You can pretty much thank RedLynx for convincing me to join up, finally. It was getting a little old listening to her talk about all these gorgeous ponies everybody was showing off on here and being unable to see them!
So, here I am! I'm real life friends with RedLynx as previously mentioned (we go WAY back) and Ivaness as well. At the moment I don't have a "real" collection, so to speak, aside from the various pony-related things I've gathered for my nearly 15-month-old daughter. I don't really custom as of yet either, though I'm hoping to give it a go in the near future.
I was born in the late 80s and grew up in the 90s (I guess that last bit is fairly obvious...), so I was more around the tail-end of the big My Little Pony phase. But as a kid I was ridiculously into horses, and absolutely loved the show and movies. Every time my mom took me to Blockbuster and asked what I wanted to rent I'd pick Rescue at Midnight Castle - to the point where she started putting her foot down and saying I had to pick something else. I
still find myself humming the sea ponies' song.
These days I love the new show, and watch it pretty religiously with my boyfriend (who, I'm pleased to say, admits to enjoying it as well) and our daughter. We don't actually have television, so she doesn't watch a lot of TV, but that's one show she actually really gets into. The colors, the music, who knows, but it makes her happy and it makes us happy and it all works out! I love the old show/movies and I always will, but at the same time I'm glad the new is as good as it is and is something I don't mind my own daughter watching, enjoying, and learning from.
But anyway, that's probably enough about me! Thanks for reading, if you got this far!
