Mare in the Moon

Yo! I am a male, high school graduate. I am currently a "Future Soldier" in the U.S. Army (And hella-proud of it, might I add) Going to be trained as a Combat Medic.

How I became a Brony:
Well I am a member of a Call of Duty Zombies message board, and when I first joined, I posted around for a while, since zombies was THE big thing in my life at the time. I started noticing the pony pictures lingering around. The first one that Ireally took notice in was one of Fluttershy stomping on Flowers, so I looked up who Fluttershy was. I thought it was interesting how so many people on that board were into MLP, and I thought the images were really cute. After that I didnt think much into it. I followed a few Brony Topics, never posted, but got a little insight on what the Hubub was about.

After a few months of not really caring, my Girlfriend and I were talking (on Live Messenger) about important aspects of our lives. I said mine (besides her) was Turkeys, and I had no idea why I loved them so much. She replied that she felt the same with "Cartoon Ponies with Big eyes" So I responded with "Like My Little Pony?" And she said "Exactly" and changed her display picture to a picture of Twlilight from Lesson Zero (the face when she says "Ticking" lol) and that is what made me decide to really look into it. First I hit a wiki site, read a few basic things, then hit Youtube and watched the first episode. It was interesting, I thought, so I watched the second cuz I really wanted to see how it ended.

After that I jumped around a few eps indescriminently, and I just decided "This stuff is awsome" XD. So I stayed up all night one night and just watched them all (Well, all of season 1 and part of 2 one night, and the rest of 2+Hearts and Hooves the second) And now here I am.

I have recently opened up completely to all of my friends about being a Brony, and while some of them find it weird they are non-critical and non-judgmental about it. one of them even watched a few episodes with me and is starting to become one himself.

The community, as I know it so far, is fantastic. Nicest group of people I have ever met. The Fan-art and Music are just amazing (haven't read any fics yet.) I really enjoy being a Brony, and I hope to remain an active member of the community whenever possible.
