Uh, hi. Yeah, Magic's my special talent; got the cutie mark and everything.

My parents think I'm a prodigy or something. Don't get me wrong; They've kinda got the right idea. I mean, I can see magic, and it's freaking everywhere. I've just had a little trouble figuring out how to do anything with it.

Teachers can't seem to teach me anything (I don't think they ever really tried), so I've just kinda... decided to try and figure it out on my own.

Um... There's something I've left out. Why I'm having a hard time figuring this stuff out, why no magic teacher could ever get anything through to me...

You see... I'm an Earth Pony.

My name is Strange Design, and I have no idea what I'm doing.
