#how we started

I love how Carlos spreads his arms and submits to being sprayed.... reminds me of this ⬇️

I think I’d like to answer this one

It actually happened a long while ago. Well before I was a Princess. Fluttershy was over and a flash storm was scheduled suddenly. I guess Rainbow was slacking just a little on weather duties that day which is strange considering she is actually pretty timely even if it is at the last second. I’m getting sidetracked. I don’t do well with loud noises. Spike was with the crusaders stuck at Applejack’s conveniently enough...Fluttershy stayed with me and made me feel safe. It was stressful but after being held for a little while I relaxed and felt so much safer.

A little while later I started to understand that I had feelings for Fluttershy after having a long talk with Rarity. I have a very hard time verbally expressing things and an even harder time interpreting social cues so Rarity and Applejack helped me pick some flowers and a card and that’s how I was able to express how I felt. I can’t explain the feeling I had when she reciprocated those feelings

Hello friends,

My name is Brandon. I co-own Canada Watch Shop with my best friend, Elliot. We’ve known each other since we were in elementary school. 

We’ve always been entrepreneurially spirited, but until now, we had never committed to starting our own company.

We’ve always looked up to great legends like Andrew Carnegie, Robert Kiyosaki, and many more.

As a result of Elliot being evicted due to the person he was living with refusing to pay their share of the rent, we realized we had to move fast so that Elliot could have a chance of finding alternative employment.

At this time, Elliot had been off work for over a year and a half due to a labral tear. He had received surgery only a week or two prior to the notice and he later had to settle in court so that he will repay half of the owing rent and so would the roommate.

Once we finally moved into our new place, we went back and forth trying to find something of value we could provide to our community.

Once we realized we both had a passion for business and a mutual love of watches, we decided we’d open our own digital web store.

Where we could provide not only a place to browse and purchase watches but that we can build a community for anyone with a similar interest can discuss and interact with others.

That’s when Canada Watch Shop was born.

There will be more information to come surrounding obstacles we’ve faced and how we learned to overcome them and what that process really looks like. 

Every minute of every day.

“She’s texting Satan” turned into a joke in my house, accidentally because I have a little sister who would look at who I was texting, and...well. You know.

I told you everything, until every moment turned into something that I could share with you. I looked for things that I could tell you that would make you laugh, that would be so bizarre you would have to ask more, and we’d have to have a conversation.

I never meant for all of it to be about me. I tried to ask about you. I wanted to know. I don’t know if you just thought that you could never compete. I don’t know, I wish I’d asked more, I wish I’d talked about myself less...

But god, there were so many jokes we could make. So many easy conversations. And it was an easy out from talking to my family, who I hated. Maybe that made it worse. I don’t know. I was so used to my only friend being in Florida, where I moved from, that email was how I talked, and text was easy from that.

I punctuated all of my texts, though. I think you thought you had to too. I think you thought you had to do a lot. I’m sorry.

He was in my computer class and I didn't know anyone in there. I was the only senior in a class of juniors. (Of course, I didn't know that til much later) I sat where ever~ I had a boy set his things down next to me and started talking to me. I was really awkward but I tried to be social and nice (especially if I had to sit next to him all year). It didn't last very long because the teacher came in and asked for silence. Assigned seating. Thank god.

My seat was still near him but he was easy to avoid. A different boy was assigned to sit next to me. I was slightly nervous but not too long after my nerves finally settled. He was a quiet type. Not exactly shy or awkward but more to himself than anything.

He looked young so I wasn't really interested. Everyone looked really young in that class, even me probably.

We had to set up our class accounts, really boring stuff honestly. I looked over to the boy next to me, his head was down on the table. Hmm, maybe he already had an account. Whatever~ I countinued with my computer. The boy next to me stirred awake. He tapped me on the shoulder, apologized, and asked me what we were doing and how to get there. I told him it was okay, that things happened and then showed him what we needed to do. He told me thank you and we exchanged names a little later in class.
