Okay, so short story prompt for this month is A DAY IN MY LIFE. Write up an excerpt from your characters journal, diary, blog, or whatever detailing any day for them.

It's hard being young - Super Nova

(EU)


It's been a weird day. It started pretty much the same as all of them- I woke up and tried to stretch, but my room has gotten smaller so I couldn't move all that well. That, or I've gotten bigger. Hard to tell which it is. Mom read me a story, we had lunch, and all in all, it was shaping up to be another casual day, not a care in the world. Then out of nowhere, Mom starts freaking out! Next thing I know, I hear all these weird voices talking about my future- I mean, what did I do? Nothing! But everypony kept talking about how I needed to move out and 'see the world' or some nonsense like that. Well, you know how it goes- I got outvoted. So, I had to move out.

Let me tell you, it was no fun. I liked my room. It was cozy, and warm, and had everything I really needed right where I wanted it. Sure, it was pretty spartan, but I'm a girl of simple needs, I guess. I pack light, is what I'm saying. And you know how everypony is always saying how cold the real world can be? Well, they're not kidding! I was more than a little shocked- see, it wasn't just cold physically, but... well let me put it this way. The very first pony I met away from Mom's place shouted at me and smacked my flank for no reason at all! I was so shocked I burst into tears- and then get this! As soon as I did, the same mare that had smacked me got me a whole new wardrobe and a fluffy blanket to keep out the chill! Ponies are so strange sometimes!

But it's not all bad. Mom looks a lot different now, after I've moved out, but she seems pretty happy. And Dad is never far away, and willing to help out with pretty much anything I need- except for food. I don't think he's capable of making the food I like, to be honest. But even still, it's nice to have him around. And of course, my brother is a total sweetheart, even if he lacks any sense of privacy. He's always sticking his nose into my business and trying to drag me along into his wacky schemes. Though, I gotta say, some of them are pretty fun. I liked the one where we dug a big hole, filled it with water, and made a pool! Not that it was a big pool- more like a mudpuddle really. But it was sweet of him to try. He gets excited by every shiny new schemes and sparkly object, it's really cute. And I know he isn't trying to be mean when he persistently pokes around after me. And most of the time I don't mind, I know he's just looking out for me. But a girl needs some space sometimes, you know?

So yeah, that was the jist of how my day went. Pretty crazy, huh? And it's not over just yet- see, I left out a little detail. It's my birthday today! I was hoping for a small party, just me and the family. But I guess Mom had other ideas, because there were all sorts of ponies there, not just Mom, Dad, and my brother. There was a couple dressed in matching white costumes, which was kind of weird since I didn't know it was a costume party. And that lady that gave me a new wardrobe was there, too. So more crowded than I wanted, but still pretty nice. Anyways, I'd better get back to the party- though to be honest, I just want a hot bath, something to eat, and a nice long nap. Until next time!

Nova cooed and wiggled her little hooves in her sleep, as Valence held her in her forearms. "Noir, Noir come look at this. I think she's dreaming," Val said, calling her beloved over so he could see her wiggle her little hooves and make gurgling and cooing noises. "I wonder what she's thinking about?" Val mused. "One of these days, you'll be able to tell me, my sweet little Nova. Happy birthday," Val cooed at her new daughter.

My children insisted I use this thing for chirping. Boreas does not chirp. Boreas cleans, and cleans well. I am too busy for chirping.

Boreas Veskarn @KGBorey
What is chirping used for? What is point of this thing? "Whatever is on mind," daughter tells me. "In 140 characters." Why 140? Whose idea w

Talk about job? Talk about life? What is point? It is like throwing a message in a bottle into an ocean of message bottles. Pointless.

Ok, question- what if the STORY is DiE, but on the chance I win it, I want to use the prize in EU?

Again you specify what RP the slot is going to be for when you post the story. If nothings posted it defaults to the setting the story is in.
