any one else experience a sort of "pony high" when they first started watching the show, I tell you I didn't watch anything except pony videos, and look up pony art and music for like a week or more when I caught up, felt good

I got in around November 2010, about a month after the show started airing. I was just some guy who lurked /co/, and suddenly these threads about MLP started popping up. I got curious and checked it out.

I got the exact same "pony high"
The only other time I've been so obsessed with something is when I started playing Dota 2 in 2012

Literally everyone on this board has a story to tell.
