Bye for now...Sorry guys, I had really hoped to be done my work before deployment this year, but it came up so fast...

Well, for those of you who don't know, I recently collaborated with Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom... Duh) on my own rendition of... A mystery song...
I had really hoped to be around for the release, but it looks like I'm gonna miss it by just a few hours...

I'll be at sea until March 22nd, so no download until then unfortunately... (Unless I can get some decent internet and the time to work on youtube upload while underway. For those of you who have served, you probably have a good idea of how likely that is.

)
It is now 0350.
I leave at 0600.
Sorry guys, I really am.

Merry Christmas!Just wanted to wish each and everyone of my friends and followers a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Whatever you may celebrate! And if you don't celebrate anything, then I'm still sending love and hugs to you all!
This year has been full of crazy ups and downs for me, unfortunately more downs than ups - but that happens sometimes. Been going thru a lot of HUGE life changes in the past short while and I want to extend my thanks again to EVERYONE who has supported me throughout all this. It means more than you'll ever know. Here's looking to a brighter new year and to starting over.
I'll be leaving for Christmas vacation tomorrow and won't be back till just after the new year, so again, I wish you all a very happy Christmas and safe New Year. Also, please don't be alarmed if I don't respond to messages right away...I'll be away from the computer for the next week. Besides, this is a time to spend with family and friends and those you care about!
Take care everyone,
Lots of love,
Sabrina

Floored.So I was just going thru a folder on my desktop that contains pretty much every single piece of fan art I've gotten since this whole pony craze began. And I sat back and stopped and realized - holy hell, this is just...amazing. I mean, every time I get something new, I am so flattered at the fact that somebody would want to take their time out to draw something for *me*. It boggles my mind, but I love each and every one of them...regardless of skill level.
I just had a moment where I just felt completely moved with happiness at the thoughtfulness and generosity...and I just wanted to say thank you AGAIN to everyone and anyone who has taken time out of their daily lives to be creative and share that with me. It means the world.
Keep it up

Rumours!Hey everypony!
Lately I keep getting asked the same questions it seems over and over again, so I'm just gunna make a quick journal to "blanket" address some of these concerns.
I know there have been rumours floating around about certain show specific details, and I know people are confused and troubled...but you have to remember that I'm under contract and I'm not allowed to talk about ANY of this stuff. Just like everyone else, you'll have to just wait and see how everything plays out and just enjoy the show as it's aired. So please, save your time (and mine!) and don't bother pm'ing me about this stuff, because I'm just going to have to ignore it (which I hate and seems rude) or respond with what I've just said above!
So yeah, please remember that I have to stay tight-lipped about everything pretty much...it's the rules!
I'm sure you all understand

Take care!

Christmas Song!Well guys. I landed safely on Mars and am happy to announce that I am an idot.
I actually landed at my family's house in Alabama and am currently having a wonderful holiday with my Mom, Dad, Sister, Sister, and Brother (Baasik).
So much fun in fact that Baasik and I decided we didn't want you to miss out on a moment of it! So we recorded this beautiful Christmas song for your ears to bleed to:

A Note About The Flaming Pony.Hi hi everypony!
So, I get asked a lot of the same questions, as I'm sure you can all imagine, and sometimes I can answer them and sometimes I can't. Lately I've been getting asked about Wild Fire and why she was changed in one of the last episodes, if we'll ever see her again, and how she came to be in the first place.
Her first appearance in the Canterlot Wedding ep, wasn't much of an exciting story (none of this is, I apologize). After seeing the cleaned up storyboard (which I believe that part was drawn by Marshall), I noticed that the one pony looked almost like Wild Fire. For shoots and giggles, I went to our art director and simply just asked if we could try and make it WF for laughs. And it worked. It was as simple as that.
While work had begun on season 3, I was approached by my good friend Wootie (and co-director) asking if it was okay to use WF as a Wonderbolt Cadet for the 307 episode. They needed a few more designs, and I agreed that it would be fine. So yes, up until the

2012... What a Year...What a year it has been. 2012 was a rollercoaster. This fandom! The cons! The art! So much art! I got to meet so many awesome folks. Let's get right to it!
First of all: Thanks to all my family and friends who have supported me on this silly thing.
And for the rest!

Leaving the Navy + New Singing Video

Well guys, I've made my decision... I'm leaving the military!

Yeah, I know I was supposed to go to the electric brigade, but the budget cuts were too steep and the 1st class billets are completely closed shut...
No body is getting promoted...
I have no idea how long that will last but I'm not about to reenlist to find out!

Anyway, if all goes according to plan, I'll be leaving Japan (and the Navy) in early October of this year and will be looking for jobs again...
Oh who am I kidding? I'm gonna try out for American Idol, The Voice, The X Factor, and America's got Talent!

(Hey, you never know until you try right?

)

Anyway, I decided to upload a quick video of a few different singing techniques and imitations I've developed over the years, feel free to let me know what you think!

Love you guys, and see you on the other side!

Watching: , Running, Burping; Those are all verbs.
Playing: with grenades is not a good idea...
Eating: makes you fat and not dead
Drinking: makes you drunk

This is about three months late that I'm seeing this, but when you do try out for American Idol, Voice, X Factor and AGT, let us know when the episodes'll be airing! I will want to watch those!

Good luck! It will be awesome when you become an international sensation and I will be able to tell everybody proudly that you have actually acknowledged my presence in the past!

~RabidFowlFan Feb 11, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Thank you for your service, and wishing you luck in future endeavors! My brother's feeling the budget cuts too in the FA/18 pilot seat. I don't think they're quite so steep as to block promotions on his end, but they're certainly no fun. Good luck

Sing a pony related song for the auditions! I wish you good luck for each one

~IndigoKatana Feb 6, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I have so much respect for you for being brave enough to expose yourself to so many people through a show like X-factor. I mean, even if I was good at singing I wouldn't have the balls to jump into a mainstream singing competition.

I have high hopes considering your singing is so much better that what those shows usually get : P
