Greetings! I call myself a little "mixed up" in a good sense because I have a variety of interests, passions and group associations.
Disney Message Boards: Started out at MousePad, went to Fab's Boards, and ended up here at LoT, my favorite place of all. It's a given that we all love Disney, but what's great about LoT is that most of the topics and discussions here are
not about Disney. There are thousands of all-Disney fan Web sites and boards out there already, but LoT seems to be extra special, friendly, open and welcoming. I also post on MiceChat, where there is a growing contingent of Disney's California Adventure fans.
Theme Parks: Enjoy spending time at all varieties--fast (Six Flags Magic Mountain), slow (Legoland), in between (Knott's Berry Farm), water (SeaWorld), animals (San Diego Zoo), and home (Disneyland, but especially Disney's California Adventure).
Travel Goal: To visit each Disney theme park worldwide.
Job: Currently a newspaper/magazine editor who is also a photographer and graphic designer. I also run a steady side business as a photographer.
Entertainment: Big fan of the performing arts, especially music, dance and theater.
Movies: I love big-budget, summer-blockbuster series like "Star Wars," "The Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings," yet also enjoy romantic, sentimental dramas like "Fried Green Tomatoes," "A Walk in the Clouds" and "Roman Holiday."
Music: A typical iTunes playlist could include: Madonna or Laura Branigan (Pop), Expose' or Roxette (Dance Pop), Steven Curtis Chapman or Jars of Clay (Contemporary Christian), Martina McBride or George Strait (Country), Go-Gos or Bangles ('80s Pop/Rock), Dave Koz or David Benoit (Contemporary Jazz), Coco Lee or Jacky Cheung (Chinese), Yuri or Gypsy Kings (Spanish), Gladys Knight or Nina Simone (R&B), Fleetwood Mac or The Moody Blues (Classic Rock), with movie soundtracks, classical music and Disney music added to the mix.
In another lifetime or alternate universe: I would be working at NASA.
Friends/groups/associations: Various journalism associations, filmmaking and film festival groups, photography network, Apple Computer fans, space enthusiasts, cooking/restaurant-discovery group, and Flying Samaritans (volunteering at medical clinics in Mexico).
