An Introduction

eighteenth street · 10-18-2006, 08:06 PM

Hey everybody, I'm new here. You probably don't recognize my username, but some of you might remember me. I remember quite a few of you, anyway. For a while I went as "Squinky" on a number of Disneyland boards.

A couple of days ago I went through all of my old posts at Mousepad (I was surprised they were still there, actually) and it really brought me back. I mean, I was 14 when I first signed up for Mousepad, so to be able to go back and basically look through my childhood was a very weird and surprising experience. I remembered all the good times I had on that board, before it kind of took a wrong turn somewhere, and I know most of you are familiar with that so I won't get too far into it. Since then, I've been at Micechat basically since its inception, and while it's a much better situation I don't really relate to any of the people there and I kept wondering where the best posters from Mousepad's heyday had gone to.

After looking through my posts and getting all teary eyed I pm'd zapppop and he told me a li'l story about the recent history of the online Disneyland community and told me to sign up here, so I did. Turns out all the posters I remember liking from Mousepad have been here this whole time! It was really trippy to look through the names when I first came here and remember almost all of you from so many years ago.

Anyway, I really like the whole aesthetic that's going on here and I think I'll have a lot of fun. I'm glad to be here!

I remember you, Squinky!!! Well, I remember you as Squinky.

Nice to have you here. I am not here a lot but I do consider this my home as I once did MousePad. {back in the day}

And, I love your avatar. Cool photography.

Welcome! I don't want to do the math of how many years past 14 you are now, but go pour yourself a cocktail of your choosing.

Not old enough for that (legally) but I'll make one anyway.

Glad to help contribute to your delinquency - on the other hand let's just swank things up a bit and just pretend you're in Europe somewhere - hey, you never know with the Internet

Welcome!

I do remember you, too! Glad you found us. It took me a while to get over here as well after the turn of events at MP. I still post both as there are some good people on both boards, and they are two totally different worlds altogether!

Welcome Squink, I mean 18th St!
