Kristeen’s Khaos

After such serious topics from before, I felt like changing to something lighter like my current obsession (other than chocolate )…MLP!  MLP stands for My Little Pony and yes MLP is definitely my new obsession.  Actually, it’s not really new because I had a nice collection when I was younger but then I got rid of my “little kid” ponies because I was too grown up.  It’s really too bad that I did that because if I had kept them they would’ve been worth some money today and I wouldn’t have to be re-collecting like I am now and have been for the last 2 years. 

Personally I don’t think I’m obsessed but rather just an avid collector.  I have at least 150 MLPs from all three generations with most my collection being comprised of G3s.  BTW…the generations are commonly referred to by MLP collectors as G1 (released early 1980s to early 1990s), G2 (released mid 1990s to late 1990s), & G3 (released 2002 to now).  I also have a small collection of about 15 custom ponies.  Customs are Hasbro MLPs that are transformed into whatever the artist (customizer) creates or gets commissioned to do.  Customs are my favorite right now because the Hasbro MLPs out right now are all the same repetitive “core 7″ ponies with just different designs…boring! 

I’m also a member at MLP Arena (http://www.mlparena.com if you want to check it out).  It is the coolest place ever…at least for me and others like me who are also addicted to MLP!  It is a site completely devoted to MLP and it has soooo many forums.  The forums range from customs to pony art to adoptables to international hard to find ponies to mini comic book threads to sales/trade to bragging about your collection.  And the people on there are some of the nicest I’ve ever met online…everyone is friendly, helpful, supportive, and encouraging.  It’s a fabulously fun place to hang out and chat about everything and anything MLP and more!

Sometimes I feel a bit strange that I actually really like MLP as much as I do.  I admit I think it’s a bit immature and I wonder what is wrong with me that I’m so into MLP.  My family always teases me about my obession for MLP and they think I’m missing a few marbles because of it and maybe I am.  But you know what?  I don’t care!  I LOVE MLP…so what?!  Get your own obsession !
