  1. Infinite amounts of want. Bioshock did me no wrong as a series and I anticipate this upcoming installment with an open wallet.
  2. I demand that we watch a marathon of movies staring Will Smith. The lack of fucks he gives in his roles is quite dreamy.
  3. Well, I'd like to think that I helped to make your points a bit more clear to everyone with my post in the thread. Someone has to advocate for you, mm? Believe me, you did no wrong.
  4. If you get inked, best go for the entire arm and into your back or something. Major peeve of mine and several others guys and girls I know is when people just get one dinky little tattoo and call it a day. Seems a bit shoehorned in that way, you know? Personally, tattoos aren't my thing. I don't dislike them but I sure as anything don't want them.
  5. Time to actually, like, get my homework done at a halfway decent hour.

      Lots of caffeine and scary, middle aged Italian women.

  6. It was never a big deal. You brought up a decent point, sure, but didn't express it as well as you should have. All is forgiven.
  7. It's not often that I toot my own horn about such things but - teehee! - my desktop is pretty great.
  8. I agree with both of these quotes. In reference to the first quote, I've noticed that we're a considerably self absorbed fandom sometimes and it bothers me when the bronies I know in real life don't have the common decency to not flood people, who either don't give a shit whatsoever or are unaware of the fandom and - by extension! - also don't give a shit, with presumably nonsensical references and cultural tidbits. Being a brony does not make you suddenly above being annoying, by any means, and I'd be just as annoyed by someone shoehorning ponies into a conversation as I would be bugged by a kid inundating me with his theories regarding the upcoming draft pick for the NFL. Pick up social cues, bronydom, and save the ponies for the people who are actually interested in hearing about them. To the second quote, being a brony is not so groundbreaking that anyone should feel the need to "come out about it." You're a fan of a show. Feeling the need to come out about being a fan is just inherently pretentious in its entirety. You come out about being a homosexual because that's big and there's a social stigma to it and it takes some level of guts to do. You don't "come out" about watching ponies. "Coming out" to people who don't really know what a brony is is the equivalent of just inopportunely proclaiming your fandom which, as mentioned above, is somewhat annoying and unnecessary. It kind of bothers me that we tend to dramatize our role as a fandom quite often, leading the general public to regard us as some sort of deviant subculture. Why should we feel the need to come out at all, let alone to people who don't get it? I don't know about the rest of you but my being a brony is only a part of who I am. It adds to the unfolding reality that is my personhood - it doesn't define it by any stretch! When you let bronydom define you, you become a stereotype. When you become a stereotype, you become vulnerable to lampooning and mockery. The quotes the OP posted are by all means reasonable and relevant, sorry to anyone who disagrees. Our mantra is "love and tolerance." Let's try to actually practice that and consider just where they're coming from.
  9. A huge emphasis on this, Wobs is totally right. The purpose of your life is not to be some extension of your parents, Mikael, and as long as you're not doing anything particularly harmful to either yourself or the people around you, your parents shouldn't care enough about what you do or what you're into as to where it dramatically affects the way they treat you. You are your own person, don't be afraid to embrace it just because you fear disapproval.
  10. In no particular order, this is my ten of sorts. More or less rounds up who I've spoken to extensively through either threads or the chat, all of them great people. Shame I can only list ten, though, but I'd hate to inundate you all! Bowl Mr. Wobbels Zoop Moose Devin McCourty LARP Strafe NewCalamity Quan Shank
  11. You shouldn't have to explain yourself. You're a fan of a TV show, not some enthusiast of sexual deviancy. If your dad has a problem, that's exactly what it is - his problem! If you don't want things to get awkward between you two, try not to let being a brony define who you are as a person; it should only be a part of your persona, not a dominating factor that inundates anyone and everyone who knows and interacts with you. Just continue being amiable with him - you are his son, after all, ponies shouldn't drive a wedge between you! - and you should be fine. Just as it takes two to tango, it takes two to make something awkward... and, believe me, bronydom is not really anywhere near as bad as some other hobbies or fandoms to be a part of. Totally not worth getting embarrassed over but, remember, not getting embarrassed and being campy with your fandom are two different things. Being a brony is one thing. Shoving it down the throat of people who may not give a damn with references galore and whatnot is another, much worse reality.
  12. Drapion for me, entirely, both on account of its typing and looks.
  13. Beast, from the X-Men universe. Basically a total brain who gets mutated into, well, a feral beast while still retaining his erudition. It's a nice usage of contrast the way he's developed.
  14. Two lines. Glorious. I am going to fail my English class because I cannot be fucked to pontificate on a movie, of all things.

      Highschool? Fake it. The only thing I learned in school was to kiss ass :x

      I remember flopping my grade 7 music class simply because I didn't feel like playing the clarinet or the trumpet. The funny thing is that it went from a 55 to a 75 as soon as it switched over to vocal music.

  15. Huh, eight o' clock. Might be a good time to start that three page paper I had about a week to do.

      9:26. "To me, no teen movie is more iconic of 80s cinema than John Hughes' 'The Breakfast Club,' a movie that takes typical high school cliches and archetypes and crushes them in--"

  16. While I do admit at chuckling at your noting of such a double entendre, I have to diffuse it a tad seeing as I'm quite heavy on submission and whatnot! Taking any realm of dominant role in that regard is kind of not in my taste, mm? That all said, I do find such behavior amplified entirely by the drowsiness that late nights seem to bring me. I suppose, given other replies in this thread, my scenario isn't half bad. [[Omg, right? I'm such a huge fan of Jay's work on LMR, as an enthusiast in both fields Rarity and masochist~]]
  17. Haha, I could totally see that! But I really do mean full-on kinky hellion with it when I say that, it's somewhat overwhelming for those on the receiving end!
  18. This is what I have set to play whenever my train leaves the tunnel and becomes bathed in sunlight. Quite sexy. http://www.indieshuffle.com/swedish-house-mafia-vs-miike-snow-silvia-to-ibiza-myndset-mashup/

  19. I've grown nicer, if anything. Bronydom has been a sort of penance for me, if you will, and it's mellowed me out quite nicely.
  20. Sexual innuendo. Lots and lots of sexual innuendo.
  21. >no chance to win rarity >no chance of me joining Good luck, though, this sounds fun!
  22. Oh, God, that Rasta one is just perfect. I know someone that would totally die if I got it for him! Tokidoki makes some pretty cute merchandise, I have to say.
  23. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder Maybe this might help? I'm not too sure.
