  1. The entire Hunger Games series was totally ruined by Mockingjay. That is possibly one of the worst "popular" books I've ever read. Then again, I've never read Twilight... Harry Potter was and is my favourite series of books. I love it in so many ways, that I can't even begin to describe it. Harry Potter Avada Kedavra's Katniss's dumb bow.
  2. 5. 5 of them are in the pride; the rest are in the Appalachian Mountains. You don't put math questions on the Internet unless they're tricky and/or badly communicated.
  3. I just give up now when people say "LET'S MAKE A BROWNIE LINE HURR HURR GENDER NEUTRALITY". YOU invaded this show. YOU complain when they "cater" to you by plugging a certain character or a funny line or gag. And now, YOU WANT them to come back to the source of this whole show, the toys, and cater to you from the baseline? This community already makes enough of its own product to give Hasbro a run for its money. If you simply want the brony line so that you can say "yeah, I'm a brony so I break gender stereotypes and fight for what I love which is at heart a girly thing, but while you're at it Hasbro can you make it less girly becase I'm embarrassed to be a brony in public?" Then what's the damn point of being a brony if you're not willing to embrace the fact that this show is a show for little girls, that you have come upon? Imagine if you only open your brand-new house to friends and family, but suddenly a huge group of fat neckbeards come in, barf rainbows over how beautiful your house is, but then draw pictures of the house everywhere, be it haunted or make the door a nether orifice, and start demanding you fix the decor. Eventually, you give in and start fixing the decor, but then they complain that you fixed it and you're just giving in to them. Some of this take this thought way too far and ask you to make your house feng-shui, just because they think that they have control over you and that you open them with open arms. Then they ask you to start selling replicas of your furniture, but tone down the colours so that they don't feel embarrassed that they're essentially copying your house. In the beginning, it was really nice because they seemed polite and they drew pretty pictures of your house for you, but they quickly became demented, lazy, and rude. MLP:FiM is a house, people. It's a house open for the target demographic. Hasbro was nice enough to let you in and fix the decor a bit, but now you're complaining that they're not fitting your rules of gender neutrality!? If they toned down the girliness, what's the point of being a brony anymore? You've made your entire mission statement faulty by ruining the original product! Good for you, now move on to Littlest Pet Shop and complain it's mean towards furries. Go the heck on. Some parts of this fandom, seriously. Learn to SIT THERE AND TAKE IT, because it's not your damned show. This fandom is famed for fanart, make some damned fanart. The toys are not for you to play with. They are for the target demographic to play with. Transformers was made to sell the toys to little boys, but then Michael Bae happened. MLP was made to sell My Little Pony toys to little girls, but then Lauren Faust happened. Do you see girls cooped up in their basements with hordes of Transformers, and fanfiction where they ejaculate oil? Heck no! So shut the hell up and realize you're a brony because this show is girly. Keep it that way, or consequences will follow.
  4. On weekends, I'll go anywhere from 12:30 earliest to passing out at 2:45 and waking up around 10:00-11:00 (my internal clock is still very punctual). On weekdays, I'll resist sleep until 11:30-45, then be in bed till I fall asleep at 12:20 and wake up at 7:30, thanks to my alarm clock.
  5. Simon and Garfunkel, Michael Jackson, the Beatles, and more fill my phone's MP3 list (along with ponies, of course). And I'm only in junior high. I'm a very irritable, rant-able insane person, so I once almost passed out after yelling at someone non-stop for a couple minutes because they said "What's Simon and Garfunkel? Is that like a comic between Simon the Cat and Garfield?" Now, at first I excused them because this same person also said "What's a consonant? No, a consonant, not a continent. A continent's like Ontario, right?", but when I explained it to them and starting singing, they said "That sounds really boring. I'm gonna go listen to some One Direction now - they know how to make good music." I think I'm lucky I didn't get a detention for deafening that girl. Unfortunately, I've been playing video games since I was very young, so I was kind of indoctrinated into the graphics-improvement bellcurve. For example, I played Skate 2 before I did Skate 1, and in the beginning of S1, I didn't know what to do with myself because I couldn't get off my board. That's why I love my GameCube so much; I have a mix between 3D and older graphics. Then again, there's something to be said for progress. Adam Lambert, and Adele, they are something.
  6. I'll get on that, but don't expect lines coming in tomorrow. I've got a cold that makes my voice sound like it's full of dust. Hopefully I can stave off puberty long enough...
  7. I'm going to have to agree. Your intelligence should be on your ability to recognize patterns, it should be to develop and/or synthesize them. It should also be more about your problem-solving skills and your work. In the end, however, we mustn't forget booksmarts.
  8. You want a high voice? You got it! I'll look into the Narrator line. I have a friend who does a rockin' Celestia impression and can sing like a boss, but unfortunately she isn't on MLPF... ...yet.
  9. Hoo-wee! 161! Not too bad, especially for someone below the target demographic of the test! (Also, is anyone noticing that the poster isn't showing you how many words you have left anymore?)
  10. Visit the Typing Test and try! This is me being really rusty. My record on a different test, which is more accurate but definitely more difficult, puts me at around 65-70 average and 80 on record pace. Maybe if I practice some more...
  11. I seriously need to get some more games... I have like $40 to burn. Then again, I have 35+ PS3, GameCube, and Wii Games. All I've got's: TF2 CiV AC2 Basement Collection Gmod HL2 demo Portal Portal 2 I've got my eye on CS:GO, but I'm questioning my tastes in FPS games, and I seriously cannot buy ANYTHING on my Mac.
  12. All three of my cultures (French and British for being Canadian, and Hungarian) all use "colour" in their English spellings. I would never use "cull-er" in my life. However, I know people who have given up the "u" because they code HTML too much, so having to remember to switch spellings bothers them. EDIT: On the other hand, I would ultimately like to pronounce it "couleur"...
  13. Name: ping111 Location: Toronto, Canada Fave: Twilight Skype: (currently working on an anonymous Skype account name) Toronto shouldn't be too hard to find on a map - it's pretty big. Also, I have brony Skype friends from around the world - Israel, Denmark, Latvia, and even Wales! I sometimes leave my Skype on, and try and remember where each of them are from...
  14. People who hear my voice, even if that voice explicitly states I am male, always think I am female. The only other real issues I've had relate to being Canadian, Jewish, etc., but it's mainly just jostling, and I don't really care.
  15. I can do Fluttershy, certainly. So, how about it? I'll have an audition for Flutters up as soon as I can. Anything you want said? (boop)
  16. I consider cartoon character's age position to be called "SpongeBob". I say this because SpongeBob is old enough to own a home independently (18), and be applicable for boating/driving lessons (16). However, due to the target demographic of the show, he has to act as if he's in the 7-10 range, maybe a little older on occasion. Due to this huge anomaly, only one inference can be made: IT'S A CELESTIA-DAMNED CARTOON. Now don't get me wrong, I love science as much as the next guy, even more, but there is no maturity-age ratio in young children's cartoons. They age much, much faster than they mature, as to keep the character of the, well, characters, constant as new generations come to watch the show.
  17. My brother just randomly got obsessed with SAW, so I watched SAW VI with him. Wasn't too bad a movie, but very little scary parts, just a whole lot of "ew".
  18. I have a half-Quebec accent, so if I say "salmon" loudly enough it comes out "sah-mohn" and stuff like that. I also speak far too quickly for most people to understand and stumble over my words to the point of borderline speech impediments. Once my jaw widens with puberty I should be able to speak easier.
  19. Welcome to the club. This thought of capitalism ruining a lot of things and corrupting pure human imagination has been a common fear amongst us Legitimate Communists (not Soviet, that's not Communism).
  20. The only thing that bothers me about the idea that Twilight causes the filly epidemic is, well, that Twilight did it. The idea of "Twilight gets distracted while doing magic, bam, there's your conflict" is seriously getting boring. I mean, during the beginning of Return to Harmony, she just says "I have a new spell that will fix everything!" Where did she find that out? "IN CASE OF DRACONEQUUS INVASION, OPEN BOOK"?
  21. OMG, my cat's name is Bella too! She's only 2, though. What breed is she? I know some cats are more recessive than others, but us as humans have to make the first move, and show them that we care about them.
