I'll try to make this brief, but I just had to find a place for that "Construction Site" pic I had on my EC page while the Lady Bug Jamboree was under construction.  I was keeping it on my forum, but every time the thread would expire, somebody would ask to see it again.  I had no idea it would be so popular, LOL!

I've lost a lot of my memories when I was hospitalised back in 2008.  Not like Regarding Henry since I still have what I think are real memories of my whole childhood all the way up through high school graduation and picking up my diploma and seeing another long-haired student lose his lunch on the front steps on my way out to my car.  I hope that wasn't too graphic.  Anyway, I'm gonna be relying a lot on posts I've found online written by me in my "previous life" up until 8 December 2008, when my real memories begin.  I also have Howrse records on my computer that tell me Minty was my starting pony I created when I first created my Howrse account, and Howrse itself tells me the day she was born, which means that's the day I created my account.

Alright, so I created my first Howrse account on 31 December 2007.  Some time after that, according to what I can gather, I opened an EC called the Mint Lemonade Stand.  How that became the Lady Bug Jamboree is a little bit unclear.  I thought I read somewhere that somebody wanted me to, but I can't find where I read that, so I can't confirm.  I am a fan of My Little Pony (and was prior to my memory gap too), so another thing I've discovered is a whole new generation of My Little Pony toys and movies.  One of them is called Pinkie Pie's Lady Bug Jamboree.  I think it's a pretty obvious reference to that!

In 2009, my own memories now, I had a security breach, and I had to get rid of my Howrse account.  But I didn't wanna quit Howrse because practically everybody in my family plays it, and I thought it would be just dumb to quit.  So on 24 July 2009, I created a completely new account.  I decided to honour whatever agreement I made with whoever to run the Lady Bug Jamboree, but when you create a Howrse account, you can't just start all built up and stuff.  You need to build up a bunch of money and karma points and stuff.  So I created an EC called Construction Site while I grew crops to sell for money and wait for my seniority to build up enough so that I could buy all the boxes I wanted and build up a supply of carrots, health mashes, and clean meadows for pasture.  I knew what I wanted to do with it and how to do it, and I knew it would be called the Lady Bug Jamboree, so I drew a picture to put on the EC page.  My dad drew the people in the picture, and he improved some of the details.  His name on Howrse is JRipper.

I was just about to start adding pet rabbits to my stalls when I dumped everything I owned into one last massive crop of turnips that would have made me a multi-millionaire, and the turnip market completely died, and so I had practically no money at all.  I'm still recovering from that, but I'm very close to stall pets again!  I'm not likely to be a multi-millionaire any time soon though.
