Where you at? Light up the comment section fam! (I'm taking lessons on how to talk like a cool person, how am I doing? My ultimate goal is to infiltrate their herd and assimilate without them noticing that I'm a nerd! Then I can study them from the inside and learn their ways like Jane Goodall! My research will be invaluable to scientists (who are also nerds)! maybe one day, we'll even stop getting picked on! I know that's a long way off, but I can dream...) SOOO, how was your summer? Still going? Good, mine too. I refuse to accept that summer is ending. You can live in your glass-half-empty world if you want to, but you can't tell me what to believe! Everyone has their own truths and my truth is that summer is still here, so HA! Anyway, I just got back from Sioux Falls, South Dakota a few days ago and man was that surreal! I lived there for many years growing up, but our family moved when I was 16, so I hadn't been back for 11 years! The crazy thing was, it all looked the same... Like, nothing had changed. Very weird for me to see as my scenery has changed pretty much non-stop since I graduated High School. A cool experience though, I'm glad I went! Oh, hey! Have you heard the new song that 4everfreebrony and I did together? Here it is if you haven't heard it yet:    • 4everfreebrony - Silhouette (feat. Black G...   Also, I discovered a way to enhance my underwater vision so that it's three times better than it was! See?   / 907080450115375104   It's been an eventful month! Well, I guess that's it for now. I'll let you know if I think of anything else.
