I was going to the mall today with my fiance to buy some plastic bins in the big grocerystore Coop that they have inside the mall. As usual we walked past the toyaisle, but since this guy in his 20's and in a uniform was sitting there, kneeling by the MLP blind bags I kept on walking cuz' I'm the kind of person who are abit shy about my pony collecting and I never stop to check ponies if there's someone else there.
I couldn't help but to be curious though, thinking it was a worker for the grocerystore, I thought maybe he was putting up new Blind Bags since I saw he was checking the MLP Blind Bag boxes out, turning them over, checking the pictures on the side etc.
I figured we'd go back when we've picked up the plastic bins and so we did. When we reached the toyaisel again the same guy who had been kneeling down by the blindbags before came out of it and I noticed his uniform was one of the store "Game" in the mall that sells computergames etc. And in his hand he held some blue MLP blind bags.
I couldn't help but starring while we headed over to the ponies and kinda exited I whisperd to my fiance "Oh my gosh he must have been a brony!" And I let a laugh escape me. This was only because I was so exited and happy to see a brony in my area.
Thinking back though, I feel really bad because he might have heard me and thought I was laughing at him
I really really hope not because I think it's a great thing that the Ponies get so much love and attention from all kinds of people these days.
Not only that, but we checked out, went to another store and then headed out of the mall. As we did I saw that guy again standing in the middle of the highly trafficated mall by a bin and ripping open the MLP blindbags. I smiled and turned to my fiance and just went "yup, brony"
We talked about it and how it was great to see adult guys having no shame at all in buying ponies and I thought, if guys are so cool with it, why can't I be?
Right after we headed to Toys R Us which is located right next to the mall and when we got to the pony section and I noticed they finally had the Blind Bag packs with 3 in each I let out such a loud squeal that a little kid just stopped and stared at me
I raised my eyes abit and saw.... The Wedding Castle! I actually shouted to my fiance who stood abit away "OMG they finally got the castle! LOOK!" I grabbed it and hugged it all the way to the register with a big smile on my face. Something I would never EVER have done before. Usually I jump of joy on the inside and try to act all cool like I'm buying the stuff for someone else.
And I realized that I suddenly felt no shame what so ever anymore in loving the ponies so much and beeing all exited about finding new stuff. Most likely cuz' of how that guy I had seen previously had no shame in it.
So thanks to finally seeing another person, a guy ontop of everything, beeing totally cool with buying ponies I think I finally got over my own shame - and this makes me feel even worse if he did hear me and missunderstood my reaction in the grocery store =(
Maybe I should head to the mall and appologize or something or at least start a convo about ponies with this dude? I dunno, I just hate myself right now especially since I do have him to thank for getting over my own fear and shame
