    Ambivert

    By Skylight Scintillate,


    Ambivert
    So reading @Magical Mare's blog entry about being an extrovert made me decide to write about being an ambivert. I have taken way more personality tests than I can remember online, and they all say I'm ambivert. I can wholeheartedly say I agree with that.
    As an ambivert, sometimes I need social interaction to recharge, and other times, I need alone time to recharge. Usually when I first meet people, I'm pretty quiet, and I'm not sure what to say. I'm not very good at introductions or making good first impressions. However, when I get to know others well, I can be quite talkative and friendly and really value the friends that I have. This is why I love Twilight -- she gets it. She started out kind of reserved and not the nicest to the others at first, but she became very close friends with the other mane six.

    Why I wouldn't move to Equestria

    By Skylight Scintillate,


    Life in Equestria
    Since the forums in general seems to be obsessed with the idea of living in Equestria, I decided to throw my opinion in. For me, unless if I had the ability to travel back and forth whenever I want, I wouldn't go. This is mostly because of what my skills and hobbies are.
    So I teach programming as an occupation. In addition, most of my skills are related to high tech. For example, web design, computer repair, and photo editing. However, such technology does not exist in Equestria. Plus, it seems like it would take quite a while for ponies to adopt to using such technology, especially the part where they have to figure out how to make it work with their hooves. 
    Now, I know what you are thinking. What about G5? The pegasi have technology then. The first thing is, so far, G5 doesn't really have the same appeal as G4. (Don't get me wrong, it's still good, and again, I would be interested in visiting, but I wouldn't stay there.) In addition, I still can't get over the fact that the pegasi are able to type on their smart phones when their hooves are half the size of the screen. And if I went as a human, well that would just be weird. 
    Then there's the fact that I won't be able to do a lot of my hobbies. For example, if I became a pony there, badminton; Like how exactly am I supposed to hold a racket with hooves? And liking ponies would mean something completely different there. I mean sure, I probably could fanfilly the Mane Six or something. 
    Anyways, that's my random ramble on why I wouldn't move to Equestria. (There's probably more points I could make but I can't think of them off of the top of my head.) Feel free to agree with me or convince me otherwise in the comments below.

    How the School of Friendship could work

    By Skylight Scintillate,


    School of Friendship
    Many MLP fans seem to criticize the School of Friendship and how the idea of Friendship can’t be taught in a traditional setting like a school. While I think that the idea of putting the school in the series was questionable at times, I would argue that having a school of friendship would be possible, and friendship could be taught in a school-like setting. 
    Most of the classes would be like feelings forums, where the students talk about issues of friendship relating to the class that they are in. During the class, students take turns sharing their issues, and their classmates would offer their insights. The elements would mostly be there to guide the students in the right direction and prompt them when they are stuck. (Instead of whatever they were doing in the TV show.)
    The class would also be quite hooves on learning in a way. The classes would have lots of field trips and projects, mainly relating to the teachers providing hypotheticals and having students explain their reasoning using game theory.
