I'm an INFJ all the way and I find that I know how to meet a lot of other INFJs despite how many people say INFJs are the rarest personality type 

To be fair, these two have their cute moments 

Me just before my 26th birthday! Squawk, I'm holding a macaw (I think?)

Kaspersky's expensive, but it does the job for me  . Otherwise, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender are good

All I need in this request is a snowy themed poster with a format like the one in the spoilers. Just make sure there's blanks for the icon and the name.

Also, I need enough room at the top to place a logo. 

Thanks!

It was a very bittersweet moment seeing the CMCs finally get their cutie marks. They found their destiny in life quite sooner than I expected and they did in such a way that would reform Diamond Tiara. That being said, I felt that the things that happened with Diamond Tiara with her mother felt very rushed, but that's beside the point.

I don't think CMC episodes will go completely dry. They could spend their time helping others find their cutie marks in life, or perhaps help the Mane 6 on their adventures. Perhaps there would be more things going on within the schoolhouse or beyond Equestria that require their help.

Then there's the CMCs actually using their talents. Sweetie Belle could go on facing her fears (a nod to her first appearance) when it comes to singing, Applebloom could learn to work with construction, and Scootaloo could get involved with extreme sports or something. Just cause they received their cutie marks doesn't mean they can't develop it like the Mane 6 are doing continuously. If it were the case, then the Mane 6 might as well not have any more episodes either. 

See my MLPF Profile pic in all its glory. That is Peanuts me, cutely standing there to say hi to you all. 

Oh sweet! I have to mark my calendar for this day! I'd love to get some fan-fic writing tips, especially since I'm writing my own fanfics for the very first time!

I think a mix of idealist and spiritualist works best for me.

I think guys crying should be fine so long as it's not melodramatic and excessive. Every person needs some time to be sad and to express it some way. It's certainly better than penting up anger and regretting it after unhealthily letting it out.

Well, I guess I'm decently popular because of the MLPF World Cup and the MLPF Couples Thread I set up.

These two videos are the funniest videos I've ever watched. I've never laughed so hard.

I'm already accustomed to it really. It's easy for me to get used to new things in shows. I'm less used to losing things in shows, especially when it came to Twilight's Library.

Element of Poker.

So just yesterday, my supervisor decided to give me a $1000 raise for next year. Money from supervisors for grad school is hard to come by, so this move is huge not just for finances but also for my self-confidence since he really likes the work I've put in this past year.

That's despite the fact I've fought a lot of my negative emotions this past summer and felt weaker from it. So thank God for keeping me strong

You've taken the first step by learning to lean on him already through prayer, so you're getting there. As a fellow Christian, I will definitely pray for you. The hard part will be to give all your pain to him, and not just some of it. He is here to walk you through it, and he wants you to dump it all on him, because he wants to take your burden away from you.

It's been a hard few months, but yeah. The past few months have really been a time where I've read the Bible more and sought out His wisdom. It's been hard giving all my pain to Him because it just feels like He's turning my best friends into strangers/enemies in one fell swoop. But I'm moving forward... I'm moving forward in Jesus, even if hard. 

Sometimes you need to be insistent about your prayers. If one gets everything right away, there are the risk of becoming lazy or not giving enough value to what you got. ANd it might also be that it is not yet the proper time to get what you want.

 

This reminds me of this Bible passage:

 

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

²¹ Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”

²³ Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

²⁴ He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

²⁵ The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

²⁶ He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

²⁷ “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

²⁸ Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

 

(Matthew 15:21-28)

 

 

 

That is cool! I took some classes on Microbiology back in undergraduate college, and my Chemistry degree have a bias towards Biotechnology. Now I am doing my doctorate.

 

Here are some pictures of my University for anyone who is curious: https://goo.gl/photos/Nxb9fZoogXUZRodJ9

 

Here is the research group I am on (I am the one in the front with a black shirt):

We study lanthanide materials, which can be used as light emitting materials and have applications like: in screens, medical diagnosis, illumination (for example, fluorescent lamps), anti-counterfeit measures for documents and money, signaling, etc.

That is so cool! You're doing your doctorate?! And about such an interesting type of material too! Which university are you attending? I'm at McMaster University's Biology Department. Our lab actually took pictures of all of us, but I don't have those pics yet. I'll show em once I get them ready! We also have a lab site, but it still needs to be updated.

Yeah... Perhaps I need more faith that God's working through my friend too... That perhaps once day things will get better between us, even if it seems impossible. Or that He's teaching me to have faith as strong as the Caananite woman even when I feel weak.

I will be praying for you too!

 

By the way, if I remember well from an old post of yours in this thread, you also study and do scientific research. If I recall correctly, you are from the Biology area. Mine is Chemistry.

Thanks a lot And yes, my specialization is biology! I'm focusing on microbiology though.

You've taken the first step by learning to lean on him already through prayer, so you're getting there. As a fellow Christian, I will definitely pray for you.

Yeah I've prayed a lot about my problems, but I'm struggling because I feel as if God's not answering. I guess I'm also really sad that one of my closest friends has now become a stranger... perhaps even an enemy because of my wrongdoing. I know I've been saved by Jesus, but it's hard to believe because it just feels like I'm losing all the friends I loved.

Yeah, no problem Sterling. Just hang in there, okay buddy?

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I'm still hanging strong, but I need to learn to trust God a lot more, even if things aren't very clear or straight for me right now.

I guess you can sum up my struggles with Psalm 88.

Well I've had to live with anxiety and sadness for the whole summer, and while I'm recovering, I'm still hurt inside. Can you guys pray so I can learn to rely more on Jesus? Thanks.

"Pokemon? What's Pokemon? Is that some weird thingyabob you guys own as pets?"

*giggles* Oh Sterling... I don't actually play Pokemon all that much, and I never did when I was a kid. But I do know my Pokemon because of my friends. I will like the cutest of the Pokemon that's for sure, like Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

"Oh wow... That's a really broad question... Honestly, I have no idea, although I really appreciate bacteria. It's part of my Masters work you see?"

"Ewww... bacteria?! Paul, you work with poop for goodness sake! EWWW!"

"Oh shush you. Sometimes the most important things in our lives are the most disgusting, like our guts."

I have three different fanfictions I'd like people to read. I guess I can give you my username on Fimfiction, which is Postan92. Here's my stories here:

https://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=category&user=114317

If you want the individual stories, here they are:

Civilization: The World on Your Hooves is a romantic, slice of life fanfic. It's a work in progress and will have weekly update.

Bucking my Feelings Away is a one-shot romantic, slice of life crossover fanfic. This fanfic is completed.

The Huebirds of Happiness is an ongoing slice-of-life roleplay. This is also a work in progress and will be updated weekly.

Hey guys!

I made my very first one-shot fimfic, featuring Mr. and Mrs. Cake! I hope you enjoy this romance fic!

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/283218/bucking-my-feelings-away

First off, I'm a roleplayer. I used to roleplay a lot on the forums before realizing that roleplays die way too fast. I wanted to make my own story even though I've never previously written a fan-fiction of any kind. So here I present to you my first fan-fiction. It's an ongoing story that will eventually feature one of my favourite ships in the show.

I hope you enjoy. I'll probs be updating the story every weekend (or whenever I get more story ideas ). I welcome any constructive feedback about my story too since I'm new to this. 

Well, here's the story. Enjoy!
