My parents know and they do not approve of it. But that's to be expected, they hate everything I like, fandom/media wise. They say the anime/manga I like is stupid, Sofia the First is stupid, Ever After High is stupid, Barbie movies are stupid, etc...And my being a brony just adds to the "concern" they have for me. I think they're afraid I'll never grow up and move out because my being in fandoms is keeping me from finding a man or something redonk like that (which, BTW they are WAY too concerned about). My father once asked me "why can't you be normal?" And my mother admitted that, "I hate your ponies." But in the end, I have a job and a paycheck and when I get spare income I can and will buy ponies and they can't do anything about it...Except shake their heads and say it's dumb. Which actually hurts enough on its own. Because I want them to be proud of/like me, but sometimes I feel like I'm just letting them down. But at the same time, I just CAN'T not be in fandoms. It's a vicious cycle.

Thank you! I'll have to post an updated pic of Rarity's wardrobe at some point. It's actually kind of getting out of hand. Luckily, she does like to share with the others.

Sorry I haven't be around in awhile! I've just been busy with work and my writing is all. Have some more Rarity!

OMG, YOU too?! I absolutely despise blood tests! Last time, they had to stick BOTH my arms! It was not pleasant. Anyway, June 2nd was MY Rarity's Birthday! (According to her BaB certificate, that's when she came home with me) And this is what she got! Because Mummy is a sucker. XD Though, in my defence, two of those dresses WERE on clearance.

I only ever regret it when my parents give me crap about it. In fact, sometimes I wish I could re-wire myself into being a normal twenty-one-year-old woman just so they would shut up. But, I just can't. (Yeah, it's weird. I'm a GIRL. A person expected to like cute things...And I get crap about this.) I get sick of being told to "stop buying pony crap" and to "grow up." Heck, even my Aunt told my Dad that he should "straighten me out." I know, I know, everyone else's problems are a lot worse, but this still bugs me. My parents are rather old-fashioned, you see. They basically operate on the idea that once I turned eighteen, I should have just became a grownup and moved on. They just don't understand that things are different and times are changed and that it's OKAY for young adults to be invested in fandoms and collect things like I do. That, just because they don't think it's "appropriate" doesn't mean other people do. In fact, they told me that, it's so NOT okay for guys to be bronies at all and that they're either all gay or losers who live in their parents' basement. I'm not easily offended, but that pissed me off. I have guy friends who are bronies who are perfectly "normal" people! To put it simply, they just don't get it. And I don't think they ever will. Trying to defend ANY part of my fandom life to them is like talking to a bloody wall. You think they would just be happy I don't smoke or drink or have two kids like everyone else my age. But, no. I worry them. However, despite this. I still ADORE and will continue to be a part this fandom. In fact, met one of my best friends (on-line) through this forum! And I love how we're all a community and how there's always something new to discover about the show or the fandom. For example, I suck at analysing this show, but others are awesome with it! And really help give me insight to the hidden things in it, since I tend to be interested in the production aspects of the shows I like. This fandom is awesome. I like the community feel and how, for the most part, I've always felt like what I had to say in it was relevant, albeit mundane.

The latest piece of merch I own, a friend actually bought for me. It was this pony cup . And I also got Luna AND Cadance. Together. For $23. How? I hoarded $30 worth of Build-a-Bear coupons and used them all at once. Though, I don't think the lady at the register was amused. XD I have their outfits too, BTW. They're just not wearing them in this picture.

Hello Everypony! I know it's been awhile...I just haven't found anything particularly interesting to share until recently...Kind of happens when you get stuck at home with no money... Anyway, about a week ago, my friend and I went to a supermarket and found a TY display...With ONE lone Rarity. Now, we didn't buy here, because I already have one...But I DID fix her hair. it was atrocious before I got a hold of her. This was the result: Plus, for Easter the same friend got me a tiny TY Rarity keychain! And one of those cute, freezable cups...Featuring her! In other words, I've had a lot of nice, Rarity encounters lately!

Long time, no see Darlings! I've been busy with some stuff...But I went out with my friend yesterday. We were just wasting time in places like Target and Kmart and...Look what I found! Fabulous things!!! My only complaint? I feel like they should have used a better colour...like purple for the keychain. Also, after she got voted most attractive pony, Rarity got a nice new dress (and matching bows)! Because she deserved it. And because Mummy is a sucker.
