Thoughts on Recent Events

Sorry about not updating these last few days, but I'd like to think I've got a pretty good excuse. I don't really feel like writing about the mundane details of life in Halley Research Station - or worse, yet another post bitching about how I'm in my twenties and still haven't had a boyfriend - when we've got real goddamn alien contact! They're pretty close to us here in Antarctica, too. Like pretty much everyone, I've been glued to news feeds these last few days. I figure now's as good a time as any to share my thoughts on them.

If half of what I'm hearing is true, they're superhuman. They live a good 300-400 years, the pegasi can fly more freely and are more maneuverable than just about any aircraft, the earth ponies (I think that's the term, don't remember though) can pull dozens of times their own weight, and the unicorns can...where do I begin? And of course, there's their princesses, who are ridiculously powerful and long-lived even compared to the rest of them.

Based on what they've said, they live in some kind of utopia, too. No pollution, plenty of food for everyone, quality healthcare, truly benevolent leaders...As far as I'm concerned, though, that's propaganda until proven otherwise. It all sounds a bit too good to be true.

A lot of people find them amazing. But personally - and I hope I'm not the only one here - I'm nervous about them. Sure, they've been friendly so far, but what do they think of us? And if they don't like us, what are they going to do about it? And if they really are our friends, what is with that damn shield keeping all the humans out? I don't think they've let a single person actually visit Equestria.

I've got more I wanted to say, but I've got kitchen duty tonight. I should do a post about that some time actually, but suffice to say the only good thing about it is it only comes once a month.

Oh, and it gets worse: Eddy's picking tonight's movie. We're all watching Shoot 'Em Up. Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with the guy, but could he just once go with something that doesn't have a double-digit onscreen body count? (The answer is "yes, as long as it has a triple-digit onscreen body count.")

Honestly Iceman, you came across as a bit paranoid in this. I think they really want peace. Just because our world is violent doesn't mean theirs is. Personally I like our new neighbors, maybe they can bring us utopia too :)

Ronnie Reagan liked to say "trust but verify", and I think we should apply that here. The shield's probably just the ponies doing the same thing. Probably.

So you think it's going to be more Independence Day than E.T.?
Man, think of how embarrassing it'd be if humanity got blown up by ponies. Don't let them shoot you with their magic lasers, we need you freezing your ass off for our entertainment :D
