Newbies and relative newbies

[mistyisjafo]

It is funny that not a lot of Newbies have done this. Ok you newbies, time to own up!

Meanwhile I'll talk about myself, which is something I just love to do.

Mistyisjafo = Teena. Originally from MC but taken in by NA and brought to the Lot. Now a regular visitor to my home board the LoT.

I'm a special events manager for a non-profit in Orange County, I have my own home that I've owned for going on 2 years, I was in a 10 year relationship but currently single & loving it, I have a kitty that I spoil to extreme aka Her Royal Highness Princess Dutchess Douglas-Gibbs, I love Stephen King and Charlie Sheen, Eeyore is my mentor, can't get enough TV and I hate the great outdoors except for the beach!

Okay fine... Complaining about the noobs and our 'browsing' (what can I say, I'm a browser..)

I am still a noob. I found this board through the MP boards. Disney is my ultimate guilty pleasure. I am such a sucker for all of it. I love to take my son there and watch him have the time of his life and give Mickey hugs and I feel like bursting into tears. Dorky yes.. I get too busy to post here all the time. Although now that my days are a little less hectic with the boy at kindergarten all day, I am trying to post on a more regular basis. I mainly check out what is going on here (since all of you are very interesting and very cool) and I have been lurking and posting around various bands boards.(Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service, The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, etc. Can't be Disney ALL the time right?)

Oh yeah other vitals, 25, live in the Valley. Used to work as a video game tester,it was an incredibly boring job but I have made friends that I wouldn't trade for anything, at THQ but now I am full time homemaker/engineering/computer programming student. The significant other (FYI: I am not gay but calling him my boyfriend after 9+years and a child seems really silly) is a DVD tester at Panasonic. If we keep these jobs up we would be such a hit at career day at my son's school!! (So Holden's mom you play video games all day and Dad you watch DVD's all day? Where do I sign up!!!)

I wish I read more, I wish I had more money, I wish I had a tattoo of a little purple kitty on my back, I wish I still played the piano/drums. "I wish the world was flat like the old days so I could travel just by folding a map."

I hope I have not bored you all with my post. Thank you and Good Night!!!!

Time to celebrate - we actually got a relative newbie to post.

But somehow, anybody who posts on this board never seems like a newbie. We're all family from day 1

Ok, you dragged me out.

I'm a lurker on just about every Disney board around, with various nicknames, most of which start with B

I own my own business and work from home. I have 2 kids and a husband, 2 dogs and 2 cats (the bird died Sunday night).

I live just south of the Canadian border, up in what will become a frozen wasteland here in a couple months and about 30-45 minutes from Wendybeth

Likes? Kids who listen and do what they're told (right...), shopping, reading, traveling, chatting with friends, good food.

Dislikes? Disrespectful parents, stupid drivers, mowing the lawn...

Ok ok-

I'm mostly a lurker on other disney boards under various nicks.

I live in San Diego and have a 9 year old daughter who is just a hoot to have around. Single but thinking about looking.

I sadly like lots of lame 80's music and have become addicted to really horrible reality shows (Life on the D List anyone?). I hate serious, oscar nominated movies.

I'm from a small town in North Eastern CA and miss it a lot, I'm actually 5th generation on my dad's side. Lived in LA for about 10 years and worked at a video gaming company - admin not programming or anything.

I have traveled a bit and would love to do more - as soon as I win that damned lottery I'm off.

Okay, I mostly lurk here and on Mice Chat. You will find me at either place as snowflake (snowflake is becuase I adore Disney's Fantasia). I am new to the boards which is probably why I'm still a semi-lurker.

I'm newly reawakening my love of all things Disney and am looking forward to my first trip back to the Land in decades.

I love great food, good food and once in a while not so great food. Movies, love them, all eras, all varieties from all countries. American silent film is a special passion of mine and I'm working on a few projects which I do hope to translate into a book (also hoping to not make it deadly dull in the process). So I am a film geek and a geeky type person in general, with (I hope) hidden reserves of swankiness.

New music, I have lost touch with new music. I'm too busy learning about old music, classical, opera and the great american songbook. It's no doubt the disco from my childhood had an effect and scarred me for life....could have also been the 10 years

NA introduced me to LoT and I am glad of it. This place has all of the cool wonderful things I love and none of the BS I've seen on other boards, even at times on MC.

So, in a nut shell, glad to be here!

Duh, now you know why it is taking years on my film research...to conclude that thought:

the 10 years I moonlighted at Tower Records to satify my craving for LPs and CDs at a discount. I was exposed to a lot of wonderful music and also a lot of absolute crap and suffered some major musical burnout.

Okay, retiring now, I'm too young for senior moments!

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).

Yey! It's good to see you newbies/lurkers.
