//------------------------------// // Entry Three: Pinkameena Diane Pie (Part 1 of 2) // Story: The Psychological Journal of Inkblot // by Hjspalenka //------------------------------// I am quite pleased to finally be able to approach some of the more outgoing ponies in Ponyville, and after toying around in my thoughts, the answer showed itself as an all too familiar face. This pony shows up all over the place, running around to spend time with everypony she can. This peculiar pony, a Miss Pinkameena Diane Pie, though known by almost everypony as Pinkie Pie, has gone as far as to make herself Ponyville's One-Pony Welcome Wagon. Pinkameena, from what I have heard, was raised on a rock farm, having very little contact with ponies off of the farm, though this is all from what I have heard from others. She certainly seems like the sort of pony I need to speak with at some point in the future to learn more. Pinkameena seems to rely too heavily on her friends, to the point of being totally broken up whenever they cannot make time for her. She made this shortcoming all too clear when one day her friends simply had no time to spend with her. Unbeknownst to her, they were planning a surprise party, but she had gotten so wrapped up in worrying that she forgot she even had a birthday that day. Furthermore, she has shown attachment issues, worried about being forgotten after even the slightest passage of time. Lastly, she happens to often spread herself thin, leading to stories of her somehow cloning herself (May be crazy. If not Pinkameena, then those who allege she cloned herself.) It would not take such a professional as myself to predict that such a dependency is a weakness to her, or that it could be harmful to her in the future, due in part to the fact that it has already been proven true. Nevertheless, she seems not to have learned from her past, and continues on that path to this very day. I can only be left to wonder what sort of inter-familial relationships she had that would end in this sort over-reliance on friends, having no true experience with her that can back these substantiations up much, or at all. Still, aside from judging her based almost only on her friends, she seems not to be the most stable of ponies. Though not by any stretch an objectively insane pony, she does have odd tendencies, such as stashing balls all over Ponyville, "in case of ball emergency." Though there are many more examples, I would rather not waste time on analyzing each one specifically, but let the whole of experience with Pinkameena be enough to describe it. Although, I find myself wondering about her something I do not wonder with any other subject, at least not so much... Am I wrong about her? She is most certainly "out there," but she also seems to have some things going for her no other ponies do. While she is also placing far too much value on her friendships, and not quite enough on relationships with her family, and often proves to be an annoyance to her friends, her other...eccentricities can be proven accurate. For example, Pinkameena's ball she had stashed away for emergencies turned out to be useful and needed in this very emergency, so is it really crazy? Even curiouser, Pinkameena seems to have innate control over things even Unicorns and Pegasi cannot control, or that she is able to predict things ponies should not be able to predict. Again, it all comes down to the same question: Is anything truly crazy if it proves to be correct? Is she crazy for doing something, even if that something did just what it needed to? To bring this all back to the point, Pinkameena Diane Pie is odd, but is she crazy, or a genius? Is she possessive of the greatest mind of our generation, an extreme bit of luck, or a total anomaly that must be studied? I feel ashamed that I cannot do her justice in analysis, but it seems impossible to do at this time. I feel that, given her many oddities, and the further oddities presented within these of the first tier, I cannot fairly judge her, but will need to save something like that for a future entry. I must commend Pinkameena for
