My result was Twilight.
Mine was AppleJack. (Or something like that, I've never actually seen it.)

I'm Rarity. I have never actually seen the show, though, so I don't know if it's a good thing or not... meh, whatever. :lol:
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

Rarity:
Image

Long copy-paste from FiM Wiki (yes, there is one) because it's four in the morning and I'm too tired to shorten it:
Rarity has a passion for design and considers herself an artist, with other ponies' looks as her medium. Her dream is to design for Princess Celestia one day and even marry "the stallion of her dreams" (at one point imagining this as Celestia's nephew). She has a tendency to give her friends spontaneous makeovers and clothing tips if their appearance does not meet her impeccable standards (Twilight is a frequent victim of this.) However, this does not mean that she is shallow or superficial; she truly cares about each one of her clients and tries her best to create designs which will bring out the inner beauty of her friends.

That's not to say that she doesn't deal with her outer beauty as well. In Boast Busters, her attempt to show up Trixie was spoiled when the blue unicorn ruined her hair, causing her to run away. In Look Before You Sleep, she panics while trying to avoid getting muddy or have her mane soaked in the rain. This caused some conflict with her friend Applejack, who isn't bothered about getting muddy or wet. In Dragonshy, she wore a scarf on the way to the dragon's lair, wondering if she carried a tiara to match. In Green Isn't Your Color, she is shown indulging in full spa treatments.

Rarity takes great pride in her work and will do whatever it takes to make sure a dress is perfect for the customer no matter how long it takes. In Suited For Success, she takes it a step further when her friends did not seem satisfied in the first set of dresses she made for them. She stressed herself into making a new set as perfect as they wanted it, going as far as following all their instructions instead of her own instincts. She was unhappy with the results, even though her friends were the opposite. Because of the love of her career, she can be emotionally distraught when it is threatened in some shape or form. When her "perfect" gowns were devastatingly rebuked by a visiting fashion critic and her being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, lamenting the fear of her career being ruined. In another example, in Swarm of the Century, she forgot the Parasprite crisis around Ponyville when she realized some of the hungry swarm were in her shop eating all of her clothes, causing her to panic and rush over.

Rarity is perhaps the most well-spoken of the main six ponies; her vocabulary tends to be on the more elegant side, and she is prone to use bigger words and more sophisticated, refined phrasing than the others. She speaks with a cultivated Mid-Atlantic dialect , and shares some mannerisms with similarly accented Hollywood actresses, such as Zsa Zsa Gabor --for example, referring to others as "Darling."

Rarity sometimes gets carried away with her attention to detail. In Look Before You Sleep, she had difficulty tearing herself away from fixing a messy bookcase despite the presence of a much bigger problem--a tree that crashed into Twilight's home. In Winter Wrap Up, she becomes so preoccupied with fixing Twilight's messy bird's nest that she spent nearly the entire day on it, when she was supposed to be making hundreds of other nests.
On the topic of watching the show; I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's actually a pretty good cartoon. It might not be the best cartoon in the world, but if you ask me, the fact that it's merchandise-driven and yet manages to have legitimate humor, draw adults in without being cynical, and has such a huge periphery demographic following is definitely noteworthy.

If you do watch it, I'll also say this again as much as I need to: While none of the episodes are really "bad" in my opinion (there are some I don't like, but I can't think of any that I didn't enjoy), the first two episodes aren't representative of what the rest of the series delivers (arguably, neither is the third episode, but to a lesser extent). If you were to watch it, I'd recommend either A) Starting around episode 4 or later, or B) Watching the first five episodes or so. Even then, the later episodes tend to be some of the best (For what it's worth, my favorites are Episode 16 and 22).


Now then. Back to trying to sleep and trying to figure out why I love this show so much at the same time.

After reading this I took it a second time, got Rainbow Dash again. Tried a third time and it gave me Twilight.

I'm confused :lol:

I got Twilight. I've only seen 2 episodes so far, though, and Twilight was the star of both of them.

You know, it's a good thing I cn only watch it when I'm home alone. I still won't be finished season 1 when season 2 finaly comes out. :lol:

I took it 3 more times and got Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rainbow.
Maybe I have a mixed personality.

I spy pony drives!

There's this person on deviantART selling USB Drives in a variety of colors with different ponies on them!

Check it out here: http://moongazeponies.deviantart.com/ar ... -210462028

Right now as said on the page, this person isn't taking anymore orders until further notice (probably until tomorrow), but I have mine ready when (s)he's ready! I've attached a picture of what I'm gonna get below.

I'll post here when orders are taken again, so be on the lookout! :D

Oh, I envy you, jdl. :3
I don't have enough money right now to afford one, and even then, an external hard drive would be better for me and cheaper. Then again, you can never have enough ponies, right?

Also, in other news, I found some great music.

Oh, hmm. I forgot there aren't any youtube BBcodes here. I'll just link it.

Of course. :wink:

In other news I just mentioned this to my friend about an hour ago, he took it a lot better than I thought he would.

Whether that's convinced him to check it out or not, I have no idea, but... whatever. :lol:

Well, I have two RL brony friends so far. I'm searching for the third, I know there is one.

On the topic of not enough ponies, I've changed my start button to Twilight and my icons to fillies of a group of ponies. I'm trying to get so much pony that I become one (great idea, right?)

Sorry about the DP. (I know I can edit but I don't want to since normal users can't)

I've made a Scootaloo Portal background! Because I was bored.

Ok well the guy has opened up orders for the USB Drives again, and at even more of a discount, along with a few more designs and an order form.

I'm going to be ordering mine very soon (probably today).

Link to main information page: http://moongazeponies.deviantart.com/ar ... -210462028

Link to order form: http://ponydrives.uphero.com/


It's a good thing he accepts money orders or I wouldn't be able to buy one! :D

I have to choose between buying a Pinkie Pie toy or Terraria. I might have enough for both. Any input?

Buy Terraria by all means. Pinky Pie toy = not much fun, not much you can do with it. Unless your both younger than I thought and the opposite gender of what I thought.

Dude. It's Pinkie Pie. You can mess up her hair.
It's FUN. My friend has one.

I illegally torrented it. Then it stopped working so I decided to support the developers some anyways.
