things you have in common with others - Mercyknight - 05-23-2015
Ok so do you share a weird interest in SciFi with your waifu? How about you like yo swim with a fellow swimmer.
Maybe you are a sports enthusiast and someone in your life shares sports with you.
Maybe you just have a fave food in common with a pony?
Who knows but here is a good place to start the talking about it right?

Funny you should mention something like this.
My girl doesn't like anime, I do, she doesn't like fish (sushi), I do, she doesn't like loud music (heavy metal and rock), I do... pretty sure their some other things Amena and I don't have the same taste for.
Amena like music I don't enjoy so, but play it for her...
I don't mean to derail what the purpose thread asking for us, but thought and wonder if other members here have this happen as well with their love one(s).
Amena wanted to point out that we enjoy tea, which I agree.

Sure, Sour Soul, there's plenty that A.J. and I don't agree on. One of the big ones is modern art; I love it with all my heart, she thinks it doesn't make a lot of sense.
But there's also plenty that we do have in common. We both love a lot of the same music, and we both enjoy dancing (including square dancing; A.J.'s been my tutor for improving my skills at that). We both like the outdoors (though she's maybe a bit more enthusiastic about sporting in the outdoors, while I have a little more of a taste than her for indulging in the romantic beauty of nature), and in particular we're always looking for the chance to fish together. She's a right good angler! Not to mention that we both love plain, delicious home cooking! But more than anything, I'd say we share the same fundamental convictions regarding what Faulkner called the "eternal verities of the heart," even if we express them in different ways. More than anything, I'd say it's that core similarity that draws us together.
Perhaps this is somewhat unrelated, but...I may have been raised in the suburbs, but my mother's side of the family is salt-of-the-earth farm stock; A.J. really brings out that side of me and my heritage in a way nopony else does.
Since this isn't a thread solely devoted to our loves, I suppose I can also mention that I have a best friend with whom I share a great deal in common...especially a taste for media that's either insane or so bad it's good! To have both him and A.J. in my life is a blessing for which I fear I might never be able to repay the universe.

I wish I could fish, maybe one day...
I hate you Sentimental, for what I consider you to be a nice up being to life, but all the same like you for being one the most supportive and active member here. ^ ^
RE: things you have in common with others - Sentimental Gentleman - 05-23-2015
Well, thanks for the kind words, Sour Soul...and I guess there's not much to be done about the hatred. I'm not a perfect person, so I definitely understand how I could grate on someone, but I just try to do my best to be honest and supportive, because I have yet to meet a person who wasn't worth supporting, who lacked their own unique inner beauty worth standing behind.
Anyways, I'm hoping you might consider telling us about some of the things you and Pinkamena have in common. Or maybe you two are an example of that old adage "opposites attract?" Obviously, that might be something that you don't care to divulge, so no pressure or anything.

Angelbabe and I like many of the same foods; though she also finds some of the things I eat or drink to be repulsive. xD While she doesn't care for jazz and Baroque / classical like I do, we both enjoy Led Zeppelin and other rock-or-related music (makes my having picked it up way back in middle school all the more worthwhile). I'd say we both enjoy reading; though reading with her is what makes it truly enjoyable. Yu-Gi-Oh!, as I've doubtless said a thousand times at this point, is an interest we share. It is a game after all, and she's no qualms about soundly defeating me at it. We also watch the series together, and I believe she'd like some of the other anime I used to watch. Dancing. I've no idea what I'm doing, but I'm compelled to dance with her when she begins to move to a "danceable" song.

Hate is a such a strong word, and since you cannot detect the tone of sarcasm I use on that post very well, know I was I just playing around. I very much wouldn't change one thing about my life, or trade it for anyone for the matter.
Most people have it easier then others, and would wish to grasp that kind simple lifestyle. When I was a child, I was filled with envy in certain points in my life, for vary reason onto different circumstance that I've witness. Later in life, I learn to appreciate what I have, than just cast cold glands on those who very well deserve the life they should have, and not the ones like I had before.

You haven't met with Taxman then. XD

I know Amena doesn't have much of a past, she is created by the dark remains of what can be found in the depths of my mind. Yet, one very common ground and obvious fact is that we love each other very dearly, and it's not because we only found each other just because... nor was it because we understand the abundant need for one another, or the silly attractiveness of what hold our eyes in want, no... the only common thing I can think is how we both are alike. We're very different, how she thinks, how I act, how she speak, how I see, and so on... but we were both lost one day, unsure what's their for any us, till we found each other, and save one another from despair.
Also, we aren't that inverse... we both are exploring new things together that we both enjoy. The park is one, that has make us talk about buying a new bike to ride around... Since she is a pony, she would just fly next to me or ride on my back. :P Such joy! ^ ^

RE: things you have in common with others - Sentimental Gentleman - 05-23-2015
Sorry I missed that sarcasm, Sour Soul. Sometimes it can be hard to pick up on things like that through the internet.
It's definitely true I've had a pretty privileged upbringing; I figure that means all the more that I have to use whatever advantages I've had for the sake of others. That's something I'm still trying to understand the nuances of, though...
Taxman, huh? A guy from the old forum?
And I was really excited to see what you shared about yourself and Pinkamena. It sounds like you two are basically discovering new and lovely things to share together all the time! That's just so cool.
I guess, to turn back to the topic of the thread, I could mention another thing that A.J. and I share in common: a taste for games. For a mare that works as hard as she does, she's pretty playful, and it doesn't matter much to her whether their indoor games or outdoor games so long as their fun. It means it's been easy to break out board games and whatnot that she'd find interesting...and we'll often play a bit of poker together to while away the time!
