Okie, so
Priestling invited me to join in this threadie, so here I am~!
My name's Pinkie Pie or Matty Jei; whichever you prefer~ I've been involved with the Brony community since August of 2011 but only massively involved and somewhat popular within it since late March of 2012~ I run several things:
I also am a member of Minnesota Bronies and all their subsidiaries and a representative to groups in the greater Midwest, the Lake Michigan area, St. Louis (Missouri), United States overall and Zagreb, Croatia~
I'm pretty active and busy in the fandom, as you can all see~ Admittedly, I am vehemently proud to call myself a Brony and I will forever be grateful to what the fandom stands for~ The Brony community has brought me peace and fulfillment; it was a huge factor in eradicating my chronic depression, it gave me a community of people where I was finally able to discover how to be real with others and with myself, it was a community that followed ethical standards that run counter to society's 'Look Out for Number One' mentality and it has--last but certainly not least--given me something I've craved my whole life: the capacity and chance to bring smiles, happiness and fulfillment to countless people...~ I grew up watching Care Bears religiously~ I thought they had the best job in the world and the best life in the world; what could be better than making a living off of love~? I get to live that dream now in the Brony fandom~! Love, acceptance and tolerance are best ethics~
It's nice to see a threadie here for Bronies~ It's great to see a group of ponies here working to point out social, cultural and political issues like I do~ That having been said, I passionately embrace the concept of friend-making and meeting new ponies; I always welcome the opportunity to share my positivity with others. Be warned: I breed positive chaos and perpetuate a whirlwind of crazypants~ However, I find that my unashamed presentation of myself attracts more people than it scares away, so come on in; there's lots of room in my tornado of awesomeness~
EDIT: Got the name and profile wrong for the member who invited me...sorries~
