    My birthday is on the 7th. So many December birthdays!

    If I had a cutie mark, I think it would probably have something to do with persistence, because if I put my heart into something, I don't give up on it until things work out. That isn't to say that I can do everything, or that I put my heart into everything I do, the latter actually being a character flaw for me, but I feel like there have been moments in my life where I kept trying even when most others would have given up.

    Mine is warm wind. I've always loved weather since I was a little kid. A lot of times I go outside just to look at the sky and feel the wind. I also have my own Pinkie sense to help me predict weather. Even my family comes to me instead of the weather channel to know what the weather will be like.

    I still don't know why my cutie mark is!

    Although i have several talents.

    I am reasonably good at singing, and i am very interested in Psychology.

    But most of all, my talent lies in language.
    I soak up languages like a sponge.
    I'm good at speaking (with good accents), memorising, and understanding (especially reading).
    Also, i'm a Grammar Nazi. I will not stand for bad grammar from people who have it only because they're lazy.
    You should see my text messages. I spell proof them before i send them. No acronyms. I text paragraphs! o_O

    The only flaw i have in language, is that for some reason i only caplitilise "I" if it is at the beginning of my sentence.
    It's just a weird habit. I don't know why. I should probably fix that. -shrug-

    Foreign languages, or English. I'm am good at both.

    But i still don't know what my cutie mark would be. Any suggestions? .3.

    My cutie mark on here is a turtle because, simply put, I love turtles.

    But real life.
    I'm much of a Blank Flank.
    I'm in college for writing right now, and I think that's my true calling...
    But I'm still not sure.
    I used to be an actor, and was even majoring in it
    Until I realized I didn't like the real theatre world, because it was nastier than the close knit family I had in High School.
    I can't quit doing theatre work though because I have a scholarship for acting :/

    I also find I'm good at helping others out, whether it's just listening or giving advice.

    But I dunno :/

    Like everyone and their Mum, I'm a writer, dah-ling. I tend to stick with funny/satirical stuff though, hence my cutie mark being a quill drawing a smiley face on a scroll. I annoy myself, because I'm incredibly lazy with it. I started a blog and haven't been updating it, should really get on with that.

    My cutie mark is a pocket watch on top of a book.

    My cutie mark represents "Knowledge of the Past", or, in other wards, I'm a history buff. What I've always loved about it, is the warfare, the fashion, how things get their name, people, etc. It's also interesting how a single person can change the world, or how anyone can become famous. That person you served at that dinner? Well, thirty years later he is now President of the USA. No one would've guessed it. Also, history makes a great read for the witty comments that people come up with.


    My talents are about using history to help me in the future.

    I'm not sure what mine would be precisely. I wouldn't call myself super talented at anything really. The ones I do have tend to cluster around music and songwriting. On a good day I can churn out a decent poem as well (though it's been a while since I've done the latter. What's interesting is that the poems usually end up being blank verse, and yet they don't feel disjointed (except for a few lines in one particular poem, but that was a deliberate break of rhythm intended to cause one to pause slightly.

    I've been trying to start on a fic, but I've hit a major period of writer's block (it's affecting the songwriting stuff as well).

    It'll turn as it always does. It's not unusual for me to be able to churn out several songs in a day when it does break. I've probably got at least four albums worth of lyrical material lying around (less music). I'd easily have written over a hundred sets of lyrics over the years.

    December birthdays for the win!
    My boyfriend figured it out and the "Winter Moon Celebration" would technically be the start of winter... which most people attribute to December 21st though some people think winter starts ... I think on the 20th... But I was like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" :3

    Winter starts the 24[sup]th[/sup] in Canada.
    Only then does it get sufficiently cold by our standards.
    But I still have a unique birthday.

    Here in Oz we're lazy. Dec-Jan-Feb are summer, Mar-Apr-May is autumn (fall), Jun-Jul-Aug is winter, Sep-Oct-Nov is spring.

    ... Of course, our winter barely counts. :derpe:

    Right now it feels almost like early-mid spring rather than summer. Unusually cool here in Sydney town - I hear Goulburn (in the Southern Highlands, only about 200-250km from the Sydney CBD as the crow flies) had frosts the other night (very out of character for this time of year).

    Heh, just though of a cutie mark. One of the logos of my favourite bands. :)

    Strangely enough, it's not bad where I'm at. Usually by December it gets really cold, but so far its been pretty nice. Except for one or two days where it has been cold.

    Well, everyone here has way better talents than I do :(, but I celebrate the creation of my most successful anger inducing and confusing trick yet: the "Minefield" technique. I laugh my brain out my nose about how well it works, and boy does it work. My best friend threw a chair at me after thirty minutes of the stuff. A hater started screaming at me after ten minutes. A fellow band member threatened to kill himself after an hour, and I felt kind of bad afterwards because he was so angry and an hour can seriously mess you up. I'm working on another, less powerful trick, and I think I'll avoid some of the more fragile haters. I guess my cutie mark would be a trollface or a question mark. Think I should try my best not to use that one as much, but it's just so fun to make people RAGE. Or I guess another talent would be my persuasion skill. My friends were like,"My Little Pony whaaa?", but after five minutes, ninety percent were in the bargaining stage and tne rest were in denial. I guess I must have done a good job, because they still respect me, even those in denial. Good stuff.

    I'm exactly like you in this regard! My cutie mark, for example, represents my fascination with thunderstorms. As a kid, I used to be deathly afraid of them, but now I just love them! My favorite thing about them is lightning. I remember when I first decided to face my fear of thunder (which is what I was actually afraid of as a kid), and I saw the fantastic lightning bolts that caused it. I was awestruck and ever since have been a thunderstorm fanatic. The icon is from the old Weather Channel local forecasts, which just represents nostalgia for me since I grew up watching that channel a lot.

    So, in my particular case, my cutie mark doesn't represent my talent, but it represents a fascination. As for talents, hmmm... I don't really know, to be honest. I often don't think that positively of myself, so I've never really considered myself to have any talents, I guess. :/

    I want to design and develop video games.

    My cutie mark is a pawn. You know, a game piece. Because I love games and making them in general, not just video games (I've made myself a fair share of board games- what loneliness and boredom can do to you is amazing).
