I was, and am still at heart, a country kid. Some of my fondest childhood memories are from grandma's farm, where I used to crawl around in the hay loft, looking for newborn kittens, and splash in the shallow water in the nearby lake. There was and old mill in the property, too, and we kids were strictly forbidden from going there alone, which of course meant it was our favorite playground. Another defining point of my younger days is that I was right from the start the sort of kid who was perfectly happy being alone, with only my imagination for company. I had about a truckload of toy animals that I played with, acting out long, complex stories (as complex as a kid can come up with, anyhow) and I could draw, and later read for hours on end without any interference.

No blueberry pie? Son, I'm disappointed.

So I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm one of the 'grey-manes' of the fandom, meaning I watched and loved the original series way back in the 80's, and now I am delighted that a childhood favorite has been remade to suit even (mostly) grown up tastes. I'm also a bit of an artist, I'm under this same screen name on DeviantArt.

Hey, hey, hey! ...hay? Sweet Celestia, I've been stuck on this equine pun setting ever since I registered for this forum... It's mind control, I tell you!

Doin' all-neigh.
