I disappear for a while, then come back to discover that my flist loves My Little Pony! THE JOY! I resisted the call of the ponies at first, but then I finally gave in and watched an ep. Then I watch EVERY ep. Then I realized that I am utterly, UTTERLY captivated by these ponies and the animation and the excellent messages and the positive portrayals of female friendships and PINKIE PIE!!!! Oh, Pinkie Pie. How I adore you and your randomness.
So, yes. Seriously. If you haven't given MLP: Friendship is Magic a try, you are missing something truly special.

And yes. There really IS a pony named Doctor Hooves. HAHAHAHAHA.
