I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@Kuroi: When the 4DE Luna comes out, I'll be very hard pressed not to buy it.

but apparently I've spent between 200 and 300 bucks on junk food over the last month. I need to stop spending ANY money besides gas and student loan payments.

You have to spend some money on food though don't you? You can get food more cheaply from a grocery store, but it still costs money.

I spend about 30-60 bucks a week on groceries, and that's usually enough to get me through, though I tend to give myself a 20 dollar emergency food budget as well. Since skimping on food sucks the big one.

Just like real ponies! Ba-dum-tish.

I've always wondered why people like horses in real life. They're really smelly.

Story- that's the problem though. I still live at home. Mom buys all the real food (though once in a while I'll buy some mixed nuts instead of absolute crap). I'm just buying snacks because I have money and junk food is tasty. And it has to stop because it's killing my budget and it'll start affecting my health if I'm not careful.

Making minimum wage, rounded down to 8 bucks after taxes (because I don't have a clue what the real amount is), averaging 21 hours per week, my income is 672 dollars per month. I spend 255 per month on loan payments, and about 80 on gas (probably less during the summer because my brother is home and he'll pay for gas half the time). That leaves me with 337 bucks of actual income.

And I am spending almost all of it on crap.

I think real life horses are cute, but do agree that the smell is pretty off-putting. Granted, it's a general barnyard smell, so I think people who are just used to dealing with animals eventually stop noticing it, therefore making it a non-factor.

Yeah, you definitely need to stop spending so much on junk food. Habits are hard to break though. I'd suggest trying to avoid the places where you usually buy junk food until you get out of the habit.

P.S. Been listening to the Otomedius Excellent soundtrack. It's pretty nice, though some songs are too repetitive.

Cutting down isn't easy, definitely. But if you're eating that much, then yeah, you'd better nip that in the bud.

Another good cost saving measure is to always get water (tap, not bottled of course) when eating out. Plus it's healthier.

Helps if you know your Konami shooters as it's a girlier parody/homage to pretty much all shooters they've made with music to match. Also Kokoro Bellmont's from Castlevania though she's an original character.

I looked it up on Wikipedia, and that's pretty much what it said.

I buy most of my junk food at work.

Yeah.

But, now that I have some perspective on it, I think it'll be an easy fix. "Holy shit, I am throwing all my money away on this garbage" is a good reason to not buy garbage.

Wait, did you actually mean Lard Helix? What is he, the god-pokemon of margarine?

This is actually an awesome run. The entire pantheon reaming up to take down Bill.
