    I can't see in which way "making up with Flash and Foxy" involves making pictures of somepony else's OC with torn off wings and a quote "I destroyed your wings. ~Testy"
    Call me touchy, but in my opinion this is tasteless, disrespectful and expected to be taken as offensive. I cannot imagine a scenario in which this would not have been taken as a direct and intended offense.
    Maybe that's just me though.


    I completely agree with Derpy here. And I also agree with Grey, sending testyal on a 24 hours forced holiday.

    @testyal: Seeing as Grey called justice, I will drop this topic for now. That does not change the fact, that this is your last chance though.
    Anyway, let me explain what exactly it is, that annoys me about this whole thing:

    1. Using someone's OC without permission to do so.
    2. Making a picture,basically crippling said OC, which represents a person after all.
    3. Adding an obviously offensive quote to said image.
    4. "It was meant to be funny" <- How someone can be serious about this, is beyond my capability to understand.

    End of this topic/discussion.

    I just got back from a concert at a local event. They had Nazareth come and play, and despite their age, they sounded SO AWESOME! They had a few issues with the sound equipment during the earlier portions of the show, but for the most part, it went smooth. We even managed to get them out one more time for an encore.

    I took my big summer vacation early. One of my cousins flew in to visit us and we all drove down to Orlando, Florida. I don't know about you guys, but I freaking LOVE theme parks. For a week and a half we visited three theme parks and a water park- absolutely amazing...

    Brohoof for eternity there. I stayed up my uncle's and his partner's house for 2 weeks in Northampton, we went around the country going to all sorts of theme parks. I have to sit at the front on everyone, I just love them. Although, the ones on Florida must be so much bigger and better. What are the theme parks there like?

    Well, everyone knows about the Disney World parks there, but I won't talk about those since I didn't go there this year. Anyway the three that I did go to:

    1. Universal Studios & Islands of Adventures: These two theme parks are mind blowing. The level of detail they put in their rides is astounding. In fact it has two rides that are considered the best in the world: The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Universal opened up a Harry Potter area a year ago and this ride is the epitome of technology and realism that I have ever seen. It was both scar and horrifying how real everything seemed to be. The other rides and attractions are also top notch.

    2. SeaWorld Orlando: it's not as much of a theme park when it comes to the number of rides, but the roller coasters they do have are fantastic. As the name suggests they have an incredible amount of aquatic wildlife that you can see, so it's like an aquarium on steroids. The main draw is of course the killer whales and the dolphins, which You can feed. Dolphins are f'n amazing. The whole park has so much to see that it's hard to take it all in. I personally spent almost two hours watching sea lions play around and fight over a rock they all wanted to sleep on

    3. Busch Gardens: this one isn't exactly in Orlando. It's about 45 minutes away in a city called Tampa. Now, this park is also mind blowing. It combines a zoo with high thrill rides seamlessly. As an aspiring zoologist, this was quite an experience to go to. They had everything from a gorilla sanctuary, kangaroos that you can feed, baby animals you can watch, white tigers, elephants, rhinos, and anything you can possibly imagine. There were two particular highlights for me though. The first was an aviary filled with countless varieties of birds. I bought some sort of nectar for them to feed on and as soon as I went in, I was bombarded by no less than 15 lorikeets. It was quite something. The second highlight were the cheetahs. Now, cheetahs are my all time favorite animal and I didn't even know they had them. When I did see them, I had a minor freak out. Their enclosure was like an overgrown racetrack and the cheetahs were all playing and racing each other. As I sat next to the glass a cheetah came straight to me and looked me in the eye. That was the 2nd greatest thing to happen to me this year, bested only by joining this site.

    So yeah, these parks are pretty great, you should check them out one day!

    When I finally leave the UK for good, never toreturn, I'm heading for the US. There, I think I'm going to have some theme parkathon or something. Hopefully, I'll visit it before that, however.

    Random Idea, pony roller coaster. Probably incorperating Rainbow Dash into it somehow.

    I plan on moving to Orlando for good in a few years and work part time at one of the theme parks. It'd be awesome to meet up with you and give a tour.


    A Hasbro park doesn't seem to odd an idea. There's already a Legoland so if Lego can do it Hasbro shouldn't have a problem. They have MLP, Transformers, GI Joe, I don't really know what else. They also might run into trouble with Universal Studios, who are finishing up on their own Transformers ride in Hollywood. Doesn't really matter to me though as long as I get an accurate Ponyville to walk around in.

    International Friendship Day? How has that not been made a big thing here? Suprised there's not a whole thread on it.

    Much love everyone!

    It's quite a recently made "holiday". The United Nations only declared it on 27th of April this year.

    Seeing the 5 stages of Bronydom topic reminded me of an image I was going to post there but decided it was too off-topic. That image is also too close to the same thing as the 5 stages topic for me to make it its own topic. So I'll just post it here and see if people say anything about it! It's the 7 levels of Bronydom!

    [​IMG]

    I think I would be considered in the Twilight level only because of the fact that this is partly based on fan fiction... I don't read fan fiction. and I never will.

    inb4 someone asks why I don't read fan fiction and I have to explain myself again and it turns into a huge discussion.

    I wish I could say the same.

    STUPID
    FANFICTION

    I'll stop bringing it up now.

    EDIT: Actually, you know what? Forget it. I'm taking fan fiction out of the system. Pinkie Pie level attained!
