@LyraLover ⚡better be careful, you wouldn’t want to tear a gap in the space time continuum through your foolish actions

-
@Princess of Luck 🍀⚡🔥 We won't. Lyra and I are responsible ponies.

@Tacodidra I'm still getting used to it myself.

Still, having my own OC as my avatar is really cool!

I wasn't able to do a special drawing to mark the occasion, but I can still post a status update about it.
The day was May 27, 2017. I was 14 years old, and 8th grade had been a somewhat difficult year for me for various reasons. I was sitting in my room on this Saturday night, not really doing much, when for some reason I thought of MLP. I'd known about the existence of an MLP fandom for a couple years, but had never watched the show myself. It seemed cute but also a bit too girly for my liking. However, since I wasn't sure what else to do, I decided to look up the first episode and see it for myself.
I watched the first episode in fragments on YouTube, since I couldn't find it anywhere else. It somewhat intrigued me, so I watched the second episode as well. Then the third episode, and then the fourth. Before long, I was hooked on the show, and I had selected Fluttershy as my favorite pony.
I kept my interest of MLP secret from my parents for about a month, but on June 30 I finally told them. They thought it was weird at first, but gradually came to accept it. A week later I ordered a Fluttershy plushie on Amazon, because I'd developed quite a crush on her while watching Seasons 1 & 2. She'd become the waifu I didn't think I would ever have.
Over the summer of 2017, I binge-watched the first 6 seasons of MLP, and watched season 7 in the fall. I watched all four Equestria Girls movies in December, and the MLP movie in January 2018. I'd also created a character to represent me in pony form. His name, of course, was Sky Scraper, and I shipped him with Fluttershy.
Enjoying MLP by myself was all fine and good, but I eventually wanted to bond with others over it. I knew about the existence of this forum, but I was hesitant to join because I was worried that others wouldn't like me or think I was too immature. During the spring of 2018, I tried to write an Equestria Girls story about Sky Scraper and Fluttershy, but struggled mightily with it and eventually gave up. So on July 25, I bit the bullet and joined these very forums, with the username shyabetes3939. I wasn't expecting a lot, but I figured that maybe I could at least get some writing advice.
My first day on the forums greatly exceeded expectations. @Rikifive warmly welcomed me to the herd, and by the end of the day @Sherbie-kun ⚡⚡ and I were talking like old friends. Over the remainder of the summer, I met many more friends such as @Mellow Mane 🍀 @Tacodidra @DivineKnight1000 and @Twilight Luna. All of my great friends on the forums made 2018 a much better year than 2017.
In January 2019, Lyra overtook Fluttershy and became my new waifu. To reflect that, I changed my username to lyrabetes3939. I've said before that 2019 was by far the best year of my life, and a lot of that is thanks to all the friends I've made on the forums. When I first joined I was insecure about many things, both MLP-related and not, but by the time 2019 began I had become fully integrated into the community. I really grew up over the course of 2019, and I must thank MLP and all of my friends here.
The show came to an end just two years after I started watching it, but I didn't enjoy the last two seasons of it anyway. Seasons 8 & 9 didn't feel like the same show as 1-7, and I had no interest in them.
So here I am now, exactly three years to the day I watched the first episode of MLP on a completely random whim. If I hadn't gotten into MLP, who knows what kind of person I'd be now. Merry bronyversary to me, and if you're my friend reading this, a heartfelt "thank you" to you.

@Princess of Luck 🍀⚡🔥 Sounds good to me! I'm sure we could come up with a trend of our own.

It sure was one of the best decisions you could ever make.

I also started with EQG movies @Princess of Luck 🍀⚡🔥

What an annoying day.
Why can't this shithouse of a month be over already?

@Tacodidra *hugs back* I hope so too.

@Sherbie-kun ⚡⚡ true, but it is most likely that my neighbours go to the same school. Doesn;t matter about where they live, it matters about where the school that they go to is.
I travel 1.5 hours to go from my house to my school lol, it's three whole boroughs away
so chances are my neighbours don;t actually go to the same school

Even when she's angry, Lyra is still so cute.

@TomDaBombMLP Mine too!

The "mistakes" you pointed out weren't actually mistakes. In English, it is correct to use the present tense rather than the past tense in those sentences.

Probably should have done a separate status for this, lol

@LyraLover ⚡ Hello there my awesome friend! I'm spending the day with Luna today!

-
Would my ponysona's birthday be the same as my birthday (since he's me as a pony), or would it be the day I created him?

@Princess of Bolts ⚡🔥⚡ As long as you don't try to steal me away, I won't hurt you.

@Bas The Princess was threatening to steal Lyra away from me, and I was having none of it.

-
@LyraLover ⚡ Oh well I'm sorry but I have to steal you away from Sky

Today has been a much better day than yesterday. The weather's amazing, I went to a park this afternoon, and I finally got all that math shit figured out.
