The Sleepless Unicorn Writes about MBTI

Hullo humanoids. I'm back and I still haven't slept much *glares an insomnia* And I'm talking about MBTI today. Google it if you don't know what it is because I'm too lazy to explain it. Actually, I'll be nice and explain it. It's this personality thingy that uses letters and there are sixteen different personality types and it uses letters. It's really really cool and I'm slightly obsessed with it. Just slightly.

There are sixteen types and I will now attempt to remember them all without using Google. INTP, ENFP, ESFJ, ESTP, INTJ, ESTJ, ISTJ, INFJ, ISTP, ENTJ, ENTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISFJ, ENFJ. That's all of them. I think. There are sixteen listed there and hopefully I didn't just repeat stuff. If I missed a type then sorry. Don't kill me. I don't want to die again. Dying is not an experience I want to relive.

Each of those letters mean something. Extrovert, Introvert, iNtuition, Sensing, Thinking, Feeling, Perceiving, and Judging. Extroverts feel energized around people but social events drain introverts. Like vampires sucking blood socializing sucks away an introvert's energy. I'm not even going to bother with explaining sensing and intuition. Something to do with stuff. Go Google it. Google is useful for this stuff. Google knows everything. Google is like a know-it-all stalker. I should go back to talking about MBTI. Thinking is making decisions with logic like a Vulcan. Except Thinkers aren't emotionless. We have emotions too you know. Feelers make decisions based on emotions. Not always but they're more likely to make an impulsive decision based on their emotions. But even if they're more emotional than thinkers that doesn't make them idiots. Feelers are smart too. Most of the time. Perceivers tend to procrastinate and don't like having a scheduled or planning everything. Judgers plan stuff and stuff like that. Now, don't base what type you are just on what the letters mean. Yeah, that's a start but each type have different traits and stuff. This site is a good one to use to find out your type: 16personalities.com.

Each type is different. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. Some people don't fit nicely into one type and may belong to several different types. They're like Divergent or something.

I am INTP and despite the stereotype for INTPs being really good at math and stuff like that I totally suck at math. *burns math* The type stereotypes are often wrong or at least they don't apply to every single person with that type. If they did I'd be an emotionless atheist genius who dislikes being around people. So just because the internet says all ENFPs are brainless doesn't make it true. Because it isn't. I know a bunch of really smart ENFPs. They are overly huggy though. If you're allergic to hugs avoid them and ESFJs. Both those types generally like hugging people.

So that's MBTI. I might do posts about each type eventually. Maybe. Possibly. It might one day happen. Hopefully. But anyways, hope you enjoyed this lovely unedited post. Farewell humanoids. *vanishes in a cloud of hamsters*

The Sleepless Unicorn Writes about Legion

Hullo humanoids! Back again. You should feel honored for having so many posts this weeks. I still haven't slept much but hey, due to that you guys get to see what goes on inside my brilliant mind. My brilliant mind is a very very odd place.

Now, Legion is this Facebook group of insane, Christian, nerdy, writer, alien people. It's an awesome group. Weird but awesome. I say everything is weird. Everything is weird. That's weird. Weird is weird. I'm off track. Back to the awesome group of weirdos. I joined the group a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I stalked the posts and such for awhile and then started participating. Slowly I was sucked into the insanity. It was great. Now I'm one of the most active members in the group and I'm amazing friends with all the weirdos. It's great. I said that already I think. *shrugs* Whatever.

So, one of the greatest things about Legion are the nicknames. Almost all the active members have at least two. Normally more. The founder and leader of Legion has a couple dozen. Examples of some of the nicknames are: Skittles, Horse Dude, Peaches, ybs, Bacon, Berry, and Blade. We're rather obsessed with food related nicknames. I have three. Killer, Kringle, and Dark One. Wow... that makes me sound like a pastry eating super villain or something. Google Kringle if you don't know what it is because it's amazing. Seriously best thing ever. Even better than Legion. Well, not quite that good but close. Legion is slightly better even if it's not edible. The people are edible though.... But most of them are minors and it's immoral to eat minors.

Other stuff about stuff that involves Legion. We love Fall Out Boy because it's great. Thou art like tulips in the rain. Eat Skittles. Don't die horizontally. Typs aer awaeome (translated: typos are awesome). Bacon kills. Like seriously. Stay away from Bacon. Jetpack kittens! Uh... My brain isn't working the greatest or I'd say more. I'll be going now. Farewell humanoids! May the Vroom be with you!

The Sleepless Unicorn Writes about Books

Hullo humanoids! I'm back and I still haven't gotten much sleep! And yes it is midnight. But you're getting two posts in a week. So the few of you who actually read this crap you should be happy. And just as a warning a lot of my posts will probably end up like this. Now onto talking about stuff. Or books. Stuff was the last post.

Books are weird. Whether it's a paperback or eBook it's still a thing that uses words to create stories that make you feel like you're in another world. Unless it's non fiction. Then... I don't know. It makes you feel like you're somewhere else here. Words are also weird. They're just a combination of letters from the alphabet that has meaning to us. Everything is weird. The word weird is weird because words are weird. But back to books. Well written fiction books transport you to another world. They're an escape from reality. They're wonderful. They're really weird but awesome. I love books. I love them more than skittles. Oh, and random fact. Purple skittles make me sick. I have actually puked from eating them. I know you wanted to know that. It's such valuable information. It'll change your life. I'm 42% sure it will.

There are various genres of books. Fiction and non fiction. Science fiction and fantasy. Humor and boring. Unicorns and narwhals. Narwhals are such weird creatures. They're like a unicorn and whale combined. A uniwhale. But back to genres. We split books into these genres because not all books are the same. They might be similar physically but the words they contain are always different. Sci-fi has aliens, lasers, and spaceships. Fantasy has dragons, swords, and magic. Not all sci-fi and fantasy contain these things I've just stated some common things from both genres. But yeah, genres are interesting. And different. And stuff. I really don't know where I was going with this. Let's move on.

Types of books! Paperback, hardcover, eBook, scrolls, stone tablets, invisible. There are all kinds of formats for books. Everyone has their preferences. No one has a wrong opinion when it comes to this. I prefer hardcover to paperback. I don't hate eBooks. I read them often. But I prefer having a physical book in my hand. Invisible books are pointless. They're very hard to read. Stone tablets are heavy and I don't think very many people use them nowadays but there's nothing wrong with using them. Congrats if you do. You're one of a few.

I should shut up now. I could keep rambling but then you'll probably give up and go do something productive with your life. Like look at Pinterest. Farewell humanoids and may the odds ever be in your favor. And if for some odd reason there are people reading this comment below what you want my next sleepless unicorn writes topic to be. Beam me up, Scotty! *teleports out*

A Sleepless Unicorn Writes about Stuff

Hello humanoid! I haven't slept in 48 hours! So of course I decide to write a blog post. I apollogize for the weirdness this will contain and I will not apollogize for my Greek pun. Yay me. Using bad puns. Now what the heck is this post about? I really don't know. It's about stuff because that's the only suggestion I got when I asked for suggestions on what to write a blog post about. That was a long sentence.

This post seriously has no point. Why am I writing this? I guess I could talk about random stuff. Skittles taste excellent. I love skittles. My favorites are the orange ones because I like orange things.  And I am a psychopathic mass murderer.

Since this is a writing blog I should write about writing. I am a cruel and evil writer when it comes to my characters. Torture your characters and it makes the story better. As long as it's not pointless torture. There needs to be a point to everything. There needs to be a reason. You can't kill someone for no reason. Pointless death is annoying. So
if you ever decide to kill someone make sure you have a good reason. And by someone I mean a character. Please don't kill real people because of this post. I don't want to get arrested. I don't want to go back to prison. So no killing real people. Only characters and only kill characters if their death isn't pointless.

I feel like I should stop writing. I'm probably already going to regret this post later. This will be a fun thing to look back on later in life. That one evening where I had nothing better to do so I wrote a blog post even though I was incredibly tired. I'm also not really bothering to edit this thing. Brilliant idea, Ryder. Absolutely brilliant. The fact that you're still reading this is amazing. Congratulations person. You have read a pointless blog post. Yay you. I'm going now. Good bye. Don't die horizontally and thou art like tulips in the rain.

How to Spell

Hello humanoids. I am late. I did not post last week due to something called forgetfulness and laziness. Yet, for some odd reason you are here. You should get a medal for that. Now onto today's topic.

How do you spell words? Most people spell words w-o-r-d-s. If you do not spell it that was you should take a spelling class because as far as I know that's the only way to spell it. There are some words that people spell differently though. Donut or doughnut? Grey or gray? Blond or blonde? ppl or people? If you spell it ppl when you're not texting go read the dictionary.

There are reasons why these words are spelled differently. Doughnut is the actual spelling, donut is the abbreviation. Grey is the British spelling and gray is the American. Blond hair is a dude's hair, blonde hair would be for a girl. ppl is text lingo and people is the actual spelling. They may sound and means basically the same thing (except for blond/blonde) but they're spelled differently.

People get into arguments on how these and many other words are supposed to be spelled and it's stupid. Yeah, people spell some words differently. Although I prefer doughnut donut is an acceptable spelling of the word. British spell words differently than Americans. Even though blond and blonde are dude and girl people still use both interchangeably for both genders and I personally think that's fine. Yes, people have their preferences on how words should be spelled but don't get mad if people don't use the same spelling. Especially if it's British versus American. They're two different countries. They both use English but that doesn't mean they must spell everything the same. So don't get into an argument just because someone spelled something differently than how you spell it. Just accept the fact that not everyone spells everything the same way you do.

Okay, I'm done ranting now. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Oh, wow. I stayed on topic for the entire post. Amazing. Now, unless I forget again you amazing people will have another awesome post next week. Farewell and try not to die! If you die you won't be able to read more of my awesomeness.

What's your opinion on how words are spelled?

First Post

Hello humanoids! Welcome to the insanity which is my wonderful blog. This is the place where I'll be posting stuff. Most of my stuff will be writing related. Which makes sense since that is what I am. I am also a unicorn. Yes, you read that right. You're reading a blog written by a unicorn. You should feel honored to be reading something written by such a majestic creature.
Anyways, this place will just be weird so if you don't like weird just leave now. If you have a phobia of weirdness then I'm not entirely sure why you're still reading this. How are you still here if you have weirdphobia? You should've been scared off awhile ago. I highly doubt you actually have weirdphobia if you're still reading this. But anyways, I am Ryder Eclipse and welcome to the Unicorn Writer. I'll be posting once a week for now so return sometime next week for more weirdness. Farewell, humanoids!
