gemfyre*~*The Collector*~*
Why do you love MLP so much?: I didn't like dolls when I was a kid. I prefferred more boyish toys. Ponies (and horses) were the only girly toys I liked. Also, I couldn't have a real horse so I had heaps of ponies instead. :)
How old were you when you started collecting MLP?: I got my first pony - Applejack - when I was 4 years old (I could have been just 5, I know it was 1984).
How old are you now?: 23
How many ponies are in your herd?: 488 I think. More on the way. Aiming for 500 by the end of the year.
Who was your first pony?: Applejack, I still have her!
Who was your last pony?: *thinks*... possibly Baby Count-A-Lot
Where do you get most of your ponies from? (Friends, eBay, etc.): Trading. I still search op-shops but barely ever find anything. Markets are on early on Sunday mornings and early on Sunday mornings doesn't exist in my world :(. I also resort to eBay but most stuff there is too expensive.
Do you think you'll collect them until you die of old age?: it's a possibility
Do you have a pony website?: yeah, but it hasn't been updated in about a year and a half
Do you display your ponies in your room or a seperate room?: My bedroom is teeny. The ponies are in their own room downstairs, dad calls it the stable.
Do you still play with your ponies or are they all packed away nicely?: Not much, but sometimes I will get some accessories and dress them up and stuff, it's fun!! And very theraputic. I had a bit of a shakeup in my life a couple of months ago and just playing with ponies helped.
Can you remember all the pony's names in your herd?: No way. I can name most if I see them, but some sets, like newborn twins, I always forget their names.
Have you ever done something you regretted with a pony(s)?: Nope, I lost Lemon Drop, but I barely remember having her in the first place and I have about 5 now.
Did you carry a pony wherever you went as a child?: Applejack came with me everywhere when i was little. When my collection was small it used to go with me to most places. And I'd often take a few ponies to school to play with (and re-enact the wedding of Tex and Princess Primrose)
Have you ever dressed up as pony for Halloween? No but I want to!!
Did you sleep with a pony(s) as a child?: yep - Shady and Tiny Bubbles, which explains Shady's terrible flocking rubs and frizzy hair
*~*The Ponies*~*
Are you a fan of the old ponies, new ponies, or both?: both, but the old ponies are far superior. The new ones are just cheap and shoddy.

*~*Odd questions*~*
Do you have adventures with the ponies in your dreams?: I dream about finding ponies but not about having adventures with them.

Do your parents and friends go crazy when you get into a pony mood?: Not really. My mum keeps saying "no more" but she loves 'em really.
Do you talk about MLPs all day to your friends and family?: Not all day, I have been known to talk peoples ears off if they "set me off"
Do you drive them nuts when you see a pony you want at a thrift store and they won't buy it for you?: If I see a pony in an op-shop I'll buy it, unless it's too expensive/manky/common, then I'll leave it
Do you keep on calling all the toy stores where you live to see if they still have any of the old ponies?: No, I have harrassed a few tho. Toyworld had pics of the new princesses in their catalogue and I got all excited and rushed down there, but they were just the plain old ones I already have. That was FALSE ADVERTSING, they never got those princesses. God knows where they got the picture.
Do you (or used to as a child) run around in the house, at the park or at school as a galloping pony? Hell yeah!! I used to gallop everywhere instead of run, but I was just a horse obsessed kid and always pretending I was riding one of my imaginary horses
Do you sing MLP songs in the shower? I probably have in the past, I'd probably do it at karaoke too if they had MLP songs available *grinz*
Do you know the Sea Pony song by heart? Pretty much
Do you wish MLPs were real? who doesn't??
Did you used to bug your pet by playing with the ponies all over them? lol, no
