Hi, i'm the new guy/pony.

Hi. I'm the new guy.
I'm a brit, and i'm weird in that i don't like to be considered a brony. I probably count as one, but hey, if you don't have to be obsessed to be a brony, surely, you don't have to be a brony if you're obsessed? right?
I play alto sax and classical guitar, and i love using the paulstretch effect on audacity to create really cool sounds with my guitar.
i compose a lot, i have sibelius 7 student, and im thinking of taking up synthesizers, and maybe learning jazz piano to help me with that.
I write a lot of fanfics, and i'm an author mainly.
I have 3 OCs, and they make up 'The Intelligence Division', which is complicated, and i might get around to writing fanfics about once i've finished the current one.
They're my OCs, but when i called them 'The Intelligence Division' i wasn't trying to sound pompous or anything.

Welcome to the madhouse! As you can see the world is much to sane... but you're here and as my friend that only I can see says, Henry's his name by the way, the more, the merrier!

cool. Hi!
I'm glad at least i joined a madhouse, not a sane house because that would be boring

I feel the same about the whole "brony" terminology, though your reasons may differ from mine. I've never really cared for the whole "bro" ness in general - it brings to mind mindless meatheads with bad haircuts lifting weights and shouting "yeah, brah!"

Good point. You know I don't consider myself to be a brony. In fact I'm not. Just because I watch this awesome show and I'm obsessed with it- there isn't a day where I don't do something to do with it-doesn't mean I want to be part of a fandom.
Brony haters say "aw you watch a show for little girls, you must be a ******** ***** ****** ******* guy! (or whatever they say)

Bronies, or people who know what bronies are and don't care say "oh, you must be part of a fandom then!"

The only difference between those two is that the first one is rude and unpleasant.
It's not that I'm not dedicated, or I'm just being ironic, or that I'm above or better than anyone (or consider myself to be) or anything like that, it's just that there's a load of people who I'm similar to.
They call themselves bronies.
Pretend that they all stand under this one same umbrella.
I don't want to go under that umbrella. I'll join in their games, follow them around, do all the stuff that they do, but I'm not being exclusive, and I'm not a hater, standing out and getting wet, i'd just rather use my own nice umbrella, because it's less crowded, there's more room, etc.

If you hate philosophical images, sorry about that. :/ I just wanted to get that one out.

Well, to that, I just have to say, umbrellas and rainshowers are cool
