: You said you swore off 3D.
Anon: Look, she said she'd wear fake hooves. More importantly, while we're providing exposition on what happened thirty minutes ago, why did you kill her to begin with?!
/mlp/: I thought it was a Mafia goon!
Anon: Whose plate of spaghetti did you spit in, Em?
Tracy: She tried to jack off Luigi's horse.
Anon: The guy that owns that Italian restaurant?
Tracy: No, he's the manager for the IHOP near my place.
Anon: Fuck that guy. Was it worth it, Em?
/mlp/: THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME.
Anon: BUT DID YOU HAVE FUN?!
[another Anon busts down the door, wearing a nametag with a name that is never shown.]
Anon 2: WHO SAID FUN?! NO FUN ALLOWED, THAT'S TWENTY PERCENT LAMER!
Anon 1: (slides all the Yahtzee stuff into the box) Good game Em, glad I won.
/mlp/: Oh fuck you.
Tracy: If that's just an autist, scare him off, I don't need another faggot trying to shag me.
Anon 2: HEY THAT'S NOT COOL! God, that really hurts my feelings.
[Anon 2 sees /mlp/-tan]
Anon 2: Are...are you a pegasister?
/mlp/: Oh, it's bleach o'clock!
>>25867612
>>25867801
Pretty good anon. Moar
>>25867801
I like it, anon. Continue when you can.
Have a good day tomorrow.
It's nearly fuckin Christmas and and 71 Fahrenheit at 1:12 am.
>songs about snow
>wearing sweaters
>>25867928Jesus I am NOT double spacing this time. This manuscript I'm copying looks better on paper.
Anon 2: Look, I'm not judging. I'm a HUGE brony, and I love and tolerate everyone, regardless of gender.
Tracy: Next line WILL include a m'lady or two.
/mlp/: Tracy, do NOT jinx this or I'm calling Woot to give you that edgy reboot.
Tracy: Do it, faggot.
Anon 2: Who are you talking to m'la-
Tracy: HEY-O!
/mlp/: When I say edgy, I mean Gen 3.5 style!
Tracy: You're getting that bleach, bitch.
/mlp/: Thank god.
Anon 2: ...So, m'lady.
[Tracy's hysterical laughter begins, lasts for thirty seconds, give or take five]
Anon 2: I really, really need to talk about how I'm so hurt.
/mlp/: Yeah! Do it at Reddit! Wherever the fuck they went!
Anon 2: That's the thing, they said I was kicked out.
/mlp/: Jesus christ, how do you get banned from fucking reddit?
Anon 2: I don't want to talk about it, but it all-
/mlp/: Shut the fuck up.
Anon 2: Hey, that's not cool! I really need a place to discuss how DAMAGED everyone here is with their rude mindset! I feel so attacked right now!
/mlp/: You sure you aren't from Tumblr?
Anon 2: Hey, no-
[Anon 2 gets a fire axe in the back of his head. Anon 1 did it, and is holding a bottle of bleach with his free hand. Anon 2 falls. Tracy is seen in the background watching the murder, and walks back to the bathroom. There is clearly something dripping from her pussy, while Anon 1 just stares at the body and slowly looks up.]

>>25867999
It's pretty surreal to be walking around a mall listening to Christmas music and then to step outside where it's 77F.
This is the first time in my life that I actually enjoy malls though, because the Christmas decorations seem to be universal no matter what country you're in.
I might as well be in a mall back home.
The only thing I want for christmas is a qt mare to cuddle with and I know I won't be getting that. Otherwise though, things have been pretty good lately.
>>25868133
Where are you from, Anon? Where are you now?
>>25868441
I'm from Canada, but I'm studying in Singapore at the moment.
It's going to be my first green Christmas this year.
It's on the equator so it's pretty much tropical all the time.
Normally it's great but Christmas is a time for snow, at least for me.
>>25866449
Ayy, I have a friend who moved there too
>>25868590
Nice to know another guy in Singapore. Born and bred in Singapore, but I'm in Hong Kong. If you need any help with all things Singaporean, I can provide some.
Mother of all keks.
>>25864185
Nah, I got a bottle of Jager waiting for me. I'll see ya next week.
um, octavia? May I hear you play beethoven's moonlight sonata? I'm sure you give him a run for his money in the way you can play it!
>>25869745
Ain't that for plano? Or an arrangement for solo cello, I guess.
>>25869764
Yes, it's for piano, but I think that 'tavi has the skills to play piano as well :)
>>25869250
Hong Kong is on my ever-growing list of places to see while I'm here.
Here's a question, what's your favourite place to get chicken rice in Singapore?
It's my favourite food here and I'm always looking for a good hawker stall haha.
>>25869789
Ah, that one extremely subjective question that all of Singapore would cause a civil war over the answer.
Now, I'm not a foodie by any stretch of the imagination, but the best chicken rice I've tasted is at Maxwell centre, the Tian Tian stall.
I'd like to add a few places where I think the food is excellent: Adam Road food centre (just 5 minutes' walk away from Botanic Gardens Station) does have excellent nasi lemak, satay, and if I recall correctly, carrot cake. There's also Changi food village/East Coast food centre (somewhere in East Coast Park, veeery popular especially for late night suppers) where's there's excellent buffalo wings, satay, oyster omelette, stingray, and other delicacies.
Further southwest [?] is Boon Keng food centre - Chee cheong fun, carrot cake is all I can remember.
Now, for roti prata, Casuarina curry at Thomson Road (nearest MRT at Marymount or Yio Chu Kang). I live in the area, but I don't know the route from YCK. From Marymount, you'll have to walk for about 5 minutes to a bus stop on Thomson Road (bus code 53021/53041), then most buses stop there.
There's also the prata place at Springleaf, and taking buses 167, 169, 980 from the above bus stop will take you there.
If I'm correct, you're studying at NUS or NTU? I don't live in the West, and rarely go there, so I can't really give you good food thereabouts.
Hope this helps! Any other (not so difficult) questions?
My new carbon fibre bow arrived . . . sooo . . . maybe?
>>25864185
>Tomorrow
>Not today
Is this really only a thing back in my country to celebrate on 24th?
>>25869787
I don't think there's canon evidence for that, but it could very well be true, us classical musicians often learn more than one instrument. I'm learning the violin after achieving a reasonable level in piano, might be starting the fife or even bagpipes once I finally can play Ysaye's sonatas.
>>25870115
no, it isn't canon. I wish I had someone who would mentor me to just play SOME instrument.
I have a guitar and an electric piano but I can't play either one past a few notes.
>>25870132
You'll need a teacher to improve the fastest, I'd mentor you for a bit on the piano but I doubt we're in the same country (Singapore). Though, since we're on the topic anyway, what are you working right now?

>>25868170
I'm heading out to the movies with this girl I met at a part on the 27th. Maybe I could score a light-hearted cuddle with her if I try hard enough.I'm also "Actual Dance Anon" from the Homecoming threads, if anyone knows of my problems.
>>25869470
This is now in my reaction folder.
>>25870009
Not bad Anon. Have fun.
Expect some small green in around 12 hours. Currently 1:30 in the morning for us Ausfags. Hope you guys are going to have a good Christmas this year:)In terms of the story, would thou prefer lewd content? I plan on it being a cute story, but if you prefer to have a more *ahem* 'Sexual' ending, then say otherwise
Keep thread bumped. Hope you guys have an awesome day. And remember;We may hate each other, but by doing so, we will always be therr for another Anon in times of need.
>>25870572
How about a warm fuzzy ending?
>>25870583
If that is what you wish.
>>25870590
This pleases me.
>>25867720
For a strange reason it's same here in Europe. No snow, it looks more like begining of spring. I'm also not in christmas mood.
>>25867999
I as southern Finlandian snownigger am disappointed too. Its like +1 degrees celsius, no snow, dark as all hell.
At least parents and brother liked my presents.
>>25870102
Finland?
>>25864185
Possibly visiting my dads house sadly, he's a dick.
>>25870583
I second this.
>>25867928
>>25868024
Anon, where did you get this?Did you make this?
I need more, but not at the expense of whatever is happening in this thread.
>>25869910
Thanks for the awesome answer!
I've heard good things about Maxwell before so I'll have to add all those places to my to-eat list.
I'm studying at NTU this year and I agree the west is pretty bare.
I have found some nice prata and stingray out here though haha.
I've been having lots of fun and the culture difference hasn't been that jarring.
How are you finding Hong Kong?
What I love about Singapore is that you can experience Asia without a significant language barrier (as I only speak English).
Also, Merry Christmas, guys!
The lack of chavtavia here disgust me.
>>25870722
Nah, but we have access to Baltic sea too.

>>25871475
For a former British colony, Hong Kong's still focused on Cantonese. Most signs have an English translation though, so it's fine for me - my Chinese is weak anyway.
I was at a one day exchange with one of the top schools two years ago, and the students there prefer to speak English over Chinese. Kinda weird, but still alright in my books.
Food's a nice change though, even though there's just so much food back home.
You'll find that even though Singapore seems nice, we Singaporeans love to complain about anything and everything in general.
Aye, that's kinda due to Singapore once being a British entrepôt. English's our lingua franca, but we usually speak another language. Where you from, anon, and what are you majoring in?
>>25874580
>Command and Conquer

Loved the first games. Too bad EA had to fuck such a brilliant franchise up. Had great potential.Although, Renegade X kept me entertained while is lasted.

Anybody lurking?
Pastebin is up for those who want it.
Or if the thread dies before I finish it.

Anons, why do you want Octavia to be with you this Hearth's Warming?
>>25875647
Sorry it's been taking so long to answer, I've had Christmas dinners and stuff.
That is pretty funny they prefer English, I'm sure it will be useful for me haha.
I've noticed complaining is a sort of national pastime here, but I'm from Canada and it's not too different there I suppose. Have you ever been?
I'm majoring in English literature, how about you? I really admire how so many people here can speak two or even three languages.
All I have is English and a bit of French.
Hope you had a good day today, Merry Christmas!
>>25880572
You lucky guy, you.
Nah, never been to Canada.
I'm still in the Army, just took leave for a few days to go overseas. Once I'm done, I'll be majoring in mathematics.
Yeah, the older generations have a lot of people who can speak Chinese dialects, Malay, and English - pretty impressive.
Ta, mate. Nothing special for Christmas, but I'm hoping I get to do something nice for myself on Hogmanay.
