Hello? Is this thing on? Test, test. One. Two. One, two, one, two … *coughs* Okay … So, well, um … it’s my second bronyversary today and there are a few things I want to say. I wanted to make this super short in the beginning, but I thought “Hey, you’re posting that little on the forums these days, so why not at least a little wall of text?”
So, where do I start … Ah, yes.
You see, two years ago, if anyone would’ve told me what I’d experience in the following 730 days, I’d have laughed a
Well, it’s been a while since I wrote one of these …
What’s happened in my life over the past weeks? Well, after quitting on university after five semesters of studying social sciences, I started on my first job; a paid voluntary service, to be exactly. Called Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr (voluntary social year) here in Germany. It’s like a full-time job in a rather easy task with a little wage and some seminars to learn a few things and exchange some experiences with other volunteers. What am
And I still do. Not that I ever did much to change that wondering to knowing. It even stopped to interest me; or that’s at least what I thought. I never did enough to actually know it, to actually feel it. I was bullied, lost interest, became someone whose only daily goal was to do what felt good, not what was good.
I never knew what actual friendship is like. My expectations were that people would just like me and care about me for no actual reason. I based the “friendships” I had on intere
Imagine a cold and boring time in February. Last lectures, learning for exams… you stumble over a few pictures on the internet. Pictures of something, or should I say someone, you‘ve seen before. A pink cartoon pony. And then you think to yourself „Hey, I‘ve read it‘s good, so… why don‘t give it a shot?“ It‘s a Thursday. And three days later, you‘ve watched all sixty four episodes that have been released until that day.
February 10th 2013. The day I became a brony.

Gosh! What an od
Happy birthday, Lauren Faust!
I know you will most likely never read this, but since writing a letter now (My preferred method of saying "Happy Birthday") would be rather... well, let's skip that.
I know, some of us bronies think, that it is unnecessary to be that thankful to you anymore since you left the show. But I say: Thank you. Thank you for creating what led us all together, no matter where we come from, as who we were born and what we are now. Without that little cartoon about ta

So, since everything calmed down a little, I thought I could drop my own thoughts on the new information we have about season four from that panel at San Diego Comic Con.
From Equestria Daily http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/07/comic-con-2013-my-little-pony-main-panel.html
Season 4 (Kinda spoilery):
Meghan is excited about the new opportunities Twilight as an alicorn unlocks, but she stays true to her usual Twi
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Yes, but only in general.
You see, since life is change, you have to accept that there is the concept of change, that nothing will ever be the same. But that doesn't mean that you have to embrace a change you don't like. You have every right to act even against it. As long as you are able to accept that your actions against a change are also a change.
The status quo is nothing but an "old change". It came after another change was "abandoned". And so on.
You know, I like to watch many TV-Shows german-dubbed. I might understand english better than I can express myself in it, but listening to your native language is much more comfortable. Especially if the dub is well done.
And usually this is the case here in Germany. I mean, they do great jobs. They have to deal with the PAL-acceleration, lip-sync issues and the fact that many expressions in german simply require more words than in english.
All fine.
Until it comes to some exceptions li

1)
Mom: Don't you think you should get a haircut.
Me: It doesn't bother me how long my hair is.
Mom: But it looks better when it's short.
Me: (in english!) I really like my mane.
Mom: ???
Me: Uhm... nevermind

Friend #1 to #2 : Hi! (does special handshake: slightly clapping/handshaking each others hands, followed by brofist)
#2 to me: So, you showed up today. (tries the same thing with me, but I go for brohoof)

Imagine a day in early february. You have nothing big to do because studying for exams recently bored the hell out of you and nobody you know wants to hang out. You have no books to read, no games to play and everything on the TV are reruns. So you search for something to do. Just when you googled for some random pictures, you come across a screenshot of Pinkie Pie. It reminds you of something. You know about "Friendship is Magic". You know about it's fandom. Since over a year, but you didn't ca
