Hoity Toity and Photo Finish. -
And not very good, in my experience.

What would you say would be the busiest day, not just as far as panels/special guests go and general attendance?
-
Have you tried looking for meetups on places like meetup.com in your area?

I'm listening to Azealia Banks' 212 over and over.

Dark Souls 2. Though I may put it off and go back to playing GTA:V, Skyrim, or New Vegas (on my PC), because all of my friends are waiting to play Dark Souls 2 on PC, and I want to be able to nerd out with them/ask for advice and not spoil anything.

I'd say a lot of my diet involves caffeine (on a daily basis, I probably consume the equivalent of one strong pot of coffee, at least of caffeine), due to my social and work schedules, which more often than not do not match. So yeah, I don't sleep a lot.

A lot of people are no doubt taking pictures, too.

Touché. I guess I could say "of legal drinking age". It's makes me feel odd being the only one that can order wine at dinner.

I wouldn't mind doing this, as this is going to be my first time in San Fran, and one of the reasons I opted to come in Thursday was so I had time for some sightseeing before the con. It would also be nice to meet more brony fronds. I also wouldn't worry about being too old. I've gone to meetups where everybody was in the 12-19 age range, which made me feel like a dinosaur. I think it's all the better to hang around a more mature crowd.

Uuuuuuugh, why didn't I buy the high society pass? Also, a word of advice for anyone who is making Babscon their first con: Fill out the alias/nickname (I forgot what it was called, exactly) section of your badge, be with with a popular online alias, your OC pony's name, or even just your first name. The first con I ever went to, several years ago, I made the mistake of not filling it and was the only person in a group of over a dozen with their real, full name on their badge.

I really hate the general tumblr mentality regarding gender and orientation especially. I think it's political correctness turned rabid and feel that it does more harm and alienates a lot of people. especially younger people, who are gay/trans and struggling. I also think half of that tumblr witchhunt is perpetrated by people who are heterosexual in real life and perfectly comfortable with their gender/sexuality.

I think there's two types of first kisses, though for some people, they're one in the same. There's a first kiss that is just a kiss, and then a first real kiss. I had honestly kissed a small handful of people before I actually had my first real kiss - as in, one that made you feel giddy and all that, and it took a few years to get that. It was with a friend who I've known for years and finally visited (they live overseas, so we had not ever actually seen each other). My first kiss overall was unremarkable - in the sense that that circumstances were far from ideal and not worth mentioning.

There are way too many stories that I've seen in the recent years about harassment on the internet, which equally depresses and disgusts me, and what's worse is that anything helping with those issues are slow to take effect or non-existent. In the past, I tried a lot of tactics when it came to bullies, from ignoring to retaliating against them (the latter tends to backfire horribly, not so much because of what they do, but in most cases, you come off looking as the one in the wrong, either for being the bully all along or for 'white knighting'), and it's, in all honesty, a frustrating situation all around. The best nugget of wisdom I can give is that people do mature (or if you want to be cynical about it, lose interest). As I mentioned before, bullying does stem from chain reactions, and it is sadly a facet of human behavior. If one person is picked on, they can (but this doesn't necessarily mean everyone will) go on do the same to people that they deem as 'weaker'. But in my opinion, liking My Little Pony is far from weak, in fact, being open about it as a teenager/young adult male takes a lot of the qualities the show does promote (the courage to be yourself, regardless of what others will think, as an example), it would just be nice if they could take in some of those lessons as well, like acceptance and tolerance. I also think some of the MLP-related bullying does stem from some of the negative connotations with brony culture, which is horrible, because "bronies" have probably been some of the nicest people I've come across, especially compared a few of the other fandoms I'm into, or were into at a point. I just wish more people would take the time to talk to people and see that. After all this rambling, I don't feel like I was much help, though. -
I wonder when/how society's shift changed in regards to bullies, or why it became an issue that was actually spoken about and recognized as a problem, versus when I was younger, when behavior that was clearly "bullying" was passed off as healthy social mentality, and anyone that complained about it was labelled a snitch/tattletale or were told they just needed to deal with it/it was their fault. Maybe the internet? But to be a little more on topic, I think bullying affects people negatively in more ways than one, not only does it kill someone's confidence in themselves and in some extreme cases, hinders the overall quality of their life, in some people in makes them want to adapt to bullying behavior, which creates a nasty chain that threatens never to break.

I will be Rarity/Slaverty/Fatity/what have you from pony.mov, maybe.
