Novembmare 10th, 2010 of Equestria the Nation

Dear diary,
Wow, never thought that i would have a diary, or even something to write about, but here I am. Let me begin by introducing myself. I am Lyra Heartstrings. I am lyre player, as my cutie-mark would suggest, and I am a humony. That's right, i think humans are real. Which leads to why i got you, a diary, to write in. I wanted some way to document my findings, because I know that they are out there. Got it? Good. I can tell you and me are going to spend a lot of time together.

GREAT NEWS! I just found an old book at the library that has a whole bunch of stuff about humans. Never mind the fact that it is call "Mythical Creatures That Have Never Been Proven" it's a good book. Twilight Sparkle, the bookworm, helped me pick it out. Let me just give you thee gist of what it says.

1. Humans don't have magic, they use advanced machinery
2. Humans can't fly, nor do they move on all fours
3. Humans have hands and feet, not hooves
4. Humans are so complex, they have emotional problems like crazy
5. Humans are not as kindhearted as us ponies

so, there you go, more specific stuff to come.

Dear diary,
alright, so I was reading into detail about the humans lack of magic, and this thing they use called technology to advance in life. Instead of creating new spells to make things easier they invent new machines, power by electricity and stuff, to get it done. Strange, but oddly interesting. And these machines can do some of the stuff that our magic can. I think there was something on the list of inventions about an "automobile"? I wonder what exactly that is. The book said that it used some sore of fuel to move the humans around, like trains except without tracks, and that most individual families owned one or two of them. Now wouldn't that be really nice, to not have to trot everywhere. And these automobiles, or "cars" for short, have roofs that cover your head in bad weather.

Quick note today: other ponies don't believe in humans. Some are more tolerate of my beliefs than others. I need to find a way to convince them that humans so do exist. Then I'll become famous, and recognized by everypony for the genius that I am.

I quit. For now. It was all her fault. Pinkie Pie, that stupid mare just laughed at me when I told her that humans are real. And the way she laughed, it was like she thought I was an idiot just for having the slightest thought of the existence of humans. So I have decided to lay low for awhile, maybe until after the holidays. Then I'll go back, with even more determination and passion.

I'M BAAACK!! And boy what a Hearth's Warming Eve I had. I got to see this amazing production of the origin of Equestria. And when I left, I saw a giant flaming heart floating over Canterlot. Then, the next day, I visited the Canterlot Archives to see if they had any information on humans. Turns out there was a substantial amount of books on humans. But on book in particular caught my eye. It was a history book, documenting events dating back before the founding of Equestria. There was a small section, about a dark time in the land of ponies.
It was way back, before most of anything had happened in this land. Ponies and humans coexisted together. But the humans didn't have as pure of motives as the ponies, and anger and resentment plagued them. A great war broke out. Yeah, war. Don't hear that word used often around here, with all the peace and calm we have. I doubt they even teach much about that in schools anymore. But there was a war. And it devastated us. Although the book didn't go into detail, it made it seem like the humans were banished to some far away place. I wonder where, or if I could reach such a place.

So, aside from my growing interest in humans, I actually haven't been doing much lately. In fact, when was the last time I played my Lyre? I guess I should go practice. See ya.

Dear Diary,
I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do. My friends have left me, except for Bon Bon, but i can feel her slipping away. So in order to keep my friends, I'm giving up on humans, or at least the outward appearance of caring. I probably won't write in you anytime soon so, take care.

Okay Diary,
I couldn't take it anymore. I had to start back up. The humans are plaguing my mind. I have dreams, lots of dreams. Even during the day, I get these weird scenarios running through my head. They often have me, going into the land of the humans.Let me just give you an example.
It was a dark and stormy night. Six humans, each with special abilities walked (hey I can finally use that word) into the cemetery, to pay respects to an old friend. As the leader of the group places a single rose on the headstone, a flash of magic fills the spot where the rose was placed. As the light dies down, a familiar pony appears. guess who? it's me! so i appear and pick up the rose with my magic, and hand it back to the leader. Then I say something cool like " I have come to help you regain what was lost." I then turn around, back off the headstone, and begin a super awesome magic spell. My horn begins to glow a brilliant sea-foam green, and the headstone begins to shake. The wind howls and trees sway back and forth. Then all motion suddenly stopped, and there sitting on the headstone, was a girl holding a lyre. I turn to the humans, bow quickly, and vanish in a cloud of dust.
Pretty cool, right?

So, that story yesterday, it was off the top of my head. Like everything else I've ever written to you, it was off the top of my head. My obsession, yes I'm calling it an obsession now, has grow out of hand. I mean, it has consumed my mind, and all my dreams, including my day dreams. I can't solve any problems in life. All I do is imagine stuff about humans. All my friends are gone, all of them. Even Bon Bon. Sure I still see her, but we don't talk much. So I have decided that these humans are poisoning me, my life, my friendship.

Good bye.
