As soon as my mohair arrives, i'll post a rerooting with mohair thread. I'm tackling the larger Applejack pony, the mohair should be a better match for her actual hairstyle on the show. And more fun!

I am so used to it at this point that honestly it no longer bothers me.

There are way lamer things I do that should elicit much more eye-rolling (*cough*SweetValleyHigh*cough*)

The only even remotely art-related blog I am reading these days is Cartoon Brew. And I follow Allan William's blog: http://ijustdraw.blogspot.com/

I do most of my old-school video game playing in Salisbury Mass at this place called Joe's Playland. They have an upper floor where NOTHING is from after 1988. it's super awesome. Ms. Pacman forever!

That is when I am not kicking my husband's ass at Bubble Bobble.

I have purchased every version of the Nintendo since I was old enough to have a job for one reason only. legend of zelda! I don't really have the time to dedicate to more video games.

I wish I could like Owl City. They remind me too much about what I don't like about Death cab for Cutie (although their first few things were awesome). But I think maybe it's my age.

I really loved Galaxie 500 and Built to Spill and very early Death Cab (although I liked Revolutionary Hydra, their sister band, better)in those end-of-high-school/beginning-of-college years where you kind of form the musical tastes that stay with you forever, and Owl City just reminds me of too much stuff. Just like Elliott Smith bothered me for the most part - just seemed like processed and updated (Harry) Nilsson Schmilsson light. Although I am sure people can and will say the same thing about my favorite bands. I guess it really all depends on what you hear first. Like the first album you hear from a band will always have a place in your heart, if you enjoy it on first listen. it might not be your favorite output from the band, but it will always be your first impression.

if you that this style of music, though, you should check this out.

I never wanted it to happen, but somehow between her Sleepover enthusiasm by-the-book in "Look Before You Sleep", and the bouncing around the Cutie Mark Crusaders in "Call of the Cutie", Twilight slipped in there and became number one for me, and it is a very tough call.

It started out that Rainbow Dash was my favorite. Applejack was next, because Applejack was my favorite pony as a child, and who am I to disagree with a cowgirl? Rarity and Twilight Sparkle were tied for next-to last. The first episode I couldn't stand either of them. Pinkie Pie was last, since I have hated Pinkie Pie since the moment she became a MLP character.

And now, the characters are so well-rounded and fun that it's really hard to say which would be my least favorite. They're all assholes at times, but they're super lovable assholes. Kind of like my friends.

In your signature? Ronnie James Dio?

YES! me too.

ALL THE PONIES! I am stoked that guys are into this. Now I can have conversations about MLP, Van Halen and Atari 2600s in the same breath MORE often. It just doesn't seem to happen when talking to a lot of girls (doesn't keep me from expecting it!)

I'm a female too, but holy crap it's awesome that guys like MLP these days. Hi!

Hello, Aimee here! 32 going on 10 year old on-again/off-again pony collector, (it's back to ON) from Salem, Massachusetts. I possibly made your online Math course for college. I'm married to this guy: http://www.airforcejoyride.com/. I am frequently found in an unladylike situation, while wearing a vintage dress, sprawled on the ground with my camera and an assortment of toys.

I've been a My Little Pony fan since almost day one, when my cousin got Blossom for her birthday, and I freaked out about her. A year went by and my aunt bought me Twilight. Followed by more ponies on my birthday, and even MORE for every holiday until those "My Little Pony Mommy" themed commercials came out, and I kind of lost interest (too much MTV). My last pony was a flutterpony, and I do not even remember which because soon after my mom threw out all of my toys for not cleaning my room. Then in the mid 90's I was volunteering at a thrift store around Christmas and found a completely trashed and disgusting Butterscotch in the bottom of the Toys for Tots barrel. They let me keep her and then "paid" me for the rest of my 2 years volunteering there in grubby ponies and vintage clothing, which worked out because they couldn't sell either, and I've collected ever since, and at one time had nearly 400 ponies. I am not a good collector, though, because I don't care about devaluing them. Even when I was a kid ponies wound battle Transformers. RNFB = an opportunity to gleefully rip open a package and get that plastic pony smell.

I found out about MLP:FIM after several years of IGNORING my little pony (after the first My Little Pony Convention in 2007, which pretty much soured me to them, and I sold a bunch off, although I did keep my absolute favorites), but I follow Cartoon Brew and saw an article called "The End of the Creator-Driven Era in TV Animation". I a momentary dork freak-out because I saw Applejack, went and read as much as I could about it, was completely SHOCKED that the cartoon was watchable (while I have collected ponies, I have always HATED the cartoons, and only watched the original one as a kind of matching game, and because it came on sandwiched between Gumby and Jem). Not only watchable, but my new favorite cartoon since Metalocalypse! Most surprising was Pinkie Pie, who was the character in the previous line I most wanted to blow up. When I of all people want to hug Pinkie Pie, you know the writing and character development is great. I joined this forum today because my husband, while tolerant and supportive of my pony habit (which he calls "pony running" and alludes to them in the same way one would talk about cocaine at all times), has had enough; his eyes are starting to glaze over every time I mention them.

Favorite FIM Ponies: Twilight Sparkle (poor clueless Twilight, so smart, but soooo clueless) and Applejack. Dash reminds me too much of a friend of mine.

Other Collections: Blythe, Gumby, Moomin (Mumintrollet), the girls from 80's action figure lines aimed at guys, other 80's toy lines, small 70's dolls, Treeson.

Other loves: John Arne Sæterøy, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, MST3k, Space Ghost, Camping, X-Men and related superhero-Soap Operas, The Legend of Zelda, Muppets, Paper Rad, Letterpress.

Hi all!
