    Okay, so I wasn't going to introduce myself, because I don't really feel like I'm part of the herd; but this really nice pony over on EPR convinced me to come over and say 'Hi'!

    My journey with MLP:FiM all started out with my boyfriend the Brony. Yes, I'm a filly, so that's one strike against me, right? And I'm like way old.... almost 40. Two strikes! And I'm a total geek... okay, so maybe that's not a strike against me in this herd :-D. But yeah, awkward filly is awkward. Sometimes I feel so flutter-shy, even though I wish I could be more like Dashie! The BF is *definitely* Pinkie Pie from forelock to flank, and sometimes I feel like I just don't fit in. Although the one MLP meet-up we went to, everypony was *very* nice!

    So, anyhow, that's me, escargot. I don't yet have a cutie mark, as I'm really not certain of my path yet. Although I'm leaning towards a bow (archery, not pretty ribbon), since as we speak I'm working on a bowstring for the longbow that I'm making.

    Well, I think your part of the herd, even if you don't feel like it. I know there are members here that are much older than you. I'm almost your age myself. The fandom may have started with 16-24 year olds, but it is spreading more and more. I think we are going to see the average brony age get higher and higher in the coming months. I think most recently I had heard that the average age was 21.

    I love how your name is "escargot" and the thread's called "Coming out of my shell" :derpe:
    I'm relatively new to the site, but I must say it's a great place and everypony's very welcoming. So yeah, welcome!

    Well I look forward to getting to know you!

    I always enjoy getting to know a new face around here. Hope you have a blast and hope we can talk soon.

    And trust me, being a filly isn't a demerit of any accord.

    P.S.

    I love archery! :D Good luck with your project, i've never even imagined trying to make a bow before, what materials are you using?

    2 strikes. Nah I don't think so. We bronies are a diverse group with a broad range of ages and cultures. Love and tolerance is our number 1 rule, we accept everyone. :smile:

    Hi Escargot! Welcome to our herd!

    And you are a part of the herd - being pony fan makes you a part of the herd. You'll always be welcomed here with open arms. Hooves? No, do horses legs have another name? Forelegs? Any ways . . .

    And I had to chuckle at your "two strikes" - especially since I'm older than you, and my wife is older still! And yes, she's a brony, too. She also loves archery, I would like to point out.

    Oh, I'll admit, it took me a bit to see what you did there. Very clever, my little pony . . . very clever.

    While your here, please post ponies, listen to EPR, make some new friends, and by all means, have fun!

    Hello there, escargot.

    After reviewing your introduction, and after looking over our Strikes Against New Users policy (SANU), as a moderator here at Everypony.com, I have come to the conclusion that you have this many strikes against you:

    0

    The reason(s): The aforementioned policy does not exist. :p

    Silly pony. Everypony is welcome here regardless of age, gender, etc, etc, etc. I'm glad that you've taken the opportunity to introduce yourself to us and hopefully we'll see you around! I hope you enjoy your stay! :grin:

    And believe me, you are part of the herd. ;)
