Re-introducing myself... again :)

[Katika]

Hey everyone!

Long time no see The past year or so has been absolutely nuts for me, resulting in decreased pony time (boooo), but I'm trying to make my come back now (yaaaaay!).

A little about me: I grew up playing with G1s, but left the MLP world when I wanted to play with more "realistic" model horses. Fast forward to 2003 and discovering G3s and I became an overnight collector. I much prefer G1 and G3 to the other generations, but G2/3.5/4 have all grown on me enough that they're welcome and significant parts of my herd (still not too sure on what I think about the *new* G4s... G4.5s? What are we calling them?). I go through spurts of customizing, but it's been a while since I've dug my ol' bait box out.

My degree is in animal science, as I'd planned on going to vet school since I was 5. Unfortunately, in undergrad, I began to pass out while making incisions and then I got engaged/married to a man whose career routinely keeps us moving, making that career a very unlikely option for me after all. I've worked in animal rescue, handling military working dogs, as a vet tech, and a horse trainer before deciding to devote my professional energy into another lifelong passion of mine--writing. As of this past April, I'm a published epic fantasy author

I hope to become a more active member of this community once again--it's always been the warmest online home I've ever been part of, and I miss the sense of camaraderie that these forums bring to its members.

Hi,
Do you love animals? I do. Also I know everything about MLP Gens.
These are my fav MLP Gen toys in order of what I like the most:
Gen 3 are the best! They are aren't as tall but they are way more sweet (u already know that)
Gen 2 are more tall tall, slender and pretty (u already know that, too) They are also my fav to collect!
Gen 1 are usually more short and chubby (u already know that)
Gen 4 are HIDEOUS and they have huge heads and tiny bodies. The series however they look way dif, but I do warn u the plotlines in it and charaters are annioing, more modern and they are all way more realistic. I doubt u would like either the toys or the series. I don't think u knew how terrible this Gen 4 of toys look. That and the toys cost a lot of money for something soo tiny! The series are still better than the toys.
What is your fav MLP ever? I don't have a fav one of every single Gen, there are too many to choose from!
U should def keep collecting MLP Gen 3's but maybe u should try the Gen 2's, they are soo tall and pretty!
