I've just remembered about Livejournal

You know, I've lived independently for five years, apparently as a full and genuine adult, and am very, very far away from both my parents for 99% of the year. And I still feel a slight disapproving glare over my shoulder somewhere from three thousand miles to the east when I add an extra spoonful of sugar to lemonade.

I always liked My Little Pony, even when I was younger. I blame my sister. From NES Barbie to PSX Croc and all the My Little Pony-like VHS movies in between, she got me into a lot of things just by getting them ostensibly for her and then enjoying them as a group activity. It's probably as big an explanation for why I turned out the way I did as all the furry bait is.

(As revenge, that went both ways and I accidentally got her into infamously brutal NES titles like A Boy and His Blob and Snake, Rattle 'n Roll.)

That sounds fair :) If there was anything I did to my sister, it was turning her into a PS-era Final Fantasy fan... being outnumbered three to one meant she must have had to put up with more boyish pursuits a lot of the time.

What I'm really impressed by is that even though we grew up with the same entertainment, I was the only one who later turned into a rabbit.

My sister seems relatively normal compared to me, too. Maybe the internet got us? I don't know!
