Made a pilgrimage to my local walmart today to scope out the new pony section they have up. Snagged some napkins and drinking cups, then headed to the pony aisle. I kinda waited back, because there was a family checking out the pony toys as well. There was a mother, a son, and a daughter. The daughter looked around 12-13, the son looked about 7-8. She was holding on to a Rarity plushie while her little brother asked her to grab a Fluttershy for him on the shelf. The daughter basically said "You can't have her, it's a show for girls! You're not a little girl!" The mother basically flashed a glance at her and said "Now come on ____". The little guy looked close to tears as his sis teased him semi-playfully....
so I killed off my shyness and walked over to the section nonchalantly. "Oh wow, the new Fluttershy's came in!" and grabbed one off the shelf. *turning to the sister* "She's my favorite, you know she did save Ponyville from a dragon right? That's pretty awesome!" *daughter looks shocked* "But I have one already....I wonder if someone else would like her?" *little boys eyes beam but remains quiet* "But since she's so shy, she'd need someone tough to protect her....you look tough! Think you can take care of her?" *little boy nods and grabs toy*
*smiles, walks off*
*sees them again and tosses a $10 at the mom to get both the Rarity and Flutter* The mom thanked me for doing that, apparently their father is in the military and he's the little man of the house now....and his sister is a bit of a bully sometimes to him.
Good deed accomplished! *squee*

In Memoriam.
My grandfather was an incredible human being. He was always kind and compassionate around us grandchildren, and though he had made poor choices earlier on in life before we all came into being…. He learned from them all and grew, letting us learn the lessons he wish he had earlier in his life. When he got caught accidentally using a racial slur in an old time song, he’d apologize for it and I can’t recall him ever singing the song in the original way. He cared enough about us to want us to be better. And being a little bit better every single day is something we should all ascribe to.
He lived. If he had a moment of spare
Autobiography Prologue (preview)
When I first started my journey into the brony culture, I didn’t know what I would find. I was honestly open to anything that I may come across. Being naturally painfully shy was a challenge, but it seemed that brony conventions allowed me to throw away the robe of self-doubt and just be myself. I hope you enjoy this book, dear reader. Inside you’ll find the good and bad about my experiences with the fandom.
You’ll read about me seeing a brony celebrity naked, you’ll read about the drama produced by different parties that boiled over at a few conventions, you’ll read about people who have given their all
Preview: Chapter 1 (Autobiography)
The journey on my path to becoming a brony and who I am today right after I finished my third episode viewing of the show. But let’s go back a little before that and see who I was…
I was always quiet in High School. I had a small handful of friends and found that I’d rather spend time with myself than party with the others. I’d go to football games as member of the band, but I never really enjoyed the experience. I’d play so quiet as to not cut off another player and so no one would notice me. I’d hope for the defeat of our team so I wouldn’t have to take another 6 hour drive out to some town for a
Getting ready for your first pony convention!
So this is it! You've decided that you want to go to a "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" convention. Well hold up a little, my friend. Let me give you a few ins and outs of the convention circuit so you can get the most enjoyment out of it.
First off, no convention is going to be 'perfect'. Things go wrong for both the attendees and the convention throwers. My first convention was BronyCon 2012; and anyone who was there can probably attest that the printing of badges was pretty.... well, slow. Rather than complain and moan for the two hours we waited in line, we sang and had a blast! Taking into consideration that this was the first time
