To all my beloved customers, present and past: I am sorry you had a bad day. I am sorry that life is hard, unfair, painful, and gloomy. I am sorry that your best laid plans have gone kaboom in your face and left you feeling angry, sad, violated and weak. I am truly sorry and I understand how you feel because I too have had days that make me wish to crawl back into bed and forget the world exists. But, you need to realize something. Something very important... You need to realize that feeling like this does not give you the right to lash out at everyone around you. It does not give you the right to yell and throw tantrums like a child. It does not give you the right to scream at me, call me names, threaten me and try to pick fights with me. Believe it or not, I am not there to be talked to and treated like a mongrel. I am there to do my job. A job that more often than not isn't worth me having to put up with your irate, immature behavior. A job that has me trying to help you find something or bring you something tasty that will maybe brighten your day. That smile that you see on my face, after you are done screaming at me, is not because I am happy. That smile is the only thing keeping my mouth shut after you've poisoned me with your anger. After you've caused a scene in front of every other customer. But you know what? Oddly enough, for as painfully as your poison spreads, I manage to keep it under control. I don't let it spread to my co-workers or the customers I come into contact with. I manage to work through it. I Keep it under control, constantly reminding myself that I am not you. Reminding myself that unlike you, I can keep myself in check and act like an adult. That no matter how horrible things get and make me feel, I can push through them in hopes of something better. ...For this, I guess I should thank you. No matter how much your anger poisons me, I thank you for reminding me of what I can do. I thank you for showing me how an individual should not behave. For reminding me of just how different I am from you, and being thankful for it. I thank you my beloved customers. I hope things get better for ya'll. That ya'll may one day look back and realize what a horrible spectacle you made of yourselves, and learn from it. WOW! That felt really good.

did you just....divide by zero there?? Yup, and I ended up with infinity... And pie! My math may be off, but what the hay! If there's pie, then I'm golden.

AH, I see. Thanks for the info Tales and thanks again for the pleasant greetings. For now I may just hang out and see how the RP forums work and read some more of the posts there. Honestly I wouldn't mind giving it a shot some time. But for now, thanks everypony again for the greetings.

I studied abroad in Japan for a year, so that was a huge help. You're an art major with a minor in Japanese? How come, if I may ask?

Bringing sunshine to the sunshine-less region.

Well, I like a lot of different kinds of games. However, my top ten would have to be... 1. Legend of Zelda (Skyward Sword looks promising) 2. Super Mario Bros. 3. Fallout 4. Portal 5. Elder Scrolls (New one coming out 11/11/11 SWEET) 6. Star Fox 7. Lego (Yes I know, but applesause, they are entertaining and funny) 8. Assassin's Creed 9. Metroid 10. Dragon Age Also, I work at a video game store. If you have any questions about upcoming games or new games that you can't find an answer for on the internets, feel free to ask and I'll try and answer

Well, I'm a working brony, but I'm also a university brony. On my last semester actually. Although, seeing so many art, design, and computing ponies post kind of makes me hesitant to say my major, seeing as everypony here must be so super creative. But what the hay! I'm an East Asian Studies major focusing on Japanese language, literary, and cultural studies, while also minoring in Chinese Studies... Basically I like to people watch

Howdy, I work at a video game store. I usually work in the evening on weekdays and afternoons on weekends. And, before ya'll say anything, working at a video game store ain't all fun and games... 75% of the time maybe, but more often than not, you are behind the counter trying to explain to a 15 year old why you can't sell him an M rated game aimed at 17+, or explaining to a parent what is meant by "Partial Nudity" or full-out naughty bits while they are buying GTA or God of War for their 8-9 year old... And then they just stare at ya as if ya just accused them of being a bad parent. Don't get me wrong though, overall I like it, but I just don't love it. I mean, I like video games and I like my co-workers because they are fun to talk to, and I'm used to dealing with irate customers but... oh the deary customers, how they do enjoy messing up a store. Not complaining, its just that I like to think if you take something off a shelf and decide you don't want it, you simply put it back where you got it from. I spend 40 minutes every night after closing rearranging the display walls, finding game cases on the floor, taking 360 games (green boxes) out of the Wii section (white boxes) and trying to figure out why people stick PS3 boxes in with the Strategy Guides. Also, its impossible to keep anything alphabetized, it can take well over an hour to finish a section only for it to last 30 minutes. Still, I get a discount on my games, so I guess I can't complain too much

I liked it. Not one of my favorite episodes, but still entertaining. Like some of the bronies here, Rainbowdash's "Taking out the trash" bit kind of made me go "HUH?!" too, but maybe it has something to do with a future episode. Overall though, I think the show had some good laughs and a nice, although worn out, lesson about jealousy at the end.

Sweet! I really like your music too Welcome to the forums brony!

Howdy and welcome to the forum!

Howdy! welcome to the forum. I'm new here too

Thank you for wishing me the best of luck! And thank you ya'll for the welcome. I already looked at the "Getting Started" section and read some of the things you ponies have on there. Very helpful indeed. I also took a quick look at the RP section and found it to be rather interesting. I don't quite get how it works though... I mean, I read the part that you submit your character for approval and even read some of the character descriptions that had been submitted. But I'm still not 100% up to speed. Is there a storyline to follow or general premise? If anypony can point me in the right direction, I'll be much obliged and mosey on over there and check it out. Still, for now I'll just read on through the other sections of the forum. Nice to meed ya'll again

Howdy everypony, pleasure to make your acquaintance. Umm, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to include in this intro or how long is appropriate, so please bare with me as I try and cover my basics... Or what I assume are the basics judging from the other intros I read. If I go beyond the basics, then just feel free to read the parts you think should be basics and view the rest as ramblings. Kind of like this... Moving on. HI, again, I'm 26 and about to graduate from university. I have many nicknames, but most ponies seem content with Jim, although that is not my name, it is the shortening of a nickname. I work at a video game store, but aspire to be an English teacher. I'm a crafty person in the sense that I'm very kinetic and love to do and build things with my hands which has led to many hobbies... But I lack the ability to draw. I have been an avid fan of MLP;FiM since a month ago or so. I was somewhat hesitant at first, not knowing what to expect out of it, but I haven't looked back since. After finding a discussion about college bronies on http://www.equestriadaily.com/, I began wondering how it would be to just join up with other fellow bronies and, as such, moseyed on over here after doing a quick search. I did not realize this was an RP forum, never done an RP forum before... Or RP in general. Still, I'll try anything once if it seems fun. So umm, yeah, nice to meet you all again. Please feel free to ask about anything your curious about, I'm sure I'll be able to answer it. I'm pretty sure once I get my hoofs wet to this whole RP thing I'll be a regular... Free time allowing that is B)
