The maple chair has become wobbly from sitting on it too much, and the desk in front is missing a leg, so I have to keep it up with a stack of books. The laptop was as loud as some broken jet engine that won't stop making noise when you turn it off.
"OK, so I type in My-Little-Pony," And I clicked the little search button. "Holy hell," my jaw dropped. I scrolled down to the bottom of the Google results page. Over 500 pages of results.
The first thing that appeared on the page was the My Little Pony homepage at the Hasbro website. The next was a 12000 word article on Wikipedia. YouTube videos, fan art, and The Living Tombstone, whoever that may be. But before I click anything, I need to watch the show first. I knew that My Little Pony was a TV Series aired on hub channel, I've seen glimpses of it as I scrolled through my TV.
There was this sight called onlinecartoons.com. That's where I went. "MLP S1E1, I'm gonna guess that's season 1 episode 1," ok, here we go.
My Little Pony, My little pony, ah ahhh ahhhhhhh, My Little pony, I used to wonder what friendship could be.
"Oh my god," The animation so far seemed great, next level even, but as this was meant to be, it was a little girly.
It started off with some purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle, and my opinion is that the plot is great.
About 22 minutes later
"Holy shit, that was great, next episode!"
I practically spent 3 hours watching My Little Pony. But at least I was kind of happy now, happier, at least. I lied in bed, and stared up at the ceiling, reciting the names of the "Mane Six". "Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie," over and over again. This is the new thing that was keeping me sane, keeping me from going crazy, keeping me from losing my mind, and above all, keeping me happy.
All I could think of now are those multicolor mythical horses that just so happened to be 2 feet shorter than me.

Too bad it isn't a leap year. I've become a full on brony, now a days, knowing every tiny little fact about My Little Pony, and submitting user-made content. My desk next to my bed has become a pony figurine land.
I was in the middle of watching "Top 10 Pony Videos of May 2012," when someone knocked the door. No one usually does this, so I grabbed the shotgun leaning on the desk next to me, and carefully approached the door. "Who is it!" I yelled. No answer, probably because the door was 3 inches thick, to keep out fire. I looked through the peephole. It was a guy who was wearing a yellow company shirt. I could barely make out the logo, "BronyCon 2013." I put the shotgun down, and immediately opened the door before he could leave.
"Hello, we would like to invite you to this years BronyCon, sir," The man said. He handed me a flyer, which I gladly took.
"Thank you!" I replied, and I closed the door. I read the flyer, "BronyCon 2013, February 24th 1:00 P.M - 10:00 P.M at Brenderson Hall in Chino Hills California. Intersection of Grand and Peyton Dr."
Well it was a good thing I lived only 1.2 miles away from Brenderson Hall.
In 5 days, I go to my first Pony Convention.
