Batbrony 16,055 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 (edited) Uh, hey there everyone, so, I just officially joined the herd today, and I'm quite excited about it! I discovered MLP: FIM on YouTube about a month ago, and since then, I haven't been able to get enough! The show has such great humor, fantastic animation, fun characters, and wonderful lessons about kindness and friendship, I just love it all! But I'm guessing this is how most of you feel about MLP itself, so, let me tell you a couple of things about myself that aren't old news for ya'll. I'm a 20 year old college student at Hillsdale College, currently in the second semester of my junior year, and at the moment I'm interning in Washington, D.C. at the U.S. Capitol Historical Society. It's a lot of fun, especially since I get to do a lot of research at the Library of Congress, which is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever been in, and just a fantastic place for studying and research (burn with envy Twilight Sparkle, lol!). I'm also, aside being a proud brony, an equally proud self-proclaimed nerd! My particular expertise is in video-gaming, movie critiqueing (I love online critics like the Nostalgia Critic or Spoony, and just critiqueing movies/tv shows in general) and comic-book characters, especially Batman (although, much to my embarassment, I've never actually read any comic-books save for a couple of graphic novels that I found online in this series called "Dreamkeepers," though I hope to remedy that soon). My favorite original video game series is the Halo series, although I'm also a big fan of the Mass Effect and Assassins Creed series as well, and my favorite adapted video-game series is the Batman: Arkham series (speaking of which, anyone who ever frequented the Arkham City forums might know me from there as batcatforever; to this date, that and the MLP forums are the only forums I've ever frequented). I also love singing (I've been a choral musician for years now, though I'm not exactly a soloist, I prefer big choral groups), reading, football (I'm a huge Michigan Wolverines and Green Bay Packers fan) and studying history, politics, and philosophical thought, especially American history and politics. My home is a little corner of paradise in southwestern Michigan, where I'll be beach-bumming it this summer at my job as a park ranger at our local beach. I hope to meet some nice bronies and pegasisters here, and am really happy to finally be here! Feel free to shoot me a message or friend request! Edited April 17, 2012 by batbrony 4 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough. Sometimes ponies deserve more.

That's wonderful :3 Singing is wonderful. I'm also in a choir, but just in church (I really wouldn't call it choir, since it's only dad and I. I'm the singer). It's great to know ppl still are into History and Politics x3 I'd be happy to discuss with you about anytihng of it. My home is a little corner of paradise in southwestern Michigan, where I'll be beach-bumming it this summer at my job as a park ranger at our local beach.

Batbrony 16,055 April 18, 2012 Author Share April 18, 2012 Of course Flutter Pony, I'd be more than happy to be your friend, you seem like a very nice and outgoing person (although your avatar would suggest that you are on the verge of some sort of terrifying mental breakdown, perhaps the result of not contacting a certain princess on time... might want to do something about that ) 1 "You'll hunt me.

Batbrony 16,055 April 20, 2012 Author Share April 20, 2012 Did I heard about muffin ? HA!!!!! LOLZ, that's awesome!!!!

Starbolt 14 April 20, 2012 Share April 20, 2012 Did I heard about muffin ? Hey! I thought I removed all the evidence of me doing that last night!!! lol! All kidding aside, Pleased to meet you and welcome to the forums. I became a brony thanks to my niece, and in the past resembled fluttershy (Still do around new people) and on a regular day have as much bad luck as Derpy. I am SO lucky I don't need a tractor to work on the fields. I'd probably roll it into a ditch. So what's it like as a park ranger? Sounds pretty cool! 1 Smile and things will turn out fine. If it doesn't, then smile anyway and show them you're the bigger Pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty fun, definitely a great summer job!!! We help keep things running smoothly at the beach (sell park passes, make sure no fights break out, maintain facilities/grills/volleyball nets, assist the lifeguards when there's an emergency). For special events like the Fourth of July, we get front row seats for the fireworks off the pier that nobody else does, since the area's closed off, and get to watch them from the dunes (which makes staying there till 4:00 A.M. almost worth it ). It's also nice knowing you're doing your part with your local community; my town's a big tourist town in the summer, especially for Hoosiers and Chicagoans, so I feel good knowing that I'm contributing to the local economy. Plus, ya get a wicked tan being out in the sun so much "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough.

Anyway, I wish I had a job like that. The farms are great and all, but I'd like have a job where I would be able to duck into the shade once in a while.
