WOW I love it SO MUCH!!! *hugs you so so so hard (unless you don't like hugging, because some people don't, so if you don't then just ignore this)* It's beautiful. Thank you very much. By the way, do you have a DeviantArt or something of the sort? ~Leafy

I have no problem with people drinking, but I don't like alcohol myself. I don't like how it tastes or smells and I don't like being around it. I hate when people think I'm a prude because I don't like to be around it; it's not that. It's that I can't stand the smell. Also I have a fear of people spilling drinks on my stuff. It's happened before. That tends to happen more when people drink. Beer is sticky and gross smelling when it's on one of my toys. Basically, I'm fine if you drink, I just don't want to be around it. ~Leafy Edit: Eeep... "toys" probably sounds like sex toy, I mean actual toy, like kids play with. I've been playing with toys my whole life, ponies included

Anytime I witnessed bullying it was usually happening to me, and I never stood up to it, because it was the kind that was low-key and could be confused with people just playfully joking (though I know it wasn't). Not telling anybody or standing up to it (just keeping it inside and letting it fester until I was scared of everyone at every moment) led me to nearly become a murderer, but somehow I was able to barely scrape by out of high school and I was just fine. I was not right in the head. There was one time, though, in middle school that I saw a girl being made fun of. She was trying to bark and growl to scare off her bullies. I regret not doing anything about it, or at least going up to her later and talking with her about it. I was too shy and scared. Since joining Facebook, 99.9% of bullying that I've seen has happened on the Internet. When I didn't know better, I got into a bit of an argument on a band's Facebook page. One guy was threatening me and another guy that he would beat us up and kill us if he ever saw us because we were into "emo" music. He claimed that he was tracking the other guy down. I started talking with the other guy and (keep in mind that I was not in my right mind at the time) told him that if he was going down, I would be there to protect him and I'd gladly die if it meant that this asshole would spend the rest of his life in jail. I might have attempted to go through with it too, finding a way to bus it across the country, if I hadn't been hospitalized soon after the argument and realized how stupid I was being. Now that I'm mentally healthy (as I'll ever be, at least) I can say that I'll stand up to bullying if I see it happen, but I won't risk my life. I don't think it's worth it. It won't make them realize anything, it'll only make them happy. Also, seeing everyones' stories about standing up to bullies warmed my heart. ~Leafy

I started a blog when I realized that a lot of my friends have a tumblr, and made about 3 posts. It's basically just about me. Then I remembered that I'm really not interesting and I pretty much live on Facebook anyway... haha... yeah. I want to make an Ask tumblr for my OC but I'm mediocre at drawing and terrible at remembering/forcing myself to draw. So I probably won't do that. But in case I post more, here's my pathetic blog: http://rikkirainbowleaf.tumblr.com/ ~Leafy

It would be awesome if you could draw my OC... I love your style! It's one of my favorites. Her name is Leaf Cascade and she's my profile picture. She has dark green eyes. Here's a link to her cutie mark: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/348/4/c/4c347210c1de0e5289bf660867b8b1ca-d5o2c3a.png She's an Earth pony and her talent is making the leaves fall. Thanks in advance ~Leafy

I'm not one for bragging, but when it comes to my car, I could just gush and gush about it! The thought of choosing a car always intimidated me- I'm not manly or into cars/bikes and know nothing about them. But my parents bought me this beautiful, practical, perfect car for my 18th birthday. It's a candy-apple-red 2003 Pontiac Vibe... no fancy sports car by any means but it's perfect for me. http://www.siliconeer.com/past_issues/2003/nov_2003_files/nov_03_auto_pontiac_vibe_1.jpg It's basically that, except with black on the bottom, and a bit banged up/some scuffs on the paint job. I have a Rainbow Dash sticker on my gas thing. It's been through a lot- I got rear-ended and pushed into the car in front of me around Thanksgiving last year, and I thought for sure my precious car would be totaled. However, they were able to fix it up good as new! (Almost...) The AC is strangely loud but other than that, it's good. I'm so grateful for my Vibe. I love it to death. It's my first car and I don't want anything to ever happen to it. And its name... keep in mind I was 18 and filled with testosterone- Chick Magnet. Original, I know. I got attached to it though. I got this crazy idea in my head of using my car to pick up chicks (though I knew it would never work) so it doesn't really fit now that I have a girlfriend who will eventually become my wife. Oh well. In short, my pride and joy, my.... Chick Magnet. ~Leafy

I used to have tons of fears and phobias... spent my whole life terrified of everything up until my anti-anxiety-and-depression meds started kicking in. Now I feel like I can actually do things! I was scared of spiders, bees, wasps, mosquitos, anything medical especially needles, school, talking to people especially adults, men, burglars and people coming in the house to kill us, bullies following me home and killing me, earthquakes, fires, bombs, plagues and diseases, government spying on me and exposing me and everything I've ever done and said to the world, heck I was even scared of people looking at me! Now, I'm mostly just scared of medical stuff and still have some anxiety about things. I get really scared in large spaces, especially if they're crowded. But I think I'm slowly getting over everything. ~Leafy

I have a question. I've noticed a ton of people saying that they hated Cars and Cars 2. It's been forever since I've seen Cars, and I haven't seen the sequel, but I'm wondering what everyone dislikes about the movie? Not trying to defend it since I don't really remember it, I'm just curious. I don't remember disliking it for any reason. ~Leafy

I'm not going to start/continue a flame war, though a few of the comments here have angered me, but we're here to have a friendly discussion, right? And these are all opinions, I shouldn't get upset over someone hating me without having met me. *slight sarcasm, couldn't help it, please ignore it* Just wanted to say, to the people arguing over what's an unpopular opinion and whatnot: sure, some of these opinions may be popular or unpopular on the internet or in society as a whole. But it really depends who you associate with and who you talk to. For example, if you live in a conservative town and you're a Democrat, you're going to have an unpopular opinion in that town, and same goes for the opposite. Who cares? People are venting about things that they are put down for believing. Whether that opinion is generally popular or unpopular, they're bashed for it. Let them vent, thats' what this topic is for, no? And here are a few of mine (things I've been put down for thinking/feeling): Justin Bieber and other celebrities do not deserve to die. *Gasp!* No one, save perhaps murderers and rapists, and that is a COMPLETELY different debate that I have no stand on, deserves to die. I'm sick of "Go die" "Go jump off a cliff" "I hope you cut yourself to death" etc. Have some humanity. People should not be put down for their religion or lack of religion. How elementary is this? Being intelligent does not make you a better person. Really don't want to come off as mean or anything. I try not to be. These are just my opinions and I know I'm going to get hate for it, oh well ~Leafy

I've been trying to get a job for some time, with no luck, because I have no paid experience and didn't do any work or volunteering in high school. I have no talents and dropped out of college due to learning disabilities. I'm going to take a class for Administrative Office Assisting, so hopefully that will help land me a job *fingers crossed!* I have two dream jobs. One is to help kids with special needs; Autism, learning disabilities, depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. because I know what they go through. One of my main passions is Psychology, which was in fact the only curricular class I got an A in in college. But since I can't get a degree, this dream is out of the question. I also love creating and designing things, specifically jewelry. It's one of the only things I'm kind of decent at. But I can't make enough to support me, my girlfriend and future kid on selling crappy handmade jewelry. It's my other passion but it can't lead anywhere either. So basically, office work for me! It's my only hope so please work out! XD ~Leafy P.S. I'm so sorry to vent! I just need to. Very badly.

I always wanted to name my daughter Lillian Rose, and if I had another one, Evelyn. I like Damien for a boy. Sadly, I'll never be able to name my child, unless I could adopt an infant, but it's very difficult to do that and I would feel bad not adopting an older child with much less chance of being adopted. I suppose I could have a child of my own if my girlfriend (future wife) or I went to a sperm bank, but there's probably a slim chance we'll do that. I'm biologically female so I can't impregnate her or vise versa xD But yeah, Lillian Rose. Dream daughter name. ~Leafy

I'm not really into superhero or action movies. I'll watch superhero movies if my friends are watching them but in general, movies about car chases, gun shooting and people beating each other up bore me. I'll give any movie a chance especially if I'm told it has a good storyline, can make you think, etc. The thing that annoys me the most is because I'm friends with a lot of self-proclaimed "nerds/geeks" and love a lot of the same things as they do, they automatically assume I'm into comic books and superheroes like they are. I don't mean anything bad about them or the things they like but it annoys me when everyone constantly asks me "Have you seen this? Have you seen that? What did you think of 'Man of Steel'?", etc. I don't have any interest in those movies and I feel bad telling people that. ~Leafy

I used to write poetry constantly (and songs too) but the past few years my creativity has kind of gone down the drain, all I really do now is make jewelry and I do nothing with words. I think I have a few semi-decent poems stashed away somewhere. Here's probably my most recent poem, written about my girlfriend's pony OC (she's a weather pony and her specialty is storms): First she constructs an amassment of clouds Heavy with the precipitation they shroud Rising in density, they crackle electricity Until they are ready to burst with intensity Powerful hooves strike cumulonimbus Creating an explosion of a mighty tempest She sails the storm in wings of feathers Strong enough to battle the perilous weather Rain that bites, turns fur to ice Lightning splitting cracks in the sky Where other pegasi would surely die My little stormmaker lives to ride Maybe if I find my spider poem I'll share that as well, that was probably my best. ~Leafy

If you could draw my OC that would be great, she's my profile picture and here is an up-close of her cutie mark: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/348/4/c/4c347210c1de0e5289bf660867b8b1ca-d5o2c3a.png Her name, like my username, is Leaf Cascade. She has dark green eyes that, when drawn in the show's style, are Twilight's eye shape. Hmm, what style? Try whatever you want! I don't care, as long as it fits Leafy's personality: fun-loving, optimistic, kind of quirky, peaceful and nature-loving. If you don't get around to it that's fine. I love the idea of experimenting with different styles! Hope you have fun with Leafy if you draw her! Thanks, ~Leafy

I try to treat people equally unless they give me a good reason not to. I treat everyone with respect; it's just how I was born. However, if someone says something mean to me, or if I witness them hurting another person, etc, then that is when I treat them differently. I show them in the politest way possible that what they do is not appreciated and that I will call authorities or take matters into my own hands if need be. I'm for justice and peace so I won't stand for rudeness or cruelty. However, it bothers me when people automatically treat certain people lesser just by their appearance or a few actions. Like if people are faced with a conservatively dressed woman and a less conservatively dressed woman, and they automatically assume that the former is worthy of more respect. In my opinion, treat people equally until they give you a reason not to. Appearances do NOT count. ~Leafy

Migraine. For me, there is nothing worse than a migraine. The really bad ones make me want to kill myself but I can't see or walk well with a migraine, so luckily (unluckily in the moment) I can't really access any weapons or have the strength to do anything. But it's that trapped feeling that I need so desperately out of the pain but can't do anything about it but cry... it's the worst. No medicines work except prescriptions that I can't get. Luckily the suicide-inspiring migraines don't happen often! ~Leafy
