My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack How did you find MLP Forums?: Friends Reference How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: long story, details in post. I've been on these forums for a while but i never really used them, i'm trying to use them a little more now. So my name is Austin, but i go by AJ because my name means king. I am no king. I was born in 1995 in a small town called St. Louis, MO and i have been living there since. I am black, but just in skin color. Everything else about me does not fit in the skin color at all and i tend to stay away from my default race due to my views and personality. I am incredibly shy by nature so just writing this topic itself is nerve racking because i'm deciding how much to give away about myself. So anyway, ponies are not the center of my universe but they are one of the walls. I like history (not crazy about black history so), preferably WWII. I am a fan of classical music and i've always wanted to learn how to write and compose music (trying to not do the computer music creation but writing music note by note is much harder than it looks), I love trains, specifically the much older steam locomotives. They're big, and incredibly beautiful. I have Aspergers, ADD, and Depression so most times my mood swings can be pretty violent at times... I look at my failures more than my success because my failures have basically carved outt who i am, and my success' haven't. SO: the moment you've all been waiting for: the pony story. So before i got into ponies i kept on hearing more and more and more about them based on postings by friends. MY friends kept on trying to get me into this show and it got annoying and i thought "why would anyone waste their time watching My Little Pony?" and i hated the thought of it. Life really sucked at the time too so i wasn't really in the mood for anything to give me joy and happiness as they were "advertising." Finally they told me to watch just one episode and they'd leave me alone. I agreed, and my first episode of MLP was putting your hoof down. That episode started the ball roll where i watched the season 1 opener, season 2 opener, a couple of episodes here and there, and then lo and behold, i was a brony. At first i hated my friends because of that but then i just learned to embrace it. So yea, here i am. I'm still having problems with my depression and i think it's going to be a part of my life forever, but i just try to get through each and every day with or without friends. So yea, thats me...

144 years ago today at Promontory Summit, Utah, America was finally linked together with a railroad line. Now that the country was linked together with a transcontinental railroad, travel time between the east and west coast was dramatically reduced from 6 months to just under two weeks! Not only did it make travel easier, it lowered prices on many common items as the economy bgan to boom, all thanks to the railroads.

Just a quick reminder that May 11 is National Train Day in the United States. Train Day is usually celebrated the weekend closest to May 10, which also is the date when the transcontinental was completed in 1869. Feel free to go to a lical train station or transportation museum to celebrate americas railroad heritage. Dont be afraid to go "Locomotive"

Ive been actually a victim of looks over personality so, it shows because ive been single for about 3 years now. I just think people will always prefer looks over personality. its a cruel fate :'(

Diseasels! So many diseasels! Im mostly a steam guy so diesels are not my cup of tea on a sunday. So many diseasels, theyre everywhere....

I am african american, but i dont fit the modern stereotype at all but i get basty looks everywhere i go. It sucks to have such a big stereotype that you dont fit into...

Society is on the verge of the next big civil war. I say this because look at everything and all of the tension within the US. Thats all i got.

Hm, my dream car would definetly have to be a Muscle Car from the 60s Nothing like hearing the raw power of a Mustang eengine roar through the street, and plus they are some handsome devils. Gorgeous.

I am a only child. When I was born my birth dad left so my mom was left to raise me while finishing up nursing school and getting her CRNA. I wasn't ery social, and I always felt lonely outside of school. It sucks, but at the same time its nice because ou have time to yourself alot and you are usual in charge of alot of things at an early age.

I am not sure about the ugliest car, there some on here that are pretty ugly. (lets face it, most future concept cars from the 60s and 70s are fairly hideous) but this beauty from shelby, fabulous....

I can see why you thought of thomas when you saw this. City of Truro actually has been on thomas the tank engine before which is funny how you brought this up. (maybe returning home? :3) British steam locomotives are very beautiful, but at the same time I prefer american steamers simply because i believe there is more variety, and they are simply massive (standing next to one, you'd understand why native americans thought they were fire breathing monsters)

heres a bigger one: i have socialpjobia so i am very antisocial, especially since im a brony. Basically i always have been with my mom most times so i guess thats a part of it too.

I would start with the piano, simply because its one of the best ways to start learning about music. Personally i played the piano and then moved onto the pipe organ.

alright well lets see here, a little thing no one knows about me... Ive been playing the piano for 8 years now and i started learning how to play the organ 2 years ago, and ive played for a wedding.

Personally I enjoy watching sports, i don't enjoy playing them. For some people they find sport sboring or unamusing due to the fact that most times it seems like a bunch of people wanting to do nothing but win. This is true, but at the same time from a personal perspective i think that there's something about watching a whole city (2011 World Series, STL cardinals) come on their teams back as the underdog and supporting them the whole way. I find that a very interesting story, and one that you rarely see when it brings people together. Alot of the same things can be said about other interests and hobbies.

isolation is not a bad thing. Sometimes just being away from people is the best way to avoid more stress. Trust me, sometimes isolation is all you need.

I have seen 4006 many times, considering the fact i live literally 3 miles from it's current residence here in St. Louis. Anyhow, since we are on the topic of steam locomotives, I thought i'd share some of my photos of steam trains that have rolled through St. Louis. NKP 765, Maintained by Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society in Indiana. September 2012 Union Pacific 844, Maintained by the Union Pacific Steam Program based in Cheyenne. June 2011 Union Pacific 3985, the closest relative to the Big Boy, maintained by the Union Pacific Steam Program based in Cheyenne, June 2010 To see any of the steam locomotives in person, check to see if their running near you on their respective websites: http://fwrhs.org/ http://upsteam.com/
