How and when did I get into My Little Pony?

As the title suggests I'm going to more so rant than actually explain about how and when I started watching and liking MLP-FIM

a while back in one of the threads on this site I posted that around episode 8 of season 3 was when I joyed the fandom, or at least when I marathoned the show. While the marathoning part is more or less accurate I don't think that its accurate of me actually joining the fandom. I first heard of the show whenever Adamwestslapdog ( an Abridger Look him up if you want ) changed his TV show of the moment to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic I don't remember exactly when that was but if I had to guess I would say around October 2012 or sometime close to there....But I do know that that's what started my becoming of a Brony. From that point I started watching an episode on occasion (not very often tho) but mostly I was looking into the Bronies more as a subject to study than anything else. I found TheLivingTombstone and all the big name Bronies very early in my "research" as I called it. SaberSparks balled of the Brony, The idea channels episode on Bronies, Teens react to My Little Pony, and other things like that are what I was watching. Pretty much anything that was a documentary of some sort took up my entire November (more or less). By the time I was done with my "research" It would have been roughly two or three weeks before Apple Family Reunion aired so closer to the begging of December or end of November. Well to keep this from getting any longer (and me being to tired to what to type anymore) I'm just gonna say that I became a Brony somewhere between the middle of October to the middle of December. All because of curiosity and an abridger named Adamwestslapdog. (to give an exact date December 10 2012 Why that date? It's close enough to the end of my "research" period and into my marathoning period.)
