    It's time to learn more about each other, what better way then to explain why we chose our cutie marks and what in out real lives lead us to discover our special talent.

    My cutie mark is a set of headphones there are many literal and symbolic reasons for this.

    Literal

    I love to listen to music
    I love to sing along, even though my voice is terrible
    I love to listen to independant music rather then big bands or popular music
    I love to listen to remixes mostly, first of video games, now of My Little Pony.
    I love Fluttershy, um... it's somehow relevant, shut up don't question it.

    Practical
    My headphones also serve a huge practical function. I walk and take public transportation everywhere so that is a lot of time that I spend sitting around doing nothing. I love using my ipod to listen to not just music, but also podcasts and I mean a huge huge amount of podcasts. Even when I keep up with 15 podcasts at a time I find myself running out of new material to listen to. I have at this point listened to every single pony podcast in exsistance and am eagerly awaiting more. I also kept up with 5 WOW podcasts on a regular basis while I was playing that.

    Because my favourite and most entertaining podcast was a WOW, I decided to download some episodes after having quit WOW. I decided I couldn't listen to it because it was giving me the urge to get back into WOW, which I know would be a very bad idea. Because it is all a waste of time.

    Symbolic

    The headphones represent my wish to ignore the rest of the world and other people that I have become quite bitter about. I would wear my headphone even if I'm not listening to anything to use it as an excuse to ignore people who speak to my in public, especially strangers.

    I like to avoid the new and of how many people tragically died, because I don't want keep thinking about how terrible the music is. So my headphone represent how I want to block out hearing about the rest of the world, not because I don't care, but because I know I will care too much to an unhealthy degree.

    I used to care a lot about the world and thought the state of it was repulsive, so I was an activist for a while to try and change it. All I got out of that was me making no impact and me learning more and more that made me depressed about the state of things and about humanity in general. Until I decided to stop worrying and enjoy my own life and let the world dig it's own grave and make the most of my life until it does so.

    So yeah, all that from headphones.

    Your turn.

    well, the wind cutie mark means

    i am very fast
    i'm impatient sometimes
    i like windy days
    i'm good at singing, heck, does that represent wind?
    i like windy days

    well the wind really represents me a lot, breeze or gale, i'm very destructive when i'm angry, but i'm very calm most of the time, when the wind blows things away or ruins something, it means i'm annoying


    wind symbolizes me because, well, i often annoy people, but most of them like the way i sing, i'm not going to brag, but i sing very well, actually

    Ah, mine is also wind.

    I mentioned this before, but I was quite a dark and depressive person, who hated everyone. I wanted to burn everything with fire. It was destructive and powerful..

    Skip ahead some time and through some self reflection while on vacation, I realized I'd never make it through life thinking like that. I was on a mountain when a strong breeze started blowing. At that point, I changed. I grew to love the wind. It represented a new beginning and how I, like the wind, could change.

    I grew fascinated by the wind and now I love it....and that's what my cutie mark represents- my change in my life just because the wind decided to blow...

    Such a sweet story. I'm happy for you.

    So the logical conclusion I can draw from this is that as somepony obsessed with wind, you must be obsessed and in love with Rainbow Dash. That's cool dude you can have Rainbow Dash and I'll just stand over here on the ground with the cute bunnies. Not near Fluttershy at all!

    my is rather simple

    I've always liked winter. I always liked to watch snow fall, and play in snow, you know what most of kids like to do, snow wars, making snow forts and that stuff.
    but when I was 13, everything changed. I started snowboarding. I got addicted. That was only thing that was making me really happy (even when I'm frustrated about not landing some trick 10 times in row)
    It has become big part of my life and when I see snow falling, I'm instantly happy.
    I remember once about 2 years ago, there was very very bad snowstorm in city. I went out street snowboarding in that storm, and when I was coming back home, I was skating (riding one foot strapped) on bank of Sava river. That was one moment when I really enjoying living and beauty of life, even if there was snow apocalypse around me, it made me happy.
    Aslo snowboarding kept me alive (psychically) for long time.

    my cutie mark is a raindrop
    rain is a very emotional symbol, it can represent life,cleansing, and rebirth as well as sadness,frustration, and dispare

    to me i have always enjoyed taking long walks in the rain when im feeling down because the gentle cool water feels as if my spirit has been clinsed and rejuvenated. it fills me with life and washes away corruption

    im very environmental so like the rain i believe in washing away all these toxins the world has been filled with, i want a clean enviroment where everyone can live in peace

    one of my goals in life is to sail out to sea someday, i want to explore different lands and meet new people so like the rain i want travel from place to place, im tired of mountains ;( lol
    -and so that is why i chose mine

    If you've all been following what I do on the radio, you'll all know that I'm a keen linguist. As for what I'm like, I prefer to be isolated away from people, am sometimes impatient and take absolutely NO risks - we wouldn't want anypony being hurt now, would we? Also, I am a little selfish, trying to always see what the benefits are for me, I'm also I slight perfectionist, which explains why, when I screw something up, I get irritated with myself and thus, I must fix it! Finally, I'm a little paranoid. *Looks over shoulder*

    If you've read all this, then you can probably assume that I'm quite negative about myself.

    But how can you not love Rainbow Dash, she can create WIND, hay she can even create a tornado if you want, soft breeze. I guess you could call her the WIND! MASTER! yay!

    I know Rainbow Dash is just so awesome and cool. I wish I was with a pony as awesome as Rainbow Dash. But your love her more so I will be kind and surrender her to you,a and I'll just settle for the next best pony who can't even make wind, Fluttershy. sigh

    .....*facehoof*

    Any pegasus can create wind, just by flapping their wings. Yeah, Rainbow is good at it, but I prefer the gentle breezes in the air. Therefore, Fluttershy is mine. You have headphones, do you? Fluttershy is the quiet type, you're more suited for Vinyl Scratch, ok?

    (Let's not derail your own thread... :p)

    A silver star doesn't really say anything about who i am, but i do like being the center of attention like a movie star. In a way, it represents not who i am, but who i'd want to be.

    In fact, my CM and the pony it's pasted on is just a result of my massive amount of creativity. That said, i suck at drawing :p. I'm pretty good with image editors such as GIMP, and i used to make some pretty decent digital art with it. I just keep on looking for a creative outlet i AM good at. I was thinking of maybe writing a fic sometime soon.

    I can relate to that I have been striving unsuccessfully for online fame for 5 years. I wish I spent more time learning more useful skills. I am okay at a lot of things, but not a master of anything really. I have more creativity then I know what to do with.

    I am very bad though at taking requests, unlike Rarity I don't think I could work on something I didn't enjoy working on.

    The Tenor Clef..............you're in for some deep BS here! I came up with it on the spot, but here we go.

    Literal Meaning
    Middling sounds
    I play in both tenor and bass clef.
    I can sing tenor like fish can fly.


    Practical
    Can fill the void left between trumpets/upper wood winds/ violins and tubas/bassoons/double bass.
    Eliminates the use of extra ledger lines above the staff, meaning it simplifies the meaning of things and make it easier to read.
    Versatile.
    Has an odd range.
    Not often recognized, and when it is, it isn't well known.

    Symbolic
    Not very known or recognized.
    Movable.
    Used to create power in a song.

    Mines pretty straight forward. I was looking for music, ANY good music, until my friend showed me Cinema by Beni Benassi (Skrillex Remix). I feel in love with Dubstep and Skrillex in general. It was great music. I became obsessed in a good way. I was even showing Dubstep I my friend that he had never heard of before. That's how I came to drop the bass. Originally it was a flagged eighth note, but I found drop the bass more appropriate. True Story. That's why I like Vinyl. She's a DJ pony. How much better can that get?

    I was thinking of something like Yin/Yang, but using it as a representation between Sin and Hope (Redemption/Atonement). The most prevalent idea in my writing is hope/faith, even if subtle. However, I don't really have any symbols I've found I want to use.

    Well my cutie mark is not existent yet (Opens up photoshop ;) ),
    but it would definitely look something like the epic meal time logo.
    Except with a Wrench and a knife. And possible chef hat.

    Ive often been called "The Mechanic" at work. Since most of my hobbies involve some sort of Mechanical ability, welding, cutting, building, fabricating.
    But by trade im a Sous Chef at an Irish pub. In charge of pretty much everything. Its a fun job for sure!

    But my OC pony has a grenade as a cutie mark, he likes explosions. Simple as that. It also matches with his helmet that he wears 90% of the time, except when hes sleeping.

    Any Weather Channel aficionado should be able to recognize my cutie mark immediately. It's the WeatherStar 4,000 icon for an observation of "Thunder."

    If you don't know what I mean by WeatherStar 4,000, check out this video. Note the regional observation for Tallahassee, Florida at 0:36. That's where my cutie mark is from.
    [video=youtube;36jkdQdy07c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36jkdQdy07c[/video]
    Back in the 90's, this was how my local forecasts used to look like— minus the Florida part, obviously, since I never lived there. I don't know if any places still have their forecasts show up using WeatherStar 4,000. I believe the current one is IntelliStar.

    Anyway, so now you know one reason why I have this as my cutie mark— I've grown up watching the Weather Channel. I always enjoyed watching the forecasts, as at the time it was my only access to weather information before I had a computer. Yes, there was a time before Internet. Yikes!

    The other reason, as some of you may already be aware, is I just love thunderstorms! So, that's the other reason why I have it. The only reason why I chose the "thunder" icon as opposed to the "thunderstorm" icon is because the latter has animated rainfall in it, and I don't think that'd be appropriate for a cutie mark.

    My cutie mark is more or less a reference to my last name and it represents (PUN ALERT!) my somewhat cold personality and outlook on life.
