I wouldn't say I have a particuarly interesting story... perhaps even the opposite, and one I've seen many others have.
Basically, I was wondering what all the fuss was about with this My Little Pony thing and all the people with it as their avatars and making references. So I thought I'd have a look at an episode on YouTube to see what it was like. I watched it with mild skepticism, but quickly found myself laughing along with the jokes and liking the characters (even though I still had no idea what was going on).
I left it for a few months and just recently (about a week ago) thought: "Y'know what, I'm just gonna start watching this properly and I'll see if I like it." And, well, 2 episodes later, here we are!
