My transformation into brony? I skipped stages 1-4 completely mostly because i started watching it out of curiocity.
Thanks to, ePONYmous's post as a template. Stage 1: Denial. First, I saw a couple pictures on the internet but didn't take much notice. I thought they looked too colorful and girly. Then, I found KnowYourMeme's page on MLP. I though it was absolutely absurd that males could call this stuff manly. Stage 2: Anger. Actually, this was mostly Avoidance for me. I was suddenly afraid that if i watched MLP, then I might like it, and later be considered unmanly and related hater terms. So for about a week or two, I tried to avoid all things pony related. Stage 3: Bargaining. Soon enough, I found myself on KnowYourMeme's MLP page. I thought, "You know what, what is there to lose? If I don't like it, it will just fade into memory..." So on 10/22/2012 (mm/dd/yy), I watched 8 episodes in a row. (I know, that's not a lot ). Later, I found Everypony on 10/29/2012 (mm/dd/yy). Stage 4: Depression. Then I realized I've just used up about 2 hours watching ponies. I couldn't sleep that night, confounding all those ponies driving me to insomnia. For a long time, I've been a closet brony. Stage 5: Acceptance. I still am mostly a closet brony, but I've been getting bolder and more courageous since. My desktop is now ponies, I'm practicing drawing and making music to draw ponies and make pony music later, I want some pony shirts... By boogily! In terms of stages, I feel like I'm at a 4.6.
