Pinkie-Guy

This is perpetually a work in progress.

My reaction to watching through FiM for the first time:

I'm like both Pinkie Pie and Twilight, but my heart is with Pinkie. While I'm not an extrovert like Pinkie, I am very outgoing with people I know. I'm intelligent and I read a lot of stuff so I share similarities with Twilight, but I understand Pinkie on a different level. I saw my reflection in her starting from Giggle at the Ghosties, which I did myself to fight bad dreams when I very young. From ponies not taking her seriously in Swarm of the Century because they think Pinkie's just being Pinkie, to her despondence in Party of One over her friends, to her relationship with responsibility in Baby Cakes, to her general obliviousness and how she can steamroll other ponies, to her being called random so many times, to her sense of humor, I can say I was in the exact same moments myself many times. She shares my desire to make everything fun and light, and I've even been called pink myself (skin tone). In fact, my earliest favorite color was pink until I learned it was a girl's color and I quickly renounced it. My twilight side just makes me a bit more dry.

As to Twilight, I'm nerdy and I have lots of excess knowledge about lots of things. I read about whatever I find interesting and I just pick stuff up. Because I have such random knowledge, I can end up doing or saying things that appear to be just that, random, in a very Pinkie way. I'm very analytical and logical so I can break things down well. Twilight and I both have the need to put things exactly in order. We both seek out knowledge on a regular basis just for learning's sake and we both feel the pressure to live up to our innate abilities. Twilight doesn't know how to live up to being a princess and I don't know how to live up to what's been said of my potential either.

I've been in a couple punk bands playing guitar. It's been a while since I've been in a band, but the act of playing in a band with a bunch of friends is one of the greatest feelings in the world. The whole ponifying thing in Rainbow Rocks makes a ton of sense to me. When I'm playing in a band and really into it, I'm even more like Pinkie than normal. I'm gonna have to get back to this later to better describe the feeling.

I'll finish this later...

Oh, and I work at a library. I guess that makes a bit more like Twilight.
