My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Pinkie Pie How did you find MLP Forums?: Friend shot me with a link.
How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I was babysitting my two young nieces, and they chose to watch the show. Naturally, I rolled my eyes and said, "Sure. What kind of ponies?" They named off the 'Mane Six,' and said unanimously, "Friendship is Magic!" Well, it was more of a jumble of words about ponies, friends, magic and princesses, so I looked up the show on Netflix. I found the first season (it was in the middle of Season Two at the time) with their help, and, well, you know what happened from there. Fell in love with the show and everything pony.
I am a grammar Nazi, and First generation American born and raised in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Chicago. I'm currently enlisted as a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, although I'll be finished with my Term come October. I'm also an active participant in the SCA when I'm not flogged by work on base, and my hobbies include drawing (I kinda suck at it right now), writing and/or editing FanFiction (not just ponies), welding junk metal into sculptures, forging armor, camping and hunting, and cooking fish on my big blue Hummer's diesel engine block. Yeah, I do that; it's actually not half bad.
Oh, and I'm also not a Brony. That term has pretty much been mutilated by society, so I prefer the term: mature male individual who enjoys seeing colorful little equines in a television series about friendship. It's a mouthful, but it works better than being associated with the worst of the fandom.
