History of me becoming a Brony in rant form, if anyone is interested

Well I do know that there is something about a Rainbow Kingdom, toys or something that will somehow be related to the show. I know that this gen of MLP is supposed to last 5 more years. I know that there will be EG2, even though I haven't seen EG1... Heck I haven't even seen all of Seasons 1-3 and haven't watched a single complete episode so far.

Ok, prepare for a rant (Btw, I wonder who will read this after I start posting my own stories, after homework, and tons of other stuff my highly advanced school program makes me do).

Ok fine a history blog rant JUST EVERYTHING HERE AND NOW!

So back last year, or maybe the near the end of the year before that (late 2012), I heard a few things about Bronies, especially from the person who takes me to school everyday from my moms (MORE HISTORY: So a long long time ago, while my parents were still married, we got this woman to help us w/ stuff. Stuff happened too, my parents got divorced, and she's been a family friend (with my mom anyway, my dad hates her still, even after all these years, not exactly sure why, blames the divorce on her or something or so I've been told (I can't remember much from back then, I WAS REALLY YOUNG, I just remember good and BAD things (not abuse or anything like that, I just remember crying so hard I threw up once, and apparently it wasn't a rare thing I've also been told)) for a long time basically, since um... 2006 or 2007 I think.

So a long long time ago, while my parents were still married, we got this woman to help us w/ stuff. Stuff happened too, my parents got divorced, and she's been a family friend (with my mom anyway, my dad hates her still, even after all these years, not exactly sure why, blames the divorce on her or something or so I've been told (I can't remember much from back then, I WAS REALLY YOUNG, I just remember good and BAD things (not abuse or anything like that, I just remember crying so hard I threw up once, and apparently it wasn't a rare thing I've also been told)) for a long time basically, since um... 2006 or 2007 I think.) So yeah... so my mom has to leave for work really early to get there on time, parents are divorced (dad used to stay at home & help until divorce, started working in public education (he used to be a professor or something at the nearby university, even though he hadn't graduated yet, that kind of thing, like a Ph.D or something but didn't have it just yet, but qualified to work there), and no one to get me or my brother to school so she comes along and helps out, she doesn't have a job at the time either, she's going to college to go into social help or something in public education (like a counselor I think it was). The only income she had was money she got for baby sitting me and my brother on weekends; mom had to work overtime on week ends to get extra money to pay bills and divorce stuff or something like that I don't remember, it was SO LONG AGO!; I don't remember when it was but I think she did it regularly; money she could borrow from her mom SOMETIMES (she has always prided herself in paying any borrowed money back ASAP, she hates how her sister has drained her poor mom of money and stuff... idk, that's personal), maybe some money that her sons brought in, one of them did computer stuff I think, like making them in the house and sold them, also computer repairs, the other definetly did computer stuff OH WELL IDK!!!!!!!

Short story short, she help us out, got money, blah blah blah, were close now, we help each other out, my mom still gives her a check every school week, even if she doesn't have to come because of snow days or whatever, she is giving us a 100% guarantee on her word to come if there is school to get us me and my bro to our bus stops. She has a crazy schedule working at Meijers too, so it means even more. She is one of the most dependable people I know.

Btw, I still see my dad, approx. half of the year, it just didn't work together w/ my mom and dad. I have a really weird schedule that switches every week between 2 things, its just to complicated...

So sometime ago, she had been talking about 1 of her sons who is a Brony a little bit ad the stuff he does (we talk about our lives together, he is part of hers); and I may have heard stuff about it from else where, but I don't remember everything (I also have trouble remembering things sometimes... like if I'm supposed to clean my lunch thermos when I get home, I might get them out on the counter, have to go to the restroom, and completely forget and go start homework until my dad reminds me later that night. If he reminds me to lock the door when I come in after school, I'm the last one in, drop my back pack and leave my lunch box in the kitchen, put my coat up and for get to lock the door (I typically have a routine as my back pack is too heavy and it hurts I drop it before I lock the door. Heck, idk if those exactly happen... but I need to give directions to my dad on how to get to my mom's house using the back roads b/c it's faster, I try to remember to tell him as we near the turn, but EVERY STUPID TIME, I forget until we reach a turn and he has to ask unhappily... that should be so easy right, its like less than 2 minutes from one turn to the next, but my mind drifts! I MEAN WHAT THE HECK?!).

So I got curious about what that as all about. So I stayed up one night, sometime in January last year, and searched on youtube. I eventually found the full episode 1, so I watched it, then I had to watch part 2 because well, it wasn't done. Then b/c I had nothing better to do (SLEEP! HELLO?!), I watched another, and another, and another. Then I did it the next night, and the next. I was starting to worry, like oh no I'm becoming a Brony. I told my brother, and being a brother, pestered me w/ it. I thought I'd get over it because I mean common, colorful talking ponies, My Little Pony. But I didn't. I eventually accepted it, kind of. I was worried (being Christian, and I don't always understand God, just cause well I'm not experienced or have read the Bible yet... what the heck is the matter with me? There is so much good stuff in there!) that God wouldn't like that, that I would actually get over it soon. I was scarred about telling my parents, b/c I had no idea what they'd think, especially my step dad (married my mom in 2009, on July 4th, woo!) just b/c I haven't known him as long I have my parents. Eventually, I could take it any longer and broke down in the car on the way from school w/ my mom. She eventually helped me see that, well I did like it, and it did make me happy, something that I can be dangerously low w/ sometimes, thankfully, not in a while but still. She said that if it makes me happy, then God approves of it (something like that, something more important, better but I can't remember). So then I came out o the babysitter (still call her that, well we call her by her name, but that's personal), and then to my stepdad (the babysitter explained it to them, they at first were freaking out inside, that I was gay, but they'd be fine anyway; I'm not, they know, they understand better). My dad had a peaceful acceptance, like oh, ok, not really surprising him, idk why; but I don't think I expected him to blow his top, and he didn't. He jokes w/ my brother about it now, I try to explain stuff to him, but I don't fully understand everything going on either so... He's fine w/ it though.

So that's how I became a Brony. I started cutting back on the episodes though as I didn't want to run out, and Season 3 only had 13 episodes, and that was the end apparently (I was not very connected to the fandom at the time). I never wanted it to end, it just made me so happy. It made me sad to think it would end. Then I got more connected and found out that there was going to be a Season 4. I also haven't seen all the episodes up to date b/c on, the one youtube channel with ALL of the episodes in good quality (the one that got me here, thx DanielCusaks (did I spell it right?)) was found and got all blocked; 2 I don't like doing that anymore, it doesn't feel right in a way, it is pirating kind of right? and 3 when I was watching in marathons, I found that I had skipped over a few on accident so I still don't know if I got them all up to where I stopped yet.

So that's my history as a Brony, kind of anyway...

I'll probably delete this soon... It was a weird rant, I think I was tired, and I have found so many typos and bad explanations I just fixed that I'm sure I wrote this back when my surface, or whatever piece of technology I used to write it up, had issues with the site... I mean it had a LOT of issues trying to type anything.
