Apple cider is my weakness. I can drink up to three bottles of it by myself. My family joke about my addiction to Apple cider.

I tried to picture, clusters of information, as they move through the computer... 


What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? 


I kept dreaming of a world, I thought I would never see...  And then...  One day... I got in...

Well my adorably fuzzy feline friend, I love building snow forts. Rarely is there a more beautiful sight than moonlight casting a shimmering magical glow on icy architecture. Be glad you don't have a show off sister who will raise the sun to ruin a natural wonder.

This answer will be incredibly awkward when you change your name back, Jeric.

Me. Clearly I am Luna.

 

Hath my sister gotten to you as well?

 

 

 

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAS AN IDENTITY CRISIS HERE?!?!?!?

 

The answer is buried in the merriment found in Canterlot Castle.

???!!! Princess Luna is a MOD?!!

That explains last night: all I can remember is something like, "This Dream is silly. It has been moved to the Dream Forum Lounge."

 

Has anyone ever been Banned for a dream?

The closest would be Twilight Time; though I can't say I HATE it.

*cleaning her glasses* oh i see, lets talk about your liking, music for example, can you tell me your 7 favorite songs and why?

I like some of the hardest and most extreme subgenres of metal, namely death metal. However, I really love metal combined with symphonic/orchestral elements. So, in general, my favorite musical genres are symphonic/melodic death metal, melodic/folk death metal, technical death metal, brutal/technical death metal, extreme power metal, and symphonic power metal. Outside of the metal genre I love classical music, MLP music, and Christmas music.

 

This isn't necessarily in a particular order, but 7 of my favorite metal songs of all time would be the following:

  • Song of Myself by Nightwish (symphonic power metal) - It is a beautiful song based on the poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The song deals with philosophical issues involving life, love, death, war, violence, sex,  humanity, religion and spirituality.

     

  • Unconquerable by Brymir (symphonic/melodic death metal) - It is a very heavy and inspirational song. I often listen to this to elevate my mood and fortify my spirit.

     

  • Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun (symphonic/melodic death metal) - It is a true epic of a song in which death metal meets the stars. It deals with a lot of fascinating issues of an abstract and esoteric nature.

     

  • The Longest Journey (Heathen Throne Part II) by Ensiferum (symphonic/melodic death metal) - It is a truly epic and beautiful song.

     

  • Ocean Gateways by Obscura (technical death metal) - It's a very heavy and powerful song that deals with philosophical issues regarding earth and our place in the systems of life and reality.

     

  • Reasons to Live by DragonForce (extreme power metal) - It's a beautiful and inspirational song that has helped me get through some very difficult times.

     

  • Supreme Humanism of Megalomania by Nile (brutal/technical death metal) - It's a very interesting and extremely hardcore song.

 

you have a good taste on  music if may i say so

how bout movies, your 3 favorite movies?

I love many movies, so it's hard to choose only 3. 

 

However, if I had to choose, my three favorite animated movies would probably be the following:

  • Equestria Girls 1 & 2 (tie)

     

  • Frozen

     

  • Waking Life [R]
My favorite live action movies are probably the following:
  • Donnie Darko [R]

     

  • Cloud Atlas [R]

     

  • The Fountain
Please note that these lists don't include Christmas and/or holiday movies, as those are my favorite movies by far. Equestria Girls 1 & 2 would be tied with them.

 

 

can you name 3 books that changed your life?

 

All of the books I have read have affected my life in some way, but three that impacted it the most in good and/or bad ways are the following:

  • Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut [17+] - A very graphic and disturbing story that opened my eyes much more to the horrors and reality of war and violence.

     

  • Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse - A very beautiful and enlightening book that dealt with spirituality, namely a man's quest for himself.

     

  • Inferno by Dante Alighieri (Part I of The Divine Comedy: it's the only part I've read in its entirety thus far) - Quite disturbing but incredibly artful and multilayered.

 

how ddi you enter as a moderator?

I was invited to join the MLP Forums Q&A Team in July 2013. I was invited to join the moderation team in February, 2014. I was invited to become a community admin in June 2014, and I began training as a technical admin as well like a week or two ago.

 

As a Q&A staff member I mainly helped out in the site questions section. As a moderator I focused on assisting with reports and global moderation. As a community admin I still do both of those things, but I focus primarily on managing the staff, moderation disputes, financial issues, community management, and other administrative tasks. As a tech admin I'm mainly in the learning stage right now, but I've worked with some of the code behind MLPF and poniverse with a focus on fixing problems and adding improved functionality.

Have any of you staff members met in person? If so, when and where?


All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

I've met Feld0, Spoon, Artemis, Chaotic Discord, Applebloom, Zoop, Wingnut, Lumi, Ice Storm, New Calamity...I might be forgetting a few people, it's early and I just woke up. Mind you that some of those that I mentioned are former staff members.

 

Met at Bronycon 2013 (to help with some table work and to attend the panel we had along with promoting the forum) and 2014.
